"You'll Known It When It Happens" Help? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:12 am

So as you can see, I'm doing the quest "You'll Know It When It Happens" and I need to look around for clues of a potential attack on the NCR president. I talked to one girl saying her friend "Ben" was missing but I have no idea if that's who I'm looking for or where to find him? Help?

Search the presidents verti bird when it lands. You need to pass a speech check to get to it, well I did at least I had dark hero reputation with NCR. Also, you can hack a terminal in the lobby and it will tell you where all the snipers are located. Keep an eye on those spots. I failed on my first play through cause I didn't have high enough speech(75 i think), was still neat.

I have a stellar reputation with the NCR so they just let me access the vertibird without any tests. I hacked the terminal and saw the locations, saw that somebody downloaded the list, etc, but that doesn't do much...

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!

So far the only thing I have encountered is the suicide bomber attempt, is it scripted to always be that or will there will be the random possibility of snipers and other attackers? Also I encountered a bomb on the vertibird once, but only once.

I've only completed the quest once, but here's what I encountered.

Spoiler

My rep with the NCR was high enough that I got permission to explore wherever I wanted when looking for potential threats. Upon speaking to a named engineer on the second floor of the visitors center, I discovered blood in a closet on the first floor, which updated the quest, notifying me that I should observe any engineers that are acting suspicious. I found a suspicious engineer and followed him around after telling the ranger to get started. When the Vertibird landed, the engineer planted a bomb, which I defused. The quest updated asking me to tell the Ranger to end the ceremony. The President escaped safely and the quest completed.

I didn't even know you could go in the Vertibird

Spoiler below!

SPOILER!

The sniping post right behind where the president is talking I seen a Ranger fall. I went and discovered it and climbed the ladder. A person who appeared to be a ranger was up there. I talked to him and tried to get him to follow me to tell that a Ranger was dead, but he attacked me. It was a legion member disguised as a Ranger.
