The one unkillable character?

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:06 pm

I remember the devs mentioning "Every npc except for one is killable" (excluding kids) Has anybody found this person?

You can't kill Victor in the beginning, but you can later. But I think that the character you really can't kill is Lanius, because you can't kill him until the very very end of the game. You don't see him until that time, but that's the whole point. He's Caesar's second-in-command and if you did have a chance to kill him before the end, they'd have to come up with a third-in-command, then a fourth-in-command, and so on and so on, and make ending slides for each of them.

You can't kill E-DE

Not because the game won't let you, but because he is so awesome no one would ever want to be rid of him.

It's Yes Man. He just gets right back up every time.

Yes, I'm assuming this is it. All of the previous npcs mentioned are killable.

I don't think so, just because Obsidian said they only made the particular NPC unkillable because killing him caused issues in the game. I don't kill killing the Gun Runner's robot would cause issues...

I've even tried clipping into the gun runners' kiosk and shooting him and typing kill in the console. Neither work.

That doesn't necessarily mean he's unkillable, because you can't "kill" Festus either, despite being able to talk to him.

I'm not trying to disagree with you I just think it's a little weird that being able to kill that particular robot somehow screwed up the game...

Oh no, not disagreeing with you, just saying.

Also, Festus is a bit different as he isn't a living npc.

I thought it was Victor, he said something along the lines of if he gets destroyed he just hops into another bot and carries on.

I think that either the devs were being deliberately obscure by referencing Victor/Yes man seeing as you can technically kill the securitron their in but the code still lives on so they just take over another securitron, or that it was originally going to be Mr. House or Caesar or some other big character in the game but later changed their minds.

I wish a dev would hop on here and just clear this whole argument up for us.... it would be alot easier that way. but i havent been able to kill the gun runners securitron. He even came out of his booth when i started masacreing the gun runners, and a health bar never even poped up despite how much i shot him

As soon as you first leave his house you can go right back in and kill him with whatever weapon you like.

Then I guess that rules out Yes Man & Victor if going by that logic?
