What's a scavenger?
I found a harmless NPC casually strolling about through Boston and its name was "scavenger". She walked to my County Crossing settlement, so first thing I thought was 'Oh joy, we'll get a new settler'... But then she just walked through it and strolled on westwards... So they're not settlers-to-be. What are they then? Do they serve any purpose in the story of the game? They have no dialog either.

They're what they're named. They're scavengers.They just wander around the world. I think you can kill them for some decent loot

Random NPC's for immersion, I take it your new to Fallout Series and Elder Scrolls games? If you were not you'd know that from previous games, there are at least 2 dozen randomly generated NPC's that are in game to add "Life" to the games.

I have no scavenging stations, so they're not my scavengers. So they're just filling space basically? Adding some random life to the game world?

Naah not new. I played ESO and an abomination that goes by the name of Skyrim.

Scavengers are peaceful until you manage to piss them off. Once you piss them off they ALL become hostile.

The way to piss them off is to go near their claims or during the USS Constitution mission if you side with the robots over them.

They will also fight the other factions in-game.

Eso was a bit dark and dull, but it got a lot of stuff right that Skyrim got wrong, such as the progression system, combat system and inventory system. And I ride a frikking leopard, man. a frikkin leopard.

Playing one true TES game does not provide you with enough experience with the series to formulate an opinion on what Skyrim got wrong (Skyrim being the only true TES game out of the two you mentioned) ESO is not part of the TES series therefore it doesn't count, it's not even made by the same studio.

I object. I have a fresher opinion on the matter than people who play ES game after ES game, because I can compare with contemporary games that are up to standard.

I suggest you take up a different attitude when it comes down to someone having a different opinion.

They are just scavengers. But keep alert on them, because they are by no meanse trust worthy, Some have out right attacked me, others tried tell me how things will work on their turns, either way I blast them. I only came across on that didn't want the fight and I let them move on, but I think it was because it was just the one, and I had Cait with her faveriot mingun and myself..

So always keep your head on a swivel with them people.. they get crazy of what is to be theirs...
