FSRotfaceDontGiveCap | Sorry, maybe another time. | Neutral 50 | I understand. Well, have a good day. | 1 |
FSRotfaceGiveCap | Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | The first thing you should know is that Freeside is run by a pack of yahoos that call themselves the Kings. | 2 |
Neutral 50 | Their leader, who oddly enough calls himself the King, currently has his hands full trying to prevent an all-out riot in Freeside. | 3 | ||
Neutral 50 | That's two tips, but what the hell. You're a new customer so the extra one's on me. Wanna hear another? | 4 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Northwest of the big Freeside sign is a casino called the Atomic Wrangler. | 5 | |
Neutral 50 | It's not as fancy as the ones on the Strip, but there's still plenty of excitement to be found there. | 6 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | At the northwest end of Fremont Street you'll find the Silver Rush. It's run by a rather scary family called the Van Graffs. | 7 | |
Neutral 50 | Trust me, these are {stressed} not people you want to mess with. But if lasers and such are your thing, the goods they sell are second to none. | 8 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | People in Freeside generally fall into one of two categories. Those who've been here all their lives call themselves Locals. | 9 | |
Neutral 50 | When people from the NCR and other places started pouring in, the Locals began referring to them as Squatters, and the name stuck. | 10 | ||
Neutral 50 | The Locals blame the Squatters for the scarcity of resources in Freeside, and the Squatters blame any act of violence against them on the Locals. | 11 | ||
Neutral 50 | They're both right to some extent, and violent outbreaks between the two are all too common these days. | 12 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | If you've been around the Kings, you may have met one of them named Pacer. He's always stomping around trying show off his authority. | 13 | |
Neutral 50 | Being new, you weren't around when it happened, but a few months ago Pacer pissed off the Van Graff family big time. | 14 | ||
Neutral 50 | No one knows what went down, but word is the Van Graffs still want him dead. | 15 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Drugs are everywhere in Freeside, and even people you might not expect have become addicts. | 16 | |
Neutral 50 | Jacob Hoff, for instance. That man was a brilliant chemist before he picked up the habit. Now, just another junkie. | 17 | ||
Neutral 50 | That King Pacer's a fan of Jet, too, though I heard one of the Followers talking about it being dangerous for him. Something about his heart. | 18 | ||
Neutral 50 | Do yourself a favor, and stay away from that stuff, okay? | 19 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | In the area between the north and east gates is the Old Mormon Fort, where the Followers of the Apocalypse have set themselves up. | 20 | |
Neutral 50 | The Followers aren't a bad bunch, and provide healing and supplies to the people of Freeside as they can. | 21 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | I've heard the Garrets over at the Atomic Wrangler are having a hard time collecting some money owed to them. | 22 | |
Neutral 50 | An enterprising person like yourself might be able to make some caps helping them with their little problem. | 23 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Caught a rumor the other day that some of the clientele over at the Wrangler have been making some rather strange requests. | 24 | |
Neutral 50 | Stuff like weirdos wanting the, ahem, services of ghouls and such. I almost have half a mind to volunteer myself, sexy beast that I am. | 25 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Have you tried going to the Strip, only to be stopped by those big metal murder machines? Happens every day around here. | 26 | |
Neutral 50 | But if you know the right people, you can get through the gate without being a rich man. | 27 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | I probably don't have to tell you that Freeside's dangerous, but you might want to think twice about hiring one of those guards at the gates. | 28 | |
Neutral 50 | They're not all saints, is all I'm saying. | 29 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Have you been to Mick & Ralph's yet? They run a store just down the street, and sell some things you might not expect. | 30 | |
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | There's a guy out on the main drag who sells second hand adventuring gear. He's got an okay selection, but where does it come from? | 31 | |
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | He might not look it, but Ralph from Mick & Ralph's is no slouch with a keyboard. I've heard he's helped reprogram several robots in his time. | 32 | |
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Saw a strange thing the other day. The King took that robo-dog of his over to the Old Mormon Fort. | 33 | |
Neutral 50 | Weird thing was that the dog was flipping out, and had to be restrained by a few of the King's men. Hope he doesn't get loose. | 34 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Things have generally been bad here for the Squatters, the people who came here hoping for a better life and just got stuck. | 35 | |
Neutral 50 | But lately the mood has changed. The Squatters seem to be a bit more optimistic. I wonder what happened? | 36 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Mention the NCR and people around here get a little on edge. There's talk that they're going to take over all of New Vegas. | 37 | |
Neutral 50 | It doesn't help that they've got military camps all over the place, and more troops pour into the area daily. | 38 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | There's a rumor that a huge army is camped to the east, massing to attack the NCR. Like that'd ever happen. | 39 | |
Neutral 50 | Who in the world could stand up to the NCR and win? | 40 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | While everyone knows Mr. House runs New Vegas, no one knows the first thing about him. | 41 | |
Neutral 50 | He just sort of showed up a few years back, and everything you see around you is the result. Just who in the hell is he? | 42 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | The Strip is run by the Three Families, who owe their allegiance to Mr. House. | 43 | |
Neutral 50 | When he first showed up, he gave the local tribes the choice of working with him or getting the hell out of his way. | 44 | ||
Neutral 50 | Given how things turned out, I know which way I'd have gone, but hindsight's twenty-twenty, right? | 45 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | The Omertas, one of Mr. House's Three Families, run a casino called Gomorrah on the Strip. | 46 | |
Neutral 50 | If you thought the Wrangler was something, you owe it to yourself to go there. | 47 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | The Chairmen run a casino on the Strip called the Tops. It's a pretty classy place, by all reports. | 48 | |
Neutral 50 | I haven't been there myself, but I hear security there is kinda tight. Don't expect to bring your weapons in there. | 49 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | There was a rumor a while back that the White Glove Society was really an all-ghoul gang, which is why they wear those weird masks of theirs. | 50 | |
Neutral 50 | What do you think, would I look good in a mask? Maybe I'd make more caps... | 51 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | A traveler that passed through here not long ago told everyone he met that there's some kind of plant paradise to the west where food is abundant. | 52 | |
Neutral 50 | All the people foolish enough to listen to him and head out that way never came back. | 53 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Ever hear of the Gun Runners? They sell just about every kind of firearm you can imagine, and some you probably couldn't. | 54 | |
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | I've heard people passing through mention some kind of underground fights pitting creatures of the waste against one another for sport. | 55 | |
Neutral 50 | And when I say "underground," that's their word I'm using, not my own. | 56 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | East of Freeside there's an old air force base, judging by the road signs. | 57 | |
Neutral 50 | No one knows for sure what's in there, though, on account of anyone approaching the place getting violently blown up. | 58 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | I heard something about a town south of here being attacked, but details are sketchy. All I know is there haven't been any refugees showing up here. | 59 | |
Neutral 50 | Which means either the attack wasn't too bad, or it was very, very bad. | 60 | ||
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | Traders have been griping for a while now about the 15 being too dangerous to travel. I'd steer clear of it unless you're armed to the teeth. | 61 | |
Sure, here you go. | Neutral 50 | The NCR used to run a prison to the southwest, but something happened a little while back, and now all you'll get is hard looks if you ask about it. | 62 | |
FSRotfaceSoliciting | Are you soliciting me? | Neutral 50 | Ha ha ha, oh that's rich. You're not exactly my type, no offense. No, I meant I could give you a tip. Earn my money, so to speak. | 63 |
FSRotfaceWhatKindofTip | What kind of tip? | Neutral 50 | You look like you're new around here, so I'm sure I know all sorts of things you'd find useful. If not, well, it's only a cap. | 64 |
Neutral 50 | So what do you say? | 65 | ||
GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey buddy, spare a cap? I can make it worth your while. | 66 |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey pal, spare a cap? | 67 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Ah, my favorite customer. Got a cap for me? | 68 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey pal, you dig my new hat? I've been making some good money lately, and figured I'd treat myself. | 69 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey, I thought about what you said before, and picked up this sweet piece. You were right, I feel much safer. | 70 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey, I'm sorry about being so dismissive about your suggestion before. I thought a lot about what you said. | 71 | |
Neutral 50 | There've been times when just a little bit of money from a stranger would have made a huge difference to me, so I get where you're coming from. | 72 | ||
Neutral 50 | Maybe I could make that kind of difference for someone else... ah, who am I kidding? | 73 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey, I've been thinking a lot about what you said earlier, about saving up and leaving this dump. Do you really think it's possible? | 74 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Look pal, I've been thinking. I know we got off to a bad start there, but let's put it behind us, okay? | 75 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey pal, I made so much recently that I was able to afford this little number too. How do I look? | 76 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | You again. You want a tip, or you here to piss me off some more? | 77 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey pal, you got the caps, I got the info. You do have the caps, right? | 78 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Ah, my favorite customer returns. Want a tip? | 79 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Mugging sequence} Well, look who it is. I was just thinking about you. | 80 | |
Neutral 50 | I recently came across a piece of info that you just have to hear, and since you're my best customer, it's on the house. Interested? | 81 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Mugging, after you turned him down the first time} Hey, I've still got that super-hot tip for you, and it's still free. What do you say? | 82 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Leaving} Hey pal, I've finally saved up enough caps to leave this dump, so no tips today. Or ever, I guess, ha ha. | 83 | |
Neutral 50 | A lot of these caps came from you, so I wanted to say thanks before I shove off. Meeting you really changed my life. | 84 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Actual mugging} Okay, pal, we're going to do this quick and easy. I know you're loaded down with caps, judging by how much you've already given me. | 85 | |
Neutral 50 | So I thought I'd save us both some time and just take all the caps you have. Hand them over. | 86 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Him working for the Followers} Oh hey, didn't think I'd see you here. I decided to stop scrounging for caps and start making a difference. | 87 | |
Neutral 50 | The Followers have been really great. There's always something that needs to be done, and everyone here treats me really well. | 88 | ||
Neutral 50 | Sorry if you stopped by my old spot looking for info. I've been so busy lately that I haven't heard anything. | 89 | ||
Neutral 50 | Anyway, feel free to stay as long as you like. I've got to get back to work. | 90 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic000 {Ask if he's heard about NCR soldiers in the area.} |
You know anything about NCR soldiers prowling the area? | Neutral 50 | Could be. Could be. That kind of information doesn't come cheap, though. I'll need at least 150 caps for this one. | 91 |
You still have some info on those NCR soldiers that have been about? | Neutral 50 | Could be. Could be. That kind of information doesn't come cheap, though. I'll need at least 150 caps for this one. | 92 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic001 | You drive a hard bargain. Here you go. | Neutral 50 | Much appreciated. The guys you're talking about have been spotted near the old train station in the northwest. | 93 |
Neutral 50 | There've been more and more Squatters heading that way each night, too. Word is, there's a password to get into the building. | 94 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic002 {Barter check >= 25} |
If you ever want me to buy another tip from you, that price'll come down. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] You're a scoundrel. I'll let it go for 50, but no lower. | 95 |
How about 15 caps since we both know you need the money? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] How about 200 since you're such a smartass? | 96 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic003 | Done. | Neutral 50 | Much appreciated. The guys you're talking about have been spotted near the old train station in the northwest. | 97 |
Neutral 50 | There've been more and more Squatters from around here heading that way each night, too. Word is, there's a password to get into the building. | 98 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic004 | Sorry, too rich for me. | Neutral 50 | Then I can't help you with that, but I do have lots of other tips that come much, much cheaper... | 99 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic005 | Do you know the password? | Neutral 50 | It'll cost you 250 caps. | 100 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic006 {Barter >= 50} |
I've already paid good money for this information. A hundred more caps, no more. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Fine, fine. One hundred it is, but only because you're a good customer. | 101 |
You want even more money? Are you insane? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I've got a business to run here, you know. The price is 250. | 102 | |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic007 | Fine. | Neutral 50 | Much appreciated. The guys you're talking about have been spotted near the old train station in the northwest. | 103 |
Neutral 50 | There've been more and more Squatters heading that way each night, too. Word is, there's a password to get into the building. | 104 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic008 | Here you go. | Neutral 50 | Wow, I might have to head down to the Wrangler tonight with all these caps weighing me down. | 105 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic009 | Thanks, I'll go check it out. | Neutral 50 | Good luck! | 106 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic012 | Whoa, now. Watch where you point that thing. It's dangerous. | Neutral 50 | Dangerous... I like that. Maybe it's time people starting being afraid of me rather than the other way around. | 107 |
Whoa, now. Watch where you point that thing. It's dangerous. | Neutral 50 | Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you that I got some new info for you. Each tip's gonna cost 100 caps now though. | 108 | |
Neutral 50 | Cause I got plans. Big plans. So what do you say? Want a tip? | 109 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic013 | Sorry, too rich for me. | Neutral 50 | Then I can't help you with that, but I do have lots of other tips that come much, much cheaper... | 110 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 | { Holder for Rotface extra lines } | Neutral 50 | Hey, listen, I'd love to sell you some more info, but you've tapped everything I've heard lately. | 111 |
Neutral 50 | Come back in a few days. I'll put my ear to the ground and hopefully have heard a few more things by then. | 112 | ||
{ Holder for Rotface extra lines } | Neutral 50 | What do ya say, want another tip? | 113 | |
{ Holder for Rotface extra lines } | Neutral 50 | I got more where that came from. Want another? | 114 | |
{ Holder for Rotface extra lines } | Neutral 50 | That one was pretty good, right? How about another? | 115 | |
{ Holder for Rotface extra lines } | Neutral 50 | I've heard here and there that the word "Hope" has recently become quite popular with the Squatters. | 116 | |
Neutral 50 | But that's all I've heard. If I knew more, I'd try to bilk you out of more caps. You interested in one of my other tips? | 117 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic016 | Yeah, it looks great. | Neutral 50 | Exactly what I was thinking. It's nice to have a little style, you know? | 118 |
Yeah, it looks great. | Neutral 50 | But you're probably here for more of my special commodity, and luckily for you, I haven't been idle since last we spoke. | 119 | |
Neutral 50 | However, all that hard work on my part means that the price has gone up. 100 a tip, now. You game? | 120 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic017 | It's not exactly what I would have bought for myself. | Neutral 50 | Oh yeah, what would you have gotten? | 121 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic018 | Good for you. No one should have to be afraid all the time. | Neutral 50 | Unfortunately, it comes with the territory around here. But being afraid sucks, no doubt about it. | 122 |
Good for you. No one should have to be afraid all the time. | Neutral 50 | Oh, hey, I almost forgot to tell you I heard a few things you might be interested in. | 123 | |
Neutral 50 | I'm kind of sorry about this, but I'm going to have to up my price to 100 caps per tip from now on. | 124 | ||
Neutral 50 | It's getting tougher to discover new things that might interest a traveler such as yourself. I'm sure you understand. So, you interested or what? | 125 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic019 | You look like an idiot. | Neutral 50 | Yeah, it does look pretty sweet, doesn't {it} i- hey, screw you! Who asked you anyway? The crap I put up with... | 126 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic020 | Probably a weapon, given how dangerous it is around here. | Neutral 50 | Yeah... that's a good idea... no sense making money and waiting for someone to just come and take it, right? | 127 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic021 | I'd have saved the money, so I could someday get the hell out of here. | Neutral 50 | Hmmm... you're a long-term thinker, man. I like that. You might be on to something there. | 128 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic022 | I'd have given the money away. | Neutral 50 | ...Really? Wow, it never occurred to me to actually give the money away. Do people really do things like that? {Long pause at the beginning as he's trying to decide if he heard the player right.} | 129 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic023 | Now you'll get some respect. You should give some hell to the people that used to push you around. | Neutral 50 | Yeah... yeah, that's a good idea. They'll learn that shouldn't have messed with me. Just wait till they get what's coming to them! | 130 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic024 | No, you could make a real difference. | Neutral 50 | You really think so, pal? I'll start looking into it. I bet I can help a lot of people around here. | 131 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic025 | Freeside's problems are too big for you to have much impact. | Neutral 50 | You're probably right. This place has been going downhill for a long time. Maybe I could start over somewhere else. | 132 |
Neutral 50 | Just think of it. A new life... | 133 | ||
Freeside's problems are too big for you to have much impact. | Neutral 50 | Oh yeah, I heard some new things that you might find interesting. I'm going to have to start charging 100 caps per tip, though. | 134 | |
Neutral 50 | After all, I have to save up for my ticket out of here, right? So how about it? Want a tip? | 135 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic026 | You believed that crap I said about giving the money away? | Neutral 50 | What? N-No, I knew you were just kidding. Ha ha. You're a funny one, all right. | 136 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic027 | I go places all the time. It's actually pretty easy to just pick up and leave. | Neutral 50 | That's true, you seem to always be on the move and it seems to be working out for you pretty well. | 137 |
Neutral 50 | I've already got a decent amount saved up. If I keep it up, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to go start over somewhere else soon. | 138 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic028 | You wouldn't last ten seconds out in the waste. | Neutral 50 | That's a hell of a thing to say. Build up a man's hopes, then dash them in front of him. | 139 |
Neutral 50 | And who says I couldn't survive just as well as you out there? People are always underestimating me, damn. | 140 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic029 | Sure, but what about this place? Isn't it your home? | Neutral 50 | This place is a shithole, but yeah, it's home. I've lived here all my life. I'd be leaving a piece of myself behind if I left. | 141 |
Neutral 50 | There'd be things I'd miss - the fun of watching the Kings kick the crap out of a thief, or the look of joy on a child's face after catching a rat. | 142 | ||
Neutral 50 | Ah, now you've got me all nostalgic-like. Maybe I'd be better off trying to find a way to make this place better than giving up and leaving. | 143 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic030 | I'm sorry. Sorry you're such a prissy asshole. | Neutral 50 | You're a real piece of work, you know that? | 144 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic031 | I'm sorry. I was out of line before. | Neutral 50 | It's cool. I'm just a little touchy about people making fun of me, especially smoothskins. But you're not all bad. Take the Followers, for example. | 145 |
Neutral 50 | Why, just the other week, one of them offered me a job. Can you imagine? Me, with a real job? | 146 | ||
Neutral 50 | Can you imagine? Me? With a real job? | 147 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic032 | I've already forgotten it. | Neutral 50 | Yeah, I bet you have. Not important enough for you to remember, huh? | 148 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic033 | Very classy. | Neutral 50 | You said it. With these threads, people are finally going to start noticing me. | 149 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic034 | As good as a ghoul in a suit can look. | Neutral 50 | Fuck you, human. We don't all share your wonderful complexion. Some of us have to make do, you know? | 150 |
As good as a ghoul in a suit can look. | Neutral 50 | Anyway, I was just going to tell you that I've come across some new tidbits you might find interesting. | 151 | |
Neutral 50 | And since you're just about my favorite person in the world, each one is only going to cost you 100 caps. Interested? | 152 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic035 | I don't care. Do you have any new info? | Neutral 50 | Yeesh, you're just all business, aren't you? Well, I like how I look, and that's what's important. Though it'd be nice if other people did too. {Emphasis on the first "I" in "I like how I look". Also, the last sentence is said quickly and slightly under his breath.} | 153 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic036 | Sure. What is it? | Neutral 50 | I don't want to mention it out in plain sight like this. You never know who might be listening. Follow me. | 154 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic037 | No right now. I'm busy. | Neutral 50 | Well, don't wait too long. What I've got is something you'd need to act on, quick. | 155 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic038 | Don't shoot! Here you go. | Neutral 50 | Wow, I didn't think it would be this easy. I should have done this years ago. Guess I'll be going then. | 156 |
Neutral 50 | Oh, here's a final tip - don't ever follow anyone into a dark alley in Freeside. Later, chump. | 157 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic039 | Why are you doing this? | Neutral 50 | Man, I'm tired of scrounging for caps from ungrateful idiots like you. It's past time I moved on to bigger and better things. | 158 |
Neutral 50 | Now are you going to hand over your caps, or am I going to shoot you and take them anyway? | 159 | ||
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic040 | I'm not giving you my caps. | Neutral 50 | Then you give me no choice. | 160 |
VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic041 | I have a better idea. Why don't I just take all my caps back from your corpse? | Neutral 50 | You're welcome to try. | 161 |
