Forum:Getting the Yes Man duster in Lonesome Road?

It's something I've been wondering. There's flag's in the main quest line that differentiate NCR, Legion, and either of the strip endings, but not the strip endings from eachother. "Don't tread on the bear!" and "Beware the wrath of Caesar!" specifically state "for the legion" or "for the ncr" if those are the quest lines you're doing, but if you're doing either Mr. House or Yes Man, the quests say "for Mr. House or Yes Man" without differentiating. So, how would the game know which one you're working for? Are there certain dialogue options involved in the final confrontation with Ulysses? CptSprinkles5 04:42, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

It's kind of difficult to tell in my experience...my first run was with an NCR character, so it registered that one pretty easily...my next character was classified as a good-natured rascal to the ncr, aligned for an independent new vegas, but i'm assuming it registered me as aligned with Mr. House since Ulysees believed I was working for him. I'm wondering if moral alignment factors in with faction alignment, or whether it depends on how many quests you completed for a certain faction (playing on 360, with no jailbreaking or user mods)````

Its strange... my duster is more or less the same as Ulysses. And I'm Liked by NCR but idolized by Vegas and Brotherhood86.144.52.241 09:25, September 24, 2011 (UTC) Sec 19

It seems to go by reputations between the three, it stands to reason that if you get yourself villified by NCR, Legion and the Strip then the game can recognise you as truly independent. Or maybe if your rep is neutral for all three, but you get the duster and dialogue of the one that's the highest. Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 12:48, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

I've yet to personally go through Lonesome Road (I'm waiting for GRA), and I've come to an understanding that the picture on the duster will match the faction you've sided with in the main questline. At the moment I'm liked/idolized by all factions (other than powder gangers cuz f them) and I will probably get the Yesman Duster because I installed him into House's tower. I don't think reputation matters, its just the questline you go furthest into. (I would prefer a giant Yes Man smiley face on my duster rather than the 21 though, lol)--24.36.136.171 12:53, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * haha, bring your flag of the bull, two-headed bear...or smiley face Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 13:21, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Funnily enough, when I did my run-through of Lonesome Road just this morning, I was expecting the Yes Man duster, being an Independent. I wore a NCR uniform to temporarily negate my Idolized status with the NCR and my Legion infamy is through the roof.

However, during my play-through, I used the exploit where you do the first House main quests up until the Omertas section, in order to get the NCR warning about helping House, and then doing the Independent quests without worrying about the NCR or their hit-squads, along with some tasty bonus XP. This resulted in the game thinking that I was helping House and so I got the House duster instead. I wasn't that disappointed because the Ulysses version is more suited to my style of character, but it would be nice if I had got it. I wish that they would do a patch with a quest allowing you to get one of the others (of your choice). :( Q-35 16:04, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

The thing that I will hate the most that i made a playthrough where I have EVERY item thats unique / rare / cool in All DLCS and the Mojave. But, this DLC just messed it all up, GRA too. GRA will be through traders and what not, and I'm assuming one will be sold by the silver rush, and they are hostile to me considering I didn't want to kill Cass... So that's messed up. Also, Like I said before, I'm liked/idolized by all. In order to get all items from Lonesome Road, I have to nuke the ncr and legion... I'm idolized by both of them... GREAT, I WILL NOW LOSE THAT!! So somehow, I will have to nuke them, hopefully I don't lose alot of infamy. Then while I'm in the areas I nuked, I will have to sneak attack the remaining survivors and never alert them so I don't lose anymore infamy... This will be GREAT! Sigh... Who woulda thought that the last dlc would so linear in the map itself, and in the questline you choose. LAME!--24.36.136.171 16:13, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

@user above: - If you nuke any of the areas, your faction reputation will be instantly set to the lowest of the infamy range = if you're Idolized with the NCR and you nuke them, you will bet set to Wild Child. - If you attack the ghouls at the areas, I don't think that you gain infamy and it is pretty much impossible to make sneak attacks against them anyway as I literally got off the boat at Dry Wells and instantly came under sniper fire. - How do you know that GRA weapons were be only available through traders?

 * it was stated GRA weapons are only availiable from vendors, but I'd assume they'd make new characters to sell them. Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 17:42, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Well that'll be lame... I was hoping to remain positive. I'm still trying to figure out how the legion and NCR figured out it was you who nuked them... maybe cuz they have "spys everywhere" and in the divide too... I'm probably just pissed because my "get everything" file is ruined due to LR's rep changing ending if I actually want to "get everything". And I don't know if they would add new vendors, that seems time consuming. If they at least make the unique weapon drop on death for the vendor then that wont be too bad. Well I guess I can look at all this in another way... If my file becomes f'd over then I'll have to "get EVERYTHINGGGGG" AGAINNNNN. My hands hurt so much and my eyes were killing me in August from doing this. But w/e... It'll keep me occupied while I'm not at work or in college. --24.36.136.171 18:27, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

I want the Legion duster. I'm playing for the independant ending so I have upgraded the Securitrons. I am accepted by the NCR, (can be) liked by the Legion and idolized by the followers. Is there something I can put on to neutralize my followers/independant rep ? Squalor 22:42, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think Followers rep makes a difference Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 23:06, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Man, I would love a duster with Yes Man's face on it. 23:07, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
