how do i get rid of billy

[steventirey]

By following the quest (Kid in a Fridge) and taking him home. Or selling him along the way.

[The Inept European]

Go to his parents house. Options open right up.

Billy Peabody.

[Xenon The Noble]

Shoot him.
Sell him
Stick him in a stew (cannibal perk)
lead him through a mine field. Little Billy is very good about finding them.
Lead him to his parents (boring)

Do you guys find your SS checking all the fridges in the commonwealth to see if there's more children in them?

that's so creepy. The one thing that I still won't do.
usually sell billy, kill and loot the guy who bought billy, then take him home after removing two mines.
210 years in a fridge... gives me the shivers.

[Nitemares]

get to within visual range of the fridge...

Open console.
Click fridge.
type "disable" in console.
Press "enter"

Watch as that abomination of a Quest disappears from the game world like it should, never to be triggered.


Of all the quests in the game... "Kid in a Fridge" is the ONLY quest no one will admit to making... which should tell you something.

They left out a dialogue option.

5. You want to fess up? I am not an idiot.

Billy: Okay you got me. I really wasn't in there for Centuries. My Parents and I were being threatened by the Gunners from Quincy. Bullet threatened to take me and so I ran away and he was chased after me. I saw you coming down the road and hid in the fridge; Thinking you would encounter Bullet and he would forget about me or you would deal with him and I would be done with him. Either way was fine by me...its the way the Wasteland works.

Aw - after the first 3 lines. I was expecting a nursery rhyme!

And are we thinking that Squire Maximus from the Fallout TV show is canonically the Kid In The Fridge? Or is that just some kind of callback?

Billy was a little Ghoul
Whose Skin was patchy and flaked
He wandered into a quest
that was really half baked

It made no sense
and contridicted Established lore*
And Billy was mocked and Reviled
FOREVER MORE!

Best I can do on short notice.

* Fallout 1 City of Ghouls needing water. Ghoul Settlers needing food or becoming unhappy in you settlements. Probley more but those are the top ones.

Edit: Replaced Ever with Forever. Adds another sylabille and doesn't Evoke Poe.

....

Boston is a long way from Shady Sands...

And its not like the trope hasn't been used before in a Fallout game.
First instance of it is a Indiana Jones reference in New Vegas... then Fallout 4.... So why not have kiddo Mix hide in a 1950's fridge?

(have you actually seen one in real life? The things are bricks of steel with ZERO plastic, and very little bakelite. Not that it would stop a nuclear blast... but then Hollywood thinks revolvers hold 60 rounds....)

Back in the 70's my grandmother had one (I THINK it was a ?Frigadaire?) She called it an Ice box. When my Dad and Uncles built an addition to her house they got her a new Fridge. She still kept and used the old one though. If I had to make a guess it was from the 50s but not 100% sure.

[The Inept European]

As a kid they used to terrify us about not getting stuck in those old fridges that would dumped out behind houses etc.

I guess that’s ultimately where the meme comes from. And it fits with the nostalgia.
