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

Recovered alongside the other builds were memory dumps from this prototype. They offer an insight at the content of this build.

ScriptsA large number of scripts were either altered or cut entirely.

Quests

Beyond The Beef#

Two unused objectives are present for this quest in this build. They reveal that at one point the player had the additional option to lure a "transient" into the Ultra-Luxe kitchen as an alternative source for the banquet. In this instance transient likely refers to an individual who has no ties to the area and will not be noticed if they go missing. Once in the kitchen, the player would have to dismember them entirely. Also of note is the first unused objective, which is a direct reference to the cut Underpass settlement:

Debt Collector#

Some unused objectives exist for this quest:

The first reveals that Santiago was at one point named "Angelo Montalban". The second reveals there was a cut portion where the player would have to ask around to determine Lady Jane's whereabouts. There is a player line present for doing this, however it is directed at Lady Jane herself. This suggests this portion of the quest was either not implemented or not too substantial.

I Fought The Law#

Two unused objectives have been recovered from this build for this quest. More information from these cut stages can be found on the page for the April 17th build, where recovered dialogue files help understand the specifics on how these stages would have proceeded.

My Kind Of Town#

A number of early objectives show how the NCR and Meyers' routes of the quest would've originally proceeded. Dialogue recovered from the April 17th build sheds more light on this early scenario.

Quarry Junction#

There are multiple remnants here for a cut interaction with the Powder Ganger Hawkins. Present in this build is a script named QJDeathclawHawkinsScript, presumably attached to one of the deathclaws harassing him. This script shows that this deathclaw would need to be killed before Hawkins would speak with the player:

ScriptName QJDeathclawHawkinsScript
Begin OnDeath
  Set VFreeformQuarryJunction.bHawkinsSaved to 1
  QJHawkinsRef.ResetAI
End

Additionally, a set of unused player prompts have been recovered from this build also, providing more detail on how the cut quest involving Hawkins would have unfolded. There are a number of player-only lines present for Chomps as well, which show that he would've attempted to accompany the player on their way to remove the deathclaw infestation. The player could let him tag along, or convince him to stay behind.

Someone to Watch Over Me#

Unused player lines indicate the third portion of this quest was originally quite different. In the final game, Andy Scabb is part of a gang that seeks to manipulate Alice in order to secure Crimson Caravan money collected by her father, Don Hostetler. Early dialogue however suggests that Andy Scabb was simply a ghoul who had entered into a relationship with Alice that her mother did not approve of. The player would have a number of options with how to proceed with the situation, they could take care of Andy on behalf of Mrs. Hostetler or aid the couple in their escape. In the final game, the player can convince Alice to leave her home to seek her own future. Unused conditions reveal that at one point the developers intended for an option where she and Andy could have travelled together. This is likely a remnant of the early version of this quest. This outcome is referenced in dialogue also.

These unused player lines are intended for conversation with Mrs. Hostetler:

And these lines are directed towards Andy:

There are also some dialogue lines present here to reveal Mr Hostetler's affair to Mrs Hostetler. While the dialogue for Mr Hostelter's part of the exchange has been recovered from the April 17th build, there are no responses present for Mrs Hostetler, leaving it unknown how she would have reacted:

The White Wash#

While the quest stages for an early version of The White Wash can be found in the final, there are a few cut objectives here that provide more context for how the early version of this quest would have played out:

At this point in development Dazzle was not located in Gomorrah but instead the West Vegas area, with her internal ID being VMS111EDazzle. This is referenced somewhat in the final, where she mentions being from Westside initially before being procured by the Omertas. She had a room at the El Rey Motel, in this build the door is named Dazzle's Motel Room. There was a dresser present within, SubDresserDazzle, which contained an NCR Trooper Helmet, Merc Grunt Outfit, binoculars and cigarettes. In the final, Dazzle is largely indifferent to White, but in this version the player had the option to return to tell her about White's death: "Your friend White is dead. I thought you'd like to know". It is not yet known what her response to this would be, however.

There is a cut segment of this quest that would've occurred near the beginning where the player would need to investigate the East Pump Station computer terminal for proof of the water shortage White was looking into. This is not referenced in the quest objectives, but is referenced in the quest stages. There is an unused guard NPC, Private Lai, who would've requested the player obtain permission from Romanowski first before permitting them entry. The player would then need to report back to Romanowski regarding this.

After doing this, the player would need to speak with the ghoul Wrench, found at the El Rey Motel. Dialogue for Wrench and Romanowski can be found in the BSA files for the April 17th build, and provides more context on their interactions. The super tool kit as an item is present in this build also. It had a weight of 10, and a value of 500. It used the generic toolbox01 model. There is an additional resolution to the quest present here as well. Originally, the player could extort Anderson for something from the Followers instead, as evidenced by the following player lines:

They Went That-A Way#

A series of unused quest objectives reveal the route to Benny was a lot different originally. Unused dialogue from the April 17th build revels more about this cut scenario.

VMS17 - How Little We Know#

In the final game there is no entry for this quest; the game skips straight to VMS18. In this build however, there is a name, blank script and entry. There do not seem to be any other objectives or substantial leftovers, so it's difficult to determine if this version of How Little We Know differed at all from the final.

You Can Depend On Me#

Two objectives found within the dumps suggest that at one point there was an objective to negotiate some kind of trade between the Boomers and Crimson Caravan company.

Young Hearts#

In the final, when the player speaks with Jack about Janet, she is automatically marked on the player's map. In an early version of the quest however, the player wouldn't immediately be alerted to Janet's location, and would have to speak with NPCs at the Crimson Caravan Company to determine who she was.

The player could discuss this with Caravaners, a Crimson Caravan Trader and generic Crimson Caravan Guards. This quest involved two NPCs who would later be cut, referred to internally as CrimsonCaravanTraderHM and CrimsonCaravanGuardCM2. Responses to some these lines can be found in the July build, and a number of early greeting lines have been recovered from the February 16th build also. Below are the player prompts for these lines, with responses taken from the July 21st build where available:

Perks

Altered#

Pack Rat#

This perk originally caused all items with a weight of 1 or lower to weigh nothing for the Player.

Comprehension#

The bonus granted to skill magazines by this perk was originally a lower +5 bonus.

Unused#

Cult of Personality#

This is an unused perk, a loading screen tip reveals the following information on its intended effect: "The Cult of Personality perk allows you to increase the number of companions in your party from one to two". Of significant note is that there is a leftover of this perk in the final game. When speaking with Mortimer during the Beyond the Beef quest, there is an option to offer a companion as replacement meal. Dialogue and scripting exist for Mortimer to react to the player having more than one companion in their party.

Unused Characters

1E Region#

1ERobobrain#

Form ID: EDC3B

An unused NPC from the 1E region designated internally as "1ERobobrain". This NPC has its own script, making sure it is set to unconscious when the game begins. Beyond this, however, little else is known about this NPC. They also have no placement data, so it's not known where exactly they would have been located.

Private Lai#

Form ID: EAC31

An NPC with the internal name 1ESharecropperTrooperAM. He was a part of an early iteration of The White Wash quest where he would've guarded the East Pump Station. The player would need to obtain permission from Romanowski first before being granted access. Some text only lines were recovered for this NPC from a build dated March the 26th, along with accompanying player lines.

Raphael#

Form ID: F05DC

Raphael was a Crimson Caravan guard present just west of Fields' shack at the train tracks there. He has two markers present in this memory dump, 1ERaphaelShootPackage and 1ERaphaelTargetMarker. These tell us he was set up to shoot at a target. Leftover player lines and dialogue. for him reveal he was practicing his marksmanship out of fear of his contract not being renewed. A successful skill check would have the player help him improve his shooting ability, which would update the condition bHelpedRaphael. It is unknown at this time what the consequences of this would have been, however.

He is mentioned in the final game in the VDialogueVegasEastScript: short bHelpedRaphael ; 1 = Player taught Raphael to shoot better

El Rey Motel#

Anna Maria#

Form ID: ED509

Her internal name is 1EAnnaMaria and her dialogue topics are labelled as either Westside or Doldrums, confirming her presence there. Unused player lines reveal more about her role in the game before she was cut. She had previously worked with the NCR, and the player could question her about the water shortage there, suggesting she had worked at the sharecropper farms specifically. Her main purpose seems to have been to ask the player to assist her brother Frankie, who is having a psychotic episode with a knife in the bathroom due to a bad reaction to the chem Med-X.

Frankie#

Form ID: E6FAF

An unused NPC located in Westside. The VDialogueVegasWest script present in the final game tells us that he was suffering from a bad reaction to the chem Med-X and that the player had the ability to cure him. Player lines for another unused NPC in Westside named Anna Maria reveal that the two were related in some way, possibly siblings, and that the player could attempt to help him as a favor for her. Dialogue is present for this NPC in audio files from the April 17th build. There is a script present for this character, named the DoldrumsFrankieScript, which reveals he was set up to spout a random line of dialogue at regular intervals.

Multiple lines in a text only format were recovered for this NPC also from a build dated February the 16th, including generic barks and a greeting line for after he was cured. In the final game, Frankie is completely removed, and the only NPC in his room is a dead body called ElReyDeadDruggie. However, checking this NPC reveals they actually have the same face as Frankie. So while he was mostly cut, he was in fact re-used this way.

Sleepy#

Form ID: EC7A4

Another Mr. Handy with the internal ID 1ESleepy. This was another of Wrench's robot companions, they have the same package that makes them follow Wrench.

Speedy#

Form ID: EC7A5

A Mr. Handy NPC with the internal ID 1ESpeedy. The 1EMrHandyFollowPackage is assigned to them, with Wrench being the linked reference. This reveals they were set to follow Wrench wherever he went.

Wrench#

Form ID: EC7A2

An unused ghoul NPC who was a part of the original scenario for the quest "The White Wash". Unused audio files for him exist in the April build. The player would have been able to question him about the water shortage there. He would also repair the player's equipment if asked. He has two robot companions present in this build, Sleepy and Speedy.

Crimson Caravan Compound#

Crimson Caravan Guard (CM2)#

Form ID: FED2B

An unused Crimson Carvan guard, located around the Crimson Caravan Compound. He has a greeting present in February 16th build, and like his colleagues could be asked about Janet's identity during the unused investigation phase of the Young Hearts quest. He has his own travel package, CrimsonCaravanGuardCM2Travel, but it does not have a location set, leaving it unknown where exactly he would have travelled to.

Crimson Caravan Trader (HM)#

Form ID: FA292

An unused Crimson Caravan Trader. He has an unused greeting present in February 16th build, and could be asked about Janet as a part of a cut portion of the Young Hearts quest. He is placed inside the Crimson Caravan compound with the rest of the Caravneers. He has a package also, CrimsonCaravanTraderHMPatrol, revealing he would have patrolled the inside of the compound.

The Strip#

Petey Guns#

Form ID: 116A3A

An NPC with the internal ID VTopsPeteyGuns. He is an old Caucasian male equipped with a set of Sexy Sleepwear and the Golden Gloves unique weapon. He is in the Tops casino, just outside of the playable area, west of the gambling hall.

Unknown#

Doc Thomas#

Form ID: ED50B

Internal ID NVDocThomas. His in-game race is CaucasianOld, and he is equipped with a wasteland surgeon outfit. Possibly related to Miriam.

Grigorsky#

Form ID: EF40F

His internal ID is the same as his in-game name. He is a Caucasian male with the class Vault Dweller, equipped with just a set of Raider Sadist Armor. There is a surviving topic and prompt for him in this build also, stored under the quest VMS06, confirming the connection between him and fellow cut NPCs Sen Lin and Xa Mo. Unfortunately, they do not reveal much about his purpose.

Jeremiah#

Form ID: ED4E4

His internal ID is NVJeremiah. He has the class Wasteland Preacher and wears Dirty Pre-War Businesswear. The script NVJeremiahScript is associated with his NPC, but contains only a single line: Beginondeath.. It tells us his death was to be of some consequence, but little else is known about the character beyond that.

Jimmy Horton#

Form ID: 10108C

His internal ID is the same as his in-game name. His in-game class is Powder Ganger, and he is equipped with Powder Ganger armor. Internally, he is not assigned to the Powder Ganger faction but is instead part of the Raider Faction. His aggression level is also set to "very agressive" revealing that he was likely intended to be hostile towards the player. There is another NPC entry present as well named HortonPowderGangerCM, suggesting he was the leader of a group.

Jimmy Horton Underling#

Form ID: 1011D6

An NPC with an in-game name of "Powder Ganger". His internal ID is "HortonPowderGangerCM". Like his leader, he is set up to be hostile to the player at all times.

Legendary Ghoul Ranger#

Form ID: EC7A6

An NPC with the internal ID LegendaryGhoulRanger. She is a female ghoul, equipped with a set of NCR Ranger Armor, but otherwise does not belong to any factions. There is little else in the files to betray what her final purpose would have been.

Miriam#

Form ID: ED507

An NPC with an internal ID of NVMiriam. She is a ghoul equipped with a wasteland settler outfit, head wrap and surgical mask. She is possibly connected to fellow NPC Doc Thomas.

Ripsaw#

Form ID: 100A4D

An unused NPC whose internal ID is the same as his in-game name. He is equipped with a set of Great Khan soldier armor, but there is little else that reveals his intended purpose yet.

Unused Dialogue

Some lines of unused player-only dialogue and topic names, that tell us about removed or altered interactions with NPCs.

Quarry Junction#

Chomps Lewis#

The following player lines reveal that Chomps Lewis would insist on accompanying the player into the Quarry. The player would need to convince Chomps to stay behind. He also has a line for asking about "the Wilkins girl", which refers to Jas from the mess hall.

In addition, the following topic names were also found, further hinting that the player may have needed to pass a skill check in order to successfully deter Chomps:

• QJChompsStaySneak
• QJChompsStaySpeech
• QJChompsFollowerYes
• QJChompsAboutFollowers

Melissa#

A number of topic names for interactions with Melissa. Interestingly, the player can question her about Cooke, and ask the person she is expecting is him. This may been related to an early subplot which saw the player search for Cooke at the Quarry, after successful completion of the quest, "I Fought The Law".

The Topic names are as follows:

• QJMelissaMeetingWho
• QJMelissaIsItCooke

An unused player line exists which implies that the player could secure the chem package before speaking with Melissa. This is not possible in the final game. There is also a line about Chomps.

Hawkins#

Some player lines for the Powder Ganger Hawkins. There are some topics missing here that are present in the final, such as QJHawkinsFollowerYes. Prompts for these lines may be present in later dumps.

Snuffles#

An unused line intended for Snuffles.

Novac#

Boone#

These lines are for the player's first meeting with Boone:

West Vegas#

Anna Maria#

A number of unused player lines that tell us she could've been spoken with regarding a cut task to cure fellow cut NPC named Frankie:

Yvette#

Some player lines for interacting with Yvette, leader of the Scorpions gang. They relate to the cut quest to secure ammunition for their newly acquired firearms.

Roller#

Some player lines for interacting with the Scorpions NPC Roller. These lines are somewhat extensive, allowing the player to ask about a variety of different topics.

Location Changes

El Rey Motel#

El Rey Motel Room 1 was originally named "Dazzle's Motel Room" and Dazzle could be found leaning on a wall just to the right of her door.

Freeside#

At this point Freeside was one world space, and not split into three. The extra space and lack of walls was taken advantage of by a complex NPC spawning system comprising of a large number of markers (VFSRandomXXSPX) and corresponding pairs of triggers (VFSRandomEncounterTriggerXX). Some of the markers for this exist in the final game in the area where Orris takes the player, but the rest were completely removed, and the encounter triggers were roughly replaced with the simplified thug spawning triggers in similar places in some locations. The system would work by the player walking through a pair of triggers, which would inform on which direction the player was walking, and spawn different random encounters out of sight ahead of them. These varied from benign spawns of gamblers and locals/squatters, to thugs and mixed spawns with civilians preyed on by thugs. As in the final game these would intensify at night and make having a bodyguard a better investment.

The world space itself had some obvious but also subtle differences that would make navigating the town very different. Changes include:

• No bus door blocking the main road between the Strip and North gates
• No debris blocking the road between the East gate and King's house
• The Mormon Fort was open and part of the main world space
• An extra path existed from the North gate to the area where Pacer has a standoff with the NCR troops in G.I. Blues
• The otherwise pointless area Orris takes the player down as his detour during G.I. Blues in fact was missing the corner building here, allowing access to the Eastern squatter area and a direct path to the East gate. This would allow a fast route from the East gate to the Strip and vice-versa that's not possible in the final game

The Strip#

The initial design for The Strip is visible in this dump. Here it existed in the world space 'TheStripWorld'. What's notable about it is that unlike Freeside, the change to the final game's new worldspace ('TheStripWorldNew') was seemingly not to split up the space, but to fundamentally redesign and shrink the location. The final game worldspace exists on a square island of raised land, with the actual building/play area consuming around 50% of it. In fact this was the original boundary of 'TheStripWorld' which used up nearly all of the area. The original gate to Freeside was located right at the North East boundary of this raised area, and there were even buildings located at the opposite far corner from here. The basic layout of the area was largely the same, but on a far larger scale, with most buildings at least arranged further back from the main road, which at this point was more of a lazy S-shape than the straight line of the final strip. It also likely used building models set at a greater scale (as seen in the first iteration of the 'TheStripWorldNew' in later dumps), and at this point the casinos used generic doorway models rather than the unique ones created for the them later in development.

There was also a complex set of markers and an army of NPCs to populate the larger area. The final game VstreetFluff scripts (e.g. VStreetFluffNPCTriggerMoveEToNE) are actually for this iteration of the game, but the markers are removed, and the commands are all commented out so they mostly do little of their original functionality.

The arrangement of some buildings was very different. Vault 21 was located between The Tops and Gomorrah at this point, Michael Angelo's Sign Shop was likely present here as well. It seems the NCR Embassy may have been located next to the Lucky 38, parallel with the Freeside gate. There is also a further large multi-door building at the South West corner of the map that may have been intended as a further casino that was later abandoned.

It's likely this iteration of The Strip was cut for the same reasons the final one was eventually split up - performance. As-is it would have been a huge open area with a lot going on inside, and also would have taken the player a long time to traverse. TheStripWorldNew seems to have been an attempt to tighten up the design from both a performance and gameplay perspective.
