Victor disappearing from goodsprings

It Wandered In From the Wastes
So after leaving Doc's house I decided to head straight to the clinic to get my Int to 10 before level 2 and then go back to goodsprings and play the game normally. When I went back I noticed Victor is nowhere to be found and even the optional part to talk to him as part of the first quest is gone.

Anybody know if this is normal or a bug? And if a bug is it serious as in locking me out of other quest paths/factions? If so I'd like to know now as a few more skill points aren't worth a ruined game. No spoilers please, as this is still my first playthrough of the game. This is for the original version on PS3 with the latest patch.
 
Probably nothing to worry about.
He might actually be wandering of after you and got stuck. Try and make it to Novac and see if he turns up there as he is meant to, or the Strip if you make a beeline to it.
He's oddly coded and a few different npcs are used to present him over the game so if the Goodpsrings one goes missing the others should be o.k.
 
Victor is not that essential, he probably wandered off to the cementery and was attacked by some creature or soemthing, just continue your game, nothing is in serious danger.
 
Victor tends to take the path north, so he may have wandered off that way. If you try to go north and encounter the Cazadores he will often come and help you.
 
Ah okay, yeah I went through Novac on the way to the clinic so if there is something scripted that moves him that might be what happened.

Ah, yes, he is scripted to appear elsewhere on your way.
