New Reno prostitute

The prostitutes of New Reno are the city's premier attraction in Fallout 2.

Background
Nuclear annihilation did not manage to obliterate the baser instincts of the human animal. The legions of New Reno prostitutes are a sad reminder of how vice and exploitation of women remain profitable through the ages. Especially if the largest post-apocalyptic state, the NCR, bans prostitution.

The prostitutes themselves are usually dressed in tattered clothes, draped seductively around their bodies, sometimes barely holding their endowment. They also use a variety of methods to provide themselves with a pleasant scent, like flowers (though for some, like the Chosen One, they may smell like mother). However, when one looks upon their face, the truth comes out. A seductive wink is just as likely as seeing eyes like blown fuses or an appraising look (with a jeweler's skill, no less). Some prostitutes may even look as if they kill and cannibalize their mates.

Within the game, they provide comic relief with over 2800 lines dialogue that is often snarky, sarcastic, and breaks the fourth wall.

Other interactions

 * Their dialogue changes depending on the player character's reputation. These include Slaver, Made Man, Prizefighter, and Porn Star reputations.
 * They also react to the player wearing any variety of power armor, destroying the Enclave, and various members of the player's party.

Appearances
New Reno prostitutes appear only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes
These characters have some of the most concentrated amount of cultural references in Fallout 2.
 * AC/DC
 * They will mention Australian hard rock band AC/DC when revealing that they are up for another bunch of letters, "B n' D" (bondage and dominance/discipline).
 * Fallout
 * They will reference the Vault Dweller in dialogue, claiming that "for the last time, [they] don't want to dress up as the 'Vault Dweller.'"
 * and Good Will Hunting
 * After the Chosen One becomes a Porn Star in New Reno many of the residents will comment about the pornographic movies that the Chosen One was in. One Vault Sexteen is a spoof on the Vault Dweller's Vault 13. Another is Good Will Humping is a spoof on the story of Good Will Hunting.
 * Fallout developers
 * They and the fluffers also mention that they were scripted by Tom French and remark that he has "soft, gentle hands."
 * They and the Reno townsfolk will remark that they miss Tim Cain, who used to bake wonderful bread and then spank them like small children. They also mention that Feargus Urquhart "got a frowny-look on his face when he saw how many float text messages I have."
 * They mention that Chris Avellone and Tom French designed New Reno and they are both sex gods, and that that Tim Cain is one of their regular customers.
 * They will remark how many strippers were at Feargus Urquhart's bachelor party.
 * The Flintstones
 * They may make a reference to The Flintstones in float dialogue; "I had to dress up like WILMA last night, fer Chrissakes."
 * Fourth Wall
 * After defeating the Enclave, they, the fluffers, and the Wright teenagers mention that the player should replay the game as a different kind of character.
 * Full Metal Jacket
 * If the Chosen One has no reputation, is a slaver, or with Sulik they will occasionally comment "Me so horny." This is an allusion to the hooker scene in Full Metal Jacket.
 * G.I. Jane
 * They solicit and call female characters "G.I. Jane", the codename of the combat medic of the G.I. Joe Team from the G.I. Joe franchise.
 * Love in an Elevator
 * They will greet the player and say "Oh, hello, Mr. Tyler. Going…down?". This references the music video for Aerosmith's 1989 song Love in an Elevator.
 * Micky Mouse
 * In their float dialogue, and that of the Cat's Paw girls, they refuse to wear Mikey Mouse ears.
 * Mike Tyson
 * If the Chosen One is a prizefighter, they and the porn actresses will remark, "Watch out for the Masticator. He's a real jerk. He tried to bite my ear off once.".
 * Shaft
 * The Corsican Brothers mention that "Shaft…he's one bad mutha --" and that they, the Reno townsfolk, and the Wright teenagers will similarly remark "That mutant one big mutha." These are an allusion to Shaft.

 * ''The Wizard of Oz
 * If the player character is wearing power armor, they may make this comment; "Look, Tin Man, if you want me to dress up as Dorothy or Toto, that's extra."


 * The prostitutes may mention Gen Con. In real life, Gen Con is a gaming convention.
