frakle Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I dealt with the Family by unloading a good amount of lead into them. I think they enjoyed it, Karl especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelV Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Seriously? Killing and eating to survive? There is no "cannibal disease" they are only eating people out of a sick psychological problem not out of survival they will not die if they dont eat human meat or drink blood(in fact blood is proven to be indigestible) they are just sick minded people no different from Raider's blood lust. Kill, Kill, Kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill, Kill, Kill. yup. they're all psychopaths. Vance is a nut. Ian is a schitzy, so is the rest of Vance's little club. i say rip them apart with bullets! or bombs, or swords or whatever tickles yer fancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufusGear Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I know this is like 5 years old, but I felt it worth mentioning we know Ian has cannibal instincts because he ripped a thief's throat out and his sister had to keep him calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbbus Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) I just went in there with my evil character and killed them all before talking to Ian, you can deliver the letter and go back to King and finish the quest, but killing 6 people for no real reason other than not liking that they drink blood or possibly eat people "as you never see them do it" seems evil.. I don't really think the family did anything to Arefu I believe Ian did it but had been seen with Vance cuz he knew him, and when Ian went crazy and killed his parents and the cattle I think the Family got blamed for Ian's actions just cuz he knew them.. And the Family never actual did anything.. Sorry I pressed a button and it posted my unfinished Message, I don't what did it. The prof is in the Pudding as another user said, cuz you never see anyone from the family out in the waste they instead stay inside the rail way station unless you tell Vance to protect Arefu and he sends Justin to protect the town and they give him the Abandon Shack outside of town, my gripe with this quest is why you the Player can't choose to protect them and get the empty shack I'd love to be able to live there instead of Tenpenny or Megaton Edited November 1, 2016 by Dumbbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlCorey Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Thank you for necro-reviving this thread. I've struggled with this too and I've realized that only an evil PC would decide to kill Vance and his group. There's no indication that they've been anything but a somewhat minor nuisance and Ian was the only real issue ... and that is solved in the in-game story. And Lucy doesn't seem to even care after the fact anyway making the decision way more ambiguous than it was before.
