Well, I don't think I am evil. I Killed House and cleared Cottenwood Cave, so I think I am good on Karma's side.

You'd be wrong there

Meh I like the NCR, seems to have the best ending for the greatest number of people. Even though the yes man ending could be considered the most "fair", I think its kinda harsh for the NCR to win the battle at hoover damn and get nothing.

If you take the yesman ending the ncr don't win, you slaughter them and the legion at hoover damn

They do get the dam though, either way. Personally, I like the idea of my dude being the richest bloke in the Mojave Wasteland, and it'd also be interesting to see if that has any effects when playing the add-on.

The addon (if you mean dead money) doesn't take place after the end of the game.

In that case it makes it even more unfair.

Why? the NCR came to the mojave to put it under control in a rather fascist and beaurocratic way, why do they deserve to get anything?

They deserve to get something because next to the legion, they're the closest thing to good guys. The Brotherhood of Steel just want to hog all the best toys, the bastards.

I had a hard time choosing the side to root for. Me or the NCR. The NCR isn't that great, especially not after they kicked out the followers.

Why cant you be the good guy? or mr house?

*shrug* I dunno. Somehow I'm a "paladin" yet I go around thieving all the time.. apparently killing ghouls is good for the spirit.

In true Fallout 1 style, there isn't a super-great ending for everybody involved.

Any help guys, im having a major problem with the quest "GI blues". Im at the bit where theres the standoff between the NCR and the kings. I dont want to kill the NCR and loose rep. The problem is every time I try to approach they start shooting and YES I HAVE HOLSTERED AND UNEQUIPPED MY WEAPON!!! Any help?

Has the king told you to go diffuse the situation? if not you can only solve it violently.

Got it today for my birthday.
Just got into Primm. Pretty good so far, if a bit slow progressing.

How where you meant to get the king to do this?

I thought it was mandatory to kill them.

*shrug*

The NCR has become corupt and bloated on it's success from fallout 2.

Independant is the way to go.

Did you reveal to him that pacer is causing tensions between them and the ncr?

It dosent matter, the NCR died but I still remained "Idolized" by them and still have good karma.

To finish that quest peacefully, you have to do the optional portions of it. It involves finding out where the NCR members are in Freeside, and then going and talking to them about the problems with The Kings. When you tell The King about it, he's shocked and tells you to try and negotiate with the NCR. That allows you to initiate a conversation and resolve everything peacefully (as well as improve life overall in Freeside).

I have noticed on some of the quests you have to be really careful not to have the violent endings happen. You have to spend a lot of time investigating to find the other routes available and most of the time the other routes start in different locations then the quest.

Fascist? I would say they are rather American in every way.

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

Damn, I really thought he was a kinda serial murdered. Yeah, sometimes I get some crazt ideas about a Fallout game.

He's House's right hand man with him out of the picture he's not needed. Worse when house is gone I don't think you can even cash in snow globes.

Coming into land and declaring it to be yours despite people already living there and giving them little or no rights? Thats pretty fasci... oh gak thats what you guys actually did!

Quick question guys, I have boone as a companion (and have done his quest) and I want him to be with me for the final battle at hoover dam. But I also want to do Arcade Gannons quest to get remnants power armour. So my question is: Can I send boone back to the lucky 38, recruit arcade and do his quest, then send arcade to the lucky 38 and then re-recruit boone?

Yeah but you can only have one companion with you for the final battle.

yes

Be careful if you're on Hardcore mode. Your companions can die in their travels, especially if they're unescorted. I think they're invincible once they get far enough away from you, but they are vulnerable for quite a while after you dismiss them.

For saftey's sake, dismiss your companions from inside New Vegas.
