Wild Bill

Wild Bill is a dead slave found in the Pitt's steelyard in 2277.
==Background==
Wild Bill and Milly were extremely close friends, having worked together in the mill for some time.The Lone Wanderer: "Who's Wild Bill?"Milly: "Bill's a friend of mine, a very dear friend. We've worked the mill together for a long time. Last week we were forced to choose someone to gather ingots from the Steelyard. Bill volunteered. He didn't want anyone to have to die out there. But... he's a survivor. He can't be dead. You look like you can handle yourself. Could you look for him and bring him back?"(Milly’s dialogue) About a week before the Lone Wanderer’s arrival, the slaves were forced to choose someone to send to the steelyard to collect steel ingots. Wild Bill, considerably more skilled than the rest of the slaves and armed with his personal handgun, volunteered for the task, not wanting to see any of his friends die when he would at least have a fighting chance.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.103: "Wild Bill:A Pitt Slave who has impressive skill with a .32 Pistol, Bill volunteered for the job of Steel Ingot collector after the previous Pitt Slaves failed to return. He knew the odds of returning weren't favorable but couldn't see his friends die when he, at least, had a fighting chance." Although he managed to collect several ingots and warded off or eliminated several trogs with his handgun, the gunfire attracted the attention of wildmen operating in the area, who ultimately killed him before he was able to return to the mill. He managed to leave a note to Milly before the wildmen found him, apologizing to her and the others for not managing to complete the task.Note from Wild Bill
After Wild Bill’s disappearance, Milly became dedicated to finding out the whereabouts of her friend, though she cautions any volunteers to be careful, as Bill would have never forgiven himself if someone else got hurt while looking for him.The Lone Wanderer: "Yes, I'll help out."Milly: "Thank you so much. Just... be careful out there. Bill would never forgive himself if someone got hurt looking for him."(Milly’s dialogue) Upon being informed of his death, Milly is distraught at the news.The Lone Wanderer: "Bill's dead. I found his body in the Steelyard. I'm sorry, Milly."Milly: "He's dead? But he promised us he would come back... I... I have to let the others know. Thank you for your help. Here, take these stimpaks. They're all I have."(Milly’s dialogue)
==Relationship==
Wild Bill developed a keen relationship with a fellow slave Milly, as their time in the mill together was a sort of bonding experience.

==Bugs==
* Bill seems to disappear if Milly is killed during the riot. 
* Bill occasionally seems to disappear completely for no reason, possibly drifting through the wall or floor so he is no longer accessible. PC users can fix this by using the moveto player command, using Wild Bill's ref id. PS3 and Xbox players can also retrieve Wild Bill's Sidearm and other belongings by performing an out of map glitch to get to his body. Shown here on YouTube. 
* Depending on how Wild Bill's corpse falls through the wall/floor, you may still not be able to loot him even after using the out of map glitch. The quest should still be completable so long as his corpse is visible. If one can see him through the wall but are unable to loot him, try entering 3rd person, as this often makes him accessible. 
* Wild Bill might still not show up even after the map glitch, while one might find wildmen and trogs, Wild Bill is nowhere to be found. There is no known solution to this glitch, making obtaining his firearm and completing the quest impossible. 
* Even after locating Wild Bill and retrieving the note, no dialogue options may appear with Milly explaining what happened to Bill, thus rendering the quest unable to be completed.
