Victor (Fallout: New Vegas)

Victor is a securitron robot found in Mojave Desert during 2281 that thinks he is a cowboy, and displays the image of a face inspired by Vegas Vic on his screen. He was dispatched to Goodsprings as a general work robot.

Interactions with the player character
Victor digs the Courier out of a shallow grave in the desert sand.

He is also very reluctant to give you information on what happened to you (why you were in a grave), but he does take you to the starting point of the game, a small town called Goodsprings. Victor will come to your aid often in combat when fighting radscorpions, coyotes or anything else hostile around Goodsprings. He goes to New Vegas and will bring you through the Lucky 38. After sleeping in an outer location from Goodsprings, e.g. a campsite in Goodsprings source, Victor will appear and inform you that the area is dangerous. He is reluctant to give details, and the Courier suggests that Victor is following him. When going through the main quest, you will have to go to Novac. Victor can be found here to the right of the main entrance.

Victor appears to stalk the player throughout the game, such as Novac and Boulder City. He will thank you for the good deeds you have done in the area or scold you if you have committed evil deeds in the area. It is believed he is actually an A.I. that can hop from one Securitron to another rather than being one specific Securitron. (Victor himself tells you this if you mention him "popping up everywhere" the first time you enter the strip, though he claims not to know exactly how he manages this feat.) Evidence of this can be witnessed upon arrival to the strip. Victor comes up and talks to the player and, as he rolls away, his face changes to the police officer and he is inhabiting the Securitron by the doors. If you decide to kill Mr. House, the original Securitron outside Victor's shack will have a blank face.

Victor can be seen at the bottom of the reservoir at the hoover dam.

Bugs

 * On PC when you enter the strip for the first time victor approaches you and you go through dialogue regularly but when you go to the Lucky 38 victor is dead in front of door and when you enter all robots are hostile and there is no way to talk to Robert House.


 * Victor can be killed while in your penthouse suite thus making it impossible to leave.


 * When visiting your suite in the lucky 38 casino, if you are relying on victor to travel up and down the elevalator, it is possible for him to become 'unresponsive' thus, leaving you stuck in you're suite forever, unless you kill him and get manual control over the elevator.


 * When fast traveling to Boulder City a glitch can occur that makes Victor a usable companion and also bringing up the companion wheel to access inventory, change combat stance, etc.


 * When you exit the doctors' house in Goodsprings for the first time, Victor might disappear right in front of the player as you approach him and not appear in town for several days afterwards.
