Black Widow Perk Gone Horriably wrong.

Post » Sun Dec 12, 2010 2:15 am

I was playing a Girl Character and I confronted Benny at the tops casino While talking, my black widow perk kept advancing the conversation, it seemed that it was going to get Benny to hand the chip over without having to go through the double cross he normally pulls. Then things took a nasty left turn. Next thing I know were in his room we start to get INTEMIT! :o Oh god he had me shake my Charlies, He called them Charlies! Of corse I killed him in his sleep took the platinum Chip and the cried :cry: all the way to Cottonwood cove.

1: Yep, that's the sequence of events with Benny + Black Widow- and if you actually read the text, it's not Benny harassing you- you have to talk him into it.

2: So what about this normal vanilla-game occurrence warrants placing this thread in DLC General Discussion rather than New Vegas General Discussion? (Or better, Cheats, Hints, and Spoilers?)

People got used to having the regular game forums on top, and they don't look at the name of the forum.

I'll move this.

It's okay, you'll get over it. The person it went horribly wrong for was Benny. Horribly wrong for you would have been after it was done, you couldn't open Benny's door. Thats how it went for me. I searched everything in his room, exhausted all the dialog options with yes man and every other thing I could think of. I had to TCL to get out, though my companions had no problem opening the door. Oh yeah, the whole time we were doing it my companions stood there watching. I wonder if ED E recorded it. Hmmmm, possible new revenue stream there. I bet a snuff film would sell well in the NV wasteland.

I used Black Widow on Benny and thought that it was hilarious! I did, however, turn off my game and shower afterward. :) six IS A WEAPON.

I was glas to see it. How can you have a perk called black widow and not do that at least once? Hats off to Obsidian.

Yeah, gotta hand it to Obsidian. That was a great twist. Unfortunately, the main plot didn't have a twist like fallout 3 did,

To me, it seemed the most appropriate ending for Benny. It just fits.

Unfortunatly, my male character instead got locked in a hotel suite and attacked by men in nice suits.

Damn you black widow!

I usually have a high enough Speech skill to convince him to lose the bodyguards and we go to the suite at the same time, as I just know he'll do a runner (not that I've ever chosen the other way).
On another character I started the Black Widow lines then ended up reloading as my character just doesn't do that, especially not with him :sick: No matter how much she wanted that chip. She'd rather run naked and weaponless through Quarry Junction dodging Deathclaws :laugh:
I didn't get that far with my male character, but it'd be interesting if Confirmed Bachelor worked on him :laugh: Although I'd likely not follow through with that, either.
