spreading murder and joy across the wasteland

Who do you think is the one person you cannot kill?

We know it's not ceaser because in the "factions" video you can see the courier talking with the guy.
and theres a big change it's mr. house neither due to the fact you can meet him if you work with him.
Which leads two likely canidates

the NCR president Kimball.
and
Benny(the guy who shot your character) will surely die aswell unless he's killed by other means which would count as you not killing him.


two part question:

Will nameless NPCs respawn if you kill them same as fallout3 or will they stay dead forever making it possible to literally kill everyone almost.

As far as Generic NPCs, it all depends on the Cell. In some Cells they will respawn, in some they won't.

I won't speculate on the one you can't kill.

It didnt make any sense in FO3

Nameless groups such as talon mercs, raiders, BOS, the outcast and enclave would respawn

but others like the regulators and megaton settlers would stay dead.

Im hoping that all nameless NPCS can and will respawn in NV.

They say the reason one of them is essential is story-based, so my guess? House. One of them, anyway.*

And my guess is that the only reason he's essential is because you can't kill talking activators. The guy is in all likelihood a huge germophobe, and is merely using the computer to pull a Wizard Of Oz on us. Pay no attention to the man behind the ZAX.

*You can probably kill the human House (if you can find him), but the activator House will probably just go silent if you do that- it can't die.

I'm guessing the Hanged man, if indeed he is in the game.

The dude's been hung, burned alive and chucked into the grand canyon. I doubt mere bullets will be enough to stop him.

trouble with FO3 is that lots of characters NOT tied to the main quest were essential and wouldn't die too. Shrapnel (or was it Flack), some others. NPCs tied to side and unmarked quests should be killable, with the net result that you just can't complete that sidequest.

Thinking about it, characters essential to the main quest should be killable too. Killed the man who is the only person who can get you to Benny? Tough, you won't do that next time, will you? lol

Thats the thing that worries me

Im afraid if i side with NCR over CL i wont be able to do any of the assassin mission for vulpes unless NCR also has a man who gives out contracts which i highly doubt.

Instead of vulpes why not have an assassins guild similar to dark brotherhood whos leader asks you to perform devious deeds.

No you have not.

According to the Wiki, the unkillable NPC is Yes-Man, as he is "essential"

You can definitely kill both of them.

The one unkillable NPC as far as I know is Vendortron.


Apparently (though I'm yet to try it myself) you can punch him through the glass. If so, it's not him either.

I guess it's probably Yes-Man, as his AI just jumps to another Securitron if you kill him.
