About the variability of quests in Fallout New Vegas, but one example.
So the NKR ambassador in New Vegas asks us to come to his place. He asks us to deal with the aggression against his soldiers from the “Kings” gang located in the territory adjacent to Vegas, aka “Freeside”. We are immediately told that it is not the entire gang that is to blame, but a specific member of it, which is why it is proposed to kill him, but it is advisable to frame everything as an accident (you can get involved with his drugs) or make it so that they think not of the NKR (kill him so that no one saw, with energy weapons, what would they think of the Van Graff family - in fact, the only sellers of energy weapons in the area, and who have a conflict with this dude) otherwise a scandal, and you can also try to somehow come to an agreement, however, you can kill the target in a simple rude way, but this is the worst outcome, but also an option. I go to the head of the gang, the King, and try to negotiate peacefully. It is worth noting here that I had previously completed quests for the King and after one of the quests, he said that he would fulfill one, but any of my requests. Then I didn’t think ahead and asked for his passport to get to Vegas. And now, I ask him with this problem, to which he answers me that the matter is not simple and he does not want to deal with it, and to my request he replies that he has already fulfilled one wish, but we did not agree on the second. Those. if I had reserved my wish, then the quest would apparently have already been completed, and peacefully. I don’t remember why, but I didn’t kill the gang member who needed to be killed. I returned to the ambassador and said, well, it didn’t work out, to which he tells me to go to General Moore, she’ll sort it out, but he added that before that, it’s better to go to Colonel James Shue, because Moore usually acts tough , and Shu can offer a peaceful option. And again we see variability in the passage. As a result, I went to Shu, he proposed a peaceful option, with this proposal I came to the King and the King agreed, but the bandit who had to be killed did not want to compromise with the NKR, a shootout ensued in which he and the gang members who died were on his side, but nevertheless the conflict between the gang of Kings and the NKR was settled, and the quest was completed. But the shootout might not have happened if I had eliminated this black sheep earlier or if I had turned to General Moore, then most likely the entire gang of kings would have been destroyed. In short, there are a lot of options.
Of course, not all quests in NV are so varied, but almost all are interesting and memorable.
Was there something similar in 4K? And in 3k? This is what the fans of the original Fouls expected from the new parts, and not all this...
