Talk:Victor/Archive 1

Where is Victor in Novac?
I've played through the game several times and have yet to find him. Allegedly, he's supposed to appear to the right of the motel entrance, but he's never present.

How do we know?
How do we know this is Victor, the Friendly Robot? As far as I can tell, the confirmation comes from a game magazine's guess. And we only have the one source mentioning the connection, even though several magazines were shown the same demonstration. SinisterSamurai 04:24, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * In vanilla wikipedia, it states that Victor is a Mr Gutsy robot, but I have changed it to say "TV Robot"...is this based on incorrect info?Kahlzun 13:31, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, if Victor is the one that buries and then discovers the Courier, we can assume that this is Victor, as he's seen moving dirt in the graveyard in the trailer. The robot in that trailer is most certainly not a Mr. Gutsy (most importantly, he has a unicycle for movement). I don't know what article on Wikipedia you're talking about, but I've never seen any information about Mr Gutsies in New Vegas. --96.243.180.163 10:16, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

The infobox has screwed up. >:( Tezzla blah blah blah 09:12, July 3, 2010 (UTC)                                                             the info about vegas vic  should be removed i just got a message from bethblog that the image on victor in bold letters that it IS NOT vegas vic.Fryingpan57 21:00, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Permament Follower?
Hes listed as one in the FO:NV companions and the infobox as a permament follower, did someone who went to quakecon confirm this or something? I remember reading about Victor following you to a strip but nothing about him being a fully fledged companion


 * I am interested in this as well. Never saw him as possible companion mentioned somewhere.--Mr.Lexx(talk) 14:03, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Me as well. I was outside of Goodsprings killing some gecko and he approached me...I interacted with him and it gave me a companion wheel until after one battle. Dialogue ensued then he went back to town. The Prima Official Guide by David SJ Hodgson does not list Victor as a follower in the companion section. Hope this info helps. Namelesswalaby 19 October 2010 1419hrs

He may well just appear to help you out whenever he's nearby-that is what I suppose he may have been programmed to do by House, but who knows. Wyrmalla 18:20, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

I had the companion wheel pop up for Victor while I was in Goodsprings also. I was lvl 9 and had both Boone and EDE following me. Maybe it's supposed to be a kind of tutorial for the companion wheel, since it seems to only occur in Goodsprings? -Anonononononon 20:10 (EDT) October 21, 2010

I had him randomly show up outside Doc Mitchels house, even though he had moved on to Novac the last time I saw him. The companion wheel popped up when I spoke to him too, but he wont follow me. This has to be a bug or something. I haven't completed the game yet, christ I haven't even been to Vegas yet, but I'm positive that this thing plays a bigger part than just being a companion.. A broken one at that.--94.171.184.82 23:39, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

huh???
OK weird, i kno he is required for the story, but still creepy as hell. He was ass raped by wasps when he told me out of no where that this place was dangerous. i looted his body for nothing, i managed to lose the devil wings, dead i left him on his road grave. I make it to Novac some 10 hours after his death, he is DEAD near a pile of tires... There is only one Victor right?? Or is he a devil doll?98.210.120.221 02:01, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

That was strangely poetic. --72.160.251.230 05:45, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Victor cannot die, he can only be knocked unconscious. Mictlantecuhtli 05:58, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's not always the case, it seems. I just watched two Lakelurks beat the starch out of his shorts. I got some scrap metal and 9mm rounds off of him and even after three hours of running around elsewhere I see the body still there in the water. Godless11B 05:58, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

You are not the only one who saw this, he died in Fiend Territory with a pair of fiends near New Vegas Steel for me. Why he died is beyond me..I don't have any mods that alter him. ILoveWario 00:36, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I actually have an answer. Before making it to Vegas, I was able to see Victor get eaten alive by Cazadores. When I finally got to the Lucky 38, I was able to ask Victor "Didn't I see you die?" (or something like that) and you know he told me? He can upload himself onto any Securitron on the network in case his current body is about to bite the big one. He pulled a damn Yes Man! -Malus X 03:51, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Not Unkillable
I was playing and he was fighting some Geckos, shouting out "Hog killin' time!" repeatedly, so I VATS struck a Gecko with my baseball bat, and one of the strikes hit him. He became hostile so I holstered the bat and he became friendly again. Then the Geckos killed him. There was a scrap metal on his corpse, but nothing else. He's certainly not unkillable, unless the game fucked up on me. http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png Frank - West  http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png 18:30, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, I was on Hardcore Mode. Companions are killable in that mode, so maybe that's why... http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png Frank - West  http://images.wikia.com/deadrising/images/3/36/P.png 18:49, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

He creeps me out somethin' fierce, so I stuffed the fucker full of lead when I saw him in Novac and he died fairly quick. Also on Hardcore, so that theory's looking more promising all the time.... Blutteufel 23:14, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

I got both this and the "Victor - Companion" bug, one before the other, in Novac. First I noticed the Companion wheel when I clicked on him. You can still bring up his conversation by selecting that option on the wheel. He declines to become a follower if asked. Then immediately after I was attacked by a NCR Ranger hit squad, and they killed Victor. He's stayed dead more than the three days mentioned elsewhere concerning this bug - so far, has been dead about a week. This is on Hardcore mode. SupremeSlacker 00:20, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Continue to New Vegas he will come back then (and this time he can die)

Ya, I literally just started the game, noticed the optional quest to talk to him disapeared after I left to doctors. After I killed the first Geckos, I went and found his body by the cemetery...I have yet to even talk to him, so I would like to know if this is a bug (well obviously is) and if I should revive him through the console EarthBoundX5 19:43, April 10, 2011 (CST)

Robot Status
It appears to me that Victor is more of a cyberspace kind of entity with its memory core attached to Mr. House's computer systems. In my opinion, Victor uses the Securitron network held by House to remote control a robot which ever is the closest to you. This would explain why he goes offline after House would be killed: without House, there is no network for Victor's core to remote control anything, effectively severing Victor from any Securitron. This would also explain how Victor can "travel" great distances at exceptional speeds and how Victor appears in the Strip while bearing the Securitron name. More so, after the dialoge closes in the said event, Victor's face disappears and the standard police face shows up on the Securitron's screen. --Radnus 81.205.186.16 21:35, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I noticed Victor reverting to the Securitron face in Vegas as well, and I *think* that Securitron was a MK II, while all the others are a MK I?--Ductyl 74.93.110.210 14:48, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

If you encounter him at Boulder City on the way to New Vegas, there is a line of dialogue that leads to him specifically stating that he can "jump" between robot bodies. So yeah, no theory about it. He's a special AI package that Mr. House uses for being friendly, as opposed to the usually intimidating Securitron. Zakrael 16:00, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Bugs
"Victor can be found in front of his Goodsprings shack in "offline mode" and in front of Lucky 38 casino at the same time."

Was registered in the Bugs section. Removed it, as it's not a bug. Victor is an AI package that can jump between Securitron hosts. He tells you as much during the game. The body he has in New Vegas isn't the same as the one in Goodsprings, so of course the Goodsprings one is still going to be there. And if Victor is in New Vegas, then his Goodsprings body is going to be offline. Zakrael 16:05, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Except when you meet him in Novac he tells you that he is headed for New Vegas. Obmckenzie 01:18, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

And when you meet him in Boulder City (or perhaps when you first meet him in the Strip), he tells you that he can switch bodies. Spoiler alert! He's following you around you to make sure you arrive in Vegas safely. He gives the impression of moving around the wasteland normally so you're not immediately creeped out by how a cowboy robot is stalking you. Zakrael 16:11, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

My first play thought I never ran into him in Boulder City, so I didn't know this 69.133.204.194 17:03, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Where does he go if you decide to kill/disable Mr. House? When I activate the terminal, it looks like he turns hostile (not sure, but the 2 friendly markers on the compass go red (him and Jane)), but I didn't kill him and he's not at the Lucky 38 anymore. Does he just go back to Goodsprings?--86.44.142.247 17:54, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Game Breaker - BUG?
I meet Victor on the strip I follow him to the door of Lucky 38 and his body is on the floor - when I enter Lucky38 they are hostile to me...ops...

Anyway to revive Victor or is a complete break?.

I’d like to know this as well. I have the same problem with my PC version and really hope that it can be solved. I mean here it says how you can deal with the hostile robots but that doesn’t help you with dead Victor. --88.153.2.141 00:58, October 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here’s a little update on my problem: I returned The Strip after a long time and suddenly Victor’s “corpse” was gone. After I changed the faction ID of the Securitrons, successfully entered the Lucky 38 without being attacked and went to the Penthouse (Victor was in front of the elevator and worked properly) I talked to Jane who told me to visit Mr. House in his office. But when I did so there was only his face on the screen and I couldn’t talk to him / be talked to. So what is actually supposed to happen? Is he approaching ME or do I have to talk to HIM? If the latter is the case, how do I do it? Pressing E) isn’t working and if I look at him all the cursor says is “Mr. House”. How do I fix this? Can I force him to talk to me (e.g. with a console command)? --88.153.2.141 17:31, October 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Someone answered me and posted the following solution:


 * “The fix is:


 * 1) setally 1267AB 0001B2A4 2) resetquest 00147885 3) setstage 00147885 5 4) setobjectivedisplayed 00147885 1 5) rfid 001264c5 6) setdestroyed 0”


 * While I can’t verify whether it works or not (I’ve restarted the game) this might help those of you who are still looking for a way to solve this. --88.153.2.141 11:42, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Still no fix for this :(

I tried offloading all my weapons and then going in, but the robots were still red!.

Paul posted: 8:41 PST 11-8-2010 I'd like to know as well, as this is a game stopping bug. I met victor on the strip, he tells me house wants to meet me. I say ok, but instead of entering the lucky 38 I go into gommora and gamble till I am thrown out. When I get outside victor is laying dead on the steps of the lucky 38, and all the robots are hostile to me. What's worse is house won't talk to me know, completly screwing the game up for me. Not even sure if I can finish, at least not the way I want to finish for my first play through.

I have the same problem. I thought about creating a new Victor in front of Lucky 38, but I don't know his ID. Can anyone help? Also restarting him might help, but I'm not sure, because it isn't first encounter with him in The Strip. I fear the worst. :(

I emailed bethesda, who knows if they will reply. =/ Hope they get it fixed because I don't want to have to kill Mr. House, trying to do a Good Karma run-through for my first play-through. 99.195.197.108 07:01, November 24, 2010 (UTC)Slashaar


 * I had the same thing happen on my game; 360 version, so you PC guys aren't the only ones. I was gonna run with NCR anyway but this is a MASSIVE pain in the ass because I have ALL MY COMPANIONS IN THE SUITE, along with a whole metric fuckton of stuff there, too.  Killing Victor allows me access to the elevator but it's not exactly like I WANT to be on Mr. House's bad side.  >:/  REALLY bad, potentially game-breaking glitch, and it needs to be patched ASAP.  Seems like it starts with Victor randomly dying outside, with no explanation.  Pity us console users; we ain't got a dev. console to fix this with.  >:/ Creedofheresy 01:57, December 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: The bug with Victor seems to be tied in with something involving Vault 11.  It seems that completing the miniquest in Vault 11 wherein you discover the true purpose of the Vault by retrieving the holotape recordings in the sacrificial chamber has something to do with it.  Discovered this after testing it personally.  I haven't tested it EXTENSIVELY, however; it could be just from picking up a certain item or number of items, simply being in the sacrificial chamber, completing the unmarked quest...I dunno.  I'll update again once I figure it out, maybe get Bethesda/Obsidian to fix it.  Creedofheresy 03:42, December 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * First playthrough, and I don't know if these bugs have hit me yet. However: I decided to check out Vault 11 after heading past Novac and resolving the situation over by Boulder City. While wandering around between the levels, Victor showed up to make his next set of expository statements about how I had better get towards the Strip. This was after I had finished Democracy Inaction by heading into the chamber, and so the sight of another robot freaked me out before I realized who it was. Anywho, this could possibly be related, but more likely it's just him following the player to strange locations and then doing normal dialogue as mentioned in the bugs section on the main page. 24.179.141.137 05:57, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Your not the only one who has this bug :/

XBOX USERS: A way to get around this that worked for me (found on another site) is to click on Victor. Then turn and click on a companion you have to open the companion wheel, and select Talk To. Go into their dialogue options and select "Goodbye" or "Log Off" or whatever, and as soon as you exit the dialogue Victor's dialogue for the elevator pops up. Might have something to do with his pseudo-companion status, but since we can't access the console on the 360, if you weren't planning on killing Mr. House anyway this is the best route to take.

--98.225.158.207 16:59, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

to clarify
I know some people have wondered who victor actually works for and i know for a fact he works for Mr.House. Not everyone would know this when on their first playthrough because if they didnt see mr house right away then they wouldn't have Mr. house tell them that Victor works for him. His mission was to subliminally (too lazy to check spelling.) tell the courier to goto vegas so he could somehow get the chip back for Mr. house and he was supposed to track the couriers progress. Some may look at this and go duh but i didnt know who vic worked for on my 1st playthrough because i didnt speak with house right away so i missed the chance to learn more about Vic. This is for people who did what i did. I think that it should be mentioned that he works for Mr. house in the article. By now someone may have already but when i read it there was nothing about him working for Mr. house.


 * Well it seems pretty obvious who he was working for since Mr House is the only one who owns those kinds of robots, and he meets you at the door of the Lucky 38, escorts you inside and meets you in the penthouse.... What's interesting is that Trudy in the Prospector Saloon says the robot has been in town for more that seven years with the same "cheerful cowboy" personality.

Anoyying bug
Victor stayeed at the front of Lucky 38,and he keeps telling me that Mr House is waiting for me inside.When i tell my companions to go back to Lucky 38 they just completely dissapear fromt he game,they are not at Lucky 38 nor at thier original locations.Lost a load of companions this way and all unique weapons they were carrying.If anyone know where they go when this happens or how to fix this call gimme a shout.Ragedaoneanlonely 18:05, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

EDIT:II HitmanJack x XBL if you lose a companion get 50 repair goto Vault 22 Take elevator NOT STAIRS to LVL2 Oxygen Recycling or something you companion (s) will be standing there

Map Marker
Is this intended or has anyone ever seen this? It's this marker in the world map that says Victor and it's flashing along with the little box you select location with. It's a little triangle north of the Goodsprings Cementery. When I go there there's no one there but once I go away the icon comes back. ??? Keimei 03:14, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm having the same problem except the marker never disappears. He's near the khan encampment/goodsprings cemetery area. I even used the tcl cheat to try to see if he was clipped into something or something, but he's -nowhere-, and I have no idea why... --Perfectusername 03:59, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

I have the same problem, in the same area. A google search led me here. I had a look around (using the 'tlc' console command), and can comfirm that he's nowhere to be found. I guess it's just a random new bug that arrived with the new patch, yay! 24.21.208.212 23:57, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have the same bug...... -Evan

Where is Victor in Novac?

I have the same prolem but ED-E has a marker too around Fire Root Cavern. I checked above below and in the cavern but hes no where this must be a bug in the new patch. however even weirder is that I killed victor and lost ED-E some where.

this happened to me at the same spot and right now i'm playing Dead Money and he's showing up on the Sierra Madre map LOL

So...What Happens?
He becomes a unimportant character? i mean he only digs you and, follows you and then disappears into nothingness? (or more like into generic-character-ness) is he involved in some of the later missions or endings or something?.

Victor missing?
After you kill Mr.House Victor will vanish from in front of the Lucky 38. His body can be found in Goodspring in an inactive state. Where can you find him in a active state?

I had this too! Maybe he is in a future DLC? ;) -Joe PLz help Plz i wana know where he is coz his EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

well Mr. House controlls him so if he is dead than Victor is dead also we already know what the DLCs are

Victor & The Followers
In my experience, once one exits the Lucky 38 a member of the FOTA (Followers of the Apocalypse) speaks to you and asks you to bug Mr. House's system. After completing this quest, I talk with the Securitron outside of the casino and gives the usual routine.

However, once inside, I cannot speak to Victor. Every time I try to talk to him, it won't allow me to. And I have not given the Platinum chip to Mr. House so I can't access the elevator myself.

Vadalization
''Victor can be seen at the bottom of the reservoir at Hoover Dam. Victor can also be seen at The Fort, where you will notice he is sitting in the throne and notes he has killed Caesar. If you enter Wind Dead Cavern, you will see him at the end of the cave playing a banjo with Mr. House, the King, Legate Lanius, and Benny. If you kill Doc Mitchell in the beginning of the game you will see Victor kill himself when you leave his home.'' This looks like vandalization to me. But I thought I should mention it here instead of just deleting it. Don't want trouble for deleting actual information The Emporer 19:04, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Its vandalisation but its funny (slightly) vandalisation

also how the hell could this be actual information? playing banjo with legate lanius the king Mr.House and Benny he doesnt evan have(the right) hands

Bought the Farm in Good springs
I was attacked by Powder Gangers during the tutorial and victor was killed. Will he still pop up later? 74.77.129.70 05:55, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ulysses was his old owner?
So under background, it says that Victor's owner lived in the "shack with the 'Old World flag' hanging outside," until he disappeared. No one in the town seems to know who exactly this man was. I might have figured it out. The term "Old World flag" has been connected with Ulysses, the "mysterious" man who is searching for the Courier. I think that this might be more than a coincidence. Anybody else agree?99.56.230.107 00:23, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, hi, Victor. Why are you at the Sierra Madre?
I killed him. A loooong time before I went to the Sierra Madre. Dead. AI = Offline. And I go to the Sierra Madre, and WHAM, it has the companion triangle and sayas he's there. I go and investigate, but, ah, he's not there. Just the marker. I know this probably has to do with him becoming a compainon glitch, but really. It's creepy. I can't see or hear him, yet the map says he's there. Any reason? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.46.182 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~ !
 * Whilst I haven't experienced this my self, he is also in Zion park

-- IDave Ja VuTalkcontribs 01:48, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Where did he go?!
After i Killed House, I can't Find him! :(

well Mr. House controlls him so if he is dead than Victor is dead.

Victor's disappeared
I follow "The house always wins" quest up until the part where you give the platinum chip to House and the securitrons are upgraded to the mk. II operating system, but now victor's gone missing. Any clues?

I killed him just cuz he was getting creepy, will the game change?
