The Shi Emperor has hired you, one of the finest Couriers in the land, for a choice of one of many fine missions. His motivations are inscrutable but the pay is good. Really good and includes ten thousand caps up front... much wow. And if you successfully complete this Escort contract, you'll be set for life with your own home and plot of land!
Though if you fail in your contract, chances are you'll have Assassins and Bounty Hunters chasing after you for the rest of your unnatural life. And that's only if the threat that the Shi Emperor somehow infected you with a specialized strain of FEV that can kill you on command isn't true. Not that you want to call that bluff.
The rules are pretty simple though.
You are to escort a high level VIP across the Wasteland. You can try and convince these clients otherwise but you are to follow their directions and orders as practical. Like with any Courier work, or something like Uber/Lyft, you'll get a bonus for a high review at the completion of said quest.
The potential VIPs!
Preston Garvey: Whilst Escorting Him Across the Wastelands, He'll Constantly Be Notified of Nearby Settlement Problems. You Will Help Him Solve Said Settlement Problems.
Moira Brown: The First Wasteland Survival Was Such A Success She Decided To Personally Invest in Cross Country Tour To Release a Second Revised Edition. She has LOTS of Ideas for Research.
Fantastic: After his success at Helios One He's Now Become a New California Republic Goodwill Ambassador. Your Job Is To Escort Him To Various Settlements and Tribal Groups for Public Relations on behalf of the NCR.
Joanne Lynette: She's Now an Independent Auditor and Ombudsman. Your Job Is To Escort Her To Various Settlements and Tribal Groups So She Can Tell Them How Bad They Are (Probably). You Get the High Review Bonus Automatically Though.
Three Dog: He's taking his show on the road, Isn't that awesome? Be sure to help him in fighting the good fight or some such. He'll broadcast it to the Wasteland.
Thankfully your mysterious employer has offered someone to accompany you across the Wasteland to aid you in your Quest. Unfortunately, it's these people. You don't need to keep them alive, but you'll only get half the money obviously.
The Potential Partners!
Violet (Fiends): Arf! Arf! Arf! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Gary: Gary? Gary is not omnicidal however.
Knight Rhys: Don't worry he still has nothing but contempt for you.
Dr. Thomas Hildern: He too has nothing but contempt for you but it's better hidden.
Sierra Petrovita: Oh sweet Quantum, Come to Mama!
While these "partners" will generally follow your directions within reason, they'll never shut up. It's not all doom and gloom though, the Shi Distrct of San Francisco is highly advanced so you'll get your choice of high quality equipment, weapons and gear with which to outfit your little convoy with. Also... the caravan has room for one more persona!
Which is convenient because you read the contract and apparent the amount of Caps you are rewarded is doubled if your married and your uhhh spouse is still alive. Better check your companion rolodex for Waifus and see whose available.
Husbando/Waifu Choices. Marriage is required but... Consummation is optional. Also has to be a choice to make your parents happy or something. You also completed their companion quests so they're good to go! Possible companions listed below.
The potential Romance Options!
Boone or Rose of Sharon Cassidy
- Their groundedness, no nonsense mentality might help anchor your sanity and keep your other companions in check. Also experienced caravaners.
Nick Valentine or Curie
- Positive and supportive individuals with valuable skills and the patience and steadfast optimism only automation can provide.
Ian or Katja
- OG Fallout representation with the young hip Wastelander demographic.
Elliot Tercorien or Sydney
- Veteran soldier out of time or the veteran scavenger. Companionship of normals might refill out your sanity meter.
Goris or Ada
- Combat phenoms and good deep conversation. Hard to anger as well. Might even be intimidating.
So TLDR... choose one client, one partner and one romance to accompany you on this glorious trek for profit and adventure!
