Forum:Caesar's Legion Hates Me and I May have Lost the Chip

So I did go through the game giving Caesar the chip and going into the old fort, but I decided to do the quest later or not at all and restarted from a point where I had not yet entered the tent to speak with Caesar. My relationship with him and the Legion was neutral. However, later I went to Nipton and found some of the Legion there, said a few dumb things, ended up killing them all (it didn't help that Boone was with me) and became vilified by the Legion.

I didn't think much of this because I didn't like them anyway (even though I do love the ancient Romans), so I went to give Mr. House the chip, but he told me it wasn't there. I don't think it's still on Benny because I checked his body a few times (I'll check it again to be safe though). I have made an agreement with Yes Man that I want to take over New Vegas and make it independent. Am I purposefully withholding the chip and haven't realized it, or could I have actually lost it?

In the meantime, the Legion has such a huge influence I'm worried being enemies with them might not be wise. if I want to get on their good side, what should I do? or is it a lost cause?

Thanks.

Seems like a lost cause to me. If you restarted just before you entered the tent then your good friend Caesar will have the chip - and he isn't going to simply hand it over! Oh, I do hope you can take a punch or two! - LOL. P3dantic 09:45, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Crap. Any advice on how to take on him and the Legion?

Sniping, Bashing, Burning etc. your way to Caesar's Tent is simple enough, it's when you get inside his tent you need to remain calm. Caesar will be straight in front of you 99% of the time and a good face full from something like a Multiplas Rifle Sneak Attack will generally knock him down. (What's his Armor all about and what use is it - LOL?) Next I get in a corner, either right or left of the entrance, and get ready for something a little worse than a Great Khan initiation. Personally I use Plasma Grenades at the kinda doorway which is halfway into the tent then switch to the Laser RCW. Before entering the tent I Buff up with Buffout, Med-X and Psycho, (or Slasher) and drink four or five Sunset Sarsaparilla's leaving any Companions outside - they just get in the way in my opinion, plus they might die horribly. Of course, if you play in girly mode by all means take them in and just pause to use stimpacks on yourself and just let your Companions die. Meanwhile, I usually manage to win even though my ol' heart is pounding (love the sound effect) and just drink more Sunset Sarsaparilla when I'm done. This isn't the only way defeat Caesar and his buddies by any stretch of the imagination but it works for me. More experienced players may well offer something better, easier, etc.. Good luck to you and, oh yeah, remember to save before you enter - just in case :-) P3dantic 13:43, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
