What to Do After Beating New Vegas?
Beating Fallout: New Vegas is a significant accomplishment, and now you’re wondering what to do next. Congratulations on completing the game, and here’s a guide to help you make the most of your experience.
Load a Previous Save and Complete Side Quests
Before you proceed, load a previous save and complete any side quests you may have left unfinished. This will ensure you get the most out of your game and don’t miss out on any important storylines or rewards. Complete the Companion Quests, as they contain some of the best story elements and reveal more about your companions.
What About the Endings?
Fallout: New Vegas has four main endings: supporting House, supporting the NCR, backing Caesar’s Legion, or working with Yes Man for an independent New Vegas. There are also variations on these endings, such as killing Caesar and allowing the Legion to win with Legate Lanius in charge.
How to Get the NCR Ending
If you want to get the NCR ending, start by completing the side quest "Why Can’t We Be Friends?" in Vault 19. Then, convince Philip Lem to surrender to the NCR and complete "My Kind of Town." Finally, kill Caesar and take advantage of his death to convince Chief Hanlon to stop falsifying reports in "Return to Sender."
New Vegas DLCs: Which to Do First?
When it comes to the DLCs, start with Honest Hearts. It’s the most user-friendly DLC and doesn’t require a high-level character to enjoy. The other DLCs, such as Old World Blues and Lonesome Road, require a higher level character to fully maximize what you can accomplish within the DLCs.
Meet Mr. New Vegas
New Vegas is an AI personality created by Mr. House before the Great War to be the DJ of Radio New Vegas. While you can’t meet Mr. New Vegas in-game, you can hear his voice on Radio New Vegas, which is a nice touch.
Additional Tips and Tricks
- Complete the Brotherhood of Steel and Boomers quests for some great rewards.
- Explore the New California Republic and Caesar’s Legion storylines for more depth and lore.
- Upgrade Your Gear and character as much as possible to take on the toughest challenges.
- Join a Factions to gain new abilities and perks.
