Fallout: New Vegas Scripted Encounters

Within Fallout: New Vegas there are random encounters similar in style to those in Fallout 3. These encounters can happen at specific points or be completely random happening when they happen.

Fallout New Vegas Random Encounters
Several of the Random encounters can be replaced by the Wild Wasteland perk. Most notable of these encounters being the three alien surveyors past the ranch near a hovering alien ship.

Powder Ganger Event
Possibly encountered anywhere, but encountered along the road you follow leaving goodsprings. A random Powder Ganger will appear and initiate a conversation then attack you.

Star Bottle Cap Encounter
This maybe a triggered event that happens in goodsprings as you find the Blue Star Bottle Cap. After obtaining the Bottle Cap a roaming trader will appear and converse with the player about the bottle cap. He has a speech challenge of about twenty five to forty. The trader will talk about the supposed "Treasure" offered by the Sunset Sarsaparilla Company.

If the player chooses to they can kill the Roaming Trader who will have five to seven Blue Star Bottle Caps on him.
