Forum:Can't get near legion

Ok, so here is my problem, I need to get the platinum chip from Benny at The Fort but I am vilified by the legion. So, I put on some of their armor and it says I'm neutral. So I get into the fort and everything is fine, but when I open the drawbridge and start going towards Caesar's tent all the legion people say "you will pay for that" and attack me. How am I supposed to talk to Caesar if they keep killing me? Is there a way to get around them?

There isnt. The legion has lots of "guards" and dogs that can see you through your disguise. Either use a bunch of stealth boys and steal the chip from Ceaser or just kill everyone. People please use your imagination next time :). Its a game where you can do almost whatever you want, just improvise - if they are too though to kill , try sneaking. I didnt try this but there is another option that comes to my mind - get a sniper rifle and try to climb one of the rocks near the legion's fort and then pick them off one by one stealthily (attacking from "hidden" status). The AI really bugs out when you are on a ledge that they cannot climb - it just makes circles and around the rock and watches you, so even if they spot you, you can kill them without getting a scratch since most of the leagion troops are "Unarmed". You can also try puttin some C4 in front of the tent of ceaser, enter, get them to target you , then immediately exit, basically they will start moving out of the tent and will cluster in one place , perfect time for some BBQ :). Seriously just improvise, im not saying every strategy will work 100 %, but in any case it will soften them up at least so the fight will be easier. / By Trivium

I was confronted with a similar situation - having to retrieve evidence of Caesar's plan for the Great Khans and already having become "Vilified" despite wearing the Mark of Caesar. Using Stealth Boys, C-4, and a silenced Sniper Rifle (and lots and lots of chems and magazines) I managed to purge the entire Fort of Legion. I was therefore able to retrieve my item and complete my quest. I don't recommend this option so early in the game though, as I think it screws with the storyline somewhat. I just couldn't see any other way to get from A to B at Level 18. / by fiyah

I am in the same boat. Here's what I've done so far that seems to be working (going to finish it up later tonight). First, bring a companion (I'm bringing Veronica). Approach the fort carefully, kill as many Legion as you can. Once your health gets dangerously low, get outta dodge, fast travel to a doctor (I've been using the one in New Vegas) and heal up. It will let you fast travel as long as there are no enemies in the immediate vicinity. Then return to fight again. Enemies don't respawn, so it should get easier with each attempt. Be sure to bring lots of stimpaks and super stimpaks if you can, and give them to your companion when his/her health starts dropping. This method might seem kind of cowardly, but you are seriously outgunned here, and it's a lot smarter than trying to take on the whole fort at once and getting yourself and your companion killed. Hope this helps. Ejp0805 23:30, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

I too experienced this. I guess thats what you get for ignoring Incultas advice and continuing to wipe out legionaires. However, I did actually want to talk to Caesar, so I waited until my next perk level up and got 'Animal Friend', thinking it was only the legion dogs that were sussing me out. Well, the dogs now don't attack me but Praetorians, Vexillarius and any other officer still does. I went with C4 and the Alien Blaster and, 10 stimpaks later, they had all snuffed it.
