Talk:Back in Your Own Backyard

I had 17psycho when I talked to ranger milo and yet there was no dialogue option to give him any of it... is this even possible at all? or is the mention of it just a sarcastic remark from ranger milo? Namad 14:30, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I had 15, and likewise, no way to do it. Perhaps it's like the monorail bug, or maybe it's just a remark like you said. -78.149.53.46 01:34, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I had 25, and it did give me an option about having several dozen doses. He laughs it off and states that he was just joking, also remarks that he's impressed you have that much Psycho, and you get a small NCR Fame boost. 216.189.204.44

Bugged?
I snuck into camp, killed the generator to kill the lights, and freed the 3 hung prisoners. They all survived and returned to camp. I also killed every Legion member in the town (at least any outdoors and in the surrounding area. Yet the quest hasn't updated and there are still quest markers blinking over the heads of the 3 guys I freed and Milo.

The article says you can complete this quest by freeing the 3 and killing all the Legion. Is this true? If so, I must be missing some Legion. I'm pretty sure I've cleared every house and didn't find any there. Any ideas? Servius 05:42, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Worked fine for me.I just rushed in,untied the NCR dudes,went back to Milo,finnished the quest and had him pick of any Legion soldiers that followed me back.Ragedaoneanlonely 20:36, November 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * I had the same problem. Basically there are still legion around, there is some all over the top and bottom hills, at the top, they are pretty close to geckos, so if you get that far out, then thats to far but that's about where the legion stop for the top part of the hill. there's more further at the bottom of the hill, and also in sniper towers, as well as some in the house. I was on the PC version and only when I killed every last one of the legion did the ranger allow me to turn in the quest. 76.198.70.129 07:37, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Problems here, too
I slaughtered the town and freed the hostages before I had a high enough speech skill to get the quest. Upon returning, I receive the quest, the Ranger zooms off to his perch, and I'm left twiddling my thumbs. Is there any way to complete the quest if you free the hostages before actually receiving the quest?

Update: I missed a hostage the first time through. *facepalm* My fault all along. Quest completes fine.

Rewards
Not sure if this is the same for everyone but when I completed the quest I gained NCR fame and Legion Infamy even though it doesn't say so as a reward on the quest page. Anyone else confirm?

No quest in questlist
I killed all the Legion and completed the quest "Restoring Hope" and then rescued the hostages before even having talked to Milo. Afterwards I discovered that Milo is supposed to give you the quest for rescuing them. When I tell Milo I rescued the hostages it will say in the topleft corner that you completed the quest, but it doesn't appear in your questlist. So trying to restore things I reseted the quest. Milo ordered me to kill/rescue the hostages, but the hostages didn't go back to their cross. Does anyone know how to fix this?

With all your respect,did you really expect those NCR guys to nail themself back on the cross...Ragedaoneanlonely 20:38, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Legion reputation
As I started this quest, every Legion members in game became hostile towards me, although before I could freely walk among them without disguise. I didn´t received before any Legion Infamy, so I don´t know if it is bug, or what. 91.127.235.72 16:28, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Had you done Oh My Papa and outed the Legion agent? Was Boone with you? What were you wearing? Inquiring minds want to know...DarthOrc 07:46, July 8, 2011 (UTC)DarthOrc

Yeah the Legion in Nelson become perm hostile after freeing the NCR, including Dead Sea. --Battlecattle 07:52, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Peaceful way?
Anyone find a way to not gain any legion infamy and rescue the hostages? I Plan to do Boone's quest, then dismiss him for a bit, get another companion and do the legions quest. but I'm having trouble getting boone his history points first. 76.198.70.129 07:40, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I just did this last night without Boone. Talk to Milo and start the quest. As you round the hill to town, switch to Legion faction apparel and disarm yourself. Free the hostages but do NOT attack any Legion members, just high-tail it out of town (you will probably take some damage). Change out of Legion dress once you're out of sight of the town but before any NCR sees you. This resulted in a successful quest completion, I still had Neutral Legion infamy, and when I later walked past a Legion in the desert, he did not attack me. 15.195.201.90 14:53, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

The only 'peaceful' way to beat the quest and receive very little Legion infamy is to have a high Sneak skill and pick off the Legion members outside the building without being spotted, and have a companion such as Boone kill Dead Sea. You may pick up a small amount of Infamy but will not become Vilified. There is really no way to complete this quest without gaining a small amount of Infamy due to the fact that the questline is mentioned to you when you travel to the Fort and Caesar speaks of your negative accomplishments against the Legion. This is one of the main questline attacks against the Legion that makes it possible for Vulpes Inculta to give you the Mark of Caesar. GlassJAw667 15:01, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
