Tell me about Fallout

[Jaime Lannister]

Does the "tell me about" button in Fallout ever work? It seems like NPCs have enough info in their dialog trees, and when I ask, say, Tandi about Shady Sands, or Kane about Decker, I get a response like, "I don't know anything about that". I don't even think the Overseer knows about Vault 13, though I could be wrong.

Is this feature broken, unimplemented, or what?

Under implemented.I asked Iguana Bob about iguanas and he knew nothing. Retarded. Still, if you look up indiviual characters on the Vault you get a list of things you can ask them about.

I got a unique new voice acted dialog line with the village chief of Shady Sands on my last playthrough. I was just seeing if I'd get anything I think it was a question about his daughter, nothing interesting though (basically saying how she was great).

Thanks for the tip with the Vault.

I remember asking people in Shady Sands about rope. Didn't help.

You need to ask very obvious questions like "Hub".

I tried it out and it works, but it seems useless.

EX: Set says "ghouls are good, super mutants are bad" or something to that extent.

Even for flavor dialog, it sucks.
