Something seems to have gone awry with your post, I assume you weren' t meaning to just quote me in an odd way.

Trying to figure out how to do the quest in Camp McCarran where you have to catch some goings-on at the tower. I've been there at 01 am three nights in a row now, but nothing seems to happen. Tips?

Is there a printer friendly version of the map with all locations highlighted that Delixe linked? That one is a bit low on quality when zoomed, so it's probably gonna come bad on my Brother.

Well, hm, You should wait outside, hidden, at about 1:30AM one of the guys from the camp gets out of the main building and starts heading forwards the tower. Follow him. ;)
Be sure to have a stealth boy with You, if Your sneaking sucks, You'll probably want to pickpocket him later on, if Your explosives are low too. Also, be sure to talk to the guy who Hsu tells You to go to. [bad english there] ;P

Spoilers:


I think it happened to me at 00 am. Talk to some people first, then wait outside the tower at the time I mentioned. Be a little patient and probably keep a stealthboy or two ready. Just in case.
Also: Listen first. (Inside the tower.)

You can also keep an eye at the door into the terminal. (Your suspect will appear there.) Just remember to be careful and don't get spotted.




(Big spoiler: Apparently you should avoid Captain Curtis(?) according to what I have read. Though it won't actually ruin quest, talking to him.)

You can talk to Captain Curtis but don't mention the tower to him or you will tip off the spy.

Thats the other one I was trying to think of, very annoying.

You'd think the black mountain radio would have more unusual songs to reflect the strangeness of the broadcasters. I mean how appropriate would it be to hear The Monster Mash?

Good grief, after my first day's play of F:NV, I could not stop saying to myself '...oh he might of gone on living, but he made one fatal slip, he tried to kill the ranger with the big iron on his hip (big iron on his hip)...' Not a problem for me though, I love that song. The ones that really gets on my tits are 'heartache by the numbers' and 'love me as though there were no tomorrow'. Can't stand em.

I can't get enough of Big Iron. Heh.

Also, roulette is damn boring. I mean, seriously. Who the heck spends his life savings on something like that?

I'm sure somebody will come up with a mod to strip the songs out of the radio stations. The talk's the only thing that's interesting. And even that's limited.

As is the slots. It really made me question how people can be addicted to that sort of midlessly repetitive thing thats a constant money sink with sod all real reward.

Ahh then again, WoW...

Sneak into the tower. Leave your companion outside. Stay at the base of the tower, Inside the tower there's this person radioing the Fiends. For me I used a Stealthboy and stole the deactivation codes from him.


In hopes of winning the jackpot prize? But most people get greedy, once they win a little bit of money they keep playing hoping to win more until they lose everything. Or they lose right at the start and keep playing till they lose everything.

I've been to the casino in Brisbane before for tour, I played the 1-cent slot machine, hit the jackpot of 2000 credits, so I won $20 with 1 cent drop. Pretty good luck that day, pretty exhilarating too. What some people don't realise if that after u hit the prize on a particular machine, they have to switch to another machine. So I switched to another machine and won another 600 credits. $26. :P

Eh, you don't need to spend much time at it. Just boost your luck and you shouldn't have to spend much time to get mega caps on the roulette table.

Yeah but you can't boost your luck in the real world, or at least I've not seen the option when levelling myself up

If you go into gambling with thoughts about winning money, more likely you'll lose money.
