So far I seem to have everyone Idolizing me except Goodsprings (Liked), Freeside (accepted) and the Strip (liked). (To the Legion I'm a Soft-Hearted Devil and the Powder Gangers hate my guts - big surprise) I'd like to improve my standing in Freeside and the Strip, maxing it if possible. I have yet to investigate the Omertas. I have bought some reputation through whatsisname at the Wrangler - maybe I should do it again and ask for the 1000 caps treatment this time. Any other suggestions? Will helping Rex help my Freeside rep? And does the area around the Thorn have its own reputation standard or is it considered part of Freeside?

Just thinking if everybody (more or less) decent Idolizes my courier, it'll make his ultimate takeover that much simpler.
