Quests

• Help Bess the Brahmin: Bess broke her leg. With a Doctor skill above 25% the Chosen One can help fix it. After that, she'll follow them around Modoc until they leave town or go underground.

Notes

• Bess will attack any enemies she sees, like a normal companion, providing (very marginal) help in protecting Grisham's brahmin and clearing Farrel's garden.
• Bess will disappear forever if the Chosen One goes down into the well or Modoc caves.
• Bess can be delivered to Grisham, who offers to slaughter her for meat jerky. One can agree to it, but loses five Karma in doing so. After approximately one week, 100 jerkies can be collected from the smokehouse.

Bess appears only in Fallout 2.
