Confidence Man Confidence Man is a side quest in " Fallout 4 " , where the Sole Survivor helps the Diamond City Radio host Travis Miles gain confidence . Detailed walkthrough . To start this quest , speak with Travis Miles at the Diamond City Radio station in Diamond City . After talking to Travis , the player will have to wait until an NPC , such as a Diamond City security officer speaks in passing about Vadim Bobrov looking for someone to help him regarding Travis at the Dugout Inn before the quest will trigger . It is also possible to start the quest by simply entering the inn for the first time , and overhearing Vadim telling a story to a man named Hawthorne . After this conversation , the quest will trigger by leaving and re - entering the bar then talking to Vadim . Vadim will ask what you think of Diamond City Radio ' s host , Travis . Regardless of the chosen response , the conversation ends with Vadim stating that Travis could use some confidence to improve his radio show , then asking the Sole Survivor if they want to help . When agreeing , Vadim can be pushed to offer caps through three speech checks of increasing difficulty and amount . Whether successfully persuaded or not , Vadim reveals he is going to stage a bar fight that night and requests that the player return after 6pm to assist Travis in the fight . Once at the bar , Travis will be seen making his way inside towards the bar counter where he is confronted by Gouger and Bull , two raiders Vadim hired for his staged fight . They begin to verbally harass Travis , who meekly replies , thus initiating the plan . At this point , the Sole Survivor can use Charisma to convince Travis to fight . One must help Travis fend off the two assailants using melee attacks to beat them into submission ( using ranged weapons will turn all of the inn occupants hostile and Diamond City security will arrive ) . After the fight , speak with Travis , who is thrilled by what took place . Once he starts to leave , speak with Vadim . If any speech checks were passed , Vadim will give the promised amount of caps as he thanks the Sole Survivor . His next plan is to hook Travis up with his bar waitress Scarlett , further wanting to ensure he successfully becomes confident . Find and speak with Scarlett in Diamond City , convincing her to meet and talk with Travis . Scarlett can be convinced that Travis does like her , or she can be paid to hook up with him . Once she agrees , return to the Dugout Inn . Upon returning , Yefim Bobrov will inform the player that Vadim has been kidnapped by Gouger and Bull for not giving in to their demands of owed bottle caps for the services provided . He pleads for help , but doesn ' t know where they took Vadim , saying he needs to stay and that Travis should be spoken to . Go to Travis ' radio headquarters and explain to him about what happened to Vadim . In the conversation , Travis will say that Vadim is probably at Beantown Brewery and requests to go with the Sole Survivor and assist . Meet Travis outside of Beantown Brewery and speak with him before heading inside . The building is held down by a raider gang that needs to be eliminated in order to get to the room in which Vadim is being held and guarded by Tower Tom , the gang leader ( unless he was defeated on a prior visit to the brewery ) . Once he and all surrounding members are dead , Travis and the Sole Survivor can enter to untie and free Vadim . Speak with him and then Travis , who now has a new outlook on life with all that ' s happened to him . With this change , he thanks the Sole Survivor , returning to his radio station with newfound confidence .
