Machete Mike

[SaveTheZombies]

I blew him off. Is it worth taking the deal; do you get anything more than just caps?

[Yhwach]

I found after posting my comment, that it's better to just kill him and turn in the tools, you get more caps, and earn the trust of mariner

The problem is... That's an evil move to do and some people do like to roleplay as Pacifists, so to say.

Now, if he was killed by ghouls and I didn't save him in time, that's a different story.

I'm not much of a roleplayer nor do i see the point of it, so either way.

Actually no, if you kill him and take his caps it won't effect the ending, as long as you turn in the tools you're able to proceed all the way to her last quest.
It WILL however, mess it up if you sell the tools.

Kill him. Lots of caps. :3

[capnclammy]

lol I didn't feel like killin him. He seemed decent enough, but I'm helping the Far Harbor locals. I didn't feel bad tellin him to take a flyin ♥♥♥♥.

[Geredis]

I turned down teh offer, blew his head off...and pocketed 3100 caps as I picked throug his corpse. Wasn't pleased he though he could buy the tools off of me for such a ridiciulously low price.

I walked out of the building and his corpse was surrounded by ghouls.

*Shrug*

This problem kept happening to me lmao
Except he wasn't dead but was dying as soon as I left the one building.
I had to keep reloading my save to run outside and kill the ghouls before they killed him. On my maybe 15th try it finally worked

Were you able to do her quests after killing him? I'm pretty sure you get locked out of her future quests if you personally kill him.

I guess that means something else where you're from?

What do I do if The Mariner will not talk to me anymore after dealing with Machete Mike?
If you attack Machete Mike, The Mariner will no longer be friendly to you and you will not be able to talk to them. We recommend you load an earlier save and do not attack Machete Mike.

lol. Yea, when a 'yank' says that, it means they more or less ignored the person.

WARNING TO COMPLETIONISTS: DO NOT kill Machete Mike he is essential to the Mariners quest line. If you kill him you lose Hull breach 2 and 3 along with The Great Hunt quests. On a side note I read that it's possible to get the caps off his body and still do the quests for the Mariner only if he is provoked to kill you through pickpocket. If you kill him this way it would be in self defense although I CANNOT confirm this works. Bethesda dropped the ball on this one it's very inconvenient to discover you cannot complete your $25 DLC because you offed a dude named Machete Mike.

He can't get killed by ferals though, he goes into that weird crouching-downed state.
