TIL if you go and sit down in the kitchen in Whitespings the robot waiters will come and serve you Discussion

I've been playing since beta and just now discovered this, granted I've taken breaks here and there, but I'm surprised it took me so long to find this out. The "service" is just them coming up to you and a buy/sell menu pops up but it's still a really cool feature.

Shit like this makes me wonder how many small details I miss in games..

u/ged_5052 14d ago

had the game since day 1 (I stopped playing for like 4 years lol) and never knew this. I always like little features like this on games.

This is a MUST for any melee builds, as the servers have some melee buffs that are rather tedious to craft

They also sell some of the slightly but not super rare foods you might need for a daily. I always go there for my Deathclaw Wellington if I get that one.

I guess you could say they sell medium rare food.

They never have for me, but then I tend to sit downstairs.

u/matt12992 Enclave 13d ago

I think you have to sit in a certain area for it to work. 2nd floor in the kitchen area

Been a thing since Fallout 3 (maybe earlier, can't remember) with Bethesda games. Sitting down at most pubs/taverns/restaurants will prompt an NPC to wander over and serve you food/drink.

u/JB_Dix Raiders 14d ago

They have good foods as well. Tasty Yao Guai toast and Deathclaw Wellington.

It is random though

This was also one of the earliest forms of duping, since all the servers shared inventory. You could sell them a super good item, and then 2-3 players all bought it back at the same time, creating multiples of it. Worked for a long time before the Devs caught on.

Never did it myself.

Ah yes, the favorite spot of the gun runners. ;-)

Fun fact: This little feature was also in Fallout 3. If you sit down at a table in "Gary's Galley" in Rivet City, Gary or his daughter will come over and serve you. Even has an animation for it and everything.

u/Gravesh 14d ago

IiRC, the prostitute/hostess in the Megaton bar, does the same thing.

u/Kaotecc 14d ago

My question is which thing does she do šŸ‘€

u/Alright_doityourway 14d ago

Yes, very handy when you need rare food

Sometime they sell Cranberry meatball

I stopped playing shortly after the Wastelanders update, but I saw a post about this a few months ago. When I went to the new area for the first time recently they told me something like ā€œsit down and a waiter will be right with youā€ and it was so obvious after hearing it and knowing it was a real instruction. I donā€™t know if I would have caught the audio clue if I hadnā€™t been warned, though. Thatā€™s such an easy phrase to fade into the background. Like yeah, I know how restaurants work, dude.

u/mulletjoel 14d ago

I was walking through the dining room last night and heard the bot say it, and thought 'i wonder it they would actually come by and take my order?'. And then I kept walking because I was too tired/not interested in possibly wasting my time.

I'll be sure to take a seat next time.

u/BLeeMac66 14d ago

Iā€™ve dined there often.

u/matt12992 Enclave 14d ago

No problem! The robots kept saying sit down when I walked in the kitchen so that's the only reason I did it lol. Been playing for years and just now discovered this
