Beyond the Beef Discussion (SPOILERS BEWARE!)

Post » Wed Apr 08, 2015 1:52 pm

Alright so, I don't even know how to begin this one. I recently just finished the quest, "Beyond the Beef", which was given to me by the guy in the cowboy hat in the ultra luxe casino. There were so many things that drove me insane and even left me confused as [censored].

Firstly, when i first initiated this quest, (even before I met the man) the people in the masks and their mysterious personalities were warned to me by people in the gamorra casino. I knew ahead of time was to expect from this quest. The first thing I did was do what any detective would do; question EVERYONE. Literally i spent 15 minutes walking up to random npcs asking them questions about the glove society. Soon after, I went to the female receptionist on the western side of the casino and asked about the past of the group and all this other information. Then, I went to what is supposedly "head" leader of the group, Mortimer. I asked him about the investigator who was here previously and where he's checked in. I went to the room they directed me to, and to my surprise I see the dead body, picked up the item he had, and fought the two members that came to kill me. I stole their mask and suit to help disguise myself in this evil plot.

"What to do next?" I said to myself. I followed the small quest note that said to meet someone up at 4 in the steam showers or whatever. I found the person i was supposed to meet and he spilled all the beans. He told me various options of how to go about ending the society's evil plot and then he was killed by the assassin, whom I killed after. Finally, I stole some keys off of Mortimer and then asked the female receptionist for her club key into the VIP area. This is where [censored] gets creepy. I was on the part where you're about to enter the kitchen to do some spy things, then all of a sudden my power IRL goes off for like ten seconds. It literally left me scared for a good minute or so. I wait 10 minutes to turn my computer back on to continue and finish this devious, demonic quest.

My friend calls just on time, (who is also a huge fallout fan) and we discuss the incident that was previously stated. As we talk, I continue where I left off, yet my auto save seems to have been corrupted and set me back to Goodsprings. Another creepy incident? Hmm, I have to end this [censored] mission, because it's cursed! I loaded up the save and I had to reopen the lounge again and go back to where I left off. I continued and open the dreaded door that made my power go out and tested to see if my auto save would work again. Gladly it did. Moving along, I met the man in the hallway and used the speech option to avoid any problems, (God I love having 100 speech). I eventually found Phillpe and his bi-polar attitude really didn't get me going at all. I decided to tell him that "who the [censored] are you blah blah" option, then fooled him and told him there's a rad roach in the food storage. But before I did this, I stole his freezer key and closed the door of the food storage with him in it. I used my intelligence to cook the human flesh on the kitchen. I never called the head waiter, I forgot to and don't feel like going back to find out what happens. Ill get back to cooking the human flesh part later.

Moving along, I managed to find the freezer storage place and found the cowboy man's son! Yay! he literally reminded me of a kid who would always get his dad on my friends and I, so i guess it added some form of humor to this sick quest. I spilled the beans just like the black man did to me, and off we went to escape the dreaded kitchen. What made me become uncomfortable was when I found the two men using flamers to cook human bodies, (AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE ME WITH THE KID WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DINNER!). Guess what? We made it out clean and I brought the boy back to his father. *edit: I found out that Phillpe has to see you take the kid to initate hostility*. The son spilled the beans to his dad and I too was in agreement to not make the boy look stupid. They re-unite, and I get my 500 caps, 600 or so exp and, wait for it, FAME FOR BOTH THE STRIP AND THE WHITE GLOVE SOCIETY.

Hold on, here's where I question ALOT of things.

-First, why in the hell is it called the White Glove Society? White is a symbol of peace, relaxation and all sorts of positive things. Yet they seem to do some of the most mysterious things I've ever seen. They resemble scientologists in a way I swear.

-Second, When I had the boy follow me around the dark basemant kitchen area, not a single person questioned why a White Glove Society member is carrying a boy around? Wasn't the memo sent around that human flesh is going to be a thing now and that a boy was abducted for it? Mortimer was surprisingly not around nor the female receptionist when I had him around too. The time I had the boy with me was at around 9:00 PM, so the banquet should have been over by then.

-Third, why in the hell did I gain fame for the White Glove Society when i clearly ratted them out of their plans?

-Lastly, if I spilled the beans in public where I finalize the quest, why don't the npcs use common sense and start attacking me and becoming hostile? It would have made sense since most of the conversation are literally all around the White Glove people to begin with. *facepalm*

What do you guys think of this? What does it all mean? I seriously need a brief discussion going on here before I go insane. None of this was made up, and most of this was just things I had on my mind.

Discuss away!
