I'll try to be brief with a little backstory, but, it's not necessary to read all of it, I'll include cliffnotes. I like the service rifle. I bought one but it was beat to [censored]. No caps for repair, no other ones to repair it with. So I killed all of Camp Mojave. They all had service rifles, not to mention enough stuff to steal so the caps weren't a problem anymore. But what do they care, they're dead. So anyway, NCR was none too happy about my shenanigans, so now they hate me. A lot. They try to kill me whenever I see them. What jerks, I know. So anyhow, they run boulder city, and I really want to go to boulder city, but I know that they are there and if I show up, they're probably gonna be really pissed off. They might even try to shoot me! I know, they're being dikes about the whole thing, but whatever. The point is, I don't think I'm gonna get into boulder city without getting turned into swiss cheese. I thought about, you know just apologizing and maybe they'd let it slide, but like I said, if they see me they start shooting. Is there anyway to get them to like me again without actually talking to them. You think mowing down some of those roman fellas might work? Maybe the indiscriminate slaughter of some powder gangers? Can I just pay them off? HELP

Cliffs - Pissed off NCR, need to calm them down enough so they don't shoot me, don't know how, need help.

Once you get far enough in the campaign your reputation with both the Legion and NCR reset to neutral if you are seen negatively by either.
