Notes[]
- After completing "Wang Dang Atomic Tango," it is revealed that he has a particular sexual interest in robots. It is also suspected that the "escorts" the Courier hires are not for a wealthy customer but actually for him.
- If Francine and everyone else in the Wrangler is killed and James is not, attempting to talk to him will result in him talking in a drunken slur, and the player will not be able to engage speech with him again.
- If the player goes behind the counter both Garrets will go after the courier but never attack, just warning the courier to go away.
- Occasionally, one of the Garrets (typically James) will not be behind the counter, and may be in the locked upstairs section of the Wrangler. This seems to be intentional, as there is always at least one Garret behind the counter at any given time.
Bugs[]
- After completing the unmarked quest which upgrades the stills, he should be supplied with two new beverages. However, they will not appear. A fix (tested on latest patch) is talking to James Garret and asking "How's Business" which sometimes, at random, triggers him mentioning Jacob Hoff being sober as well as the addition of absinthe and a unique beverage known as Rum & Nuka. Every time this dialogue is triggered, he restocks more absinthe and/or Rum & Nuka to his supply instantly. The "instant restock" exploit will not restock these two beverages.
Appearances[]
James Garret appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
