Keller (Fallout: New Vegas)



Keller is a member of the New California Republic Rangers living in Westside in 2281.

Background
Keller is a member of the New California Republic Rangers working undercover investigating chem trafficking to the local gangs and drug runners/pushers in the New Vegas area.

Quests

 * Dealing with Contreras: The player is sent to Miguel's Pawn Shop to find Price, Contreras' contact, but instead Keller is there. Talk to him and report back to Contreras. He'll ask you to kill Keller, but you can convince Contreras to work with him, Barter check of 70 or Speech check of 80. Whichever option you took go back to Keller and either kill him or convince him to work with Contreras.

Appearances
Keller appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * After talking with Keller, the dialogue option to pass a 7 INT/PER check pops up and does not work and results always in failure, despite having 7 Perception and 7 Intelligence.
 * After talking with Keller and passing the INT/PER check, if you choose to attack and kill Keller after he says you're under arrest, when you return to Contreras the result and dialog option will be the same as if you kept Keller alive and bribed him to play along and keep his mouth shut about the chem trafficking. If you kill Keller in this order you will not take a hit to your reputation with the NCR, and you will gain access to the stash and This Machine. Although it disables the ability to turn him in to Lt. Boyd (This occurs as of patch #2).
 * Sometimes, even if you kill him without NCR reputation loss, the NCR will be hostile towards you. A fix for this is to reload to the save after you killed him but before the NCR went hostile and travel to the Strip.
 * If you say that you will rat out Contreras, and then kill Keller, you will lose no reputation with the NCR.
 * Upon passing the Speech check to convince Keller you are merely seeking Price to purchase from him, you will gain no XP for doing so, unlike every other Speech check in the game.
