The most moral can take the chance to help the Followers of the Apocalypse clean up the area. While in the wrecked landscape of Freeside, you’ll have a chance for a surprising number of quests of varying types. While it is easy to help the NCR, it’s also possible to sabotage the facility or reign fire down on the soldiers from above.Īll of these little quests are certainly worth your time while you’re passing through Novac.īefore you can get into the splendor of New Vegas, you’ll need to pass through the ruined slums surrounding the main gate. The nearby solar power plant, Helios One, should be worth a look too. Of course, you’ll also be able to help a cult of ghouls fight the “demons” in their basement and then launch them to their paradise (or into each other in a massive fireball).

The unmarked quest concerning the attacks on the local brahmin ranch is worth your time too, if you like easy caps and movie references. Boone’s recruitment quest is a worthwhile venture for just about everyone. While you’re here, you’ll be able to find Boone, a new doctor (of questionable skill, but good supplies) and your first permanent home, in the form of a motel room.ĭespite these amenities, you’ll also be able to help out around town. The area may look small, but it’s home to some very useful things. Novac will be the first major town that you encounter. Each of these quests should help you get your feet wet in the Mojave, learn the lay of the land and earn some early caps and equipment for your journey to New Vegas.

Primm, on the other hand, will force you to take the town back from a group of rogue Powder Gangers and then decide on who the ideal sheriff for the town would be. The NCR prison will let evil characters make some new friends in the region and fight the NCR, or allow double agents to get some intel on the prison and join the NCR assault to seize it.

And if you’re following the traditional path, you’ll soon be able to do a few missions at the NCR prison or the nearby town of Primm. Your first trip outside in Goodsprings will introduce you to a war with the local branch of the Powder Gangers and a particularly nasty trap set by Barton Fink. There are a couple of simple quests to get you started once you come to life in the Mojave Wasteland. Starter Quests - Goodsprings, NCR Prison and Primm
