You either fight me or I'm gonna tell everybody what a spineless little baby you are. Bare fists, right here.

Hoss is a large, muscled man spending his days in Dusty's Cantina in 2241.

Background[]

Hoss, described as a big, dumb-looking and over-muscled lunk,[1] is the son of President Tandi and a real pain for the local bartender Dusty.[2]

Interactions with the player character[]

Interactions overview[]

Interactions
38 Paradigm of Humanity

Effects of player's actions[]

If the Chosen One gets Hoss to back down, Dusty will provide them with drinks on the house. Tandi will also be impressed and state that she may have a job for them.[3]

Other interactions[]

The Chosen One can either ignore him (-5 Karma) or accept his challenge, where, upon landing the first successful hit, Hoss' spirit breaks and he yields faster than one could think. Pulling a gun on him also freaks him out, and will not draw attention from the police.

Notes[]

Hoss can be spoken to outside of his proximity, where he will not initiate combat and attack. However, should he be approached doing this, he will be hostile.
