This is something that I actually realized when I watched this video. Boone never told anyone that he knew what happened to Carla, so how did Jeannie come to the conclusion that Boone thought his wife was kidnapped? It just shows she knew more than what she's letting on, and it actually amazes me that the writers of this game would be so clever to put in contradictions in a liar's story that you really have to pay attention and think before the ultimate reveal was shown, like a detective. Honestly I would love to know how Nick Valentine would deal with this scenario.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

They also have red herrings in the story. You have Manny, who is very open about his hatred of her and you have No-Bark who is insane so who knows what he is capable of, you have to actually notice the small things to really notice who it was. Besides what you said and what No-Bark explains, another thing to note is she is VERY prideful about Novac. If you insult the place she is very offended by this, and gets very aggressive. This shows us that anyone who disrespects her town earns her scorn. Carla did that a lot, so besides Manny, Jennie would have a bone to pick with Carla too. So you could see either of them being responsible, No-Bark, while insane, does not have the mental faculties to set up such a thing. So you look at the facts. They both hate her and would want her to be gone...except Manny is former NCR, no way is he making a deal with the Legion, I doubt the Legion would even make a deal with NCR, former or otherwise. Its unlikely regardless of motive, so the only likely target is Jennie. She hates anyone who disrespects her town, she hates Carla, and No-Bark, while rambling, still notably mentions a location that she frequents. Its not the most complicated mystery but its still well crafted, you have at least two subjects and even No-Bark spelling it out for you isn't clear cut because the dude is talking about Mole Rat people, he could be delusional about every part of the story. Its a good plot, they did a good job.

Jeannie did what she did because she didnt want Boone to leave, she knew that Carla would sooner or later get him to go to Vegas rather than live in a small town the rest of their days, and Jeannie would be one sniper short. so she sold her for caps and to keep him a sniper, which no doubt part of the deal was that they would leave Boone alone.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

Rape is one of those things they are referring to when they say fates worse then death. So is torture. The question is would you say it was a tough call if you knew Boone's wife was going to be tortured every day. In a way she was gonna be. I think Boone did the right thing. He never would have been able to get either of them back. So not pulling the trigger would have been consigning them to torment for the rest of their lives in the name of keeping his hands clean of the direct action. Which is just cowardly and hypocritical. Boone is a brave man...he was willing to hate himself rather then leave those he cared about to a fate that would have made death a blessing. Feeling compassion for Boone is right. No one should have to make the choices he had to...but the wasteland has a way of asking for high prices.

[@trrebi981]

Jacob Freeman See whenever I do this mission, I can’t help but think of what would’ve happened if The Courier had met Boone before he tracked his pregnant wife down. Would’ve been great to bust a slaver’s auction, guns blazing, maybe with some NCR support, and slay everyone there that spoke Latin. Not a lot of missions for saving slaves in this game, it’s one of the few things I felt was missing. They coulda made it super difficult, but I wish there was a choice to do it.!Would’ve felt really cathartic.

What the NCR did at Bittersprings was horrific and wrong, whether mistake or not. But the Khan's have no right to complain, Bitter-Root made it explicity clear that at least a portion of the Great Khans happily killed NCR citizens, including children who had done nothing wrong. Not to defend themself or deter raiders, but for training and to steal. The NCR looks back on Bittersprings and is ashamed, but the Khans have no shame or regret for what they did.

[@ShadowTheYoukai]

Damn right. I may have a mod that lets me take an unlimited amount of followers with me, but I always keep Boone around for a couple reasons. One is that having a big party is hell on my graphics card. Second is that he's holds true to a sniper. Give him a nice, powerful rifle (I have him equipped with a PSG1 thanks to a mod) and some armor piercings .308 rounds and he mows through even deathclaws, sometimes before I can even draw my weapon. And it's even worse if I got ED-E with us. Those two are the Fawkes and Dogmeat for my party.

[@sircastic959]

+Shadow O´Neill Basically the same for me, only I don´t have unlimited companions and I gave Boon the Survivalist-Rifle, I think it is just perfect, because usually I will snipe at long distances so for Boone I need stopping power at medium to close range and this Weapon is the perfect mix of accuracy, dmg, dps and efficient use of ammo, most enemies die within one magazine, it´s no problem if he misses a shot, the reload is fast and it is a gun that I would not use anyway because I hate the ironsights of the Service-Rifle. And for backup I have him carry the Gobi-Rifle. The only Way to rly top that in terms of Bang for your Buck is to give Veronca (or maybe Arcade?) Eljas LAER, force her to go ranged and have her use MF or MF-Bulk. But then I would miss out on Boone and the Spotter-Perk.

In this case here's what I would do. Quicksave, pick the nihilist option. Use "showinventory" on Boone to get the ID of the armor and type "additem (BaseID)" and then reload the quicksave and pick the other option. Then you can open console and press the up arrow key to get the command since you already used it in console and it will add that armor to his inventory, and if you have to you can take the other armor out. Cheaty but it's the best you can do.

That's the one thing I was sad about with New vegas. The lack of romanceable partners. I always have one playthrough of my games with both genders and I try to play it in a way I see fitting for that character - not me. Meaning there's little to no lesbian action going on just because I personally am not attracted to men. Though as a side note, I consider it a good idea for the female Sole Survivor of Fallout 4 to go "lesbian" due to the fact that she had JUST lost her husband and that finding a new man might just seem disrespectful and.. somewhat out of character. A same sex fling seems more viable there. Also I find Curie adorable.. hard to avoid that. But I digress! I wanted Boone to find happiness with my female Courier. I like to imagine they stuck together after the entire ordeal. He's a good man and deserves to live happily. The female Courier isn't some damsel that needs his protection either, so it would be a huge burden off his shoulder and would allow him to just enjoy life with her over worrying every single second to have to go through the same again.

Damn the dedication to storytelling... You can see why Boone feels fate is out to get him. After Bitter Springs, he had to shoot his own pregnant wife, and he not lives all alone, with the only motivation being to kill legionaries and find who sold his wife. He has lost all hope of redemption until you meet him. Meanwhile, in Todd Howard's script: Shaun (Father) sets you free and when you meet him tells you he didn't expect you to survive... When you ask him why he didn't unfreeze you immediately when he came in charge he says "there was initially no... logical reason to do so." but then there still is no reason when he decides to do so... he says, and I quote: "Certainly it was no longer to keep you suspended... I... Well, I suppose I wanted to see what would happen." The fuck..? Not to mention Fallout 3 where you have to die from radiation activating the purifier, when Fawkes could do it but doesn't, because "We all have our destinies... I would not rob you of that."

Stories like this one make me wonder. Why does Fallout have so many interesting and well developed companions but the companions in Skyrim are generic as fuck?

well fallout 3 and 4 arent as good. new vegas is just odd. its made by a company for hire, but the company was founded by the people who left interplay after making the first 2 fallouts.

[@ZaleraArkanus666]

HATECELL Huh... Thats a good question. There isn't anyone in Skyrim that I like as much as Fawkes, Boone, or Nick Valentine. Hell ED-E has more personality than most companions Skyrim, save one or two of them.

The writing in this game was just awesome, each of the companions had a great story and really engrossed you in their lives. Thank you for sharing these.

[@bimi4057]

Boone is the reason I've only done a couple "bad" characters. I can't bring myself to not use him or even kill him, considering his story. He makes roleplaying difficult.

It's also hard to keep most of the companion since most of them are against Ceaser Legion.

What I did to find out who tipped the Legion off was I interviewed the whole town. After that, I reviewed all the info the suspects gave me. Right of the bat, I crossed out Manny and No-Bark because No-Bark stays secluded in his shack and is not in the right shape to talk correspond with the Legion of all things. Manny, however, I crossed off because it's almost never the usual suspects. Stereotypical, I know, but I went with my gut and the fact that he would never do anything like that to his childhood friend. Then none of the other candidates stuck out to me except one of the ladies in one of the houses and Jeannie. The woman in the house seemed real jealous of Boone's wife, but that was really all that pointed to her. I then narrowed it down to Jeannie because she was the last person someone would expect, and she was the last person on my list. She has that "sweet, never would harm a fly" act and I saw through it. Plus, she was the one with the safe, so after I checked it, I had my proof. just wanted to share my little New Vegas detective story. Would love to hear what everyone else did in the reply section of this comment!

[@extra4594]

I felt somethinf was off with jeannie from the get go and once i opened the safe I was proven right

[@GrayAndGrey]

When you arrive and talk to Jeanny May and disparage the town, she gets really angry. After meeting Boone, and interviewing the locals (and No-Bark) about Carla, I remembered Jeanny May's hostility for disparaging Novac. Like Carla may have done. Saw the safe, cracked it open, saw the bill of sale.... Boom. Headshot.
