Imagine a conversation between Preston Garvey and oxhorn Preston: it looks like another settlement need your help. Here, i'll mark it in your map Oxhorn: i've already defended that settlement and did a video about it. You can watch it here.
RIP you didn't include the intelligence check with Silus where you can start speaking to him in Latin. That was a pretty cool dialogue tree for them to include in the game
Since I play as a Female Courier, I much prefer this method. Being able to beat the info out of Silus always felt a little unrealistic to me. My build and skill set just don't lend themselves well to physical altercations. Outsmarting the Legion *as a woman* is more satisfying. 😈
S Plo while oxhorn does an amazing job covering almost everhthing about every quest he does sometimes skip options, like things like the animal friend perk, like how you can use that as an option to talk about Gabe in OLD WORLD BLUES
Note for anyone watching: It is important to do this quest with the persuasion method (and get the info about Caesar's sickness) before attempting the Chief Hanlon quest "Return to Sender". This information is vital if you want the best possible outcome. Chief Hanlon will not be convinced the NCR has any chance of surviving unless you reveal to him the truth about the Legion's fatal weakness. Otherwise, you will have to kill Caesar yourself to get Chief Hanlon to see the error in his ways.
this is spoilers for the quest but.. When I confronted him and asked himself to turn himself he killed himself would convincing him with this quest do anything to that end?
Sed yes it completely changes the outcome. Hanlon's chief problem was that he simply thought the NCR would tire out and lose to the ruthless, tireless Legion. He has a whole new set of dialogue if you have already interrogated the legion spy. He doesn't require any huge speech checks or anything and pretty much folds right away because he sees that he was wrong to assume the Legion was invincible.
Lieutenant Boyd is all shades of sass. Love her dialogues. And I kind of feel sorry for her husband when she comes back after years fighting. He better have behaved. :-D
Edison Michael My favorite line is when you succeed with the Intelligence option. She says she would have rather you beat the crap out of him. But she felt like she witnessed art. She even calls the money she pays you a commission.
With Old World Blues, Farber becomes an important merchant. He carries a huge stock of maize, and you can run that through the Biological Research Station to convert to salient green, then use the hot-plate to convert to xander root and Broc Flower - which you can turn into a slew of stimpacks.
Why Stimpacks? If you add Nevada Agave and some Cave Fungus (Honest Hearts is a good way to get some fungus that isn't mutated) you get Healing Poultices.
Stimpacks are cheaper to make, and can be made into auto-inject stimpacks. Cave Fungus kind of limits the healing poultices to Zion Canyon. But while in Zion, yeah - healing poultices are awesome.
There is another option concerning the captain in the tower; sneaking in, listening about the bomb, running to the bomb and defusing it (provided you have the explosives skill up enough) THEN reporting the captain to the Colonel. He will be arrested and will show up in a jail cell in a room opposite where you interrogate the Centurion. Everyone lives, nobody dies and nothing gets blown up. Result.
On my second play through I went to listen in on the spys conversion but when I went into the watch tower he was at the door and caught me looking at and had to kill him so I diddent have enough time to stop the bomb on the monorail.
About the interrogation quest, I had a very bad relationship with the legion, but I pretended that I was a emissary from Caesar and said that Caesar was furious with him and that I was there to kill him, then he started to say all the information that I need accidentally, the best part was when he tried to say to Boyd that I was a legion spy trying to kill him and he started begging for his life
thats an inteligence speech check, for that option to appear you need at least 8 or more intelligence points and honestly in my opinion its the most hilarious one
I love Fallout: New Vegas especially the branching story missions. I've played this mission before but damn Oxhorn, your playthrough and narration make watching this very exciting all over again. Excellent :-)
See, that's exactly what I was thinking.... Oxhorn's narration makes these Fallout quests even more enjoyable. :) New Vegas is also my favorite...just love the dark atmosphere, the music, and the characters.
MrNiceGuy couldn't agree more, mystery is why they couldn't get this right in Fallout 4, technically speaking F4 is better graphically but just couldn't capture the story elements of New Vegas.
@@AngeloSaim 100%. New Vegas has much better writing when it comes to quest story lines etc. While it cant use its graphics to world build as well as F4, it makes up for it with incredible writing.
Again, the divergence isn't a single event, so I think they went with a iconic Korean/50s era fighter jet to make the game feel realistic, buy by the 50's especially late 50s, America had already broken the sound barrier.
If there's one thing the Legion knows how to do, it's subterfuge. Seriously, the way the Frumentarii can disguise themselves and insert themselves into positions amongst their enemies for years, even decades, without notice is phenomenal. It's one of those things that makes you wonder how doomed mankind would be if the Legion's military presence were at least equal to the NCR's.
I am having a very bad day. When I have days like these I watch your videos, Oxhorn. You've got a great voice and you're super calming. Thank you for making these videos.
@Oxhorn Not sure why you didn't cover it here, but when interrogating silus theres is an option to PRETEND to work for the Legion if you have high intelligence and convince him that the Legion sent you to kill him before he can spill the beans. It was pretty interesting to watch in my playthrough and was hoping you would show that, not sure why you didn't. Even with that this was still a great video as always, keep up the good work.
As far as Silus is concerned, there's supposed to be a fourth option. You can fake being a legion member, and tell Silus that he was supposed to die. The fact that he didn't upsets Ceasar. he'll freak out and yell for the courel to help him! He'll talk.
Great video Oxhorn! I ordered your new shirt as well for my son. I realized that your new shirt is not only fallout related, but also related to real life,. With AI becoming more advanced and mainstream, it won’t be long before AI robot manufacturers will be using this slogan to promote their products!!
So me and a couple of buddies actually went to the real McCarren airport with our NCR soldier cosplays and went around saying things that random NCR NPCs say We got kicked out
I just LOVED interrogating that legion guy Boyd is a treat I was traveling with someone else and went and got Boone (just for fun) kinda wish we had more options to play up her “crazy” angle make faces at him through the glass press your face against it to freak him out
McCarran is a gold mine for quests, even some unmarked ones as well, the whole spy quest is a bit tricky at first but i figured out the best way to handle it, Eaves on Curtis, Kill Him then take the codes so you can deactivate the bomb in the vent without a skill check. for the record Boone approves of this course of action.
Aye, it's the Camp McCarran series! I always loved helping the NCR in these quests because something about the military atmosphere made me happy. Not sure why. Either way, happy to see this series and can't wait for the next episode! Awesome work Ox, very excited!
13:10 Farber: You can order up anything you want... As long as it's corn or beans! That's a reference to Ford Automobiles back when they told "You can buy your car in any color that you want, as long as it's in black!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Oxhorn, I’m replaying Fallout NV again after many years (I never originally finished it - long story). Anyway, thanks for these vids. I really enjoy seeing this “oldie but goodie” game played through by you.
In my game when I helped Boyd I pretended to be a legion member with my speech level then rubbed it in his face because of how easy it was to illude him he was so mad
It's funny how they the devs gave the guy with a legion name the most suspected position but the guy who was doing the espionage was just some random dude named Curtis
I get this is a game and not everything is life sized for the sack of budget and convenience, but man this is a small ass airport, just how exactly are these planes supposed to lift off when their is barely any space for the planes to speed up to fly at all?
Brandon Lyon my excuse is advanced technology or something, but fo4 had full runways. So I have no idea, probably just one of the not so important things
I was thinking more in the pre-war perspective, just how is this a functioning airport in the real world. The NCR air force seems to only be made up of helicopters which don't need the runways, but before the war this is supposed to be a conventional passenger airport yet their seems to be next to no space for the planes to lift off or even land for that matter without crashing into the wall.
Maybe those walls aren't pre-war maybe the walls were put up sometime after the war or maybe there was walls but they didn't go all the way around maybe they were added on to later to close up the base
There's a very long strip outside the wall. I'm thinking the walls are post-war. Maybe they used the machines from vault 21 to make them, similar to how they used them to make walls around Vegas.
There is another interesting way to get Silus to talk. If you have an intelligence of 8 or above, you can lie to him and convince him you are an agent of the legion. Complete with fluent Latin, you can threaten to kill him before he gives the NCR any information, and he will tell you what he knows by accident. I really loved it because of the time that Obsidian took to put correct Latin in to give it that extra immersion!
Ox thank you for doing this, three years since and i still use your videos as the pod cast of choice or to treat my restless nights, you should turn these into audibooks
I wouldn't know anything about the Fallout games and lore, aside from Fallout 4, if it wasn't for your channel. The way you present the multiple ways of completing the various quests is very interesting! Keep up the great work Oxhorn!
They should have swapped the back story of the male and female protagonists depending on who you chose. The sole survivor's skill only makes sense when the protagonist is a former soldier.
I am seriously amazed at all of the options for just one quest. This game is truly amazing... BTW, I talked with Curtis right after getting the quest and before I knew about the control tower situation from Boyd so I was still able to overhear the conversation and was luckily able to save the monorail. I had no idea how close I came to screwing that up :( Amazing video as always Oxhorn!!
Hey, Oxhorn! Keep up the great content mate, such unique and in depth view of things, loving those videos. Oh, and I dont know if someone already told you, but you don't need to actually pay for a passport to enter the Strip! It's only a credit check to see if you have 2k caps in your inventory, but the securitrons dont keep any. Cheers, mate!
Just now i realized i never subscribed to your channel, thank you so much for helping me understand almost everything in this massive game, first time i played it i never had any idea of any of this kind of missions. Thank you so much for helping me redisover such a jewel.
Strange. I had high rep with the Legion in my playthough and I spoke to Silus in Latin which translated to telling him that he is weak and is a traitor which made him think that I was a Legion assassin to get him in which Silus tells Boyd that I'm an agent to the Legion and it got him scared where he gives me info.
Tip: For Silus, if you want to speed up the fight, you can use some brass knuckles to do the job. One-two hits in the first part will get his health pass half. And in the second part, one hit and a maybe a few normal punches will finally make him talk. That if your unarmed is decent say 50-60.
He always could pull a Tyrion Lannister and tell each of his lieutenants about a different Supply route. then scout out where the Raiders are ready to attack, thus knowing who gave them the information.
I enjoy all three games, but New Vegas is my favorite. I used to hate 4 due to how vanilla it is at times, but there are a lot of things to like about it. ESPECIALLY Far Harbor
So what happens if you listen in on the conversation in the radio tower, but then run off to disarm the bomb without stealing the activation code? That sounds like the only way you could feasibly thwart the plan to blow up the monorail *and* catch the guy before he kills himself.
i like the fact that this mission locks you in the explosion of the train because you haven''t been cautious enough in not telling anyone (in this case Curtis) about the infiltration in the tower. That being said, when i did this mission, i had already made the one where vulpes sends you to protect the woman that the omertas were going to kill and i knew alredy that curtis was the spy, so i was hoping that there would be some way to uncover him to hsu after i told him that i was with the legion (actually not, i killed cesar and vulpes at that point), but it only told me about blowing the monorail myself and i couldn't use any of his materials as evidence.
Oxhorn, they're is another way to interrogate Silus. If you have a high enough intelligence, you can trick him into thinking you are part of the Legion. So he trusts you and he gives you the information.
I miss the part that you talk about the new radio dialogs that some missions unlock. In my last playthrough i forgot to listen to Curtis and rushed to the monorail just to see it explode and on top of it the Mr New Vegas kept reminding me of my mistake for the rest of the game.
i wish the airport had brighter lights..also i wish there was a player home(or something of that nature) near the airport..maybe an old passenger airplane
Fun fact: The NCR and the Enclave never saw eye to eye on issues since their establishment in the West coast. Longtime Fallout fans would know this despite the fact that both are founded on Old World principles.
Even if the monorail blows up you can eventually get it back after a while. The monorail came back in my game after hearing the ncr soldiers say that the monorail is back
Oxhorn I just completed the interigation part and if your character has 8 inteligence you can trick him into thinking you are working with Caesar and he will talk. He also gets really scared and its funny
"You can only gain access to the monorail if you have liked faction reputation" Ooooooor, if you steal a NCR suit of armor like I do, every playthrough 😂
Remember dont shoot the captain.if you shoot him well like you know it still the train is explode.if not you can tell the col.shu tell him "it was curtist" he said"i will send the man out there to captured him and send him to jail"and then mission succed
hi oxhorn, i love your video:) i think that in this case you missed something: when interrogating Silus you have a completly different speech option, in fact you can pretend to be a cesar legion assassin, so silus would confess in order to protect himself from cesar's revenge. :)
Oxhorn forgot to mention that if you wear an ncr uniform you can get past the guards. Easy way to get an ncr uniform is pickpocket the soldier on the bridge near primm Or in the second tent at the ncr camp near prim.
In the quest "Not Worth a Hill of Corn and Beans" there's a bug where if you pick "Can anything be done to improve your supplies?" it will make Fitz, and Ruby Nash never have the dialogue option to recruit them and finish the quest. Which means that the quest is dead before you even start.
You missed the inelegance checks to get info from him by convincing him you are a legion assassin! Though this may only be for male couriers because of the legions stance on women.
I can see Ceasar bending a few rules as long as they get results. The Legion has been around long enough for women to be completely indoctrinated in their beliefs. A female spy would be less suspicious in certain situations.

Yeah came here to say this. That is definitely my favorite method of handling him

Note for anyone watching: It is important to do this quest with the persuasion method (and get the info about Caesar's sickness) before attempting the Chief Hanlon quest "Return to Sender". This information is vital if you want the best possible outcome. Chief Hanlon will not be convinced the NCR has any chance of surviving unless you reveal to him the truth about the Legion's fatal weakness. Otherwise, you will have to kill Caesar yourself to get Chief Hanlon to see the error in his ways.
this is spoilers for the quest but..
When I confronted him and asked himself to turn himself he killed himself would convincing him with this quest do anything to that end?
If you don't find that out before confronting Hanlon, the only way to convince him to stop is to have a high Speech Skill.
I absolutely didn't know that, damn I did that mission months ago! :(
Sed yes it completely changes the outcome. Hanlon's chief problem was that he simply thought the NCR would tire out and lose to the ruthless, tireless Legion. He has a whole new set of dialogue if you have already interrogated the legion spy. He doesn't require any huge speech checks or anything and pretty much folds right away because he sees that he was wrong to assume the Legion was invincible.
I'd rather kill Caesar myself, it's really fun

With Old World Blues, Farber becomes an important merchant. He carries a huge stock of maize, and you can run that through the Biological Research Station to convert to salient green, then use the hot-plate to convert to xander root and Broc Flower - which you can turn into a slew of stimpacks.

This quest took me forever to finish, it kept glitching, as the spy wouldn't spawn at the time he's meant to.
Hey, Oxhorn! Keep up the great content mate, such unique and in depth view of things, loving those videos. Oh, and I dont know if someone already told you, but you don't need to actually pay for a passport to enter the Strip! It's only a credit check to see if you have 2k caps in your inventory, but the securitrons dont keep any.
Cheers, mate!
Just now i realized i never subscribed to your channel, thank you so much for helping me understand almost everything in this massive game, first time i played it i never had any idea of any of this kind of missions.
Thank you so much for helping me redisover such a jewel.
Strange. I had high rep with the Legion in my playthough and I spoke to Silus in Latin which translated to telling him that he is weak and is a traitor which made him think that I was a Legion assassin to get him in which Silus tells Boyd that I'm an agent to the Legion and it got him scared where he gives me info.
Lol all the soldiers with the runs using the latrine. Its 12:30 am and im dropping quite the deuce myself.
Tip: For Silus, if you want to speed up the fight, you can use some brass knuckles to do the job. One-two hits in the first part will get his health pass half. And in the second part, one hit and a maybe a few normal punches will finally make him talk. That if your unarmed is decent say 50-60.
He always could pull a Tyrion Lannister and tell each of his lieutenants about a different Supply route. then scout out where the Raiders are ready to attack, thus knowing who gave them the information.
Hey oxhorn congrats on 700,000 subs
the writing in the interrogation... flawless!!
When I did the prisoner quest, I stood outside the glass in my black ranger armor, pumping drugs and punching the glass
I never played any fallouts until your videos, now I have 3,nv, and 4 lol great video yet again, keep it up
Rocco 44 I had 4 and 3 before I watched ox then I recently got new Vegas a few months ago
I enjoy all three games, but New Vegas is my favorite. I used to hate 4 due to how vanilla it is at times, but there are a lot of things to like about it. ESPECIALLY Far Harbor
So what happens if you listen in on the conversation in the radio tower, but then run off to disarm the bomb without stealing the activation code? That sounds like the only way you could feasibly thwart the plan to blow up the monorail *and* catch the guy before he kills himself.
Boyd: "How about we skin him?"
Ox: "I'm in."
I actually really liked Boyd's sarcasm and wish she had gotten a bigger role, maybe with some backstory, and a couple of personal quests.
i like the fact that this mission locks you in the explosion of the train because you haven''t been cautious enough in not telling anyone (in this case Curtis) about the infiltration in the tower. That being said, when i did this mission, i had already made the one where vulpes sends you to protect the woman that the omertas were going to kill and i knew alredy that curtis was the spy, so i was hoping that there would be some way to uncover him to hsu after i told him that i was with the legion (actually not, i killed cesar and vulpes at that point), but it only told me about blowing the monorail myself and i couldn't use any of his materials as evidence.
Oxhorn, they're is another way to interrogate Silus. If you have a high enough intelligence, you can trick him into thinking you are part of the Legion. So he trusts you and he gives you the information.
I miss the part that you talk about the new radio dialogs that some missions unlock. In my last playthrough i forgot to listen to Curtis and rushed to the monorail just to see it explode and on top of it the Mr New Vegas kept reminding me of my mistake for the rest of the game.
"More beans, Colonel?" "I think y'all have had enough!" -Oh wait this is Camp McCarran and not the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles.
Sinapus yessssss! Thank you!!
I have played New Vegas for a long time and it never occurred to me to go speak with Farber, damn.
i wish the airport had brighter lights..also i wish there was a player home(or something of that nature) near the airport..maybe an old passenger airplane
Fun fact: The NCR and the Enclave never saw eye to eye on issues since their establishment in the West coast. Longtime Fallout fans would know this despite the fact that both are founded on Old World principles.
Even if the monorail blows up you can eventually get it back after a while. The monorail came back in my game after hearing the ncr soldiers say that the monorail is back
Oxhorn has blessed us once again with a great video. Thank the lord and saviour, Oxhorn.
Oxhorn I just completed the interigation part and if your character has 8 inteligence you can trick him into thinking you are working with Caesar and he will talk. He also gets really scared and its funny
You could use an Intelligence check during the interrogation with Silus and pretend that you're part of the Legion.
"Maybe you'd better step out for a moment, you've upset him! 🤭"
"Poor little fella 😚"
The sass had me chuckling 😆
The most unique way to deal with Silus in my opinion is to pose as a legion assassin
I hope you do lore and vault videos for the original CRPGs.
"You can only gain access to the monorail if you have liked faction reputation"
Ooooooor, if you steal a NCR suit of armor like I do, every playthrough 😂
It’s one of the easiest ways into the strip
Remember dont shoot the captain.if you shoot him well like you know it still the train is explode.if not you can tell the col.shu tell him "it was curtist" he said"i will send the man out there to captured him and send him to jail"and then mission succed
boomers and powder gangers don't EVER get along well... I guess they just have an *EXPLOSIVE* relationship.
BATMAN *IS A FAN OF PUNS*
I only have such a relation with powder gangers. The boomers are relatively close xD
In my playthrough I killed both of them
wow, good job kiddo. you should go speak to the old lady. in my experience, she loves jokes.
Im so happy when i see an oxhorn new vegas vid over an hour long, time to play fallout.
hi oxhorn, i love your video:) i think that in this case you missed something: when interrogating Silus you have a completly different speech option, in fact you can pretend to be a cesar legion assassin, so silus would confess in order to protect himself from cesar's revenge. :)
Honestly, I love the interrogation mission with Silus. The centurions are fucking scary, dude.
"Hey what if we skinned him. Wouldn't be so smug then." Sums up the NCR completely
Oxhorn forgot to mention that if you wear an ncr uniform you can get past the guards. Easy way to get an ncr uniform is pickpocket the soldier on the bridge near primm
Or in the second tent at the ncr camp near prim.
Republic to the left, Legion to the right, here he is, stuck in McCarran with Hsu.
49:48 the light wasn't there for me either thought I had a problem and came to see what oxhorn did
I didn’t know that you could disarm the bomb, thanks for more information
In the quest "Not Worth a Hill of Corn and Beans" there's a bug where if you pick "Can anything be done to improve your supplies?" it will make Fitz, and Ruby Nash never have the dialogue option to recruit them and finish the quest.
Which means that the quest is dead before you even start.
You missed the inelegance checks to get info from him by convincing him you are a legion assassin! Though this may only be for male couriers because of the legions stance on women.
The Sand Boxer well Caesar let's women join him despite his doctrines
I have never seen a female legionnaire or legion assassin.
Ceasar will let you join if female. Not others.
I can see Ceasar bending a few rules as long as they get results. The Legion has been around long enough for women to be completely indoctrinated in their beliefs. A female spy would be less suspicious in certain situations.
I can see why you haven’t gotten any of the intelligence checks.
I see that 1 MIL mark coming up. Keep it up Ox!
sweet a video for camp mccarren
I could swear I have made it in time to save the monorail after talking with the colonel. I will have to try it again now.
The cook at Camp McCarran's cooking is a chilli and a sigh away from a Johnny Longbow stew
I've been waiting for a series over this location :D
I searched for a bomb on that train at least 5 times and never found a thing. It’s not the first time I underestimate this game.
Sorry I’m a little late but still love the vid and I’m so happy that we can all see more of the maceran airport
