Template:Character
Harden Simms, Lucas Simms's son, is a good friend of Maggie and is usually seen near Maggie in the mid-morning to late afternoon. He is very distant and will not say more than a couple of words to the player unless his father was dead after the Megaton bomb's deactivation.
Notes
- If the player kills Lucas Simms and dons his clothing (Sheriff's Duster + Sheriff's Hat), Harden may say, "You might wear his badge but you're not my dad" when the player passes.
- If Lucas Simms is nearby, Harden will say "Hey mister, you better not try anything, my dad is over there." Following this exchange, the player can enter conversation mode with Harden instead of receiving the usual subtitled comments.
- Due to current legislation preventing player characters from killing children in video games, V.A.T.S. will not target Harden or Maggie.
- If Lucas Simms was killed during or before The Power of the Atom and the player chose to disarm the bomb, Harden will reward you with a home in Megaton and any caps you requested at the beginning of the quest.
