• Romance in Fallout New Vegas
• All Sleeping Partners in Fallout New Vegas

Romance in Fallout New Vegas

Fallout New Vegas doesn’t offer romances like some other RPGs games. There are no companions or NPCs you can build a relationship with that leads to a romantic commitment. However, there is an option to have a brief encounter with some characters that leads to (sort of) intimate scenes.

All Sleeping Partners in Fallout New Vegas

While there are no traditional relationships in Fallout New Vegas, you can have a one-time encounter with certain characters after completing specific quest in the game or meet particular requirements. All intimate scenes are fade-to-black moments with suggestive dialogue.

• Benny
• Sarah Weintraub
• Red Lucy
• Fisto
• Dazzle
• Joana
• Beatrix Russell
• Sweetie
• Jimmy
• Maude

Benny

To unlock the intimate scene with Benny you need to:

1. Be a female character.
2. Have the Black Widow perk, obtained through levelling up and investing points in Speech.
3. Progress through the main story until you confront Benny at The Tops casino in his penthouse suite.
4. While talking with Benny, choose dialogue options associated with Black Widow perk (heart icon) and focus on flirting or seduction.
5. Eventually Benny will suggest going to his room. After you sleep with him, you can kill him and take all his belongings.

Sarah Weintraub

Here’s how to unlock private interaction with Sarah Weintraub:

1. Meet Sarah in Vault 21 shop.
2. During the conversation, pass a 65 Speech and 75 Speech checks that hint seduction.
3. Finish Suits You, Sarah side quest and bring her 30 Vault suits.
4. Ask for a room and invite her in.

Red Lucy

If you want to unlock the intimate scene with Red Lucy, you need to:

1. Speak with Red Lucy in the Thorn arena, located in the New Vegas sewers and start the Bleed Me Dry side quest.
2. Find and bring her back the requested eggs. The difficulty increases with each batch.
3. Ask her to meet her in private.

Fisto

Fisto is a robotic character who offers adult services, regardless of your character’s gender. You can find him in Cerulean Robotics. The first service is free, but subsequent uses require payment of 10 caps each time, once Fisto is delivered to James Garret.

Dazzle

Dazzle is a prostitute living in Gomorrah’s courtyard. She will serve both man and female characters. Her fee can be lowered if you give her some Med-X, or through successful persuasion (Medicine or Speech checks). Lady Killer and Black Widow perks might also prove beneficial. If you insult Dazzle, she will no longer offer her services.

Joana

Joana is a prostitute at the Gomorrah Casino. The standard fee is 100 cups, but if you pass the 50 Speech check, you can secure a complimentary interaction.

Beatrix Russell

Sweetie is a prostitute working at the Casa Madrid Apartments. She will offer her services to both men and women for 300 caps.

Jimmy

Jimmy will offer his services only to men at the Casa Madrid Apartments for 200 caps. You can meet him during A Bit of Slap and Tickle side quest.
