This is a sub-page of Proto:Fallout: New Vegas/April 17, 2010/Unused Audio.

A large amount of dialogue for the early Powder Gang scenario. This includes an earlier version of the quest I Fought The Law, as well as dialogue for NPCs that would later be cut, including the NCRCF hostage. Present also is dialogue for a number of unmarked quests, including Chavez's confinement.

Powder Gangers

Eddie#

Unused dialogue for Eddie which expands upon an alternative version of the quest:

NCRCF Hostage#

Dialogue for part one of the quest I Fought The Law, where Eddie asks the player to execute the hostage:

The player could accept, ponder or flat out refuse the request.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Can I think about it?
Eddie	I don't need you to fucking think, I need you to answer yes or no. Which is it going to be?	000D80EE
Player	All right I'll do it. Where can I find the hostage?
Eddie	Head on over to Cell Block A if you wanna finish the hostage up close and personal. Talk to Scrambler and he'll let you into the cell.	000d7f18
Player	I'm not going to kill anyone.
Eddie	Not got as much guts as I thought, and definitely no brains. Kill this useless fucker for wasting my time.	000d7f16

The player could also attempt a speech check of 25 to bargain for the hostage's life:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	The NCR might negotiate for him. He's worth more alive than dead.
Eddie	Maybe, maybe not. I'll let him live a little longer just in case.	000d7f20
Eddie	Next job will probably be a little dirtier, if you're up for it.	000d7f20
Player	The guard could still be useful, somehow, if you keep him alive.
Eddie	I'm not asking you what we should do with him, the decision's made. Now, what's your answer?	000e454d

Here the player reports their success:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I took care of the hostage, just like you asked.
Eddie	Cold, very cold. I like that. Alright, I've got another job for you to do.	000d7f21

Water Merchant#

Here Eddie introduces the second part of the quest:

Player

What do you need me to do now?

Eddie

There's a small watering hole west of here, up by the mountains. Good spot to meet and greet travellers, and collect tolls for being in our territory.

Eddie

Head on over and if anyone's there, shake 'em down. Don't kill them if you don't have to, but don't let them off easy either.

000d7c48

Some dialogue for the player to report on events that occurred at the watering hole:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Eddie	Got something to tell me?	000d7049
Player	Found a merchant at the watering hole, but things got ugly.
Eddie	Tried to fight, huh? Sometimes they're stupid like that.	000a5ac9
Player	Found a merchant at the watering hole. He's been handled.
Eddie	You've done good. Eventually, you'll have to split your take with the rest of us, but this one time I'll let you keep it all.	000d7f17

NCR Attack#

The dialogue for introducing the quest is the same as in the final, but the player could ask for an additional reward:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Are you expecting me to scout Primm for free?
Eddie	100 caps and maybe some chems thrown in for good measure should do you right.	000a2adb

Here the player reports back to Eddie, he mentions needing to prep, something that doesn't happen in the final.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	The NCR is gearing up to retake this place. No idea when, but probably soon.
Eddie	I knew those bastards wouldn't simply let us have this place. Alright, we need to prep.	000d7047

After successful of the quest, Eddie would point the player in Cooke's direction:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Eddie	Not bad in a fight, are you? I really thought the NCR had us in their sights then.	000d8037
Eddie	Cooke could probably use someone like you, and having him owe me one can't be a bad thing. This holotape will show him you're on the level.	000d8037
Eddie	Last I heard Cooke was headed toward Quarry Junction, so start looking for him there.	000d8037

Eddie has two responses for when asked what his plans are following the attack. If 10 or more Powder Gangers had died, Eddie would use the first response.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What are you going to do now?
Eddie	Don't have much of a gang left, thanks to the NCR. Thinking of heading north to New Vegas, might even recruit some new boys along the way.	000da126
Player	What are you going to do now?
Eddie	I don't think the NCR will be back, so me and the boys are going to stick around for a while longer.	000da128

Scrambler Takeover#

These lines are for asking about the situation between Eddie and Scrambler:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Eddie	What the fuck do you mean, power structure? Who the fuck do you see behind the big desk?	000e8680
Eddie	Me, I'm the fucking power structure. Christ, you're a dumb one.	000e8680

With a speech skill of 55, the player could convince him to follow them to a guard tower:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Eddie	What's new?	000d8038
Player	Hey, looks like you've got a problem with the northeast guard tower.
Eddie	[FAILED] What the fuck ever.	000e8ea8
Eddie	[SUCCEEDED] Huh? What the fuck are you talking about? Goddammit, I have to do everything myself around here.	000e8ea9

Here, Eddie could be pushed to his demise.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Eddie	Well, what's the problem?	000e8ea7
Player	[Push Eddie.]
Eddie	What? Ahh!	000e8ea6

Generic#

Some generic lines for the prison. Here, the player asks about Cooke's whereabouts, with two different responses dependent on if Cooke is dead or not.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Where is Cooke now?
Eddie	Like I said, he and his crew went north. I heard talk about some kind of big plan to get back at the NCR, but haven't seen him since.	000e3306
Player	Where is Cooke now?
Eddie	Probably dead in the Wasteland somewhere.	000a0e5f

Some dialogue for comment on general events happening at the prison:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Chavez is locked in one of the cells.
Eddie	Not my problem. I'm not wasting any dynamite on him, so he's going to have to get real skinny if he wants out.	000a23dc
Player	If you're free, why are you still here?
Eddie	Most of the travellers follow the highway north to New Vegas and it's pretty easy to collect a toll, if you shake some dynamite under their nose.	000e8680
Eddie	It doesn't seem like there's anyone coming south these days, though.	000e8680
Player	What did you do before you ended up here?
Eddie	Why do you care? Answer, you shouldn't. I don't feel like trading life stories.	000d7768
Player	What happened here?
Eddie	It was all Cooke's idea. He and his boys managed to swipe some dynamite and hide it away in their cells.	000da70f
Eddie	The rest of us just tagged along, Cooke's crew headed north while the rest of us stuck around for payback.	000da70f
Player	Who's Cooke?
Eddie	One mean son of a bitch. Really, truly hates the NCR for some reason and he got a lot of the other guys around to his way of thinking.	000e3307
Player	What can you tell me about this place?
Eddie	They called it a work release prison. Us lucky prisoners got the privilege of fixing up the rail lines, and blasting ruck for new lines.	000da4f7
Eddie	They got sloppy, though. Some of us managed to hide away some dynamite, and look who's in charge now?	000da4f7

Scrambler#

Early dialogue for Scrambler which gives him a different role in the Powder Gangers. Originally, Scrambler would've stood guard outside the hostage's cell:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Scrambler	You're not supposed to be here.	000d71b0
Player
Scrambler	I said you're not supposed to be here.	000d71b1
Player	Eddie sent me to deal with the hostage.
Scrambler	I wish he'd make up his mind. I thought the hostage was supposed to be a bargaining chip or something. Fuck it, do whatever.	000e2c72

Here, the player asks about the situation between him and Eddie:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Sounds like your not too happy with Eddie's leadership.
Scrambler	No shit. Figure that one out all by yourself, did you?	000e8679

With a skill check of 30, the player could convince Scrambler to turn on Eddie:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Can't say he does anything for me, either. Maybe it's time he had an accident.
Scrambler	Bitch, Eddie would eat your ass alive. You try to scramble him, he'll put a hole in your skull.	000e867b
Player	Can't say he does anything for me, either. Maybe it's time he had an accident.
Scrambler	Motherfucker, Eddie would eat your ass alive. You try to scramble him, he'll put a hole in your skull.	000e867c
Player	Can't say he does anything for me, either. Maybe it's time he had an accident.
Scrambler	Hmm, you look like a tough little bitch. Alright, you make your move, my boys will support you.	000e867d
Player	Can't say he does anything for me, either. Maybe it's time he had an accident.
Scrambler	Hmm, you look like a tough fucker. Alright, you make your move, my boys will support you.	000e867e

Some more lines for dealing with Eddie:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Just leave it to me. I think I can take care of him.
Scrambler	Yeah, sure. Me? I'm not gonna risk getting shot in the face. If you're on, you're on your own.	000e8ea5
Player	Just making an observation. Anyways...
Scrambler	What?	000e8678
Player	Maybe you're right. It's not worth it.
Scrambler	Thought so, fucking pussy.	000e8ea4

There are some player only lines for reporting back to Scrambler after Eddie has been killed. Responses do not seem to be present however:

Speaker	Dialogue
Player	Yeah, he's dead.
Player	Not yet.

Some general comments on events occurring throughout the prison:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Chavez is locked inside one of the cells.
Scrambler	Yeah, tough shit. I don't know anything about locks. That coward Hannigan gave it a shot but it didn't work. Big surprise.	000e3d5d
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Scrambler	Power structure? What the fuck are you talking about? Eddie's the one calling the shots.	000e8685
Player	If you're free, why are you still here?
Scrambler	Because I fucking feel like it, that's why. Why the fuck do you care? Get out of my face.	000e3f02
Player	What did you do before you ended up here?
Scrambler	Whatever I wanted. Got any more stupid questions.	000e3f00
Player	What happened here?
Scrambler	The NCR didn't take us seriously. Thought a handful of guards with guns could keep us in line. They thought wrong.	000e3f00
Player	What was your crime?
Scrambler	Someone annoyed me, so I cut him into little pieces. Scrambled him real good.	000e2c73
Player	What can you tell me about this place?
Scrambler	It was a prison, and now it's not. I've got nothing else to say.	000e3f01

Meyers#

Unused generic dialogue for Meyers:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Who are you?
Meyers	Just call me Meyers.	000E3EC4

Here Meyers comments on the situation between Eddie and Scrambler:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Meyers	Right now, Eddie and his boys run the place. They've got the guns and the dynamite, so they call the shots.	000e8681
Meyers	You'll see them walking around wearing shades. Thinks it makes them look badass.	000e8681
Meyers	Steer clear of Scrambler's crew, though. The ones with the mohawks. They're crazy.	000e8681
Meyers	From what I hear, Scrambler's been feeling pretty antsy under Eddie's leadership.	000e8681

Here he comments on the player freeing Chavez.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Meyers	It was a decent thing you did for Chavez.	000a23df

Carter#

Dialogue for Carter, here he comments on Chavez's confinement:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Chavez is locked inside one of the cells.
Carter	Yeah, I know. Hannigan took a crack at the lock, but obviously it didn't work.	000e3d5c

Here Carter comments on the conflict between Eddie and Scrambler's gangs:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Carter	Eddie and his mirrorshades have been calling the shots since the breakout, but I don't think Scrambler's too happy with that arrangement.	000e8684
Carter	I'd step lightly around anyone with a mohawk, if I was you. They're planning something, I can smell it.	000e8684

Dawes#

Unused dialogue for the front guard of the NCRCF.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Dawes	Hey there, girlie. You here for Eddie? You should come see me when you're done. Don't worry, I've got caps and psycho. You like psycho?	00D6F49
Player	I'd like to talk to Eddie.
Dawes	Looking for a job, huh? He's in the big building, up in the warden's room. Hope you've got something good to say, or he'll kill you.	00D6F46
Player	Who's in charge?
Dawes	Looking for a job, huh? He's in the big building, up in the warden's room. Hope you've got something good to say, or he'll kill you.	00D6F47
Player	One big, happy family, huh?
Dawes	Don't know about that. Things have been a little tense between Eddie's boys and Scrambler's crew lately.	008F13A

Here he comments on Chavez's confinement:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Chavez is locked inside one of the cells.
Dawes	So what? Don't be expecting me to handle it.	000a23de
Player
Dawes	Just had to go and spoil our fun with Chavez, didn't you? It was fun listening to him cry.	000e3297

Some lines for commenting on general events in the prison:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about this place?
Dawes	It's home to us Powder Gangers. Before that, it was a prison. Until we decided to stop being prisoners.	000d6f4d
Player	You friends with Joe Cobb? I ran into him over at Goodsprings.
Dawes	Fuck that guy. Any con you see outside these walls isn't a friend.	00135687

Hannigan#

Hannigan has dialogue in this build that provides additional background, as well as outlines a cut quest involving giving him either medical advice or an appropriate book.

This dialogue is specifically related to his request for either medical advice or a textbook:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I can probably teach you more about medicine than any book can.
Hannigan	Hell, I'll take the advice. I'm all ears.	000a5ac7
Player
Hannigan	Well, you definitely know a lot more about medicine than I do. Thanks for the help, and here's the stims and caps I promised.	000a5acb
Player	I've got one of those books you were looking for.
Hannigan	Thanks. Hopefully I can pick up a thing or two. Here's the caps and stims I promised.	000a5ac6
Player	You're a doctor?
Hannigan	I was an NCR medic for six months so I'm not exactly a doctor.	000a5ac8
Hannigan	Do me a favour will you, and keep an eye out for one those books on medicine. I want to make sure Eddie can't easily replace me.	000a5ac8
Hannigan	Of course. There are stims and caps in it for you, to.	000a5ac8

These lines are related to the cut subplot that saw Chavez locked in a cell. A line from another NPC reveals that Hannigan had previously tried to unlock the door to Chavez's cell:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Chavez is locked inside one of the cells.
Hannigan	Yeah, we've been passing him food and water. So he's not going to die any time soon.	000a23dd
Hannigan	Take these bobby pins, you might have better luck with that stupid lock.	000a23dd
Player
Hannigan	Heard you got Chavez out. Guess you own him now, am I right?	000e3298

Here he comments on the conflict between Eddie and Scrambler. The filenames for the responses seem to be in wrong order, the lines are presented below in a way that makes more sense:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Hannigan	Eddie's the boss. But, uh! You didn't hear this from me, but Scrambler and his gang of spiky haired nutjobs have been acting twitchy recently.	000e8683
Hannigan	Ask me? They're planning something.	000e8683
Player	What can you tell me about this place?
Hannigan	It's where the NCR sends criminals to work of their sentences, by maintaining the local rail lines, or helping make new ones.	000cec17

Chavez#

Dialogue for Chavez, detailing his original scenario before it was changed.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Chavez	Hey, uh, you think you could get me out?	000e3293
Player
Chavez	This isn't funny. Somebody get me out.	000e3294
Player
Chavez	Thanks for getting me out. You're all right. Maybe I can repay the favour someday.	000e3295
Chavez	Hold on, take my backup gun. It's in pretty good shape, and I was thinking of selling it to Carter. But I owe you.	000e3295
Player
Chavez	Hey there, friend.	000e3296
Player	Say I do help you - what's in it for me?
Chavez	I don't have anything left. I've given it all away. And I'm still in here.	000e328e
Player	Say I do help you - what's in it for me?
Chavez	One of those other bastards did it to me somehow when my back was turned. Eddie says he hasn't got any key, either. So I'm stuck.	000e3290
Chavez	I think they're full of it, though. They just like seeing me rot in here.	000e3290

Some dialogue for Chavez to comment on general events happening at the prison:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	How did you end up in prison?
Chavez	I'm from a small town back in new Cal called Redding. Got drunk one night and killed a guy, now I'm here.	000cec14
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Chavez	Things are basically broken down into two camps, Eddie's boys, you'll see them walking around wearing shades.	000e8686
Chavez	Lately, Scrambler's been getting a lot of guys on his side. They've started wearing mohawks and talking a lot of shit.	000e8686
Chavez	Then, of course, some of us are starting to wonder if Meyers has the right idea and we should all just keep our heads down.	000e8686

Eddie's Bodyguard#

Some dialogue for Eddie's cut bodyguard NPC. He could also be asked about the power structure, but that dialogue is shared with the other Eddie gang members.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm here to see Eddie.
Powder Ganger	You sure about that? You waste his time, and he'll kill you.	00135684
Player	I'm sure. Let me in.
Powder Ganger	It's your ass, then.	00135686
Player	Goodbye.
Powder Ganger	Get out of here.	00135685

Eddie Gang Member#

Members of Eddie's gang, named "EddieGanger" internally. The player could ask them about the power struggle taking place here:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Powder Ganger	My man Eddie's in charge. And don't let anybody tell you different.	000e8682
Powder Ganger	If you know what's good for you, you'll give anybody wearing shades a wide berth. Eddie don't like anybody fucking with his crew.	000e8682

Scrambler Gang Member#

Members of Scrambler's gang, named "ScramblerGanger" internally. The player could ask them about the power struggle taking place here:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What can you tell me about the power structure around here?
Powder Ganger	I can tell you it's probably going to change soon. Eddie and his sunglasses wearing punks might not be in charge much longer.	000e8687

New California Republic

NCRCF Hostage#

Generic dialogue for the NCRCF hostage that the player would have been able to rescue from the prison:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Hostage	Please don't kill me.	000e4a24
Player	Who are you?
Hostage	I was one of the guards, they killed the rest.	000e4a23
Player	What happened here?
Hostage	The prisoners got dynamite into the cell blocks somehow. No idea how, but they did.	000da710
Hostage	Everyone's dead except me. If we'd had more to watch the prison, this never would have happened.	000da710
Player	Killing you is business. Nothing personal.
Hostage	No...	000da713

Here the player tells the hostage of his intent to kill them. With a medicine skill of 25, the player could administer medicine to kill him instead. The player line says "a lot less painless" - this may be a typo, as the intention behind the action seems to be to give the hostage a quick death.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Take this medicine - it'll make your death a lot less painless.
Hostage	Ergh.	000e4fe6
Player	Killing you is business. Nothing personal.
Hostage	No...	000da713

Here the player decides to free the hostage:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm here to rescue you. Make a run for it.
Hostage	What about the Gangers?	000e4a25
Player	You should be fine - go for it.
Hostage	All right, here I go. I'll meet up with you in Jean, that small town just west of the prison.	000e4a27
Player	On second thought, wait here for now.
Hostage	All right.	000e4a26

Dialogue intended for an unused encounter with the hostage at Jean:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Hostage	Thanks for getting me out of there. I can make it to the Mojave Outpost from here.	000d776a
Hostage	If you ever make it down there I'll see what I can do to repay you.	000d776a
Player	Good luck.
Hostage	Watch you're back out there.	000d7769
Player	You don't owe me a thing.
Hostage	No, I do. And I always pay up. Watch your back out there.	000d7767
Player	You'd better make it worth my time.
Hostage	Oh, right. Don't worry about it. I always pay up. Until then, just watch your back.	000d7766

Water Merchant#

Dialogue for a different iteration of the water merchant NPC involved in the second stage of I Fought the Law. Of note is that the NPC uses "we" instead of "I", suggesting he had company.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	If you pay up, they'll make sure no one else in this territory harasses you.
Merchant	Protection money for safe passage? Alright, since you put it that way, here's all the caps I can spare.	00E3EC8
Player	Forget it. Just get out of here.
Merchant	Yeah, don't expect to see us around these parts again.	00D7836
Player	This is powder gang territory, and there's a toll.
Merchant	But we already paid those other Powder Gangers up north.	00DA125
Merchant	So no. I'm not paying any toll. Not again.	00DA125
Player	This is powder gang territory, and there's a toll.
Merchant	But we already paid those other Powder Gangers up north.	00DA125
Player	Then I'll just kill you and loot everything from your corpse.
Merchant	We won't make it easy for you.	00D783B
Player	You should leave this area. The powder gangers are watching this spot.
Merchant	Thanks for the help, stranger. I already gave up most of my inventory to another pack of those bastards up north.	00DA127
Player	Don't make me kill you over a few caps. Is it worth it?
Merchant	Fine. Take what I have. I don't care anymore.	00D7838
Player	Don't make me kill you over a few caps. Is it worth it?
Merchant	I said no, and I meant it. I'm done being pushed and extorted by every thug in the wasteland.	00E454C
Player	What are you doing here?
Merchant	This is one of the few sources of clean water for miles. It's best to fill up when you have the chance.	00DA124

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Eddie	Another mercenary, huh? As it so happens, I'm looking to add a few hired guns to my gang.	000d7048
Player	Go on.
Eddie	First things first, I need to know that you're willing to pull the trigger whenever I say; no matter what.	000e4084
Eddie	I'm keeping one of the prison guards as my guest, just in case his friends from down south show up. Hasn't happened and I'm sick of feeding him.	000e4084
Eddie	Take care of him for me, permanently.	000e4084
Player	I think I'm in the wrong place. Goodbye.
Eddie	You walk in here, waste my time, and expect to walk right out again? No, I don't think so.	000e4085
