Talk:Android

Who are the robots ?
Nobody except Harkness is revealed to be an android in-game and there's numerous reasons for other 3 people to CARRY android part with them. I plan to remove information about 4 androids from this article if I don't hear objections. Rowaasr13 15:32, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Just remembered, that, of course, Armitage is android too. Only two other are not confirmed. Rowaasr13 15:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The mercenary working for Moira and posted in her shop may be one. His voice has a strange metallic echo that others, including Moira's, haven't ( to say it's not an environmental effect from my soundcard ), and people in Megaton have random conversation where they find the guy strange 'cause he seems to never come out to eat or sleep. I haven't found direct evidence of him being a synthetic human tough, so won't post it in the main page. Orme 22:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * With more hours of play, it appears that all neutral male mercs have the same metallic voice. Either a great percentage of the population is composed of Synthetics like in « Armitage III » ;), or the same voice acting was recycled. Orme 20:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Killing the merc gives no android part, and the glint is due to the light directly in front of him. Moira has the same glint when facing that direction.

There seems to be evidence, at least in my copy of the game (360), that Pinkerton is an Android. After watching him him for quite some time, it's pretty obvious that he has the "light" in his eyes that both Harkness and Armitage have. That coupled with the Android Component on his corpse in the PC version seem to suggest that he very well could be an Android. Sam Herrington
 * The Android Component is likely due to him having worked on Harkness...--131.58.64.194 07:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)JS

Red glint in their eyes ?
Where is it confirmed that Androids have a red glint in their eyes??


 * I watched Harkness' eyes -closely -over the course of 5 solid minutes and didn't see a thing.


 * Can anybody else confirm the 'Android's eyes flash red' thing?? Thanos777 20:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That glint occurs in everyone depending on the light sources around them. I think it's in fact due to 'bUseEyeEnvMapping=1 in fallout.ini that causes the eyes lightning and reflectiveness to be managed independently of the face, and GameBryo being rather heavy-handed with mirror-like effects.

 * The reflection in the eyes seems like a direct reference to Blade Runner to me. See the Blade Runner FAQ: http://brmovie.com/FAQs/BR_FAQ_Eyes.htm

Zimmer
According to the GECK editor, Zimmer is also part of the group "DeathItemAndroid" (which means he will drop an android component when killed). Obviously this doesn't authoritative prove he is an android in terms of the plot. --Voidvector 09:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

It makes since that he would carry a component, since he builds, or at least deals with, Androids, doesn't it? Sam Herrington

If he were human, it would make sense for him to carry one in his normal inventory. The fact that it was assigned as a Death Item suggests he was intended to be an android at some point. 68.127.144.211 03:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)Anonymous

Victoria
So, apparently there is some kind of argument regarding Victoria Watts' status as an android. On her page it says the following as proof: "If you somehow view Victoria Watts' full inventory (after she has died), you will see that she has at least one Android Component even after she gives one to the Lone Wanderer. Some argue that this indicates that she is an android herself, although the presence of an additional component simply could be due to her involvement in the Railroad. However, in the Fallout 3 guide[citation needed] it states that she is indeed an android. Also, Victoria is a android based on the fact that during her dialogue with you after accepting the corresponding quest she refers to other androids as brethren. Lastly, her eyes do glimmer without a light source to reflect from."

Thoughts? --Surr3al 04:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I just deleted that whole paragraph. See this for my reasons. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 05:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's cool. Just trying to put this to rest. --Surr3al 01:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Page locked?
Why's the page locked? I could't remove that idiotic sentence about teir eyes glowing. After checking Harkness' eyes for a good while in a lot of angles and using other NPCs as well as my PC as references, I've come to the irrefutable conclusion that his eyes are the exact same as anyone else's in the game. Peolpe who see another "glint" or "light source" in there that no other character has are just hallucinating 'cause they want to see it so badly. There any way to unlock the page and delete this stupid rumor?96.23.247.63 22:07, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I removed the sentence and unlocked the page. I really don't think that it needed to be locked at all... Nitty Tok. 22:17, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox?
Should this page also have a creature infobox?--Ant2242 (talk) 02:58, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
