Stiggs

Stiggs is a repairman specializing in robotics in 2277.

Background
A Wastelander by birth, the Enclave recruited Stiggs when he was malnourished, and brought him back to health from severe bouts of radiation poisoning. He was then put to work maintaining and creating the latest in flamethrower technologies for the Enclave; accomplishments he is troubled by. The Lone Wanderer may have let Stiggs leave during the Assault on Adams Air Force Base.

It is not known why the Enclave recruited him. It is entirely possible that under Colonel Augustus Autumn, the racial policies were repealed. It is equally possible they just use him because no one else at Adams Air Force Base has his knowledge of robots.

Quests

 * Who Dares Wins: Stiggs approaches the Lone Wanderer on the lower level of the mobile platform and asks if they are going to hurt him. If the Lone Wanderer lets him live, he can give the Lone Wanderer some information about the crawler.

Effects of player actions

 * If the Lone Wanderer lets him live, he escapes the crawler and travels to the Adams storage facility with his sentry bot, Sparky, and his Mister Gutsy, Hoover. After the completion of Who Dares Wins, all three are disabled and disappear from the game.
 * If the Lone Wanderer follows him to the Adams storage facility when he goes in, if the center turret is still active and goes hostile, he and the two robots with him become hostile to the Lone Wanderer also.
 * Stiggs and the two bots may vanish if the Lone Wanderer leaves the crawler before they've all left, and they may all "get stuck" on equipment in the Adams storage facility.

Other interactions

 * A dialogue option is open if the Lone Wanderer has the Robotics Expert perk, where the Lone Wanderer speculates what system the mainframe uses. He will compliment the Lone Wanderer as finally being someone who understands what he's talking about, and says the Lone Wanderer would be able to reprogram the robotic and turret systems inside the base so that they will target the Enclave instead of the Lone Wanderer.

Appearances
Stiggs appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.
