Forum:Hostility Issues

I'm having issues with hostile standing. I can't seem to progress the main quest(The House Always Wins, I & II) because I can't talk to Caesar. I'm vilified by the Legion and as such I have trouble walking into the Fort. I tried wearing faction armour(Centurion) but upon entry to the tent I am always spotted by the guard just inside the door. How do I get around this?

Well this means you have to kill them all. In my first play through - i never even contacted the legion until i was MAx level. By that time they were hostile towards me - so i just killed them. Beware, the guards around Ceasar are very tough though - I had the Gobi sniper rifle and guns to 100 and still they didnt die from 1 shot to the head. Plus they also have a strong melee attack so when you get surrounded consider yourself dead :) Other solution may be - high sneak skill and a dozen stealth boys and then you just steal the chip from Ceaser
 * My solution - an anti-materiel rifle and a dozen C4s. Duck in, shoot Caesar in the head, duck out of the tent, when Caesar and his cronies rush out after you, trigger the C4. --Johnny Trash (Talk) 03:04, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'm puzzled by the fact that some factions are immediately hostile - Powder Gangers and Viper's. No point in having a reputation system etc. if they're just going to attack you regardless.

Also the powder ganger surviving in Nipton was giving me grief for waging a war on them! The cheek, they started it!! lol


 * Weird thing happened to me after I cleared the Legion out of Nipton. I had never seen a Powder Ganger in there but later in the game I was talking to The King to get Rex's quest and a lone Power Ganger ran into the room and attacked me in front of the Kings. He didn't last long.

You can garner a positive reputation with the Powder Gangers if you help them attack Goodsprings, but the Vipers are hostile because killing you is just recreation for them.

Bummer. So not what I wanted to hear. I guess I'll do what I can with disguises and Stealth Boys for now and then just end up killing everyone when it doesn't work. As for the Ballistic Fist, yes, very very damaging. Last time I tried it I think it took two or three hits to kill me. Manifold0 19:49, October 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * One you kill a Praetorian and grab his Ballistic Fist the tables turn very quickly. Also I killed a Legion Blacksmith for his chainsaw, which turns out to be very effective on Legionnaries.

I've had the NCR randomly go hostile on me even if I'm idolized and haven't completed any Wild Card quests. For some reason it always happens in the area by the Embassy, at least once a NCR MP ran into Michaelangelo's and attacked me.
