Fallout: New Vegas/Characters/New California: Difference between revisions

* [[General Ripper]]: Especially towards the Brotherhood. Only partially justified because in the battle of HELIOS ONE, she received a crippling injury which forced her early retirement as a ranger that she is very bitter about, even though she was promoted to Colonel after that.

* [[Glory Hound]]: Some [[Dummied Out]] content reveals that she gets promoted post-game in the event of an NCR ending - most-likely due to taking credit for the Courier's missions.

* [[Iron Lady]]

* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: Col. Moore has been with the NCR for decades now and served 5 tours in the Brotherhood war where she was severely injured and [[Kicked Upstairs]]. Her discussions of her past work have her discuss how she misses being out on patrol and being a desk jockey isn't her thing with one of the most bitter tones in the game.

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

* [[Guile Hero]]: When asked what his proudest achievement is during his long career as a Ranger, Hanlon doesn't talk about Hoover Dam or any other military campaign, but rather tells a story about a group of NCR settlers who had gone missing and whom Hanlon was dispatched to find. Upon finding them, he finds that they have taken over the only water supply in the entire area, and had "self-defensed" hundreds of indigenous people to death when they tried to reclaim their water. Hanlon tricked the settlers into believing the tribals had succeeded in wiping out Hanlon's entire Ranger squad (when in fact Hanlon had been sent alone), scaring them into abandoning the settlement and returning to California with Hanlon and thus ending the situation without further bloodshed. This provides an insight into how Hanlon views himself, and somewhat explains his decision to {{spoiler|fake demoralizing battle reports to drop NCR morale, in order to force an end to the Mojave Campaign and have the troops return home to California.}}

* [[Knight Templar]]: {{spoiler|Turns out he's actively falsifying information and sabotaging NCR defenses in hopes this will get them to pull out, despite the fact that this can very easily get many NCR soldiers and almost everyone in the Mojave killed.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}: {{spoiler|If the Courier chooses to expose the fact that he's been falsifying information, he gives a speech through the intercom to his men before committing suicide.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Realization]]}}: {{spoiler|If you have killed Caesar or discovered his illness, you can end the Return to Sender quest by telling Halon that the Legion will be a massive threat to all of the NCR without their leading ideologist alive, which causes Halon to come back to his senses and agree to stop falsifying the reports. Going with this option also means that he is not [[Driven to Suicide]]}}.

* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Has a Ranger Sequoia like all NCR Rangers.

* [[The Rival]]: To Oliver. Hanlon considers him a [[General Failure]] while Oliver wants to use the second Battle of Hoover Dam as his chance to outshine him.

* [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: President Target, to be exact. Depending on who you side with, you'll either help his speech or his assassination go off without a hitch, or interrupt both if you can't stand the blowhard but are bound by the mission to save him.

* [[Rousing Speech]]: The reason why he traveled to Hoover Dam is to give one of these. But things will go horribly wrong unless you intervene.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: After his great speech, he tells his men:
