Forum:Coolest Location (In My Opinion)

On my latest "Get EVERYY item" playthrough, I discovered a location that is somewhat south east of Primm. It's called "The Prospector's Den". When you first go in, it is run by viper gang or jackal gang or something, and the prospectors are all dead. Then after 3 days (I'm assuming, because I only returned to this location 2 months after), the jackals or vipers leave, and the place is inhabited by the Prospectors. It houses 6 prospectors (One of which who looks like Denzel from the Book of Eli -- for my game that is, they gave him the rough black beard n all). Also, it has a merchant inside. The outside contains a campfire with the odd number of prospectors walking around. The inside of the cave has Christmas lights and picnic tables. Then on the inside of the cave is an actual intact house, basically the same as the NCR Ranger Safehouse. That is where all the prospectors sleep. In my opinion, this place is SWEEEEET. It's almost like a place you would need a mod to create such sweetness. I definitely plan on using this as my "home" when I do my "KILL EVERYTHINGGGG" playthrough. The prospectors can remain living though; because even a man, a man who kills EVERYTHING he comes across, needs friends. Has anyone else discovered this place??--OhMyParry 23:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I found it on my second playthrough during "They went-that-a way" and I looted it for the 10mm SMGs. It is a pretty cool spot and it's not far from Deathclaw hunting grounds. I can't remember if there are benches there though. Q-35 08:32, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

There is a skill book in there too. Lots of handy stuffs there. Squalor 09:09, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

There's a reloading bench in the back room. Although sometimes the Super Mutants and Centaurs from the nearby spring somehow manage to wander over to the entrance sometimes and pretty much end up staying there since you can't drag them worth a crap. On my PS3 copy anyway. Message 09:14, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

I think I may reverse pickpocket some crazy loot on them to make the prospectors packin'. It's a shame there is no general workbench though. There is also a enclave looking box labelled "Box" with a sign above it saying "Storing Area" or something. It's always empty so I wonder if its supposed to be used essentially for your own things. Perhaps the other prospectors wont touch whats in the box. Although, as with all wandering NPCs, they will probably drink all your rare nuka cola...--OhMyParry 14:22, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Also, because one of my NPC's spawned as a Denzel Washington from the book of eli, I think I'll reverse pick-pocket a duster of some sort, with a machete gladius and authority glasses. I could go all out and give him the scripture from honest hearts too, lol--OhMyParry 14:24, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

I like that location a lot too. I found it right after returning from Zion. I killed all the Vipers with my fancy new survivalist rifle--looted everything and then was walking toward the exit when I suddenly see appearing out of the darkness from the entrance a new coterie of Vipers. They hadn't spotted me yet so I took up a position in shadow--popped a Steady--tossed a plasma grenande and then took them all out before they even really got a chance to react. (One viper flew straight up in the air from the grenade) Probably one of my favorite combat moments in New Vegas. --MikeJTanner 17:57, September 26, 2011 (UTC)MikeJTanner
