LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Getting to the Boomers was aggravating, lol! But their chain of s hort quests was kinda fun to do. In terms of meeting Caesar...I assume Boone wiping Cottontown off the map means I can still take the ferry to get to Caesar, right? Boone won't kill the ferry service dude or something? “Things are as they are.

WorstUsernameEver Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Boone will attack absolutely everyone at the Fort. Unless you're okay with that, it's better to just at least tell him to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I'm fine with Boone wiping Legion. I only care if it'll break the game by not letting me talk to Caesar when I have to, or whatever. “Things are as they are.

Tale Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 You can manually activate the ferry. But you still need to leave him behind after you get the mark or you'll be attacked by everyone, including Caesar. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Ok then, how about this....what I mean is, I read there's stuff to do with House in the space beneath the Fort...does killing Caesar break this in any way? Or do they give you other options, like I'm hoping & that they have in other things. I don't know if that part is integral to the main plot, hence my slight worry. (p.s. in case it's not obvious I'm going the House/NCR route...not the YesMan or other route) Edited November 6, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I'm level 19 or 20, I forget. Boone pretty much wipes everything to the floor now, toe to toe or ranged, but of course sometimes enemies get repeated lucky crits on him. Myself...8Luck, 95Guns, +Boone's hat +Finesse & other perks +Sniper rifle +booster drugs and even w/my slow reflexes I'm not terrible. Besides, as hard as the worst baddies can hit in Very Hard, I don't think another 30 or 60 hit points is going to make too much difference. “Things are as they are.

CoM_Solaufein Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 So far I've sided with Mr. House. I heard there's a job to do that means killing the BoS. Is there a way around to convince him not to kill them? I really don't like the idea of betraying the trust of them after helping them out.

LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 No, I think there's no way around it.... I'm having 'moral' dilemma because I've been siding with the NCR for a long time but I have the feeling its' going to come down to House vs. everyone else. Haven't given the chip to House yet, can't decide. All I know is I don't want YesMan this time. “Things are as they are.

sorophx Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I think, somebody here mentioned that if you are on very good terms with the BOS and have high speech, it is possible to resolve the situation peacefully, don't take my word for a fact though Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way around to convince him not to kill them? I really don't like the idea of betraying the trust of them after helping them out. I sided with the NCR, who have a similar mission. I talked to the BoS leader and informed him of their plans to eradicate them. He responded by sending me back to the NCR with an offer of an alliance - so I think you can diplomatically solve it, no matter which faction you choose (except Legion perhaps, they seem pretty hell bend on killing everyone).

Starwars Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I haven't done any of the BoS missions yet but some people mention that there must be a particular leader in place at the BoS for the deal with NCR to work out peacefully.

LadyCrimson Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) lol, don't you love new games where half the info are still 'maybes?' I'd heard that the original elder had to still be in place for that to work. I guess only one way to find out for sure what works in your game. I'm a bit confused tho...I've decided I want to stick with NCR because of Boone-roleplaying, but I have no NCR quest that seems related to the chip at all. The Ambassador sent his messenger when I arrived, but his quests don't seem very related...am I on the right path? Edited November 6, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Starwars Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yes LadyCrimson, following that questline (that starts with the messenger) is the way to the NCR storyline.

LadyCrimson Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Ok, thank you! Rex is adorable. I like him much better than EDE. Can't recruit Arcade right now but he seems nice enough on intro. Pleasant voice tone. Might try him for a few minutes if I can make myself send Boone back to his dinosaur. “Things are as they are.

Tale Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 what if you help the other guy, that Paladin, become Elder? The only way to not destroy the BoS are: 1) Go Yes Man. 2) Go NCR and do all the quests except Hardin's. I'm uncertain of Caesar's status. He may not even know about them.

HoonDing Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 So, if you go with Yes Man but don't activate the robots in the Fort, is it possible to still remain allied with the NCR instead of kicking them all out? Since my character had helped the NCR the entire game and was idolized by them, I was hoping for kind of a "status-quo" ending where my character maintains the NV treaty.
