Joining The Kings

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 6:29 pm

I've been looking around here and on the wiki, but I haven't really found an answer yet, so I'll ask it here. I did some jobs for The King and got him to do me a favor. I really wanted to get into The Strip, so I asked for a pass. I just figured I'd be able to join The Kings later on, because I also wanted that. However, after completing the game (the main quest at least) I'm still not able to join. Have I blown my chance by not asking membership as The King's favor? Or is there any other way to join besides that one quest?

Thanks!

You shouldn't have; you can get the fake passport from Mick & Ralph's for 700 caps (or something like that) with a successful speech 50 check. I don't think you can join in any other way.

PS: learn to play caravan, and you'll never have problems with caps!

Yeah, I've been wondering about this, too. I had decided that the money was the best reward from the King since you can use half of it to get a counterfeit passport and he told me I could join once I was more popular. I haven't found a way to join. Do you have to be idolized by Freeside or something?

I waited to use the favor for the NCR violence thingy, still haven't been offered to become a member yet.

I'm idolized in Freeside but they still don't want me, so I'm guessing I missed my shot. The only logical consequence is sending them all to hell, let's see who's the King then.

His favor is the only way.

I think joining them gives you the option of giving New Vegas to The King, which is just about the best 'good' ending you can get.

So what would you have to do to accomplish that?

Edit: In a new game I mean, I know I can't join in my current anymore.

I haven't finished the game, but I believe...

Do the Yes Man stuff, then just favor The Kings. I've seen someone in board say you can make them take over New Vegas by being a King and doing that. Even if you don't officially give power to The King, Yes Man asks you to choose who's going to rule (in a way) the New New Vegas, so from a RP perspective, it's about the same. I'm guessing the slides in the ending would give you something more conclusive.
