Im not sure if this has already been asked but i wanted to know if factions like "Powder Gangers" come back if you kill them all. For example i just gone into the prision and killed everyone. Will they respawn or is that it there dead for good?

Little enemies on the road respawn but faction bases do not. Once you've killed them all they are gone for good.

thanks

I cleared out Camp... Forlon Hope?... Yeah I think that's the name.
Anyway, I cleared out that place for Dead Sea.
I felt really good about myself.
Went way.
After a couple of in game days I though to myself "I wonder if it actually stayed cleared out..."
Went back.
There they were.
Respawned.
/rage

I be annoyed if that happened to me, I dont like the powder gangers so ive killed alot of them including eddie. If he respawns i wont be happy

It would be a pain in the back to kill them all again would it? :banghead:

I dislike that they respawned because they said "there are 2200 npc's in the game you can kill all but one". Yeah right, if they respawn then I haven't killed them now have I?
So I really liked that I would be able to slaughter and entire settlement or outpost and then have it stay a ghost town.
This was no the case with Camp Forlon Hope...
And what's the point to slaughter an entire place and roleplay as a genocidal mass murderer if none of my actions actually leaves an impact?
I haven't tried my genocide role yet but if they respawn after I've murdered them I'm going to be pissed off.

Secretly there is a vault underneath the prison with an autocloning facility.

Must be, judging by the numbers of Powder Gangers I've killed and the number of beds in the prison......

Did the same, but fast traveled there to go speak with the BoS scout.... started taking fire as soon as I was done loading. Needless to say they were disciplined for their lack of vision.
