Talk:Don Hostetler

Wife
Hsi wife in Novac? When the hell is she in Novac? --Wierdperson31 01:06, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, good question. I've only ever seen her in her house. Unpleasant individual she is...ComaDivine 13:31, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * I want to know that too. I've been searching different pages and can't find any page that links Don to anyone else. This page really should refer to his wife by name.--Wck604 22:19, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

The wife has no name and appears just under "Mrs Hostetler". She is not supposed to leave her home, but after her quest is completed it is possible for her daughter Alice to go to Aerotech and Novac if she is not killed by the player. The daughter's name is Alice Hostetler, but Don Hostetler is is the same room as Alice Mc Lafferty. It is a bit confusing. --Croquignol 01:39, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

So this guy is meant to be a Don Draper from Mad Men reference right? 79.70.114.137 17:23, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Believe it or not, Don is an actual name (No way!). So maybe... Just maybe... Somehting can exist without being a reference (Unbelievable!). --Wierdperson31 02:18, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

I think he is a reference to Draper, with the attire, name, and philandering.

Running around the wasteland?
Is he supposed to be running around in the wasteland? I arrived at the Freeside East gate and decided to scout the surrounding area before heading in. I walked North past the Crimson Caravan entrance and the Freeside North gate and continued North to the abandoned looking farms. I was walking South toward the New Vegas Medical Clinic when I spot a guy to the East in a suit running North. He ran to the farmhouse with the windmill with three bedrolls underneath it and laid down. He might have gotten himself killed if Boone and I didn't kill the mad brahmin hanging around there. This is the first time I have met this character.

Don Hostetler marker appears outside of map and the guy's nowhere to be found
I'm trying to find him for the quest Aba Daba Honeymoon and the problem is the map marker goes outside of the map in the Pipboy, making it impossible to find him. He's also nowhere to be found either in his house or at the Crimson Caravan. Reloading to a much earlier save, he does appear normally in the house at night. I'm not sure if it's related to me talking to Mrs Hostetler before meeting him. Is there any way to explain this and make him reappear within the map again? Like, perhaps doing the Someone to watch over me quest to make him reappear? Someone please help for I really wanna finish this quest and not having to start all over again... until a patch that fixes this comes up

Hidden Valley
I was currently looking for the last dead Brotherhood Member Holotape, I walk up to hidden valley, talk to Neil, and then out of nowhere, I see Don Hostetler Walking down the road, smoking, same old speech options. Why? Slightly surprised nothing had killed him, but honestly I'd like to know how he got up there. He was heading towards prim or maybe sloan, if that means anything.Tobiasender 23:25, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
