Fallout New Vegas: Unfriendly Persuasion

Unfriendly Persuasion

Given by: Marcus [Jacobstown] (M35:1)

You can get this quest only when you visit Jacobstown for the second time. When you are there for the first time, Marcus will greet you only. Next time he will approach you and will ask for help with some NCR soldiers harassing the town. You can deal with the situation peacefully or with violence. Head to mercenaries (M35:2) and talk to their leader, Norton #2. He stands in the middle of the road.

Solution 1

• If your reputation with NCR is high enough, you can say that you're NCR hero and you think that they should leave;
• [Speech 65] threaten him to leave;

Return to Marcus (M35:1) and tell him that the town is safe again and mercenaries have left.

Solution 2

• ask how many caps will convince them to leave.

Now you have two options:

• you can pay him 2500 caps if you have this amount of money.

Return to Marcus (M35:1) and tell him that the town is safe again and mercenaries have left.

• go to Marcus and ask him for some funds.

You can ask for 3000 caps instead of 2500, what means that you'll get 500 from the transaction. When you pay off mercenaries return to Marcus (M35:1) and tell him that the town is safe again and mercenaries have left.

Solution 3

Start shooting or choose real bad dialog lines. Marcus and other supermutants will come to help you after a while. When it's over, talk to Marcus.
