So about 4 days ago and 4 levels (13 at the time) ago I had been playing for about 36 hours straight (with breaks only to eat and relieve myself). In a haze of sleep deprived bravado I decided to stroll up to Caesar (the filthy ponce) and let him know what I thought of him, with high caliber exclamation points. So I walked into cottonwood cove and rather simply dispatched the denizens that awaited me then I boarded the ferry to The Fort. I again strolled among the grisly garden of dead right into Caesar's tent and began liberally letting my displeasure with him express itself. This just might have been a mistake. Boone and "Eddie" didn't make it more then 30 seconds. I wasn't far behind. Being sleep drunk and now angry I made several more attempts on the life of the "imperator". Low and behold after several reiterations of my attack plan I actually succeeded in assassinating Caesar, and his entire retinue of guards and named NPCs.

What I am curious about is if anyone else has attempted this and what their outcome was.

I have not tried this but, there's always tonight, because I really hate that bastard.

Tried it today, got decimated even with very easy. Character level 21, ncr veteran ranger armor and a good condition hunting shotgun/light machinegun. Those power fist guys are the biggest trouble.

Had to know that would be said. ....I hope you forgot a decimal point or something. ....3.6 maybe??


I've been tempted to do that, but was too concerned at what potential repercussions there may be later down the road. ....I think I'll wait until my 2nd trek through the game.

Killed Caesar and everyone else at the fort with an anti material rifle and incendiary rounds. Had a couple plasma mines as well to help clear out the tent. (Left them around the entrance, walked in and out, guards follow me out and go bang)

Nope....36. I am currently sitting at 58 total play hours.

NCR because its the smart choice, I do not want slavers and crazies taking over the mojave.

The AI has a lot of trouble navigating the little hill beside his tent, so I just ran up the hill and shot at the guards until they went all the way around and up the hill, then I walked down the hill when they got close and they had to go all the way back around to get to me again. I took no damage at all because they all had melee weapons. It was pretty funny to kill the leader of the second most powerful army in the world because he and his men couldn't figure out how to walk up a hill.

me and boon tore up Caesar's fort at level 12. It was all easy until I got to his tent. The trick is to zone in and out real quick. If you get lucky, only caesar and a few other guys will come out. If the legate comes out too, you're boned at lvl 12.

I assaulted Fortification Hill a few days ago, killed Ceasar and every Legionary there.

I was at level 17(when I started)
EDIT: I had Ranger Patrol Armour, Boone had the armour from his second quest.

i killed them with heavy incinerator
and when i got to his tent
i went back out and they followed me out
so it was easy to take them
out
i had boone and rex
fyi i did it in about 10-15 min tops

It seems really easy to destroy Legion and Iike to work for the underdogs in these games so I vote Legion AFTER Independant, becuase I'm a Great Khan at heart.

Do NPC's in the game even acknowledge that he's dead? Is the game even programmed to react to this outcome?

Seems this would break one of the major plot-lines.

I went into his little tent, and got owned. 5 times.
I tried many different weapons, (I am too poor to afford a anti-material rifle at the moment.)
and nothing worked against him and his army.

Finally, I had found one that did work. The Machine! I ran out of the tent, letting him and his soldiers follow me, and I quickly did away at them with ease.
I felt so proud of myself afterwards.

i did the same thing today.... i finally got sick of caesar and decided to kill him. i ran in, quickly ran out. had a mine or two at the entrance then stood back aways. after they exploded i kept backin up with the thump-thump and they couldnt hit me and i just kept blasting away.... cake.

I'm going to try this later tonight now. I've found the best way to kill someone the instant you walk into the room is psycho+turbo and appropriate ammo, in this case I assume AP. Go straight for the head.

No, there's no reaction and it totally does break multiple major plot lines. I setup a ton of mines outside the tent, zoned in and out, then had at them. Boone, ED-E, and myself made quick work of the whole lot.

Anyways, the plot was so stupidly broken after their deaths that I just re-rolled a new toon.

Thanks, Obsidian.

I ran into his tent with my incinerator and started schorching everything in sight. I was the only survivor.

Went in with a Stealth boy and killed most of the guards and dogs with it while noone knew I was there. Then I had some fun with a Grenade Rifle and lastly assassinated Benny with the Mysterious Magnum.

I actually just did this to score points with Boone and it was glorious!

Me and Boone got totally [censored] over.. Power fists ripped us to pieces.. Got him eventually with a little help from a little old device called the Tesla-Beaton Prototype Boom, to be fair, even stuggled whilst using that and 50. cal with armor piercing, my gun skill is 100 and I have all the gun perks still struggled.. Felt good when I killed Caeser though..

I got in to this tent to kill him a few days ago. Boone is my buddy and it apeared to be the right thing to do to me. First go in his tent I get slaughterd, second try I pop all the chems that I can find and wipe em all out. :intergalactic:

I was a bit disapointed with the loot though.

heh, place mines at entrance before his tent, go in shoot run out, they run into the mines.
poof.

that and grenade machinegun. although i only tried that on my normal play through so idk if that would be possible on hardcoe.

I killed him cause i wanted to wear his cloths and take his thrown. And i did.

I always do my first playthrough on very easy for the story, and I went NCR. Once I hit level 12, I decided to find out what would happen if I attacked The Fort. I breezed through until I went through the drawbridge, and met the blacksmith with a chainsaw. Eventually, I murderated all of them and went into the tent. So far I had only used the Weathered 10mm Pistol and a modified Laser Rifle. I got killed 7 times by the guards with the Ballistic Fists. Then I decided to use Plasma Grenades, which worked like a charm.
