Fallout new vegas message for Veronica. Partners in Fallout New Vegas and their quests

IN Fallout New Vegas you can take 8 characters as partners, but only two can travel with you at the same time: one robot and one humanoid. Each partner gives a certain special skill for the duration of his presence in the squad.

The player can give assistants his weapons and armor. When issuing faction armor to companions, you need to be careful because... they may refuse to wear it and throw the armor on the ground.
The player's assistants are immortal except in hardcore mode; in normal mode, instead of dying, they simply lose consciousness and come to life at the end of the battle (with the exception of story deaths). An assistant who has become unnecessary can be sent home at any time (to where he was originally) or to the presidential suite of the Lucky 38 casino.

There is an unpleasant bug in the game - assistants can get lost, i.e. will take a place in the detachment, but in fact they will not be with you, nor at the place of their permanent “registration”. This risks the fact that you will not be able to fire an assistant who has become a phantom and take another one in his place. If this happens, the easiest way is to reload the old save.

Robot ED-E
Can be found in Prima, in Nash's house. To take a robot into the squad, you need to repair it. This can be done either by using skills ("repair=65″ or "science=55″ + "repair=30″) or using spare parts (3 pieces of scrap metal, 2 sensor modules, 1 piece of electronic junk). Armed with laser weapons. While in a squad, it works as a kind of radar, recognizing and marking targets at a considerable distance around. Can carry things.

The quest can be obtained by talking to the owner of the Gibson Landfill. After 9 game days, you need to come to the Helios 1 power plant and in a conversation with one of the Followers of the Apocalypse, ask about Archimedes. After 2 game days, talk to the ED-E robot. In the conversation, you will receive an offer from the Brotherhood of Steel and the Followers of the Apocalypse. If you bring the robot to the Brotherhood, it will improve its armor, if to the Followers, it will improve its weapons. You will have to leave the robot for the duration of the upgrade and after a couple of days pick it up in Prima, where it was originally.
Also, instead of the landfill and power plant, you can visit the doctor in Jacobstown and the Brotherhood of Steel.

Robopog Rex
Located in Freeside near the King. When she is present in the squad, things lying around should be highlighted when inspecting the area through a scope, binoculars or camera. Can carry things.

Initially, the dog belongs to the King, the leader of a group of the same name located in Freeside, whose members pretend to be Elvis Presley. The king can be found on the first floor next to the stage (day) or on the third in his room (at night). After starting to complete the King's task and making friends with him, you learn that Rex is faulty and Dr. Henry from Jacobstown can help him. Take your dog to the doctor. He will recommend a brain transplant. You can buy a brain in one of these places:
1. At the "Gibson's Scrap Yard";
2. In the "Devils" camp near shelter 3;
3. In the "Fort" (in the main camp of the Legion, where Caesar is located).
You can install one of the brains to choose from. The first will increase the damage the dog inflicts on enemies, the second will increase its speed, and the third will increase its armor.

Raoul
Ghoul repairman. Locked in jail for mount black. He will go with you if you free him. Gives the player a reduction in weapon and armor wear as a bonus.

With Raul you need to visit three places on the map and talk to three old men:
1. Ranger Andy in Novak;
2. Corporal Sterling at the tent camp at McCarran Airport (or Camp last hope depending on progress in the game);
3. You also need to talk to the old man in the hangar in Nellis (who gives the task of raising the sunken B-29).
Each time you visit one of the specified places, Raoul will talk to the player and tell the next part of the story about his past life. As a result, you will have a choice - either he will become a more effective fighter, or he will improve his ability to further reduce the wear and tear of your things.

Veronica
Scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel. Stands at the "188th trading post". He will go with you without additional preliminary tasks. Melee weapon specialist. Carry with him a portable mobile workbench (on which he can make various items, and also reload cartridges).

To get the quest you need to visit different places with her three times. This is the McCarran base (Veronica spoke in the scientists’ room in the airport building, where the quest “Do not grow grass” is taken) and twice the Van Graf store in Freeside. As a result, Veronica will want to return to the Brotherhood bunker. In the bunker, you need to approach Elder McNamara and listen to his conversation with Veronica. The elder needs proof that the Brotherhood is dying. Evidence may include one of:
1. Pistol "Euclidean Algorithm" (can be bought from children chasing rats in Freeside). However, if you have already distributed energy at the Helios 1 power plant, ignoring Archimedes, then this path will be closed to you.
2. Data from the computer in "Vault 22" (which you are also asked to get from the quest "Do not grow grass"). If you have already completed the quest "Do not grow grass", this item does not apply.
3. Pulse pistol from the weapons room in Vault 34. Having taken one of these items, you need to return to the elder.

Boone
Sniper, on duty at night in Novak, inside the dinosaur statue. To join, you must first complete the task of finding the “killer” of his wife. His special skill is that when inspecting the area through the sight, enemy targets should be highlighted.

To accept his task (finding out details about what happened in Bitter Springs), you need to score five prestige points. This can be done by intensively fighting with the legion (it is not necessary to do everything from the list):
1. In Camp McCarran it is required to “interrogate with passion” the prisoner of war Silus;
2. Kill the legionnaire commander on your first visit to Nipton;
3. Rescuing hostages in Nelson;
4. Rescuing prisoners from Nipton, taken to the Legion's camp;
5. Completing the spy quest with clearing the monorail in Camp McCarran.
If there is progress in the relationship, Boone will talk to you every time. He will eventually suggest visiting Bitter Springs. Come there, listen to the details, stay the night, deal with the legionnaires and get new armor for Boone.

Lily
Crazy super mutant. Able to move stealthily. Gives a bonus to the player in the form of a 200% increased duration of the stealth battle device. The weapon preference is standard for a super mutant - melee weapons (sledgehammers, etc.) or two-handed firearms/energy weapons. By default she is armed with a sword and a machine gun with a silencer. You can find Lily in Jacobstown.

In Jacobstown, talk to Dr. Henry. He will offer to visit the local cave and find out why the night hunters there (a mixture of a cat and a snake) suddenly became invisible. He will offer to take Lily as an assistant. Visit the cave and remove the chewed stealth boy from the Nightkin’s corpse. Take it to the doctor. It turns out that the animals became invisible because they were eaten by stealth fighters. Follow the experiment to test the Stealth Boy Mk.II on Lily. Settle disputes with the nightkins who also wanted to “participate” in the experiment (with eloquence skill = 80, you can persuade or simply interrupt). At the end of the showdown, with a science skill of 90, you can additionally give Dr. Henry smart advice regarding the direction of his research.
As many have noticed, Lily flies into a rage. After this happens for the first time, you need to talk to her. She will tell you that this happens when she forgets to take her medicine.
After some time, after the conversation, Lily will turn on an audio recording of her chatting with her grandchildren. Talk to her about this. At the end of the dialogue, you can advise her three things:
1) Take the medicine every other time.
2) Do not skip taking medications (i.e. maintain the dosage).
3) Take the medicine 2 times more often.
Depending on your choice, Lily will receive one of three new abilities.

Arcade Gannon (Arcade)
Former enclave member. Now he works in Freeside, in the old Mormon fort for the Disciples of the Apocalypse. Secretly dreams of reviving the Enclave. Doesn't like Legion and won't go with a player who has a good relationship with him. Armed with a plasma pistol. While in a squad, increases the effectiveness of treatment.

During his quest, he will offer to bring together the five remaining members of the Enclave. To start the quest you need to be loyal to the Followers of the Apocalypse, not be friends with the Legion and visit several memorable places (each time Arcade must speak to you):
1. Repconn headquarters (the conversation will take place after communicating with the robot guide, if your intelligence is at least 6);
2. Camp McCarran (after talking with Dr. Hildern);
3. Rotorcraft crash site;
4. Van Graff's store in Freeside;
5. Legion Fort (when Arcade arrives there, he will immediately ask what you forgot here - answer with a phrase like “let’s find out what Caesar is up to, and then we’ll quickly leave”). In addition, significant progress in passing the main course is required. storyline games (the quests “For the Republic”, “Joker: place your bets”) must be completed. Having received the quest, you should visit 5 former enclave members and persuade them to “kick back the old days” at the end of the game. This:
1. Dr. Henry from Jacobstown (his quest should be completed by now);
2. Cannibal Johnson from the cave of the same name;
3. Judah Krieger of the West Side;
4. Orion Moreno from the location of the same name;
5. Daisy Whitman is a rotorcraft pilot from Novak. If you convince everyone, you will receive the password to the "Bunker of the Remainers" (everyone will give their part of the password). Having arrived there, talk to them at the briefing and decide which side the enclave members should support - the NKR or the Legion (if you choose the first, Orion Moreno will leave the bunker, however, with a speech skill = 80, he can be persuaded to stay, if the second, Cannibal Johnson will leave and persuade him will not work). This place can also teach you how to wear power armor. As you leave the bunker, Arcade will ask you whether he should participate in the final battle or go his own way. If you choose the second option, you will receive the Tesla armor that belonged to Arcade's father.

Cass
Drunk lady cowboy from a bar in the Mojave outpost. Handles machine guns, rifles (including energy ones) and shotguns well. To join the squad, you will first need to complete her quest (go to the Crimson Caravan, and then return and persuade Cass to sell them her bankrupt company).

Cass wants revenge on those who destroyed her caravan. Talk to her and go to the place where the caravan died. During the mission you will visit three different caravan attack sites. In the end, you will find out that the Crimson Caravan and the Van Counts are behind all this. Cass will offer to clear these locations, but the issue can be resolved peacefully. To do this you need to get evidence. One of them is in the safe in the Crimson Caravan office, the other is in the safe in the Van Graf store in Freeside. Having obtained the evidence, give it to the head of the Mojave Outpost in the NKR, who will promise to deal with those responsible in the future. By the way, you can take the task from the Van Grafs to find and bring Cass to their store, where she will be spanked.

In Fallout: New Vegas you can take two companions to help you (1 mechanical and 1 living). If they agree to join, you will receive a unique .

So choose partners based on the benefits for your build and playstyle.

In total, there are 8 characters available for hire in the game, I suggest you familiarize yourself with their location and recruiting conditions. I will also look at some of the quests that your companions can give, how to solve them, and possible rewards for completing them.

ED-I (ED-E)

ED-I is a robot designed for reconnaissance and combat operations. It is a flying mechanical ball with a laser gun. When attacking, a cheerful patriotic march plays.

It is located in Primm, in the Mojave Express Couriers building, although in a broken state. To get ED-I as a companion, you will have to repair it. There are several options available for this:

• Repair required equal to 65
• Requires a repair skill of 35 if you have a science skill of 55
• Repair with scrap materials (all of them can be found at the gas station in Novak, opposite the motel)

There is a rather confusing quest associated with ED-I, which is not clear how to complete. So I'm showing my cards.

Quest ED-E My Love

We learn from the quest log that we need to go to the Gibson Scrap Yard in Novak. And, in fact, nothing more. Arriving at the place and talking with the old woman about the nearby Helios One power plant, ED-I activates one of the messages recorded in it.

To complete this quest you will have to activate all these messages in this way. To do this, he will need to hear other keywords, here is a list of them:

• Air Force Base
• Archimedes
• Eden
• Enclave
• Navarro

All these words can be heard by talking with Arcade Gannon in the Mormon Fort, which is also one of the possible companions of our hero, and going to Nellis AFB.

They are also located in these places, so we kill two birds with one stone.

Several in-game days (from 2 to 9) must pass between the activation of messages. After completing this quest, the ED-I upgrade will become available.

If he unites with the Brotherhood of Steel, he will receive new armor, and if with the Followers of the Apocalypse, then he will receive new weapons. I recommend choosing the second if it does not conflict with your roleplaying.

Attention: empty his inventory before giving him away for an upgrade, because he will return to you with completely empty pockets.

Rex

The second robotic companion is a cyborg dog. Located in Freeside at the headquarters of the Kings faction.

Attacks enemies at close range, biting and knocking them over onto their shoulder blades. To get him as a companion you will have to complete the main quest of the Kings. After this, a task will become available, the purpose of which will be to find a new brain for Rex.

After completing the quest you will receive him as your companion. Depending on which brain you get, Rex will receive different bonuses. Here is their list:

• You can get the brain of one of her dogs from Granny Gibson at the Novak landfill by buying it or talking her through giving it away. Rex will receive a bonus to damage.
• To the west of New Vegas there is the Violetta trailer park, there you will find a pack of dogs, I think it’s clear what to do next. Rex will receive a bonus to movement speed.
• At the Legion Fort, talk to Anthony about Lupa. As a result, you will find yourself 1 on 1 with an angry dog. Rex will receive a bonus to armor.

Arcade Gannon

It is located in Freeside at the Mormon Fort. To recruit him, you need an eloquence score of 75, Confirmed Bachelor or high level reputation with the Followers of the Apocalypse.

He will also join you out of pity if the character's intelligence level is low enough. The guy is very useful thanks to his perk, with which you will receive 20% more health from healing drugs and food.

Shoots from energy weapons, although in battle it is not very useful without good equipment.

Advice: equip him with heavy armor as soon as possible. It’s useful to a fault, the main thing is to equip it to the fullest.

It will be possible to sell him into slavery to Caesar as a personal doctor.

Cass

Found in the Mojave Outpost bar in the southwest. To get her as a partner you will have to work for the Crimson Caravan Company.

Dress her in heavy armor, give her a shotgun, and enemies will fly away from her in the form of cutlets with enviable regularity.

Especially if you complete her quest through combat, which will give you +15% to the damage dealt. Peaceful solution problems will increase her health level by 50.

Craig Boone

One of the snipers who sits in the mouth of a huge dinosaur in Novak in night shift. To recruit, you need to complete a quest to find the one who killed his wife.

If you do it correctly, that is, hand over the real culprit, then you can persuade him to travel with you. Legion representatives will be hostile regardless of your reputation with them if Boone is with you.

After completing his quest, he will change into an NCR uniform, this won't do much good, but he will look much cooler. In general, one of the most useful comrades in terms of combat suitability.

It blows enemies to pieces from afar even with a basic weapon, and if you give them a more impressive gun, it will turn out the lights. Just a must have.

Lily

Super Mutant Lily can be found in Jacobstown. To recur, you need to complete the quest “Guess Who I Saw Today” and make sure that Lily remains alive after Dr. Henry’s tests.

Takes out packs of enemies in close combat, and also enters berserk mode when health is low, which increases her striking power even more. This level of health can be controlled by asking her to take her medications on time.

B, unfortunately, is useless, as it will die very quickly.

Best Answer: After traveling with Veronica for a long enough period of time, she will tell you that she must return to the Hidden Valley bunker to tell the Brotherhood how to save itself.
Upon returning to the bunker, Veronica will speak to the Elder in charge of the bunker, claiming that the Brotherhood must change before it dies out. The Elder rebuffs her, and Veronica vows to bring a piece of technology that will make him change his mind. She goes and locates a terminal she and her mentor, Father Elijah, had used to store data. Veronica then gives the player a choice of technology to locate: either the Helios One Station, a pulse gun developed before the war, or a new farming technology.

If the player has activated Helios One without using the Archimedes II weapon system, you can tell Veronica that Helios One is not a weapon, reducing your choices to the pulse gun or the farming tech.

If the player chooses the farming technology the quest is the same as There Stands the Grass.

Should the player choose the pulse gun, Veronica and the player will go and look for it at Nellis Air Force Base, where the player must evade the Boomers" artillery barrage if they have not already done so. Once inside, the player will have to sort through a filing cabinet owned by the Boomer leader. Inside the filing cabinet is a note indicating that the pulse gun has been moved to Vault 34, which must then be searched. The gun is located in the highly irradiated vault armory, among a host of other loot Alternatively, the player can purchase the. pulse gun at Silver Rush, avoiding the need to search the other locations. Once the gun has been obtained, Veronica and the player will return to the Hidden Valley bunker to meet once more with the Elder. He will still refuse to change, citing the codex. Veronica will ask the player what to do, at which point the player can suggest remaining with the Brotherhood, leaving the Brotherhood, or express apathy at Veronica's situation.

Should the player recommend staying with the Brotherhood or have her choose on her own, Veronica will agree. Upon leaving the bunker, a group of Paladins will approach you. If you have 95+ Speech, you may convince them to give Veronica another chance. Also, if you have the perk Terrifying Presence, you can make them cower in fear by threatening them and the Codex, making the possible fight far easier. Since they will not move, you can even return later with a higher Speech skill and re-initiate conversation (note that it takes some time and perhaps an area transition for them to stop "fleeing"). If you can survive the onslaught you can get some nice Brotherhood loot. Either way, this will end the quest and she will obtain the perk, Bonds of Steel which increases the defense of her armor. Your Reputation with the Brotherhood doesn't change.

If the player suggests leaving, Veronica will express a desire to join the Followers of the Apocalypse. The player and Veronica will then leave the bunker, where they will be accosted and warned by a group of Brotherhood Paladins. Once Veronica and the player travel to the Followers outpost, they will be informed that they cannot be allowed into the organization until the leader of the outpost returns the next day. After waiting a day, the player and Veronica can return to the outpost to find all of the Followers dead and a group of Brotherhood Paladins waiting in ambush. After a battle with the Paladins, Veronica expresses regret for the deaths she has caused and vows to travel only with the Courier for the remainder of the game. She also gets "Causeless Rebel" perk, which boosts her unarmed attack rate. This doesn't change your standing with the Brotherhood but Veronica won't follow you into the Bunker any more.

Notes Edit
This quest is actually triggered by Veronica's dialogue. There are ten triggered conversations throughout the Mojave Wasteland that Veronica will initiate in response to ten different situations she and the Courier may encounter together. Completing three of the conversations will activate this quest.

When you first meet Veronica, don't be rude about the Brotherhood of Steel.

To start the quest, you need to have 3 out of 9 unique conversations with Veronica at certain locations or after speaking with certain people for the first time.

Speaking with Tom Anderson"s in Westside about his affiliation with the Followers and hearing him confess to murder during the White Wash will make Veronica pipe up about the Brotherhood"s lack of a good cause.

Just outside Vault 3, Veronica talks about how the Fiends are giving the NCR hell.

Going to either Nelson or Cottonwood Cove makes her comment on how the Brotherhood is not on the Legion's radar.

At the Camp McCarran Terminal building, standing near the main or eastern set of double doors makes her comment on the number of NCR troops in the area.

Also in Camp McCarran Terminal building, the first time you meet Dr. Hildern and he says, "A pleasure to meet you!" Veronica talks about the NCR investing in new research.

At Nellis Air Force Base, listening to the tour at the Boomers museum makes her comment on the Boomers" and Brotherhood"s aggressiveness.

In Old Mormon Fort, Julie Farkas's line, "Are you here to drop off medical supplies? ..." The phrase happens only the first time you meet her and Veronica admits she admires the Followers.

Before the end of Come Fly with Me, Jason Bright's line, "We wish to escape the barbarity of the wasteland..." when questioned about the "Great Journey" reminds Veronica of Father Elijah.

At the Silver Rush, meeting Gloria Van Graff for the first time and saying you"re just browsing makes Veronica discuss energy weapons.

The only triggers that are available at any time are the Nellis museum, the Nelson/Cottonwood Cove, the Vault 3, and the McCarran door.

I used Nelson, McCarran doors, and Dr.Hildern.

Approaching Hidden Valley is easy if you have a Powder Ganger disguise. Veronica will get you inside the actual bunker which is on the west edge of the fence area composing Hidden Vally.

Meet the Elder and follower Veronica's instructions to a terminal in a shack in Helios One. Accessing the terminal makes her give suggestions for tech to retrieve.

To get the Pulse Gun, you need to have 100 lockpick or steal a key from a cabinet in Pearl's barracks and then get the gun from Vault 34.

The rangerfinder is owned by a little boy in Westside who is usually near the east gate. To work, you need to have completed That Lucky Old Sun by sending power to ARCHIMEDES II laser system.

The agriculture data is from the server room of Vault. Refer to my There Stands the Grass quest vid if you need some visuals of Vault 22.

With one of the items, return to the Elder just to see Veronica be disappointed.

The quest gets tricky here since you have to push for her to leave or stay with the Brotherhood.

Staying with the Brotherhood gives her the Bonds of Steel perk which increases her DT by 4. Endings associated with her staying involve depression or bracing herself for the genocide of the Brotherhood by the NCR.

Having her leave them leads to the Causeless Rebel perk that amps her unarmed attack rate and the ending associated(s) has her wandering the wasteland.

After a decision is made, you"ll have to deal with some pissed Paladins when you exit Hidden Valley.

You can delay having to kill them or push them to be hostile. If they go hostile first, you can kill them without failing the quest.

After dealing or delaying them, follow your quest objectives until they are dealt with and the quest is complete.
