Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas Without Talking To Victor? (in text form)
Victor is similar to Benny in that without him, your game doesn’t begin. If Victor didn’t find you and take you to Doc Mitchell, you’d be dead. Despite that, he doesn’t really have that large of a role to play in the game itself. Names don’t matter, SPECIAL stats don’t matter, the skills I chose and traits I picked don’t matter. Get what you can from Doc Mitchell’s house, open the door to the world, and there goes the big metal man himself, Victor.
You could just avoid him, but the better option is to blow his ass up a grenade launcher until he goes to the big scrap yard in the sky. With his body looted and thoroughly disrespected, you might be thinking that that’s it. Victor is dead, but he’s not dead. He’s like Cell or that little dog from My Dog Skip that gets whacked with a shovel. Things that should kill him do not. He’s a survivor. It’s almost like he’s the main character of his own game and you’re the villain. No matter how many times you end him, he respawns again and again.
But we can break his spirit enough to make suicide seem like a heavenly paradise. Step 1: Enter Frankie’s Guns & Ammo, murder everyone inside, take their weapons and armor for yourself, and head towards the Strip. You’ll want as many weapons and skills as you can get, because you’re (we’re? I am) assaulting the Strip. Getting through Deathclaw Canyon is boring and unnecessary. I instead took the train tracks like I did in past lives, end some Powder Gangers, blow up a family of Brahmin, fail at ending a handicapped Deathclaw, and blew up the neighborhood youth who always disrespected me.
Before long, I found myself not that far ahead because it’s only been a few minutes. I went ahead and ended the lives of a few Legion recruits, the Salad King will forgive himself for every allowing his peasants to be close enough to me to be annoying. One of the few places Victor will always show up at, as long as certain things in the game haven’t been done, is Novac. Store your used bullets in his body for safe keeping, transact business with the shopkeep inside the dinosaur, and the Strip is for reals our next stop.
There are a handful of places where you can encounter Victor on your way to the Strip. As far as I know, having done no research into this whatsoever, there is not a way to force Victor to show up at any of these places. Sometimes he’ll show up if you’re near Powder Gangers, I’ve had him show up just after leaving Boulder City. I showed him who’s boss by condemning him to an eternity at the bottom of a lake where he’ll be fully conscious of what’s happening. This time, I didn’t find him in my misadventures towards the Strip. He didn’t come to the aid of the civilians at 188 Trading Post. He didn’t help a supposed hero in their hour of need. He did not care. Inside Freeside, I thought for a moment about how to proceed. On a technical level, Victor can transfer himself between any securitron upon being killed, so any securitron can be Victor, therefore talking to any of them is like talking to Victor. That’s why I killed them all guarding the entrance to the Strip.
