So I've been toying around with the idea of planting C4 on everyone on the strip and then pressing the button. If I move from strip to strip does the inventory stay the same on people or does it change? This is something that is going to take me HOURS and I just wanted to make sure that I could actually pull it off before I do it.

I'm pretty sure that trying to detonate all that C4 across the different sections of New Vegas won't work. You can probably do one section at a time but not all at once.

Maybe it's just because my computer svcks, but I've noticed that when I go into an area where I've previously killed things, their bodies start off in the air and fall to the ground as the area loads. This indicates to me that the game doesn't keep track of what's going on in each area besides the state you left it in and the basic schedules of NPCs.

I could be way off, but I doubt your plan would work.

I thought this thread meant something COMPLETELY different
