Neil (Fallout: New Vegas) is a first generation super mutant living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background

Neil was sent to Black Mountain by Marcus to spy on Tabitha, who had previously overthrown him and taken control of the area. And, instead now warns other mutants to go to Jacobstown instead. He hints at another reason as to why he's not at Jacobstown. He is distinguishable from other super mutants due to the 3 scars located above his right eye.

Quests

Neil gives the player the Crazy, Crazy, Crazy quest to take down Tabitha. He can be persuaded to help the Courier in attacking Black Mountain (50 Speech). If so he'll tell the player to meet him at the top of the mountain and will then help the player there later on. However this may be counter productive since he has a habit of running into your gunfire causing him to turn hostile. You have been warned

Notes

Appearances

Neil (Fallout: New Vegas) appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

• PC When waiting to help you at the top of Black Mountain, Neil will give the response "whatever you do be quick about it" no matter what you tell him. This is caused by having a lot of extra, unnecessary conditions for the "Let's go" response. Fix here: [1]

Same happened on PC

• Playstation 3 If you accept Neil's help but enter Black Mountain from the locked gate on the SW side (by Tabitha's room) instead of going through the checkpoints, Neil will run around randomly when you approach him and cannot be spoken to. Waiting causes his map marker to move near the domes, but he is nowhere to be found.
• Xbox 360 If the first time you visit Black Mountain and don't accept Neil's help he will wander off, When you return later he can sometimes be found stuck under a rock or killed further down the road.
• Xbox 360 Often when he is talking his mouth movements are out of sync or aren't moving at all.
• Xbox 360 After meeting with Neil near the Crater of Black Mountain and speaking with him to assist,(Had sucessfully passed the speech check) he then became glitched behind/on a nearby rock and couldn't move or assist. Was later found in same place but moving again.
• Xbox 360 After meeting with Neil near the Crater of Black Mountain and speaking with him to assist,(Had sucessfully passed the speech check) he then ran off never to be seen again.
• If you go to neil shack at night there will be super mutant brutes although neil is there he will neither help you fight them or turn on you when attacking them.
