    This is something that I actually realized when I watched this video.
    Boone never told anyone that he knew what happened to Carla, so how did Jeannie come to the conclusion that Boone thought his wife was kidnapped? It just shows she knew more than what she's letting on, and it actually amazes me that the writers of this game would be so clever to put in contradictions in a liar's story that you really have to pay attention and think before the ultimate reveal was shown, like a detective.
    Honestly I would love to know how Nick Valentine would deal with this scenario.

      They also have red herrings in the story. You have Manny, who is very open about his hatred of her and you have No-Bark who is insane so who knows what he is capable of, you have to actually notice the small things to really notice who it was. Besides what you said and what No-Bark explains, another thing to note is she is VERY prideful about Novac. If you insult the place she is very offended by this, and gets very aggressive. This shows us that anyone who disrespects her town earns her scorn. Carla did that a lot, so besides Manny, Jennie would have a bone to pick with Carla too. So you could see either of them being responsible, No-Bark, while insane, does not have the mental faculties to set up such a thing. So you look at the facts. They both hate her and would want her to be gone...except Manny is former NCR, no way is he making a deal with the Legion, I doubt the Legion would even make a deal with NCR, former or otherwise. Its unlikely regardless of motive, so the only likely target is Jennie. She hates anyone who disrespects her town, she hates Carla, and No-Bark, while rambling, still notably mentions a location that she frequents. Its not the most complicated mystery but its still well crafted, you have at least two subjects and even No-Bark spelling it out for you isn't clear cut because the dude is talking about Mole Rat people, he could be delusional about every part of the story. Its a good plot, they did a good job.

      Jeannie did what she did because she didnt want Boone to leave, she knew that Carla would sooner or later get him to go to Vegas rather than live in a small town the rest of their days, and Jeannie would be one sniper short.
      so she sold her for caps and to keep him a sniper, which no doubt part of the deal was that they would leave Boone alone.

    Rape is one of those things they are referring to when they say fates worse then death. So is torture. The question is would you say it was a tough call if you knew Boone's wife was going to be tortured every day. In a way she was gonna be. I think Boone did the right thing. He never would have been able to get either of them back. So not pulling the trigger would have been consigning them to torment for the rest of their lives in the name of keeping his hands clean of the direct action. Which is just cowardly and hypocritical. Boone is a brave man...he was willing to hate himself rather then leave those he cared about to a fate that would have made death a blessing. Feeling compassion for Boone is right. No one should have to make the choices he had to...but the wasteland has a way of asking for high prices.

Would’ve been great to bust a slaver’s auction, guns blazing, maybe with some NCR support, and slay everyone there that spoke Latin. Not a lot of missions for saving slaves in this game, it’s one of the few things I felt was missing.

    I find it kind of funny how of all the factions the Khans get the golden ending if you make the right decisions. In a game where there isn't really any clear good ending, I guess the developers wanted to throw us players a bone and say, "Hey, you did make a difference for the better for *somebody*".
    They're the only faction who truly let's go and begins again.

What is wrong is to interfere with said relationship or, in this case, be happy because their partner got killed. If you truly love someone, then you should be happy that someone makes them happy, even if it's not you.

Then you can open console and press the up arrow key to get the command since you already used it in console and it will add that armor to his inventory, and if you have to you can take the other armor out.

      I kinda know what it feels like. Boone’s beret is a symbol of his service and a First Recon beret serves to display his skill as a marksman.
      As for my own beret.
      Too bad that that one of the berets issued to me doesn’t fit, the fact that I had trouble breaking it in annoys me to no end during basics.

      Damn right. I may have a mod that lets me take an unlimited amount of followers with me, but I always keep Boone around for a couple reasons. One is that having a big party is hell on my graphics card. Second is that he's holds true to a sniper. Give him a nice, powerful rifle (I have him equipped with a PSG1 thanks to a mod) and some armor piercings .308 rounds and he mows through even deathclaws, sometimes before I can even draw my weapon. And it's even worse if I got ED-E with us. Those two are the Fawkes and Dogmeat for my party.

      Basically the same for me, only I don´t have unlimited companions and I gave Boon the Survivalist-Rifle, I think it is just perfect, because usually I will snipe at long distances so for Boone I need stopping power at medium to close range and this Weapon is the perfect mix of accuracy, dmg, dps and efficient use of ammo, most enemies die within one magazine, it´s no problem if he misses a shot, the reload is fast and it is a gun that I would not use anyway because I hate the ironsights of the Service-Rifle. And for backup I have him carry the Gobi-Rifle.
      The only Way to rly top that in terms of Bang for your Buck is to give Veronca (or maybe Arcade?) Eljas LAER, force her to go ranged and have her use MF or MF-Bulk. But then I would miss out on Boone and the Spotter-Perk.

    This legit is one of the most hard core background stories ever introduced in my opinion possibly even in a game. And the best part is its not even your own character just a friend who has deep ties with the setting. So fucking sad the man was forced to pay the ultimate price. Losing his own loved ones and put in the position where it had to be by his own hand. Truly a dark heros tale.

    Damn the dedication to storytelling... You can see why Boone feels fate is out to get him. After Bitter Springs, he had to shoot his own pregnant wife, and he not lives all alone, with the only motivation being to kill legionaries and find who sold his wife. He has lost all hope of redemption until you meet him.
    Meanwhile, in Todd Howard's script:
    Shaun (Father) sets you free and when you meet him tells you he didn't expect you to survive... When you ask him why he didn't unfreeze you immediately when he came in charge he says "there was initially no... logical reason to do so." but then there still is no reason when he decides to do so... he says, and I quote: "Certainly it was no longer to keep you suspended... I... Well, I suppose I wanted to see what would happen." The fuck..?
    Not to mention Fallout 3 where you have to die from radiation activating the purifier, when Fawkes could do it but doesn't, because "We all have our destinies... I would not rob you of that."

      Not remotely. Fallout went up for sale after the owner of it went bust and Bethesda just threw enough money down to buy it. They were arguably the worst developer that could have got their hands on it since they clearly had no vision for it
      Plus New Vegas contains a ton of things that were meant to be in the original “fallout 3” (Van Buren), and its developer Obsidian is made up of many people who worked for Black Isle - the company that made the original two fallout games
      Bethesda basically just hijacked the series, they aren’t to thank for anything

      I think the point is that Boone still suffers from both trauma and emotional loss when it comes to Carla and Bitter Springs. It makes sense that you can't romance him for that reason.

      @Leah Dijon I think he would be the type of man to love rarely but deeply when it happens. The loss of Carla and their child would weigh heavy on him. I loved his story and being able to help him find some peace with himself. Great writing.

      That's the one thing I was sad about with New vegas. The lack of romanceable partners. I always have one playthrough of my games with both genders and I try to play it in a way I see fitting for that character - not me. Meaning there's little to no lesbian action going on just because I personally am not attracted to men. Though as a side note, I consider it a good idea for the female Sole Survivor of Fallout 4 to go "lesbian" due to the fact that she had JUST lost her husband and that finding a new man might just seem disrespectful and.. somewhat out of character. A same sex fling seems more viable there. Also I find Curie adorable.. hard to avoid that. But I digress!
      I wanted Boone to find happiness with my female Courier. I like to imagine they stuck together after the entire ordeal. He's a good man and deserves to live happily. The female Courier isn't some damsel that needs his protection either, so it would be a huge burden off his shoulder and would allow him to just enjoy life with her over worrying every single second to have to go through the same again.

    To hell with the kahns. I wouldn't have minded even if it wasn't a miscommunication and the NCR really just wanted to stick it to the kahns. What, you mean you're gonna attack us for pillaging everyone in sight? How dare you!!! Velasco's indignation is total B.S. In my mind if you fly the flag of a raider then you're no better than a fiend.

      People who take potshots at other people's children in the acts of a marauder don't have the place to complain when their own are gunned down, probably on their road toward taking potshots at yet more in the future. The great Khan's own words reveal how self aware they are. More precisely, aren't. The only thing they deserve is to be mercilessly rooted out and destroyed. Do you do anything different when a nest of hornets sets up in your back yard and begins stinging your kids to death? The NCR is beyond just in their action, and their only mistake was to let pity into their hearts for the vile vermin that were the great Khans.

      Crashmaster Mike hornets, aren’t humans, will never be humans, are nothing like humans. Killing children as they run is cowardly, and fucking disputable. I hate the Khans, but rather than killing children(if you honestly support that in any other case except a child shooting at you directly right now, I hope the legion leaves you tied to a cross) why not save and help them. The NCR was not just, killing defenseless children is cowardly and despicable. And comparing the massacre to killing Hornets, which aren’t capable of sapient thought like humans is fucking despicable too.

      @Rylan H. Mangum first of all, I was pointing out that the khans think it’s just when they do it but not when it’s done to them, second of all, war is unfortunately like that, you shouldn’t be able to do an eye for an eye but it happens, it happened to the Americans in Vietnam and to the soviets in Afghanistan, both took their rage on the civies, also, no I’m not advocating child murder, I’m advocating for owning to the consequences of your actions, khans play victim when their sick, elderly and children were killed by accident while they kill sick, elderly and children on purpose because they’re the fucking khans, see the difference? The NCR didn’t want a massacre, the Khans regularly committed them, it’s sad that bitter springs happened, too many innocents but it irks me that people try to defend the khans saying that bitter springs makes them the victims while they were in fact just reaping what they sowed
