Talk:Veni, Vidi, Vici

Could I...
So, you know it all ends after the final quest? Well, where would you pros say would be a good place to stop? Just before you finally speak with Legate finally or before? Just before you kill the General or before? 217.42.212.135 18:07, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

I do this for all the final quests: 1) keep the save before being transported to Hoover Dam (okay, technically this is the penultimate quest) 2) save as I see fit during the final battles 3) keep the save prior to the final boss encounter (e.g., for Caesar, House, and Yes Man, this was the meeting with General Oliver). I have always used the speech solution, so the ending is neat and clean. Why these?  The first is for safety.  The last is for the inevitable DLC which I assume will take me from wherever I left off in the main quest to the new main and/or alternative side quest lines.

Bug?
I used the speech check to drive general oliver away, but then I decided to follow him abit and he turned hostile. I killed him and when I left the area to encounter Lanius... Lanius justs stands there and the end game won't trigger.

I've got a pair of bugs on this mission myself. First, note that your followers will likely still be on "Wait" since you came from Caesar's tent. If you leave the encampment to go to the dam without putting them on follow, you cannot get them back.

Secondly, I've killed the general after trying unsuccessfully to talk him into surrendering. All of his guards are dead too. However, the quest won't recognize that, so I'm stuck in the room (fortunately, there's always auto save (unless you do something stupid like try to sleep... ug.)) 96.3.131.71 09:13, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Bug in legate Lanius's tent
Whenever i go into legate lanius tent and talk to him the moment the screen goes black instead of being transported to wherever it is i need to go i just resume the game back in the tent unable to move with nothing happening?

I, too am experiencing this same bug in Lanius's tent. I have read a post about this bug in one other forum, but no solution as of yet... unfortunately, I cannot proceed to the dam (and therefore cannot finish the quest/game fighting for the legion.)

Same here, I wish someone would come up with a solution. I just get transported back to the war tent unable to move, but my head...

Extremely Peculiar Bug
I'm afraid I don't have any record of the bug, so can't prove anything, but I just thought I'd share. It happened on the Xbox 360 version.

At the end of 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' I made my way to Chief Hanlon's office and convinced him, using Speech, to surrender and leave via the secret exit. The screen then faded, but instead of seeing Lanius I was still in the room. I recieved a new objective 'Find Chief Hanlon'. He was upstairs, not hostile (brown tick) surrounded by his rangers, none of which were hostile.

Talking to him revealed the following message, in place of normal dialogue (note that this is from memory and so may not be entirely accurate - but the gist is there): "Warning, do not delete these nodes as they contain General Oliver's combat data." After the message, I was able to choose from a single dialogue option, something like: "DEBUG: Do not delete, reset..." where the ellipsis indicates text that I have since forgotten.

The screen then faded once more, and I found myself down in the Power Plant, presumably having been switched onto 'Eureka!'. Mike Lawson spoke to me, telling me that the Legion were entering through the pipes and must be stopped. Bizarrely, Legate Lanius then appeared in the room surrounded by legionaries and gave me his ending speech. The epilogue then played as expected, as if 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' had been finished.

Apologies for not having a record, and not being able to remember certain parts. Any ideas on a possible cause?

Possible easter egg/reference

I noticed on the run to Hoover Dam if you listen to the NCR Emergency Radio the operator says "...location Bravo Bravo Charlie, the doctor is coming."

Now this code could be explained as Bravo Bravo Charlie = BBC, a TV station in the UK, and "the doctor is coming" could be a reference to Doctor Who, a program on this channel... "the doctor is coming" is a phrase heard multiple times during the show (from now to decades ago)

I have no PROOF of this, and it is merely letting you all know....

quick and detailed
For some reason the detailed walkthrough is a lot shorter than the quick walkthrough. seems pretty stupid 98.247.44.82 03:00, February 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, there's no mention of the Intake or getting rid of the snipers. (I only bothered with the latter). I'm guessing a lot less people wanted the evil ending. --Pyoobez 15:55, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
