I traveled to all locations...nothing happened. Also I did most of the quests listed there before I took Veronica with me.
Most of those locations she just has to be there..the quest is not important.
Like just walking around Nipton or Nelson, Cottonwood....Van Graffs in Vegas. ..or talking to the doctor in the old Mormon Fort.
I couldn't get her quest to start...where in a previous playthrough as soon as we hit Freeside for the first time it popped up. This last time it took four hours in RL time to figure out all I had to do walk into the the Silver Rush and exit for her dialogue to start.
I noticed when I first went into the SR..she didn't follow..went out to get her...dialogue...went back in..she's still not there...went back outside...dialogue...went back in and she was there this time and she said something about the weapons and bam her quest started !
