Talk:Malcolm Holmes

Outside original encounter
Can Malcolm Holmes be found anywhere outside of his original appearance? Ragepyro 16:05, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

I met him right when I got out the New Vegas Medical Clinic.(rushed there at level 1 for int implant) I have a save just before I go outside but I have no idea to "videotape" for proof.--68.100.64.165 02:30, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Expand Quest Information
Could someone expand on this quest and treasure mentioned in this entry and in the Sasparilla Star Bottle Cap entry? Due to a hilarious combination of me fast-traveling to Primm just before triggering this encounter, and good old Malcolm and a mine spawning at the same point... I never got to speak to him in my game. ABCoLD 22:32, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Merchant?
According to the wiki page he is a merchant that sells weapons, apparel, and aid? can someone confirm this because ive never been able to trade with him before... --Massacring Wolf 02:59, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

I've been able to initiate trade with him briefly, he doesn't have anything more than an average understocked merchant does, nor many more caps. As soon as he is done speaking with you try and open a dialogue before he walks away, you might get the option. --Saltysea 15:30, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Can He Appear Anywhere?
I just completed That Lucky Old Sun and immediatly after speaking with Fantastic for my reward, he run up to me whilst still in the building. Can he appear anywhere or is this just another location? just appeared to me at the top of the helios one tower just as i switched the power on

Doesn't appear
I have some fourteen sunset sasparilla star caps, and I don't believe I've encountered this man. Is this normal? Zarts 06:48, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Man I have 32, and I haven't met him yet. Could it have somthing to do with meeting Festus before hand? Chaos ian7 07:09, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

It's very possible that he spawned near your location, but then got attacked and killed before he actually reached you. Timzamp 00:06, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

He Steals your Stuff
This dude picks your pockets... and killing him doesn't get your stuff back is there a way i can get my stolen stuff back?

You must've gotten caught pick pocketing him then. Whenever you get caught stealing (from anyone) stolen items are removed from your inventory. Also the items completely vanish therefore you can't simply kill the npc back for it (and yes any npc can do this). Its one of those things that no one ever notices because we all quicksave/reload upon failed steal attempts. Anyway, tough break.

How many star caps are needed before he appears?
The page says 'a few', any definate number that triggers him? Thanks.

I got him after finding my second star cap

He's appeared to me after getting only 1 star cap. If you have already collected multiple star caps, use the wait function to wait several days. Malcolm should spawn a few steps away from you, walk up, and initiate conversation. Epsilon616 03:44, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
