Hahaha! A robot speaking with an old English idiom? Is that the only instance so far? Because that almost certainly has to be a Hammerite reference.:laff:

These robots usually don't speak in Old English, although they are a parody of stereotypical British butler, so the line doesn't sound inappropriate. And, yes, it's probably a deliberate reference. Fallout series has always been known for abundance of references to all kinds of books, films, games, etc.

According to the Making Of dvd, the mr. Handy's are supposed to be "less like C3PO and more like Basil Fawlty" ;).

Rats?!

Local variant of minor vermin is called "radroach" and is a kind of, well, cockroach. I don't remember any "must have been radroaches" lines, though.
The only rats in Fallout 3 are called "molerats", they are the size of a large dog, and actually kind of cute when they aren't trying to kill you. There is one quest connected to them, and the (harmlessly) mad scientist who gives it to you is called Moira, but I guess that's a legitimate coincidence (doesn't look like she's ever had a husband).

So I have been talking to Mr Handy's the entire time, not realizing I was talking to the modern Hammerite.

One of the combat responses by the mr. Handy robots (the ones voiced by Stephen) really made me chuckle: (
