I went swimming in the Colorado by Cotton Cove. I headed upstream until I found a landing that wasn't shear rock on the Arizona side of the river. There was a path heading up into the mountain and my radar went off right away. Then a bunch of Deathclaws came running down the hill towards me. I ran back into the river and they headed back up the hill. I came out of the river, shot at them a bit and then ran into the river again. I repeated this over and over until I killed 3-4 and I could start to walk up the hill on my own. Up at the top it opens into a rocky plain with deathclaws roaming around. It doesn't lead anywhere and there are no locations to discover over here.

I thought it was interesting they would have this open space on the Arizona side of the river when everywhere else it is blocked by mountains.

There's a suit of enclave style power armor up there, as well as some deathclaw eggs.

I didn't want to give to give the Omertas Chlorine Gas so they could use it to take over The Strip but I had to to finish the game. You gotta do what you gotta do....mainly because Obsidian's scripting sucks, but still.

There are many ways to complete that quest when its working correctly but if you do certain things out of order it can get pretty messed up.

Thats very true. You can sometimes also double quest. I did the quest Mr.House gives you to protect President Kimball then later in the game I got the quest again from the NCR general at Hoover Damn and I couldn't complete the NCR quest.

I had similar problem. Basically i was halfway into a free and independant New Vegas then switched to NCR. This game needed some more time in the oven.

Just some more extensive playtesting... A couple dozen more tests run on the game's quests and aspects would've been good for it. Rather than repeating some of the errors of Fallout 3.

Anyways beyond bugs a friend of mine described it as "They reached for something grand and missed" and I would have to agree.
For example, The first I did when get to vegas was take out House in hopes of gaining his empire. With Yes Man in tow everything seemed on track. I then had to me the various factions and tell Yes Man "I would like to ignore them". I've got a giant army of robots with missile Launchers and literally all I can do is tell meet various groups and tell them "I would like to ignore them". Wow. If you're going to give me that fake option then don't even have that story path.

THe bugs are pretty annoying, just today i was doing the "Still in the dark" quest for the BoS. I didnt even get the option to help the head paladin take over as elder...... However I discovered that if you help the other guy you get better rewards, reputation and the BoS ally with the NCR.

If the other guy Hardin takes over you cannot ally with the NCR.

Just wondering which ending is the best/most rewarding/enjoyable in Dakka's opinion? I'd be interested to know considering I haven't finished the game yet, though whilst helping Yes Man is rather tempting, I've heard bad things about going down that road.

Victor was just a programme that was run on whatever securitron that mr house needs it to be run on, at several points "victor" turns back into a normal securitron as he moves away and several securitrons become victor when appropriate.

ah, so I can still come across him on occasion? I think I can answer my question, and say no, because I killed house after all.

Meh, I found him 'funny' in a bad way, anyway.

Depends on the type of person you are, are you evil?
