Davin

Davin is Grisham's son in Modoc , and a potential party member. The player can have the Chosen One marry Davin regardless of gender.
==Background==
A handsome young man in his twenties, Grisham's onlyGrisham: "{601}{}{Well, if it isn't }""{1601}{}{. How's the married life treating you? I see my son Davin isn't traveling with you. I sure do miss him. Maybe the next time you visit you can bring him along. It sure would make an old man happy if he could see his only son again.}"(McGrisha.msg) son looks very much like his fatherDavin's character description: "{100}{}{A handsome young man.}""{101}{}{You see Davin.}""{102}{}{A young man in his twenties. He looks a lot like Grisham.}"(Davin's dialogue) (though not to the demented Cornelius),Cornelius: "{213}{}{Davin is a nice kid. I wonder why he doesn’t look anything like his father?}"(Cornelius' dialogue) and prepares himself to inherit the business once his father "kicks off" in his own terms. Until then, he's the slaughterhouse supervisor,The Chosen One: "{159}{}{What do you do at the slaughterhouse?}"Davin: "{180}{}{Well, I uh… I mean, I… I supervise and take care of stuff. I’m the owner’s son after all. I’m going to inherit this place when my dad kicks off.}"(Davin's dialogue) well known to the others.The Chosen One: "{232}{}{What can you tell me about the slaughterhouse?}"Jo: "{237}{}{The slaughterhouse is run by Grisham and his son Davin. It’s just east of here. He makes the best damn jerky this side of the Rockies.}"(Jo's dialogue)
He gets on well with his father, but is aware that Grisham likes to hit two birds with one stone and advises anyone getting into business with him to look out for any unforeseen elements of his deals.The Chosen One: "{161}{}{Tell me about your dad.}"Davin: "{184}{}{Dad runs the slaughterhouse. He’s OK as far as fathers go. A word of advice if you do any business with him. There’s usually more to his business deals than he lets on.}"(Davin's dialogue) He is no layabout either: Grisham taught him how to skin brahmin and had him prepare leather, making him skilled with a knife, and on one occasion he even had to put down one with a crowbar for his dad. He doesn't like firearms: The one time his dad tried to teach him to shoot straight, he got scared and almost shot his dad down.Davin: "{1010}{}{I used to skin the brahmin at the slaughterhouse, so I'm pretty handy with the knife. Also dad had me beat a brahmin to death with a crowbar once. I guess I could use a club if I need to. Uhhh, oh yeah, dad took me to shoot a pistol once, but I got scared and almost shot him by accident.}"(Davin's dialogue)
Davin is rumored around town to engage in bestiality with the brahmin. Davin admits to going to the barn at night, but only to make sure it's locked up, what with all the wild animals around.The Chosen One: "{160}{}{I hear rumors about you and the brahmin.}"Davin: "{182}{}{It’s a lie. I only go out to the barn at night to a… make sure everything is locked up. You know, with all the wild animals around and all.}"(Davin's dialogue)
==Interactions with player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Companion===
====Marriage====
* Davin can be romanced by Chosen Ones of either gender, as long as they have a Charisma of 8 (lowered to 7 with a good town reputation). Davin will immediately fall for a female Chosen One; a male Chosen will cause him to react with surprise, but will promise "not to say anything if [they] don't," then offer to be the "caboose" (slang term for a receptive partner in anal sex). 
** This is the only situation in the game where it will explicitly rate the player character's performance in bed, depending on their Endurance:
*** EN ≥ 8: "[Two hours later: The earth moved, and this bed will never be the same.]"
*** EN = 7: "One hour later, and the best orgasm you’ve ever had.]"
*** EN ≥ 4: "[Half an hour later, you lie there exhausted.]"
*** EN ≥ 2: "[Fifteen minutes and a couple grunts later.]}"
*** EN = 1: "[You made it as far as removing your shirt before you no longer felt the need.]"
* Immediately after having sex, Grisham will enter the room and realize what's going on. Unless the player decides to play the situation off as a "medical examination" (which Grisham appears to be ready to believe without a Speech check), the only other option is a shotgun wedding. This plays a cutscene where Jo marries the Chosen One to Davin, with a disappointed Miria in the background. 
* Due to the way the script works, every item in the Chosen One's inventory is dumped on the ground. Collecting them has to be done by hand, so if planning to marry either of Grisham's children, it's advisable to store items in a container first.
* Running away from Grisham when he barges in will turn all of Modoc hostile.
====Performance====
* Davin comes with a free tool and two stimpaks once he's in the party. Marrying him denies access to the guard the brahmin quest from Grisham or selling Bess (since it changes dad's script), and Davin is added to the party irrespective of the party limit. However, he takes a spot and unless separated will prevent collecting other characters.
* Davin has no skills or high statistics whatsoever, and a small Hit Point pool. He cannot level up and is generally a hindrance in combat. Unlike Miria, he has animation frames for throwing (for grenades and flares), clubs and pistols, as well as knives, and Strength of four rather than three. It only means he can miss with a broader array of weapons.
* Davin cannot be dismissed once in the party. This makes any infiltration of Navarro or the oil rig impossible, as they can only be undertaken if the player has no active companions.
====Divorce====
The only way to remove Davin from the party is to permanently divorce him, which can occur in three ways:
# Death: If Davin dies, he'll be considered divorced. Death can occur in many ways, from combat, through traps, to removing his brain at the Sierra Army Depot.
# Slavery: Davin can be sold to the following characters:
## Metzger (The Den) will pay ~$900 (determined by Barter; even with official patches the script is bugged and the amount of money is increased the lower the player character's skill is). 
## Big Jesus (New Reno) will pay $200 ($400 with a Barter check, can only be tried once), if the player talked to Little Jesus about slavery or asks Big Jesus about his health or Richard Wright, and say they have more questions.
##Barkus (Vault City) will pay $200 ($400 with a successful Barter check), due to him looking "relatively free from Outworlder contamination."The Chosen One: "{153}{}{Are you looking to buy any slave...er, servants...right now?}"Barkus: "{227}{}{Perhaps. Do you have some you wish to sell?}"The Chosen One: "{228}{}{Yes, I have one right here with me. Take a look and make me an offer.}""{229}{}{Yes, I have a few right here with me. Take a look and make me an offer.}"Barkus: "{233}{}{Hmmm. that boy there, Davin, is it? He look relatively free from Outworlder contamination. I will buy him from you for $250.}"(Vcbarkus.msg) 
# Divorce: Father Tully in New Reno can peacefully divorce the player from Davin.
Once out of the party, Davin is considered separated. Returning to Modoc and telling Grisham what happened will kill the butcher on the spot, through a heart attack.
===Other interactions===
* If the player encounters a trapper in a random encounter and does not have enough money to buy a pelt (or just give all of their money to a party mamber), they can agree to a trade: Five minutes with Davin in return for one regular and one golden gecko pelt. Unlike Miria, Davin is no worse for the wear after the encounter.Trapper: "{119}{}{Seems you're short on cash. How bout give'n me 5 minutes with yer man. You know what I mean. I can give you pelts in trade.}"The Chosen One: "{121}{}{Sure.}"Fallout 2 message: "{123}{}{[Miria will forgive you...eventually. But on the positive side, the trapper gave you some pelts.]}"(Trappers' dialogue) In fact, he seems to enjoy the experience.Davin: "{152}{}{I don’t believe you pimped me.}""{153}{}{Let’s try a threesome next time.}""{154}{}{Ooo… he’s a cutie.}"Fallout 2 message: "{124}{}{[Davin seems no worse for wear after the experience.]}"(McDavin.msg)
* Davin can be rented out as a fluffer at the Golden Globes, for $3 per session.Corsican Brothers: "{640}{}{Yer spouse, huh? Hmmmmm. Awright. Have yer life partner head to the back, start spit-shining the shafts. Here's the pay: 3 chips.}"The Chosen One: "{641}{}{Do as the man says, Davin-honey. Do } {5641}{}{ proud.}"(Corsican Brothers' dialogue) While the game notes that "True love triumphs once again. Your spouse looks deathly ill, but at least you're 3 chips richer!," Davin suffers no adverse effects.
;Reactions
* Leslie Anne Bishop will remark on Davin, when discussing the happiness in her marriage.The Chosen One: "{286}{}{It sounds as if your marriage life isn't as healthy as it could be.}"Leslie Anne Bishop: "{295}{}{(She throws an amused glance at your spouse.) And yours is? (She frowns again.) }"(Leslie Anne Bishop's dialogue)
* Having sex at the Cat's Paw will cause Davin to sob and feel cheated, but has no permanent effect on dialogue.Miria: "{730}{}{*sob sob sob*}""{731}{}{I feel so... so cheated...}"(Miss Kitty's dialogue) However, Davin can also be set up at Cat's Paw, but has no unique reactions beyond the generic comments.The Chosen One: "{248}{}{I'd like to hook up my friend here with a little something special.}"The Chosen One: "{249}{}{I'd like to hook up one of my friends here. It's their…uh, birthday.}"Miss Kitty: "{395}{}{Of course. (Scans your companions.) Which one?}"The Chosen One: "{404}{}{Davin here could use…a lot…more experience.}"(NcKitty.msg) 
* Unlike Miria, Davin will draw no comments from generic Reno characters.
==Inventory==
==Appearances==
Davin appears only and is mentioned in the Fallout Bible.
==Behind the scenes==
Although it is a minor feature of the game with very limited use, the ability to pimp the Chosen One's spouse was used as a selling point on the game's box: "Fall in love, get married, and then pimp your spouse for a little extra chump-change. Hey, it's a dark and dangerous world."
==Bugs==
* Having intercourse with him is known to bug out the game, as existing party members are frozen in place to prevent them from interfering with the cutscene. The unpatched script does not correctly restore their ability to move if the player convinces Grisham it was just a medical examination or runs away. This can only be fixed by getting married, triggering the Vic/Val conversation, or watching either the Vault 13 or the Brotherhood outpost video sequences with Frank Horrigan.
* Killing any character related to the cutscene will permanently lock up the game.
* After hitting him in his room, he'll be treated as a companion. However, it lasts until the end of the turn.
