Forum:Caesar wants to see me, but half the legion hates me...

so i haven't gotten the chip from benny who's being held hostage at the fort, world map says the fort is neutral, if cass & rex come in with me they kill, if i try to talk to some people (like otho, whom i hoped would let me fight in the arena to raise their opinion...) they instantly attack me. can enter caesar's tent with all his guards being tagged as neutral, but as soon as i walk into the main room they all attack me. and pretty much butcher me.

oh and i am wearing legion armor, if i don't they ALL attack me. despite the map still saying the place is neutral.

anyone have any suggestions? know i need to the chip from benny for the main storyline... —Preceding comment was unsigned. Please sign your posts with ~ !

What's your non-armored rep? Somethimes Named/high ranking people's see through your costume. Try givinh NCR dog tags to the dude at the cove to get your rep up. 21:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

thanks for the suggestion, which guy at the cove though? not an option w/ cursor lucullus, guy who boats me to the fort.Space6oy 21:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, Aurelius of Phoenix. 21:53, December 10, 2010 (UTC).

no worries, found him right after asking. he suggests i talk to decanus severus, that he watches over their stores. can't find that guy anywhere though... also i do have 7 NCR dogtags, any idea if that will be enough?Space6oy 22:04, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

heh, nevermind... looked him up, have his goofy helmet. must've already killed him. Space6oy 22:06, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

ok selling 7 to aurelius of phoenix doesn't do the trick. any other suggestions? or do i have to go backstab the NCR now? Space6oy 22:12, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

scratch that, found decanus severus. apparently just killed someone else w/ the same goofy hat. have gone through the caves at camp guardian for more dogtags w/o killing NCR people, turned in a total of 16 to aurelius and am STILL hated at the fort despite the map tagging it as neutral. this sucks.

still hoping for suggestions on this... tried pickpocketing NCR but can't find a single dogtag anywhere else... Space6oy 20:49, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

You can always go in loaded for bear and take everyone out, unless you're playing for the Legion. I've messed up the timing on this quest and "The House Always Wins I" on two different characters...one that I was playing FOR the Legion. On the second, even though I had the Mark of Caesar, I had gone up against the Legion in Nelson and was then Vilified by them. Going to the Fort, I ended up having to kill everyone. The second time, I got to the Fort and advanced the quest, got a couple of New Vegas quests from the Legion, but then again got messed up doing Forlorn Hope quests. This time I was ambushed by Legionaries between Helios One & Forlorn Hope. Veronica and ED-E started firing and killed two Legionaries, and I went from neutral to vilified with the Legion without firing a shot. I was so fed up having to do Forlorn Hope (PS3) reloads that I just kept going. I haven't gotten back to the Legion quests (howitzer parts and killing an informant on the Strip) to see if this corrects my reputation. I haven't found that the dog tags do anything for my Legion reputation. All I can tell you is to reload a previous save, or kill 'em all. Thecrystalcrow 23:06, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

ugh. i've tried the kill 'em all method... definitely not easy. i DEFINITELY don't want to backtrack so far that i haven't done anything to tick them off. ugh again... Space6oy 01:48, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

You could try using a Stealth Boy and sneaking in and out. You could kill Benny with a silenced weapon, take the chip and sneak back out. Try this at night so there's less of a chance of being seen. FlameWolf 20:44, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

thanks for the suggestion but sneaking while using stealth boy doesn't work AT ALL, makes them all attack either soon as i walk in or soon as i enter the second room. even with cass & rex helping me, i had a bitch of a time taking out just 3 of these guys in the weather station. caesar's tent is freaking tough... Space6oy 21:18, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

ok finally got the sneak method to work to take out benny, but not caesar. had to deal w/ killing 'em all & finally pulled that off... Space6oy 22:25, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
