We Will All Go Together

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Collect Irradiated NCR Dogtags from ghoul NCR troopers within Camp Searchlight and take them to First Sergeant Astor.

Detailed walkthrough
First Sergeant Astor and a small group of NCR forces can be found patrolling the western side of Camp Searchlight. Upon approach he moves to intercept you and explains that the entire town has been the victim of a legion attack that rendered it uninhabitably radioactive. Unfortunately, many of his men were caught in the attack and have mutated into feral ghouls. Astor expresses his regret at not being able to put them out of their misery and asks you to kill them for him and return their dogtags as proof.

You must collect the dogtags by finding and killing the 10 NCR ghouls roaming around Camp Searchlight. Nine of the ghouls are found outside, using combat knives and NCR trooper armor and will attack on sight. The tenth ghoul, Private Edwards is found inside a white house south east of the church and will not attack unless provoked. He explains his dismay at being a ghoul, but he wishes to continue living. You can either kill Edwards for his dogtag, persuade him to attack Astor with a 50 speech check, threaten him into handing over the tag with a 7 strength check or tell him about Ranger Station Echo or with intelligence 7 you can convince Astor that Edwards isn't going feral, then Astor will agree to let Edwards join his unit. You can also convince Edwards to just go into the wasteland. At this news he will drop his dogtag and leave.

Complete the quest and get good Karma: In order to get the option to tell Edwards about the Ranger Station you must first tell him about Astor's plan to kill him and then go back to Astor and discuss Private Edwards until he mentions the Ranger station. Do not get the dog tag off him, or Astor will simply say that a rabid dog must be put down. After you have spoken to Astor, return to Edwards, convince him to give up the Dog Tags with the speech check, and then tell him about the Ranger Station. If you tell him about the Ranger Station before convincing him to give up the Dog Tag, he'll run north and never engage in conversation with you again - even if you follow him to the station.

Astor gives you a 25 cap reward for every dogtag you bring him. Returning all 10 tags to him also earns you a service rifle and completes the quest.

Bugs

 * There is a possible bug if you kill Private Edwards and obtain his dogtag for the 9th tag instead of tenth. Players may not be able to obtain the tenth dog tag even though they kill the special ghoul that drops the tag.
 * Clearing the town through the quest Wheel of Fortune will cause the irradiated dog tag marker to center in the middle of town. (update - the dogtag marker is in the centre of town and i havent done wheel of fortune.)
 * Sometimes not all the ghouls are at Camp Searchlight. In one instance, one ghoul walked all the way out to Coyote Mines or near Sniper's nest down the road.
 * Ghouls could drop through the ground making it impossible to access the dog tag.
 * The special, glowing ghoul may not drop the dog tag at all, especially if killed by a turret, making the quest impossible to finish.
 * Astor says that he will pay 10 caps for each tag, not 25.
 * There is a bug (Xbox 360), when you enter the house, where Private Edwards live and want to reload the autosave, you get the error that the downloadable content is not available. All of your older save games are also corrupted.
 * There is a bug where a Legion soldier kills Astor, making you fail the quest. (Should this be considered a bug? Bad luck for the player & for Astor perhaps)

Behind the Scenes
This quest's title is a reference to the 1959 Tom Lehrer song "We Will All Go Together When We Go". The song makes light of the idea that as long as we all die at once in a nuclear holocaust, nobody will have to endure the pain of mourning, and suggests that "we will all go together when we go, all suffused with an incandescent glow", not unlike Glowing Ones.
