If Caesar is in a place that is accessible to players, and if he's set to not invincible (I forget the term, but same as companions in non-hardcoe), I can think of some ways to assassinate him. But, I'm just thinking, there's got to be something in-game to prevent someone from just sneaking in and killing Caesar before anything happens with the dam. Right? What about Legate Lanius? Is he somewhere player accessible and set to be killable?

Right after Ring-a-Ding-Ding, you can enter the fort and kill Caesar. Nothing happens other than a few congratulations and the hostility of CL.

an easy way to do this is right after arriving in Novac for the first time head east toward Nelson. You'll find a ranger checkpoint and a Ranger Milo who offers you a quest. You can turn it down if you like what's important is there's a footlocker there with a detonator and C4

then go from Novac to Boulder City, Boulder City to the Strip. Take care of Benny, then leave the Tops and get Caesars Mark. Go to the Fort directly via Cottonwood Cove, blow up the securitrons (or upgrade them), come back, deal with Benny if you hadnt earlier, then plant some C4 on Caesar with a Stealthboy and RUN

all of this done by like level 9

Baldy has a large bodyguard of melee types. If you try to cap him inside his tent you will be swarmed by them. You might be able to get outside and take them out but it would be tough. In my play throughs so far I was around lvl 25 with a pair of companions. when I offed baldy and his girls. :thumbsup:

You urn across the Legate in the final mission only... He's another melee type so plan accordingly. :gun:

Stealthboys and silenced weapon and you can kill everyone in the tent without anyone doing more than say "I thought I heard something."

I know, I know....sneaking in the tent is not manly. :biggrin: But it's still fun to do at least once. Or if you're trying to rush but don't want to use impersonal explosives.
