Veronica

Veronica Renata Santangelo is a Brotherhood of Steel Scribe who can be found at the 188 Trading Post in 2281.

Background
Born in 2254, Veronica is a Brotherhood of Steel journeyman scribe who has been indefinitely assigned to the role of "procurement specialist", responsible for venturing out of the Brotherhood bunker to find and acquire resources that the Brotherhood cannot create on its own. Irritated by what she sees as the Brotherhood’s unrealistic and uninformed views of themselves and the world, Veronica is a perpetual outsider caught between her loyalty to the Brotherhood and troubling doubts about the validity of their current course.

She seems to be obsessed with the idea of obtaining a dress, though her default apparel is too strong to allow her to equip any dresses given to her. Veronica will thank the player for giving her a dress even though she will not equip it. She says "Thank you. I'll be sure to try it on later." Note that (Dirty) Pre-War Spring outfit counts as a dress.

You can give her the White Glove Society Attire (Dress) found from the members in the Ultra-Luxe, which will prompt her to thank you by teaching you a new melee move. She will still not wear this dress, however.

Interactions with the player character
As a companion, Veronica prefers to use unarmed weapons, and grants the Scribe Assistant perk.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
- If you choose not to let her come along when you first meet her, she will sometimes no longer be available for recruitment. The dialogue options will not allow her to join. (on 360 not PS3, needs confirmation) When telling her you can't have her come along just yet (because of full party), you may not receive her as a companion sometimes, even after making one party member leave. After making one party member leave and talking to her again, you receive the option to have her come along, on selecting that option she will say her usual dialog, then a choice option pops up only leaving you to choose to tell her she can not come along just yet. This bug does not seem to happen to everyone. On the 360 version Veronica's Power Fist will disappear and be replaced by an over-sized hand. This happened while in vault 34, reloading can fix the problem.(need confirmation on PS3)

- If you have Veronica and ED-E, she might disappear forever. If you are on the main quest and you go up to the lucky 38 hotel, Victor will ask you to leave your friends behind, if you do and then come back out she will be gone but ED-E will still be there.

- Sometimes after entering a casino with Veronica, upon exiting you will receive her weapon (the Power Fist) and will not be able to give it back to her. (Only confirmed on PS3 version). This item may be equipped, but dropping it on the ground will show the "steal label" but you will not be able to pick it up. this seems to only happen with The Tops casino.

- She disappeared after being left in the Lucky 38 Suite. PC Version. EDIT: Console recover via player.moveto 0000e32a9. 000e32a9 is Veronica's RefID. Go-go PC Version.

- PC version: After completing I Could Make You Feel, Veronica stopped following the player; she'll head to the Lucky 38 when dismissed, but when re-hired she'll stay where she is. May be related to the player having used the "kill+resurrect" commands to expedite her recovering consciousness

- Ps3 Version - When wearing the T-51 Brotherhood Armor (Dressed as Brotherhood member) The dialogue will keep triggering with her (this happened inside of Novac Hotel Room)- After changing clothing she stops but after equiping the T-51 it repeated.
