Helping out Benny a lot more than anyone would anticipate

CourierAlex

First time out of the vault
So if you....

1. KILL MR. HOUSE PRIOR TO SPEAKING TO BENNY

2. KILL EVERYONE INSIDE THE FORT (AND UNLEASH THOSE CHEMICALS AT THE BASE WITH THE RAFT)

3. GO STRAIGHT TO BENNY, AVOID THE YES-MAN, WHILE BEING AS POLITE AND FRIENDLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE...

What'll ultimately happen?

I know that Caesar usually kidnaps him if he escapes you, but if there's nobody at the Fort then what happens to Benny and the platinum chip?
 
You should probably try it out for yourself?
Let us know though.


I thought it was impossible to go to The Fort without meeting Benny though.
 
I once read somewhere that you can visit if you're at least "Accepted" with the Legion. (don't really know for sure though) Plus there's the Fort glitch.



WIKI-

"The Fort can be reached by taking the barge at Cottonwood Cove. The barge itself might appear at first to be just a part of the dock, it's actually a flat raft roped up alongside the dock. This barge can be used whether the Legion soldiers at the cove are friendly, enemies, or even dead. However, you can not take the barge until certain point of game. You must either be invited (when exiting The Tops after completing Ring-a-Ding-Ding, Vulpes Inculta (or another messenger, if you have already killed Vulpes, who will comment on this) will be waiting outside with the Mark of Caesar and thus your invitation), or you have to progress For the Republic, Part 2 to the part where you report to Colonel Moore that you have dealt with the Great Khans."

Hmmm.... I may try this at some point if I have any decent saved games to do so with. But, I don't think I'll be able to check all this for quite some time.

I like how Fallout series tries to anticipate every outcome a player might do, so I'm curious if the developers would have considered something as obscure as this. Not even the wiki outcome mentions this so anyone who does this first may be the first one to try this out. (but it'd really suck if all you got was to see Benny in the same place with the same dialogue and no explanation)
 
well the real question is if you are supposed to enter the camp WITHOUT some invation. That would actually explain it. Since there would be no way in the gameworld to get in the camp and bugs or glitches dont really count.
 
Can you really get into the fort just by doing a bunch of NCR missions?

I tried that (finished the Khans stuff) but it wouldn't let me in.
 
However, I did discover one dialogue bug....


If you kill Mr. House prior to dealing with Benny at all then Swank will still speak of Mr. House like he's still alive and well. (ie, "have Mr. House arrest him")


Hopefully I can get into the fort. Do no legit exist methods exist w/out dealing with Benny? (or were they patched away)

I'd still like to glitch my way in there but not sure how to.
 
hmm ... not a glitch but if you really want inside isnt there some teleport "cheat" in Vegas available from Oblivion or something ? So you might cheat your way in if you want.
 
Benny would tell you about the chip and make you see his viewpoint of ruling the city or let you check out Yes Man with speech check . Leading to independent ending .

You can : help Benny , kill him , make him run , kill him in Fort Arena or help him run away from it with stealth boy and never see him again .
I'll finish the game with Benny ruling Vegas once , i have to see that thing !
 
Why ?
He didn't kill Swank or any of his buddies because of some imaginative paranoia he has . You have to give more credit to Benny , he found out what was Mr.House motive , alone .

Only thing is , how can you not shoot the bastard when you know he shot you . My 20 lvl Courier with Ranger combat armor and ranger sequoia was just itching to unload a couple of bullets into him and use his blood to add paint to the walls . I blame the game there , you become so badass later it's just fun to shoot Benny .
 
When I read the thread title, I thought you were talking about fucking him. It still makes me cringe when I remember my character doing that.
 
It'd pretty awesome if he attacked you in power armor with a great weapon and several souped-up mercs.

Wonder why this stuff was cut.... I guess the developers decided that Benny eventually would clue up after being kidnapped by Caesar. Then again, that doesn't sound very Benny-like.


(note- is there -any- way to access the inside of the Fort prior to dealing with Benny? I still want to test that out.)

Wasn't that some option for female characters ? Would give you the correct opportunity of ... killing him in his sleep.
 
The option of fucking with Benny is awesome, I don't know why so many peopel are such prudes with those things, "I am a COurrier, don't you want me to handle your package?", Benny is a total dork with flirtig, almost childish, there is also an option to just sleep after having sex with him, but I didn't choose it, he would probably just escape, after braging to YesMan that he finally got laid.
 
Yeah, if you go back to sleep, he escapes after he writes you a note and then you have to get the Platinum Chip from him at the Fort.
