Victor... A Companion? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:04 pm

Earlier as I was playing on a new playthrough since I can't beat the game ATM, I encountered Victor outside of Goodsprings and I tried to talk to him and it gave me.. A COMPANION WHEEL?

Was he to be some sort of companion which was semi-cut out? :cryvaultboy:

Do I smell a loophole??

It's a known glitch.

Damn. I was hoping he would have been a cut-off Companion..

But to this guy, It was unknown.. But why does he have a Companion Script?

here's the wiki bug blurb about it:

If Victor is killed when you wake up after the cutscene at the start of the game and travel to Novac he, when talked to, will have a companion wheel instead of the regular conversation. You cannot do anything with him as he does not move unless you or he get attacked but you can open his inventory. (only one occurrence)

Might have something to do with him being a "temporary Companion" (According to the wiki.)

Actually he never died.
EDIT: Oh, And I just walked right out of Goodsprings for the first time.

During an early battle, he counts as a companion to save your backside and kinda push the big-brother element to his spying on you.

Also, after the recent patch that gave companions a map marker, despite me having taken over the Lucky 38 (which causes Victor to disapear) I have a victor map marker near that Quarry with the Deathclaws and the Khan camp nearby. It is very weird. I thought maybe he might be there, so I went to that spot (it was tricky, because it was kind of up hills you are barely able to even get up) and once I got there, the marker went away. Crazy [censored] going down.

What patch? Is this pc only thing?
