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, an intelligent nightkin who had overthrown Marcus from leadership of the mountain. Neil's role is to send other super mutants to go to Jacobstown instead, in order to save them from being treated as inferior soldiers. He is distinguishable from other super mutants due to the three scars located above his right eye.

Quests

 * Crazy, Crazy, Crazy: Neil tasks the Courier with overthrowing Tabitha from her rule. He can be persuaded (with 50 Speech) to aid the Courier by leading away the nightkin guarding Tabitha's broadcast station.

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. For the PC, there is a fix:
 * 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 you visit Black Mountain for the first time, Neil will wander off and can be sometimes found dead or under a rock when you visit later.
 * Often, when he is talking, his mouth movements are out of sync or aren't moving at all.
 * After meeting Neil near the crater of Black Mountain (had you passed the Speech check), he will either vanish or be glitched and get stuck.
 * If visit Neil's Shack at night, there will be hostile super mutant brutes attacking you. Neil won't help nor be hostile toward you.
