Fallout: New Vegas Hints

How should I handle this Keller feller?

  • 1 of 6: Ask him about Price, then say that you're looking for some sound betting advice, since that's what Contreras told you to say. Keller won't give the proper response, but there's nothing you can do about that. Go ahead and hand the package over. then say you had no idea it contained chems.
  • 2 of 6: If your Charisma is 7+ or your Speech skill is 60+, you'll get related checks that you can pass to get Keller to let you go instead of turning hostile. If you can't do that, you'll have to kill him.
  • 3 of 6: If you kill Keller, return to Camp McCarran and finish up by either reporting Contreras to Lt. Boyd as mentioned above, or by reporting back to Contreras to get This Machine and a discount on his expanded inventory.
  • 4 of 6: If you trick Keller into letting you go, ask what's going to happen to Contreras. You can then draw your weapon and attack Keller, after which you'll have the same ending options as if you'd killed him in the first place.
  • 5 of 6: If you instead pass a Speech 80 or Barter 70 check, Keller will say that he'd be willing to work with Contreras, but this option seems to be glitched and will never work. You're pretty much stuck with killing Keller unless you want to finish up by reporting Contreras to Boyd.
  • 6 of 6: NOTE: If you pass a Speech 70 check when you first talk to Keller and don't hand the package over, you can actually convince him and Contreras to work together, but that doesn't seem to get you anything.
