Forum:Do you kill Malcom Holmes or not?

The question is simple, do you slain him or not if he finds you? Usually after collecting two Sunset Sarsaparilla Stars caps he approaches you, dressing two juicy pieces of clothing: a roving trader outfit and a roving trader hat, wich raise your barter skill by +10. In the beginning of the game this makes a difference. I kill him as soon the conversation ends. And how about you, people? Brfritos 11:31, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

I kill him the very moment I see him coming, mainly because I don’t want to talk to him anymore… ever. 172.162.121.160 02:05, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Always, and I don't care about his clothing I just don't trust him - following me around until he corners me up on the ridge with the geckos, I'm sure he's tied in with Barton the Fink somehow.75.67.224.12 04:24, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Same here Brfritos. It's a freebie you can't afford to miss IMO. (P3dantic) 86.150.207.91 23:05, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I forgot: he also carries 6 SS Star caps and some .308 ammo besides the clothes. I do the same with Jacklyn and Tomas in Nipton, BTW. :D Brfritos 00:36, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

As soon as I realized he's carrying 6 star caps I blasted his ass to kingdom come, pardon my verbalism. But he was a nice character after all. xNOKIx 10:55, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't kill him because he was too nice. -- CoD addict (talk) - 22:28, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

I don't kill him, with Tomas and Jacklyn - I wait for one to kill the other ... if she wins - she tries to kill me, if she looses ... I get XP by passing a speech check from Tomas and get my STARS that way

I cap his ass for the star bottlecaps. The first time I met him, I didn't, but anymore I waste his sorry ass --SergeantDornan 22:49, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * Nah, just dumb AI, I think ;) By the way, in my first playthrough I didn't kill him, too xNOKIx 17:13, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I tried to kill him once and he disappeared. Just... disappeared out of thin air. I usually don't kill him. It makes me feel so bad when I kill characters as nice as him. --TheConvictsSUCK 02:54, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Every single time. Zombieninjadavidbowie 22:41, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

I only bummed into him yesterday, me being half way through my second play through. Met him at Nipton, only bumped into him when I heard gun fire. I ran towards it and he got to me and started talking saying "damn she was crazy, been travelling with her for a few days and then she went mad" then something bout his lucky necklace. I talked him into giving me the necklace (6 star bottle caps) then walked to the dead woman and it was jacklyn who had 2 stars for the taking :) I am still to meet Malcom.

I never kill him, but raiders definately do Paladin LJ 12:29, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

My first playthrough I didn't kill Malcom but now I kill him every time, just to get the caps. I also usaully help Tomas kill Jacklyn and then use Terrifying Presence to get his bottle caps, or I just kill him as well, really saves time getting the caps. --Coolkid9753 03:08, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

i think he is supposed to be one of the first moral tests of the game, although there is no real consequence for killing him it sets a precedence for the rest of your characters playthrough. i didn't kill him on the first time either but the next few times i slaughtered him as brutally as i could, why? cause i had something to gain so why not? --Mgriller 03:41, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
