The Ridiculously Hidden Quests Of Fallout: New Vegas

[Music] in fallout new vegas the player will commonly receive a plethora of quests as they go about venturing through the harsh lands of the nevada desert these quests can vary in importance and length but for the sake of this video they can essentially be broken down into two categories being that of marked quests and unmarked quests to better help explain these two categories and how they differ i'll use an to follow explanation in the local small town of prim there exists a dilemma that the player will eventually encounter the locals of the town are left vulnerable as their local sheriff department has pretty much vanished and the town has been overrun with convicts your job as the player is to find a new replacement sheriff and maybe deal with that convict problem or you could make it worse here when you get this quest there is a pip-boy journal that provides information on the current quest alongside a quest marker that will move the player in the right direction once you finally find a solution and finish the quest you will receive some xp in a nice little pop-up confirming the completion of the quest [Music] this is a marked quest the game is actively letting you know that the quest exists updating you on important information and giving you a quest marker that points you in the right direction on the other hand once you finish this quest and wait exactly three days the local casino inside prim the vicky invents casino will be visited by a small band of mercenaries this here is an unmarked quest named a team of moronic mercenaries where you must dispatch the thugs at hand and liberate the casino waiting another three days before it reopens to the player which surprise surprise is one of the better hidden active casinos in the game this is an unmarked quest no pip-boy journal no quest marker just some small hints a bit of dialogue and a nudge in the right direction there exists a total of 83 unmarked quests within the base game of fallout new vegas which begs the question how many of these does the average player come across what are the most hidden quests in fallout new vegas [Music] unmarked quests can vary in length pretty severely some quests are as simple as fixing a radio for trudy inside good springs while some other unmarked quests are actually longer than their counterparts being long enough and hard enough to be a marked quest in their own right so keep that in mind going forward i'm going to cover both short and long quests and i'm also going to start from what i perceive as the more well-known quests of the game and make my way down to the more obscure ones before the end of this video with that being said let's begin [Music] so almost everyone knows that in sloan there's these two unmarked quests one for healing the injured leg of little snuffles over here the mole rat another quest for retrieving a deathclaw egg from quarry junction these are two pretty cool quests but did you know in sloan there was a hidden third quest that's right outside of the main mining office situated in the middle of sloan this sits a broken down generator this generator can either be repaired or scrapped resulting in the completion of the unmarked quest titled power to the people if you do decide to fix the generator the lights inside the mining office will be repaired and functioning as opposed to that broken down state before alongside some extra dialogue from chomps lewis it's nice to see things going the way they're supposed to for a change i'm going to pay you out of my own pocket for this one if you want a head start in repairing ede down in prim scrapping this generator is always a good start across the nevada desert you will often see these tumbleweeds that roll around blowing from town to town these tumbleweeds are nothing more than a visual accessory to the game of fallout new vegas but one nightkin didn't get the memo this is the wind brahmin wrangler quest on which you can purchase a quote-unquote wind brahman it doesn't take too long to realize he's referring to the tumbleweeds behind him as this night can seize them as some form of cattle if you wish to purchase these wind brahmin the nightkin rustler will politely ask in return for all of your caps and if you accept he'll walk away and leave the wind brahman for you to rustle this is a peculiar unmarked quest as it's essentially nothing more than just a funny interaction but a fun little fact about this quest was that on any patch before 1.4.0.525 the wrangler would also give the player a free stealth boy with the purchase of the wind brahman maybe suggesting that this nightkin was ready to turn a new leaf and leave his chem fueled life behind moving over to cat mccarron we have one of the most unique quests in any of the fallout games that utilizes the grab mechanic i'm of course talking about the ncr body recovery quest of a final plan for esteban private morales a widowing soldier of the ncr is seen in distress inside camp mccarran it's here that we discovered that her lit husband esteban morales was left dead inside fiend territory with the ncr refusing to recover his body an act that is claimed to be very unusual for the ncr it's here we can venture out north east of repconn just south of camp mccarran to find his dead body and bring it back to the ncr checkpoint featured nearby there are a few fiends here who will attack you but they're not a big deal on recovery of the dead body the ncr soldiers will have this to say oh my god are you okay you've got to get to a medic doc kemp can pat you up back at base how could you sacrifice your body like that you never even met him if the ncr doesn't have a medal for this they should make one up and we can head back to esteban's wife to get more dialogue and a nice little discount on some medical goods from dr kemp hey i heard you were able to recover morales corpse in thanks you get a discount on supplies it was a real honorable thing you done there kid much appreciated however i do know that this quest is pretty well known but inside camp mccarran there is probably another unmarked quest that i believe is a little more rare that features the player recovering meat and herbs for a local chef kurumit never makes good soup is a quest provided by william farber the chef at camp mccarran he wants the player to perform free tedious tasks to bring the food supply of the ncr up to standard we must find a suitable meat and herb supplier fix a broken food processing machine situated in the kitchen at camp mccarran and also requires some food additives to make the meals taste that much better now this is a tall task and is honestly long enough to be a mocked quest entirely we can set up a meat supply with a variety of vendors across the wasteland but a good idea is always blake from crimson caravan as he's more than happy to supply the ncr with a stable line of food as for repairing the food processor in the kitchen you can either retrieve this extended list of supply parts to mend the machine yourself or you could have 80 repair and as for the food additives well i hope you enjoy fault 22. with all the kitchen supplies fixed and the food located faba will then offer you a discount on his long list of food supplies alongside some ncr fame honestly this quest is just horrible and the rewards are dog [ __ ] so we're just gonna move on to the next quest [Music] the area of aerotech office park is one of the most overlooked areas in new vegas altogether a lot of players will simply dash to either freeside or camp mccarran once they've ventured past this northern threshold of the map but aerotech park has one of my favorite unmarked quests in the game if you speak to captain parker the ncr soldier situated within aerotech he'll ask you to recover evidence that a local man named keefe has been dealing drugs and partaking in some crooked gambling you can also find out that keith and captain parker aren't the best of friends as they've had run-ins with each other plenty of times in the past the quest itself is fairly simple as we can just find the cards that keith uses to cheat in gambling and also confront him about his side hustle of selling drugs but what makes this quest so special is the way that captain parker deals with the findings after our investigation it's here we can tag along to watch the arrest take place live like an episode of live pd before the unfortunate happens keith in the name of the ncr i'm placing you under arrest for illicit gambling and the sale of unlicensed chems [ __ ] you man i ain't going nowhere with you come quietly now i don't want to have to hurt you why don't you go cry to your wife then oh that's right she left your worthless stinking ass you son of a [ __ ] [Applause] yeah he just kills the guy anyways that was the unmarked quest of keith's caravan charade now we've made it roughly nine minutes into the video and we haven't even visited the new vegas strip yet vault 21 is located at the back end of the new vegas strip and everyone knows that it is the home of one of the few snow globes within the game but did you know that this snow globe is located within the room of sarah wayne troub who is actually one of the few available romance partners for the player however unlocking this ability requires the completion of the unmarked quest suits you sarah this quest is unlocked through the dialogue with sarah where she'll claim to sell all loads of vault-tec goodies before breaking down and exposing the truth of her gift shop she has no vault suits all the popular stuff has been sold especially the vault suits i need to find more because people buy them like hotcakes so we the player must go out into the various vaults and locate 30 various iconic jumpsuits for our fair maiden upon recovering all 30 and bring them back to sarah she'll offer the player some spicy dialogue to which you're granted with a short cut scene and that typical fade to black i have a feeling that this one is more known than i think it is just because i can picture a bunch of you guys googling the various romance partners of fallout new vegas and stumbling across this quest inside the boomer's base up at nellis we can find a small schoolhouse that is used to raise and educate the younglings of the boomer's population here if we have seven or more charisma we can actually strike up a conversation with the kids and get some unique dialogue for each and every one of them what's even more interesting is that if you have a plethora of toy rockets or dinosaurs you can offer them to the kids as a toy with their own unique dialogue and reaction you can even offer this one kid a psycho but i don't have to tell you that that's a bad idea this is the unmarked quest named malleable mini boomer minds but it's not the only quest hidden inside the schoolhouse if we talk to the only child here not named minnie boomer known as lindsay we can actually receive a quest named bear necessities lindsay has a small bear named mr cuddles who unfortunately went missing one day and were now tasked to find it she leaves us a note which is a bit [ __ ] but if you know where to look you could find him laid amongst some crits in the main hangar where royal and jack usually hang out if we return to lindsay we can either give her back the bear and gain some boomer fame or we could tell her that mr cuddles died no not mr cuddles the final quest of this video is honestly just something else entirely not only did i not know about this quest until fairly recently but it has slowly became one of my favorite interactions in the entire fallout series i'm talking about the secret nightkin brahmin quest over at novak if you arrive at novak and speak with either of the two ugliest residents of the town being that of genie crawford or noback you can gain some slight intel that the mcbrides are having some sort of nocturnal issue if we then speak with dusty mcbride we can figure out that their small brand of brahmin seated near their house have been getting prayed on almost every night this quest is solved in a pretty basic way we can just wait until midnight to see what exactly is happening before eventually a stealthed up night can will appear and do this talking to me not exactly the quietest approach then if we follow this niken we can find it's been hiding behind this small rock this entire time there is nowhere to interact with this nikken unfortunately the only way to advance this quest is to kill them doing so will drop a small holo tip named the screams of brahman which is also what this unmarked quest is called this holotape doesn't play any audio instead it leaves us with a description of what's on it being that of most of what is recorded here is a mess of incomprehensible psychotic gibberish it seems to express a general frustration towards a set of brahmin who are allegedly keeping the offer awake at night by screaming inside his head whenever he closes his eyes the brahmin are saved and we can return to dusty where we will receive a measly 75 caps but a nice set of 10 brahmin steaks for our troubles finishing off one of the best short interactions in the game of fallout new vegas now i did miss out a lot of unmarked quests that i'm sure some of you would have loved to see like the golden pimp boy free billion or the now infamous unmarked quest of shooting the balder city memorial but i am curious to hear what quest you guys believe should have made this video so feel free to let me know by commenting down below also make sure to subscribe as it lets me see what content you guys like and also lets you see when i upload a new video i'm thinking about making a video topic like this for fallout 3 and fallout 4 but as always i've been at zjabo with more content to come real soon i'll see you guys next time and goodbye

I remember doing an NCR run and looking up quests for karma. There was one where a woman’s husband died behind enemy lines but no one would be sent over to retrieve the body. No quest markers, just a note and a new map marker. I do it every run now because I feel bad for her.
