Talk:Festus (Fallout: New Vegas)

Festus can be shutdown with Robotics Expert. Need confirmation of whether quest is not able to be done or not.
Apparently Festus can be shutdown using the Robotics Expert Perk. Like all other robots, Festus appears to be nonoperational if the perk is used on him. So does this mean that Festus is no longer able to give the quest? Can someone please test and confirm?97.102.27.213 11:41, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yup
Yeah, using robotics expert to deactivate Festus prevents you from getting the quest. Just like killing any other quest-giving npc, except it doesn't notify you that either quest has been failed.

Add A Valuable Lesson to Player Ineractions section?
Shouldn't the A Valuable Lesson quest be added to the Interactions with the player character section? He is the initiator after all. De stijl 05:07, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Rewards
Here's the script that gives you the rewards. Winning repeatedly does not increase your chances of getting a card. Since GetRandomPercent returns a number 0-99 inclusive, GetRandomPercent <= 5 is a 6% chance, so that leaves 94%*26% = 24.44% for the card (unless I'm missing something). if GetRandomPercent <= 5 ; Give a star cap player.additem NVStarBottleCap 1 elseif GetRandomPercent <= 25 ; Give cards player.additem RandomCaravanBaseCards 1 else ; Give small random number of normal caps player.additem CapsChange100 1 endif SkipThisAd 19:32, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Give player reward

Under the 'notes' section it says a terminal states disturbing comments about festus can be found, yet I could not find this terminal. Is the section incorrect or is it just me ?

'A terminal states disturbing comments about festus'
To add to what the guy above wrote, really?

Does it?

I haven't found it.

Any ideas? Tactictoe 23:58, July 8, 2011 (UTC) He could possibly be the robot single handly running all the shipments in the message 'Worse News'. forgot to sing Fryingpan57 00:08, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Disturbing Info About Festus
I also haven't found any info about it... There's only 3 terminals in the entire HQ, and none of them have any info about him, except the one that was stated above my commment. Kind of confused as to why Fallout wiki would at that note in that section...

"We .. would like to fuck ... patronage"
Reading the article, I'm pretty sure this is a troll or similar. As far as I recall, the word "fuck" is only used a few times in the game, and Festus is not one of the characters who uses it. I'm leaving it there because I might just not have noticed. Anyone else with a better memory or who can get in the game to check (I'm too lazy to boot it up, seeing as how long it takes for my computer), please do.

I am not sure. It makes no sense for Festus to say that, as he is supposed to be good for bussiness... But I am not sure.--Christian Broach 03:48, October 8, 2011 (UTC)
