Would be a fun detail if you could discover Victor offline right before the fight starts and reactivate him with a high enough science skill so he can rejoin the fight Mr. House might even comment on it later when you meet him, Securitron being compromised isn't exactly new
imagine if the special house interaction was him telling you to go to goodsprings and fix the securitron stationed there "Because of your... interference, my only set of eyes and ears on Goodsprings is in suboptimal condition. Since you're smart and diligent enough to reactivate Victor even though I didn't want him participating in that little shootout of yours, I'm sure you can go back to that ghost town and repair the Securitron there. A fair trade, given that I let him fight with you."
favorite part about this is that victor is SO nice that he's naturally inclined to say "yes" when asked to fight off a gang of dynamite-loving maniacs, so house HAS to shut him down or risk exposing his presence in goodsprings to the wider wasteland and get victor damaged when nobody else in goodsprings can fix him
@@thesomethingthatisntathing514 ok but i'd like to see you try to drag a securitron all the way out of the strip and get it to goodsprings in one piece WITHOUT arousing suspicion from anyone
Wow, i have hundreds of hours in FNV and ive never evountered this dialogue, it's crazy im still learning new things about this game over 10 years later
In one of my playthoughs Victor actually showed up at the battle and started throwing out the Powder Gangers with his Grenade Launcher. I almost lost the quest due to Joe Cobb's near-deatg.
@@ArwingpilotI imagine he was one conceptually. You got Boon/Cass for NCR, Arcade for followers/enclave, Rex for freeside, ED-E for several, Veronica for Brotherhood, Lily for Jacobstown, Raul for Blackmountain, Ulysses was supposed to be for legion, Benny being spareable makes sense if he was supposed to be a wildcard companion option, so logically Victor would fill the void of House companion. But they probably discarded that idea before it got to coding
Does Mr House comment on this attempt to get Victor to help when you go to meet with him? Regardless, great video! I didn't even know this was an option
My guess is Mr house overrode him so that victor couldnt be destroyed in the fight so that if the courier died victor could continue and report it back to Mr house so he could find another way to get the chip, but idk
It's also a nod to the true character of House. Behind all the grandstanding of a man with vision is a coward that would gladly let the world burn so what's his doesn't suffer a few scratches.
@@alexanderjmihalich8525That’s giving house way too much credit. Samuel Cooke had that plan cooking long before Courier 6 got a surprise lobotomy for the first time that year.
Why tf didn't they let you use Victor in this quest? He's a literal Securitron, He would have been way more powerful than the townsfolk, Even if you get the armour, And dynamite, As well as help from the others
I've already found this out, I was hoping it was a bug where victor would do something different if everyone was already dead. by the by, its not a ghost town when people are living in it
Who shut him down?
powder gangers were hanging around before the gun fight so they probably figured disabling the security robot would be good
Mr. House most likely.
Communists. It's always communists.
@@uncurrentevents749 Mr House sends victor to dig you out of that shallow grave but wont have him help you out in a gunfight?
Ghouls. Religious Ghouls
More skill checks in Goodsprings than all of Fallout 4.
@@sublimeadeyea no shit, smooth-brain.
Gimmie more caps
Doc Mitchell's house has more than FO4
thats a fun detail to add,most people would probably overlook it during a playthru due to it not being listed in the quest.
Encountered it in my first playthrough ever.
I didn't know about it, and I've been playing this game since it came out. Neato, thanks for sharing.
Victor doesn't seem to be in Goodsprings anymore by the time I do this quest.

It doesn't really matter if Victor gets damaged or destroyed, since he can just upload himself into any
Securitron connected to Mr. House.
@@thesomethingthatisntathing514 ok but i'd like to see you try to drag a securitron all the way out of the strip and get it to goodsprings in one piece WITHOUT arousing suspicion from anyone
I asked him to help but was so focused on the fight I didn’t realize he wasn’t helping lol
I've played through this game so many times and didnt even know this dialogue existed
House's explanation would be not wanting to get involved in politics with wastelanders...
powder gangers arent exactly the biggest of players, though.
@@martinpachu7125 politics nonetheless
@@martinpachu7125Their activities weaken NCR influence
Politics aside the powder gangers will forever be "This cutscene always shows up during the credits, don't know why" to me
@@grandmagunsales2125vault 19. It’s quirky, worth a visit. Very much not a control vault

Wait you can ask VICTOR TO HELP?!
I never realize you could’ve asked him

grenade launcher on his shoulders right ?
@@dummybot666 nope. Mark 1 Secoritrons have Grenade Launchers in their hands.
Mark 2 have *Rocket* launchers in shoulders.
I swear in my play through Victor did nothing to actually assist in the fight. He just stood there.
New Vegas with green hud is a crime
Yeah. Desert = Tan
I do like to change it during the DLCs for variety. Blue hud for Old World Blues and Green hud for Dead Money (cause it contrasts the red well)
@@Oli_Dann yeah I get where your coming from. It just looks ugly in the base game yk? It doesn't really fit with the colors like it does in 4 or 3.
I like green? :(
I like green too
Trouble with rustlers huh? Count me in pardner 😎
Man I wish they would’ve let Victor be a follower
I was asking myself why there was no way to make him a companion, when he said to me “you need to be careful! It’s dangerous out here!”
@@ArwingpilotI imagine he was one conceptually.

@@Skullhawk13 one of the many downsides to a rushed development schedule!

Does Mr House comment on this attempt to get Victor to help when you go to meet with him?
Regardless, great video! I didn't even know this was an option
sadly i don't think he does, otherwise there'd be mention of it in tvtropes, the wiki page, and a whole bunch of youtube videos about it
Got around to testing on the save I made this video on. Mr House doesn’t say anything about it.
@@outpeer Dang that sucks. Thanks for going out of your way to check it tho!
So cool
Craziest retconn ever would be Victor being based off whatever cowboy character the Ghoul played
dude it would be hilarious if that was the case and they ended up meeting
@@nathanpierce7681 omg i didnt even think about how he was going to NV that would be so insane
My guess is Mr house overrode him so that victor couldnt be destroyed in the fight so that if the courier died victor could continue and report it back to Mr house so he could find another way to get the chip, but idk
THAT WAS AN OPTION???
Never new you could do this
I wish some good developer make a online mode for this
Kinda funny, House didn't want his toy broken lol
It's also a nod to the true character of House. Behind all the grandstanding of a man with vision is a coward that would gladly let the world burn so what's his doesn't suffer a few scratches.
Or he facilitated the breakout somehow to keep the wasteland dangerous, maintaining the relative value of the security on the strip
Yes and no? On one he needs ncr cash and security on the other hand he wants independence and a breakout would distract them for a time.

Because Mr. House shut him down to prevent just that. Did you not watch the video?
@@enumaelish9193 No shit. But he wants the courier to survive so he can receive his chip. So it makes no sense why he shuts him down
@@PLANDerLinde99You caught that too huh? Might be a question for Josh Sawyer.
@@PLANDerLinde99 they're the POWDER GANGERS. you have two people helping you by default. house probably figured you'd be fine
