Fish Fred is an NPC in Sin Space Engineering. He can be found on the island that is directly behind the player when the mission starts. Fred is in a small cabin with the Fiberglass Fishing Rod, where he imparts wisdom upon the player regarding the virtues of fishing.
When Fred is killed he does not reappear unless the game's save data is erased or modified, even if you restart the mission.
Dialogue[]
- "What’s that, you want to get into fishing?"
- "Do you seriously have what it takes or do you just do whatever is trendy?"
- "When I started fishing everyone made fun of me. Now they have the audacity to ask for tips. Fuck them."
- "Well, you actually swam all the way here so maybe you're different."
- "Feel free to grab my old rod. I just ordered a new one from Fish&Fun. Should be a pretty good upgrade."
Trivia[]
- Whilst initially cold towards the Protagonist, he does appreciate the effort to swim to his home and accepts M.T. into his hobby.
- While he seems snobbish at first, his genuine mortality and his willingness to share his old fishing pole shows that he is a rather genuine, humble guy, if not reserved.
- His initial aggression was likely a projection from when he was bullied for his hobby.
- He does recognize in Foxtrot a fisherman yet, which echoes the description of the Tattered Fishing Hat.
- He could be considered one of M.T.'s few friends that can live to see the end of the world.
- His name echoes fellow videogame character "Freddi Fish" of the Freddi Fish franchise.
