What do I do about the vault dwellers who want to leave?

  • 1 of 7: They say they want to leave the vault.
  • 2 of 7: But what is the real issue?
  • 3 of 7: They don't want to die waiting for a Water Chip and they think they can do better on their own.
  • 4 of 7: They also tell you when they have their rebel meetings.
  • 5 of 7: Like in many other places in the game, there are several options here.
  • 6 of 7: If you have high enough Speech skill and/or Charisma, you may be able to talk their leader, Theresa, out of rebelling.
  • 7 of 7: If you prefer a more violent way to stop them, go to one of their meetings and kill them all.
