Forum:NCR's Bipolar issue?? HELP NEEDED

Hi all,

I've been playing FNV with an NCR-friendly way, and I am (or was...) Idolized by the NCR. Suddenly, after completing one or two quests, the NCR goes ballistic on me and shoots me on sight. What happened?! I love you guys! I've done extensive research on the wiki and found NOTHING. Caesar's Legion, Great Khans, NCR, and other major tribes' reputation are gone from my pip-boy. Yes, just GONE. I feel like a lost puppy... I've been running around wearing NCR patrol armor and talking friendly with the NCR, but Lily and ED-E are on full-battle-alert, with her blade out and the music playing. Here's what I have done before getting NCR hostility.


 * Completed "Debt Collector" Killed Lady Jane, is that of any significance? She isn't affiliated with NCR.
 * Found the wastes of Camp Goodsprings, killed all the Ghouls, found mercenaries in the church and started quest for radiation suits, Wheel of Fortune.
 * Walked out of Goodsprings to find First Sergeant Astor, hostile. This is my first encounter with the hostile NCR. Donned a ghoul's NCR Trooper Armor and began We Will All Go Together.
 * Completed some of the quest, fast traveled to the Strip Gate to gamble. Went to the Kings School, only to be met by two hostile NCR rangers guarding the School from the Kings/NCR quest.
 * Continued exploring the wastes for an explanation, ran into NCR hostility at Primm.

Conclusion
I am currently sitting on the hills east of Primm waiting for an answer. The only faction reputations showing are, in order:


 * Boomers
 * Followers of the Apocalypse
 * Freeside
 * Goodsprings
 * Novac
 * The Strip

Please, I need an answer. I have no caps, but I'll give you Good Karma if you are greatful enough to find an answer. Godspeed, Extremofire 14:31, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I'd hazard a guess that it's the Armour you're currently wearing. Faction Armour causes no end of inexplicable problems throughout this, otherwise brilliant, game. Remove it before donning replacement Armour, as opposed to simply switching Armour in your Pip-Boy, then look again at your various Faction standings. This ought to work and hopefully it does. :-) P3dantic 15:12, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the other factions are back in the Pip-Boy! However, the NCR is still hostile! is there anyway that you may figure out the ways to make the NCR permanently hostile? After your little trick concering faction armor, they were still pretty angry :( I tried the FO3 trick of waiting 3 days to remove hostilities. No go. Didnt help much because of hardore mode either. Thanks in advane, Extremofire 13:08, January 31, 2011 (UTC) (apologies, the "c" button on my keyboard is broken so I had to opy and paste a bunh. sorry, i got lay sometimes lol)

The permanent loss of reputation is probably about something you did when being hostile to the NCR. If you have a companian it is not unlikely that he/she shot at a NCR soldier and that will make your reputation with the NCR suffer a lot. Your best bet will probably be to load back at a save before you went hostile with them Snapz 18:16, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Trying that now, I have to go over 3 more levels from 32-33 :( but i'm doing what I did in the earlier saves and seeing of they beome hostile. any more solutions would be great :( [You've lost Karma!]

edit: And wouldn't killing a member of a tribe make the entire permanently hostile for a few days? as said before, I waited for 3 days, as this usually works in FO3. However, most tribes that ive made stay hostile, so I am not informed... does this trik still work in New Vegas? 69.251.1.179 18:00, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Too bad about having to go so far behind:(. If you want to keep your save you can try wearing a NCR armour and help them out with some quests if they have any available. That will make your reputation go up again. Other than that i don't see a good solution. About the 3 day thing, i don't think it works in NV like it did in Fo3. At least i've stayed vilified with the Powder Gangers even though i haven't encountered them in weeks. Snapz 18:17, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
