Power Armor training and house

Post » Mon Dec 12, 2011 4:26 am

I haven't played the game in a while and was wanting to go back and run through it again. This time I wanted to do House's quests line since last time I did NCR. Now I know during his play through he doesn't really like the BoS being where they are and asks you do to something bad (I'll just leave that there). Am I able to do the BoS quests to get the PA armor without pissing House off and not able to finish his quest line?

Yes. The easiest way to do this is meet the BoS, find the three patrols, install Hardn's as elder (His questline is a MUCH shorter questline than McNamaras. Since you dont need the BoS, it's best just do Hardin to be done with the BoS), do Hardins task, report back, obtain PA training from Hardin, and either immediately or wait until Houses questline to destroy the bunker.

I do it in every playthrough, it's very easy :D

Wait untill you're a level 50 and then attack them head on. Or even reverse pickpocket them with Elijah's Advanced LAER, fully modded Tri-beam Laser Rifles (GRA), the Tesla Beaton Prototype, the fully modded Holorifle, Mercy, and fully modded Gatling Lasers. That's a lot of fun. I just did that with my Ranger Vet.

Alternatively you can do Arcade Gannon's questline and you will also gain Power armor Training that way.

Unfortunately, I didn't know the Scorched Sierra Armor needed Power Armor Training (Well, by the time I got the add on the BOS was dead and I was Idolized by CL) and there was no way I could get Arcade Gannon to even follow me, so there was no way I could wear it... However, you can always go that route instead of the BOS, its a faster option depending on how fast you get his quest.

Hardin's quest has you kill the Van Graffs though, which closes off the big energy weapon merchant in the game.

Also, even if you kill the Brotherhood, there's still another option to get PA training. Do Arcade Gannon's quest.

Huh. Have you tried wearing NCR faction armor when trying to recruit Arcade?

Also, Arcade's quest needs you to be fairly far along in the MQ while the Brotherhood can be done whenever.
