This is a sub-page of Proto:Fallout: New Vegas.

A build from late March. Loaded into the memory for this dump are a number of dialogue responses for encounters that were either altered for the final or cut entirely.

Quests

My Kind Of Town#

The original scenario for this quest saw Primm attacked by a group of NCR deserters, as opposed to Powder Gangers in the final. The scene of the attack was also originally the Vikki and Vance Casino, not the Bison Steve. When the quest was revised, the NPCs were repurposed into a separate encounter that occurs later at the casino. Some of their dialogue was retained and adapted for the new scenario, but dialogue specific to this scenario was not carried over. While this dialogue is present in the April build, present here are player prompts and dialogue conditions that help better understand how the conversation would occur and what conditions needed to be met in order to trigger certain interactions.

A Pair Of Dead Desperados#

An unused line was recovered for Alexander's dialogue from this build. The line is not spoken dialogue, but a description of what would be unlocked if the player opted to sell Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun to him in an early version of this quest. It is not yet known however what these "special orders" were exactly:

Unused Dialogue

Layla#

A number of unused skill checks are present in the early version of the conversation. This is a luck check used for intimidating the group:

A speech check to gain more context on the massacre:

A more difficult speech check:

A "Terrifying Presence" check: the game determines the response based on whether the player has the perk or not. In the final, there are no alternate responses for if the player does not have the perk, the dialogue choices simply do not appear:

This is a response to a failed skill check, but it's not entirely clear what the player prompt was:

These lines are specific to the early version of the quest, notably, they mention the murder of the casino's inhabitants. In the final, the raiders occupy the Bison Steve, and the Vikki & Vance is instead a safe haven.

These lines are not overly noteworthy, being only slightly different when compared with the final.

Neil#

An unused line of dialogue for Neil, the super mutant at Black Mountain. This line is for after Crazy Crazy Crazy has been completed. Here he states he will return to Jacobstown, while in the final he opts to stay behind at Black Mountain:

Private Lai#

Some dialogue for the cut guard originally positioned outside of the East Pump Station. He was part of an unused stage of the quest The White Wash where the player had to investigate the East Pump Station for information on the supposed water shortage.

The Forecaster#

Some text only lines were recovered for Clay, The Forecaster. This is not spoken dialogue, but a description of the original version of the scene. A version exists for each Forecast. In the final there is no special effect for when the Forecaster gives his readings, it is the same as any other spoken dialogue.
