Forum:No, Not Much - Camp McCarran issue...

on the mission "no, not much," i've been able to get help from everywhere but camp mccarran. i'm liked by them, can wear an NCR outfit, yet james hsu refuses to send troops. everywhere else i've found something i can do for them to get help, but not here... and i can't find captain curtis, he may have died...

any suggestions? Space6oy 18:33, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

89.135.69.41 I've read after the quest, and I've found some notes about criteria:

Note: You have to save the monorail, or have a good enough reputation with the NCR to be able to receive the reinforcements. Just being accepted doesn't work if it blew up.

Note: From my NCR playthrough, when I was Idolized with them, all of the camps gave me reinforcements without doing their corresponding quesets. (Confirmed by another user on PS3)

Note: You also need to complete the "You Can Depend on Me" quest giving to you by Alice McLafferty at the Crimson Caravan as the company is a part of the NCR.

You do not have to save the monorail to gain reinforcements from Camp McCarran. When you are liked by the NCR you can help interrogate the legion prisoner they have, getting him to tell you there is a spy in the NCR base. This will allow you to send reinforcements to Bitter Springs.

And I suggest you to see after your reputation on your stats: according to the factions description:

Wearing any faction armor will move your reputation with that faction to neutral. For example, if you are "Liked" by the NCR but you are wearing NCR Face Wrap Armor your reputation with the NCR will be neutral. It will return to "Liked" if you take that armor off.

So: It's possible, that you are liked and you can do the quest in the notes above, but if you wear the armor your NCR reputation is only NEAUTRAL.

I hope I helped with this. Enjoy the game and happy new year in advance! :)

thanks, really appreciate your help, but this still isn't solving the problem for me. i'm glad it doesn't depend on the monorail, because that did get blown up long ago. i just helped with the interrogation, successfully w/o any violence, and that still hasn't gotten hsu to send troops. also i found curtis, but he will no longer converse with me beyond a greeting...
