Talk:Uncle Leo

Uncle Leo in Oblivion
Could Uncle Leo the friendly Super Mutant in Fallout 3 be a reference to Uncle Leo the friendly zombie in Oblivion?

Seinfeld Anyone?
isnt uncle leo also a reference to seinfeld's uncle leo
 * How about a reference to Fallout 1's Leo/Lou. Gotta take you to Lou. 71.109.172.89 05:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Can someone explain the Seinfeld reference please? (beyond there being a character with that name who is also an uncle) --70.142.41.253 06:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps because in Seinfeld the character was only known as "Uncle Leo"? I don't ever recall his name being used without the 'uncle' part. Can't you see the spitting resemblance? Seinfeld's Uncle Leo vs Fallout 3 super mutant model ～ Iridia   talk  | contrib 16:33, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see it more as a reference to the Oblivion expansion The Shivering Isles. There's is a zombie (for those who haven't played, zombies are usually hostile)who won't attack, and he has the title "Uncle Leo", quite like the unusually non-hostile super-mutant in this game. 65.93.162.125 19:13, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

he was forced to abandon the water he was carrying? Also, how often do you really find purified water in the wasteland? AND, he hurt his leg! Poor Leo, man. Brings a tear to my eye.
 * 40 hours of play/wandering the Wastelands and I haven't found him =/ Ploft 15:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * found him just now =D near Fort Constantine. Talking to him a second time didn't trigger the "second encounter", and my game isn't patched..Ploft 19:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * He hung around the Jury Area in my Game
 * Heck, I've been playing for 600 hours and I haven't found him.TheFrogger 22:39, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * 850 hours and I've met him once. He's obviously a bit shy. Wunengzi 20:53, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

It has been confirmed that this is a direct reference to uncle leo from seinfeld (if you watch seinfeld it shows how angry and powerful he gets, a clear reference to becoming a super mutant) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8SrdxHDC58 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8SrdxHDC58
 * It hasn't "been confirmed." There is nothing beyond the name itself to link these two characters, and that is not nearly enough to go on.--Gothemasticator 19:57, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Uncle Leo saved me!
I was at a low XP level and was in a stand up shoot out with a raider. we were both pretty low on health, and from out of nowhere, Leo appears and starts pummeling this raider. Allowed me to finish off the raider - it was freaking hilarious. He was just using his fists, so I don't know what provoked him.

On my first character, early in the game, I had finished the Fire Ant quest and was wandering around that area and came to the a big river with heavily armed super mutants on the other side shooting at me. Out of nowhere a friendly super mutant weilding a gatling laser came to my defense. It was Unlce Leo. Sadly I didn't survive the battle and he wasn't there when I respawned.

~D~

Dude, that's Fawkes. Uncle Leo doesn't have a weapon.

I saw UL in The Silver Lining Drive In
I think it should be known that he is not only in The Metro area, but also can be seen in the west..

Hulk style uncle lou rampage
i was literally being hunted by a squad of 5 regulators*i was running becuase my last weapon broke* at agathas house,after i crossed the bridge,uncle leo appears and punches the living daylights out of regulators,however he stood on the landmine i placed and killed me by accident --werewolfhell

Welp
The first time I encounter this guy over the span of like seven files - that's like 200 hours - and he's a corpse between some cars and a radioactive pool north of Smith Casey's Garage. I didn't even think that was an encounter location, the robot didn't seem to be his aggressor. PositronicSpleen 03:29, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Voice Crashes - bug?
When I encounter Leo, after a couple of dialog choices he has no sound- then about 20 seconds later my F3 locks up, requiring reboot. Anyone else getting this? Is it just my sound files are corrupted? If I shoot him on sight, there's no problem - except my game has no Uncle Leo.. (sobs). Kingmarco66 17:51, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Happens to me too. Which is a shame, I have to ignore him :(

This is a very common glitch,after this happends,wait a while and they'll talk,but their mouths will not move.

Interaction with Fawkes?
C'mon, they've gotta say something to each other... 68.192.9.90 13:18, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

That was always one thing that annoyed me... no one comments if Fawkes is brought to the Citadel? Really? Or if Charon follows you into Tenpenny Tower.. They [Bethesda] really need to fix that, certain followers should open dialogue options. 68.192.9.90 01:33, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * No one comments if you stack the stripped dead bodies of the guard detail on the Tenpenny Towers lobby desk, with Tenpenny himself as the cherry on top, and then go and sell Tenpenny's suit in one of the stores. There are a lot of, um, problem areas like that. Wunengzi 20:57, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Uncle Leo did say to me he was 'astounded' I was travelling with one of his 'brothers', referring to Fawkes obviously. He then went on with his cave story. 203.164.48.43 13:18, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Not Much
I havent had the privlage to run into Unlce Leo yet but if any body has any suggestions as to where and when they might have found him or any location details, thanks :)

I found him when I left the Yao Guai tunnels after collecting the bobblehead. Almost shot him, but saw the friendly marker in time. But he can appear anywhere, it seems to be random. 86.153.175.155 15:24, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Mod
I know this shouldn't go here but IDK where to put it. I feel really bad for Uncle Leo and I'm thinking that maybe a mod maker out there can make a little village of peaceful super mutants for him to lead. Not big, per-say, but a few to keep him company. JerichoRCDF 18:14, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * They did. It's called Jacobstown. Kinda out of the way for Uncle Leo though. But wouldn't it be fun if he ran into Tabitha and Rhonda some day? Wunengzi 21:01, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

or maybe bethesda could make a DLC where you can choose to start a quest for uncle leo. like you have to grab some DLC only supplies(cloth for tents, piles of wood for fire) for him to build a small camp where all non-aggresive super mutants are allowed...for good karma, that is...or you could give him nothing and attempt to kill him...of course killing him will make fawkes leave...but if you help with the camp, fawkes will now travel here when you fire him. anyone agree?

nah. xNOKIx 07:48, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Caps for info?
Can someone confirm the part where "Information about Super Mutants may be relayed to Elder Lyons for 100 caps each"? I don't recall any such thing, and I've seen Uncle Leo on several playthroughs, though I can't confirm that I ever spoke to him after being admitted to the Citadel.Deadlykris 19:27, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * You must be mistaken. You get 100 good karma points for telling Lyons about Vault 87. You need to start the Picking Up the Trail quest to go there. User:Riond55


 * I didn't add that statement, and knew nothing about it, which is why I asked about it here. I went ahead and removed that statement from the article since it doesn't seem to be founded in fact. Kris (talk) 16:17, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Brotherhood Not Hostile?
With Star Paladin Cross as a Follower, she initiated an attack on Uncle Leo from quite a long distance away. I followed her and didn't even see him until I got closer, and I hadn't attacked him because my weapon wasn't drawn until she opened fire.

Has this happened to anyone else, or is it just a glitch? The page states that the Brotherhood will not attack him, but that wasn't the case for me..
 * Followers generally ignore their own enemies if they're not also your enemies; case in point, taking Cross to Fort Independence is safe, but firing her there will cause her to kill the Outcasts there. Kris (talk) 14:06, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well actually,in the first encounter,Uncle Leo says he was running from some "bleeders" He's obviously reffering to the Brotherhood of Steel,because they Shoot first and ask questions later,Star Paladin Cross is partly a cydborg,because she used to guard your mother and father in Project Purity's early days,she was badly wounded and hurt by Super Mutants,(or so I've heard) So they must have programmed her to do certain stuff. I mean,she must have been dead,because when you do have her as a follower,you can't miss it,she sounds completley lifeless.
