Hey i was just wondering if its a bug or something, ive killed both the families and the children are just running around. sometimes going in to ol man harris' house. but it is locked and needs a key, any idea where to get one? Cheers
Yea you'ew free to enter the old man's house when you first find the town but then if you kill the adults it will be locked. What's up with that? 68.205.81.87 22:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Railway rifle Bug[]
"Your console may also need to be replaced, just from the affect of this bug. "
Surely this isnt needed or needs a reference. Futhermore it does not not say why it needs to be replaced. If it is because a RRoD is caused then, anyone body should know that an RRoD is a general Hardware failure error and that it could be caused by an number of things.

Speech check percentage[]
I removed the following from the article "only has a 57% chance of working (with speech 100)" because I got 75%. I do not have cannibalism. There might be other factors at play. --Voidvector 07:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- With more investigation, there are two speech checks, my character get 75% on the one about "snacks" and 100% on the one about "everyone does what they have to".--Voidvector 07:34, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Spoiler edit[]
WTF? So lists of loot and tricks don't spoil, but a movie quote does? Why on earth would anyone come to a wiki article if they were worried about spoilers?--DoubleGrande 20:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Trivia edit[]
I removed the entry about "if the smith's son sees you killing his parents with the ripper, he may say 'can I try?'" because children (outside little lamplight, haven't tried it there) will just say "cool, can I try?" as a normal response to you firing your weapon with no enemies around. It's not in any way specific to this circumstance.
Helpful for Lamplight subquest[]
this is by far, the best place to find strange meat. you can then take it to little lamplight and use it to fertilize cave fungus.--ASL93ratjar 22:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Johnson family[]
In the geck you can find another family, Karen and Tuck Johnson living in Andale. They have some lines of dialogue and AI but they don't appear in the game. Perhaps the andale story was oiginally intended to be a real quest(just entering the shack is not much a quest). But I can't see how they could fit in the story.Croquignol 08:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Jenny Wilson conversation?[]
The first time I arrived to Andale the kids were outside. I could talk with Junior Smith but Jenny would only say things like "I'm not supposed to talk with strangers". But then after pressing the A button several times (360) I managed to start a conversation with her. She said something along the lines of "Do you like being evil?" and then several options for conversation appeared. I could ask her about how she felt about her town and stuff, and when she responded only text displayed but there was no voice, neither were her lips moving. I reloaded a previous save thinking the lack of voice was a bug but now I can't start a conversation with her at all. Anyone has any info on this?
I don't know on the 360 but on the PC version she has many lines of dialogue. She is not even supposed to say "I'm not supposed to speak with strangers". Perhaps it is a bug. You can speak to her about her father, weather, Junior Smith and some general topics.Croquignol 09:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Mr. Hargrave[]
It's mentioned on both the Hargraves' page but I'll mention it here anyway. After finding the shed or basement in Andale, if you succeed in the speech check (or cannibal check) that mentions grabbing a snack then Jack Smith will mention people always giving him a hard time about being eaten. One of the examples he gives is "Please no, I have a kid in Rivet City!". It seems Mr. Hargrave, father of James and husband of Tammy in Rivet City, stumbled upon Andale and was eaten. -Perogi
Lamplighters[]
If you resurrect the three Wastelanders in the Smith's Basement and talk to them. They respond with script from Little Lamplight.
"Gosh your big."
"Mungo, mungo, smells like dung-o!"
"Stay away mungo, I don't want to catch old from you!"
"Thanks for getting Penny and Squirrel back. And Sammy too, I guess."
Personally, I think there should be a quest where you learn to make strange meat from these good folk. And to be efficient, kill them and turn them into your first supply of strange meat.--Ripvanwinkle111 02:23, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- To think that they would have actually taken the time to assign the corpses to a faction. 68.60.229.1 10:10, 15 August 2009

Old man[]
on ps3, noticed that after you resolve peacefully, the old mans door will be locked, but not need a key (difficulty easy), when you go in and talk to him, he will just say stuff like 'run away while you can'. Would of been cool, if after peacefully resolving, they asked what gave you the idea to go down there, and you blamed him (as peaceful is only possible if he tells you about it) and they went and killed him after/drug him to the shed, instead of just hinting that they would --r3in 198.53.213.34 07:29, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
Loot[]
Does strange meat count as notable loot? I mean its one of the rare places where you can get a lot of it. It's not that useful to eat it, but you can swap it for that cave fungus, its better than wasting Buffout, which can be quite useful. Setimir92 00:36, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Rippers?[]
Exactly How many Rippers can be looted from andale, I found two or three in the shed, I just wanted to know If their were any more scattered around and roughly where they are

Finished without starting?[]
i had just discovered Andale and there were 2 women and 2 men outside a house, the men had their guns drawn, i went up to talk to them and they said something about me going into the basement, WTF? i havn't even gone into any of the houses!
- Perhaps you went into the shed? Other than that, the only problem I can think of is that the same (or a similar) glitch that auto-completes a quest for you (as it has for me when doing "You Gotta Shot 'Em in the Head") applied to this. P.S. In the future, try to sign your notes. --Benjamin Malin 05:11, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Happened to me 2 minutes ago. I just walked in Andale and residents were outside waiting for me just as if I had gone into the basement. I am on PC Version patched with 1.7 and all add-ons installed and completed except Broken Steel. Last year (2008) I completed Andale quest normally, with no patches or addons. Strange. --Hacker?pcs
Untitled[]
Sorry, I should have come here first, but is it a bug? If you let the families continue on, it makes sense he might lock up his house out of fear of you or them.Occono 21:04, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
The Andale residents' severed limbs appear to multiply upon entering and exiting the Smith house.
inbreeding[]
wouldn't certain mutations evolve (six fingers) evolve after generations of inbreeding?
The way mutations work is that certain genes, that can happen to any one, are more likely to appear more than once. So if a Mr. Smith had something small wrong with him then both his children may have it. Then when the (ew) inbreeding happens that that same gene may come back but stronger. There is no guarantee of anything happening at all. They are just more likely.

- that really depends on the circumstances, but in fiction the negative effects of inbreeding are massively exaggerated. Especially with cousins, a man having a child with his cousin is unlikely to produce any abhorrent mutations within a single generation. And it depends on how big the genetic pool is. We dont know the complete geneology of andale, but i am going to assume they had to abduct some people into their ranks at a few points because of the lackof gender diversity. ralok 19:26, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Inbreeding effects are exaggerated in horror films, however there are very real mutations common among some inbred communities. The primary one being syndactyly (webbed toes or fingers), it is suffered by many inbred african and pakastani families and is a common side effect in inbred mice, rats, and cattle. However it's important to note that not everyone with webbed fingers or toes are products of inbreeding. Mictlantecuhtli 20:12, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
Grognak the Barbarian[]
There is no Grognak comic in this location on the 360 that I can find. Unless it has glitched and fallen into the table in question. Mictlantecuhtli 19:21, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
I can confirm. There is a Grognak in the basement.

360 Difference[]
On the 360 the door to Harris' house is not key locked if you pass the "snack" speech check, it is a "easy" lock. However he will not say anything but a one liner about the wanderer getting out of town before it's too late until such a time as the parents have been killed.

Reference[]
Is it just me or does a post-apocalyptic group of white-bread cannibals seem really similar to a certain white-bread cannibal family in the post-apocalyptic movie Six String Samurai? 12.106.179.2
- Its not as blatant if it is a reference as say, New Vegas Samurai so I don't think it should be added. 67.142.164.25 10:52, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
Pronunciation[]
When I first discovered this town, I honestly thought it was pronounced "ON-duh-lay", like Speedy Gonzoles' catchphrase, instead of "ANN-dale", like they say in the game. Even after that discovery, I still pronounced it "ON-duh-lay". Am I the only one who made this mistake? --Omny87 05:08, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
Parents Movie[]
Might be a bit of a stretch, but may be a reference to the movie Parents.
It's been a while since I last went to Andale, so I can't cite anything off-hand. Alister Poe 11:20, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
Smith Basement[]
When revived, the bodies in the basement act like Little Lamplighters. They keep calling me mungo and one thanked me for returning Penny and the other one.65.175.176.184 15:44, August 12, 2012 (UTC)
Enclave Fighting Enclave?[]
I have Broken Steel installed and, like the article says, a Brotherhood Outcast patrol spawned at the entrance to the town. I scouted ahead to see where the battle between the Outcasts and the Enclave would take place, found it, and camped out in a nearby trailed with my sniper zoomed in on the Enclave. Before the Outcasts got there, I saw plasma bolts from the nearby ramp (where there's a diner), and it turns out the three Enclave Soldiers (who I confirmed where Enclave Soldiers after running up to check what the hell had just happened) had just been killed by other Enclave members. Is this just a bug with their factions, or is this a scripted event? If the latter, why?Foxi Hooves (talk) 12:27, July 18, 2013 (UTC)
Another Bug[]
Sometimes when leaving the shed or house in Andale with a basement or shed key, you will receive a "You've lost Karma" or "Sneak Attack Critical on xxxx" (with xxxx as a placeholder for what you supposedly killed) which in my case has always been a 'Scavenger's Dog'... yet I haven't attacked anything recently. I'm on Xbox 360 version, Game Of The Year edition with all the DLC loaded. Can anyone else verify this bug? Mikalhvi (talk) 06:46, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
Cannibals do not know how to hang a clock on a wall[]
Look at all the watches in the houses. They are all turned upside down. This phenomenon only in Andale?)--ExplorerSmaily (talk) 17:35, October 20, 2017 (UTC)
- It has been noted at Bobbi's place as being upside down. Might be something they do as a bit of an easter egg for us? Sakaratte - Talk to the catmin 17:49, October 20, 2017 (UTC)
- Hmmm… interesting. --ExplorerSmaily (talk) 18:29, October 20, 2017 (UTC)
- The clock is incorrect in the Arlington House (1), the Smith's house (2), Old Man Harris' house (2), the Wilson's house (2), Gillian house (1) and Benson house (1). Correctly the watch is hung only in the clubhouse (1), Arlington House (1), the Wilson's house (1), Zane house (1), Gillian house (1) and Benson house (1). There are 15 in total.--ExplorerSmaily (talk) 20:36, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
