Neil (Fallout: New Vegas)

"The future is not written, human, and it is foolish to squint at what cannot be seen."

- Neil

Neil 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. He 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

 * Crazy, Crazy, Crazy: Neil tasks the player with taking 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.

Appearances
Neil appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * 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:
 * If you accept Neil's help but enter Black Mountain from the locked gate on the southwest 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.
 * 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.
 * Often when he is talking his mouth movements are out of sync or aren't moving at all.
 * After meeting with Neil near the Crater of Black Mountain and speaking with him to assist,(Had successfully 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.
 * After meeting with Neil near the Crater of Black Mountain and speaking with him to assist,(Had successfully passed the speech check) he then ran off never to be seen again.
 * If you go to Neil's Shack at night there will be super mutant brutes although Neil is there he will neither help you fight them nor turn on you when attacking them.
