Say you've completed the game and whatever faction you sided with now rules over New Vegas and Nevada but imagine you are in charge of that faction. What are some schemes, plans or things you would do once you were in charge?


I, for one, would begin 'Pest containment and removal' teams that would ensure that Deathclaws and other such threats do not spread from their current locations (shooting stray ones on the perimeters) and slowly begin to wipe them out.

I'd also set plans to rebuild several roads around New Vegas to allow easier movement and get automobiles and carts up and running so people can travel much easier from place to place. It would boost the economy greatly.

Also seems to be plenty of raw materials strewn about that could be used to repair some of those buildings. Why do people sleep on the street when there are buildings everywhere?

I'll also start cleaning up, from the rubble to the tin cans. It'll give people something to do.

get rid of the Omertas immediately.

clean up freeside.(have my securitrons monitor the area)

start up trade routes with other settlements, namely the NCR

open up more casinos on the strip

wipe out the fiends

and kill the deathclaws blocking one of the main routes to vegas. less routes equals less trade

I'm going to open a pie and sandwich shop and hire the nice lady that makes venom pies in Primm to work there. There is nowhere to eat in NV that I've found other than the casinos.

This.

needs actual bars and restaurants. we cant all afford the gourmand

also, i would make it illegal to play Johnny guitar on the radio

I can't stand waste, i'd open a junkyard IRL because i don't like seeing things go to waste. It's not just the junk, i see a lot of different resources wasted in FNV, human resources, poorly defended farms, functional robots that can't be reprogrammed.

Negotiate with whatever remnants of Caesar's army might remain, as in: "You have 48 hours to get moving East before I give The Fort to the Boomers as a bombing range and encourage them to practice often."

Notfiy the Boomers to wait 48 hours, then sterilize the Fort. Next, negotiate regular air patrols with an onboard (unarmed) Securitron for communication. Yes, I know, Goodsprings is too far for direct communication. But- with a Securitron onboard, a pass near New Vegas can relay communication of sightings faster than landing at Nellis and sending a runner.

Negotiate with NCR: Under what conditions they will be allowed to trade with my territory, and what taxes any of them who wish to stay in (or operate in) said territories will pay. Allow free passage for removal of their military from my lands on a "so long as none of your people start anything" basis. Any resistance or grumbling will be met with the question "Would you like the deal I offered what's left of the Legion? It can be arranged..." Continued military presence open to negotiation, but not as "occupying force." Troops need R&R, Vegas New or Old is R&R.

Begin cleanup and renewal operations, setting up committees and local governments as appropriate- for instance, the Kings and Followers in Freeside. Kings working security patrol and cleanup, Followers on workforce coordination and medical. Interfere as necessary to initiate a workable balance, though I honestly don't see much necessity- The King seems to have the right basic idea already for the most part.

Sin City, right? Solve Fiend problem by alliance with Great Khans, Fiend cleanout sweep, Khans granted "recreational chemical" concessions for entire area. Begin "rehabilitation" of encouraging med production, coordinating with Followers.

Bring in more small businesses on the Strip, as has already been mentioned in other posts.

Make very harsh examples of senior Omertas and radical White Gloves, let their replacements know they are on a very short leash and being watched.

Initiate relations with Jacobstown. (Gourmand now serves best Bighorner Steak on the Strip, any Mutants willing to talk first rather than shoot offered directions to a nice welcoming home. Long-term goal, mutant-friendly Strip. Expanded, jointly-run Westside/Jacobstown co-op?)

Locate Tabitha, boost Black Mountain transmitter range- Best Friend Tabitha show = potential gold mine.

I would reprogram Mr. New Vegas to sound like Three Dog.

I would reprogram all Securitrons to sound like Three Dog.

I would replace Johnny Guitar with Butcher Pete.

I would make the entire Strip one huge casino, complete with a bar, restaurant, actual hotel rooms.

Nothing would be overpriced by 4 caps; everything would be base value.

It would be a utopia.

Also, I would annex Freeside, renovate it, kick out the Van Graffs, and replace the Omertas with the Kings.

I would find and disassemble all the Fat Man nukes possible, then mail the new device to the NCR. Then in the inevitable confusion that would arise in that situation, I would seize control of the NCR.

Ah, one more thing: I would use the power of the Sun to set all of my enemies ablaze.

I would then spend many caps setting up some sort of Turbo backpack type device, so I would always move much faster than any would be assassins.

Just to start with...

I would use the money generated from the casinos to organize (and pay) the poverty stricken of the Mohave into work groups. A "Works Progress Administration"

One group would be responsible for civil pacification and security. The strong and able bodied would be formed into large militarized units whose job it would be to, in conjunction with formal or professional military, systematically eradicate abominable creatures and gangs from the countryside.

The second would be comprised of farmers, tradesmen, and various other forms of specialized labor. They would farm, gather resources, educate, organize trade guilds, build, rebuild, and CLEAN baby CLEAN.

Once you didn't need an AMT to take a walk and get something to eat, we'de go from there.

hokers, and booze :celebration: Good thing I'm not the head of Vegas

People do realise that clothing is not just vanity, the weather and covering your shame? It's a really bad sign when no-one puts any care into their appearance, it's not just a breakdown in civilisation, they're communicating that they have no interest in anything anymore. It's been over 200 years, stop acting traumatised refugees, you people are native to the wastelands. I don't think any other civilisation in the past had the luxury of moping around ruined cities for 200 years, they had too many other things to focus on, and a later generations wouldn't know any other way.



There's hokers and booze everywhere, those neon lights must add something to them

If I was the head of NV I would put Fisto in charge of prisoner interrogations.

I cringe at that whirring sound, it can't be healthy.

I'd rather Mr.House be the head honcho, while I take care of the details he would likely not worry about.

Things I'd do to Las Vegas:

The city itself would be built around with an actual wall, IE scavenged brick and the like to make it look more 'pre-war'.

Slowly work with,if any are alive, Pre-War mechanics like Raul to get McCarran Airport at 50% minimal function and establish a reliable air transit system for NCR citizens that can afford it, that way all one needs to do is fly into a safe and fortified airport and ride a safe monorail to The Strip, no threat of raiders or anything.

Replace the Omertas with a few Kings, their roll in Freeside would be lessened since Securitrons could be allocated as an effective police force, the kings being suave but honorable could become a new Family.

Slowly renovate the streets and shops to be clean, safe, and friendly.

Establish a firm criminal punishment system: Theft to any degree will serve 5 years minimal, more pending on the item or items if per 100 cap value level) sixual assaults and murders will be punished with death. The reason for this harsh system is to discourage criminal behavior.

The Followers would be given as much funding as deemed needed to establish Pre-War medical care.


I-15 would be thoroughly cleansed of any and all threats to travellers. Pre-War military trucks would be used to swiftly and safely carry passengers who could not afford air fare.

kill everyone and everything except for fisto and i would be happy

In other words, you would make New Vegas Hell on earth? :cryvaultboy:

Looksl ike you mispelled paradise and put hell in there. Don't worry, I fixed hat for you :wink_smile:

I'd quickly start on focusing on the weaknesses in potential rival factions: the NC, BOS and Caesar's Legion. For the BOS and to a lesser degree, the NCR, I'd use Yes Man to start up a cybernetic warfare division. I'd also make Nellis AFB a high priority and see if I couldn't raise some form of air force, especially combined with any BOS airships and Vertibirds I could requisition. High-tech warfare against Caesar's Legion would be both unnecessary and useless, and I'd instead look into targeting their largest resource: slaves. Caesar's legion seems to live in densely populated and unsanitary conditions, so some form of disease: be it similar to president Eden's waterborne plague, some form of FEV, new plague or ghoulification variant, I can't say.

For a standing army, I'd probably start renovating local factories to start pumping out more securitrons, and possibly use the Followers to create cybernetic and/or "platoon leaders" to help better control the securitron army. Basically, the best parts of the Enclave and Unity with none of that pesky "evil" stuff.

Once all major threats to the region are out of the way, I'd capitalize on House's dreams and start up the first post-war space program, potentially using robots, ghouls and super mutants to to colonize the moon!

Reprogram "Yes Man" and rename the Lucky 38 to Base Cochise. Then leave town.

You have 2k caps with you, of course you can afford gourmand.

First thing I do is to build a Strip south gate...........

Firstly, make all the Enclave remnants my right hand personels.
Send ED-E out back to the Capital Wasteland and get all the survivors there, bring them back here.
Then.. Try do something near impossible, strike unity between the Enclave and the Brotherhood, put Arcade Gannon and Elder Lyons Jr. as the leaders, starting a new chapter for both organisations in the Mojave, a hybrid between the Brotherhood and the Enclave, a superpower, hungry for Pre-War and unseen technology.
Give the remainder of the Legion and NCR 3 choices, Join us, Leave us or Fight us.
Arcade controlling economic issues as Sarah Lyons controlling warfare issues.
Wipe out all who oppose, and offer the Followers, Khans, Kings, the Chairman, petty gangs and the Boomers allegiances.
Banish the Van Graffs.
Jacobstown strike allegiance and get the full treatment for their nightkin and trade routes are opened up all over the wasteland
Kill the Omertas, the White Glove Society and the Fiends for their corruption towards the American nation.
*BTW i'm Irish not a US patriot*
Give the Followers McCarran airport.
The Khans Red Rock and Mojave Outpost.
Kings all of Freedside.
The Chairman own the Strip.
And the Boomers are fine the way they are but get whatever they want off the Brotherhood or Enclave.





And last but not least.. Three Dogg!!! Owwwwwwwwwwww!!! Galaxy News Radio moves to Mojave

1. Use my army and secure the wasteland.

2. Clean up Freeside, Westside, and North Vegas.

3. Kick out NCR civilians for the time being.

4. Kill the Kings.

5. Secure the trade routes.

6. Build Condos, Shops, and Restauraunts on the strip.

7. Fight off NCR invasions.

8. Invade the NCR.

I'd also help fund the Followers of the Apocalypse and help them turn themselves into some form of university to help teach people science and medicine. These skills are essential for the future.

I'd also set up negotiations with Jacobstown to help integrate them into larger society. Even if they want us to leave them alone mostly I would accept that as long as there is better peace between the two.

I would also focus my efforts on getting rid of the fiends from the Wasteland too.

To improve the ghettos of Westside and Freeside I would provide different jobs for people of those communities which should lessen poverty and crime. People in freeside will be offered to help make basic medical equipment and supplies to help increase health across the Wasteland and Westside would be offered the jobs of helping craft new, basic clothing which will prevent some illness caused by wearing the same old dirty clothes.

In the Thorn I would place new rules that it can continue as it is but human participants are not allowed as we don't need more injuries and people dying.

All casinos would have to put their money together and donate some into a large pot which goes towards rebuilding certain areas.

Nipton would be mended and changed into a library/museum to help educate people of the waste (they cant' take books out but can read as much as they want there)
