Thanks for helping me to keep my home. I sure couldn't have done it without you.— Widow Rooney

Widow Rooney is an elderly widow living in Redding in Fallout 2.

Background[edit]

A very thin elderly woman with warts and a very furry upper lip,[1] Widow Rooney herds Brahmin for a living. With droughts affecting her cattle, she has been unable to cover the $20 monthly rent for the shack she lives in and sooner or later will end up evicted by Sheriff Marion.

Quests[edit]

  • Evict the widow: Widow Rooney is an impoverished woman Sheriff Marion wants to be evicted. The Chosen One can assist in her eviction or pay her $120 back rent.

Effects of Player's Actions[edit]

If Rooney is evicted out into the cold, she casts a curse (while making a hand motion) which does nothing to the stats. However, only 1000 XP is granted instead of 1500 (if she is helped with her rent) and -25 Karma.
