“I may look like a corpse, but I'm partial to living!”
Harland is a Ghoul working with the Bright Brotherhood at the REPCONN Test Site in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[edit]
Harland was separated from the rest of the Bright Brotherhood while fleeing from Nightkin in the basement. He and another member of the Bright Brotherhood were running away, but his friend ran off to a deeper part of the basement. When the Courier finds Harland, he is set up in a defensive position on the second floor of the room and has already killed several nightkin. He states that he has lived off radroach meat, used the condensation off the pipes for water, and "does his business" in the far corner. He refuses to leave until his friend's whereabouts are confirmed.

Notes[edit]
- Harland states he joined the Bright Brotherhood for the "ghoulettes."
- If the player tries to approach by going up the stairs, he will turn hostile as soon as one makes it up the stairs.
- As the ghouls are leaving, if the Courier snuck into the upstairs of his chamber and did not kill him Harland will remain hostile, though because he is in a sealed chamber and can't get to or see the Courier, won't attack.
- If Harland survives, he can be seen with the other Bright Brotherhood members at the rocket launch pad preparing to embark on the Great Journey. However, he will not line up to listen to Jason Bright's speech along with the other Bright Brotherhood members.
- If the player does not meet with Jason Bright's group and encounters Harland instead, his dialogue will change and reflect it.
Quotes[edit]
- "First off, I'm not trapped. This was a tactical choice, all right?"
- "I don't have to tell you that Bright's group has got some fine-looking ghoulettes in it! Eh... or maybe I would have to tell you."
- "I may look like a corpse, but I'm partial to living!"
Appearances[edit]
Harland appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs[edit]
Unlike other members of the Bright Brotherhood, and in fact most Ghouls in general, Harland is not associated with the Ghoul faction. This means that he will be attacked by any Feral Ghouls he encounters, including any that have been left alive in the REPCONN building.
This is fixed in version 1 of YUP.
- After Harland is killed, his voice can still be heard when the player activates the intercom.
- If you enter the basement area before meeting Jason Bright, Harland will not offer you a dialogue option to search for his friend. Seeing Davison first, killing all the Nightkin or any other sequence of events does not fix this. To prevent this bug, you need to speak with Jason Bright before meeting Harland.
- If you do not talk to Harland and accept his quest before clearing out the Nightkin, he may later appear in the launch pad area - not wearing a Space Suit, and will show up as a hostile.
- This is fixed in version 1 of YUP.
- Harland is meant to line up and listen to Jason Bright's speech on the rocket launch pad along with the rest of the Bright Brotherhood members, but due to an error in the order of his AI packages he will not, instead wandering for the duration of the speech.
- This is fixed in version 1 of YUP.
- After completing his quest, talking to Davison and doing his task will turn Harland hostile.
