==Background==
As the Lone Wanderer can learn from various people in Rivet City, Mister Lopez is a suicidal resident, who is trying to end his life every single day. The Lone Wanderer can find him on the flight deck at the top of the bridge tower every day from 8:00 - 12:00 and 15:00 - 17:00, contemplating suicide.
==Walkthrough==
The player can:
* Help him to commit suicide by pushing him off the deck (the player will receive negative Karma).
* Talk him into committing suicide by saying he's pathetic (also negative Karma).
* Use Speech to convince him that Ted Strayer needs someone to give him guidance and that Lopez is the one to provide it to (the player will receive positive karma).
* Push him off manually to his death (no Karma change).
* Shoot him with a weak weapon (when there is no guard around, mentioned below), so that he runs off the edge by accident trying to get away (also no Karma change).
* Any of the options involving talking to Mister Lopez as opposed to brute force or a planned "accident" require a Speech skill of 50 to convince him to either live or die.
==Reward==
* Negative or positive Karma
==Notes==
* If the player's Speech is not high enough, they will receive a note about Lopez's situation and will be able to come back to him later when their Speech skill is high enough.
* The player cannot start a conversation with Lopez if there is a guard standing on the opposite side of the flight deck, instead he will ask the player to leave him alone. Although sometimes on the Xbox 360 and PS3 version, the player can talk to him even if there is a guard on the opposite side.
* If the player stands next to Mr. Lopez instead of behind him, and chooses the option to "help" him, he will fall like a ragdoll to the ground. The player can kill him by a simple push. This also results into negative Karma.
* If the player decides to push him, and jumps backwards away from the ledge, or simply stands between Mr. Lopez and the drop, he will flail about like normal, but land on the platform instead of falling off.
* If the player decides to kill Ted Strayer in the quest You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head or for any other reason, the positive Karma speech option will not be available.
* The player can also convince him to jump, and then talk to him quickly so it stalls him long enough to mezz him and enslave him. Thus keeping him alive, and giving the player negative Karma for both actions.
* The player can push Mister Lopez then, if they are quick enough, grab him to keep him from falling.
* If the player decides to talk him out of suicide, he can later on be found talking to Ted Strayer about teaching him how to read.
