Lily and Leo[1] is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.
Walkthrough[]
While having Lily Bowen as an active companion, to begin the quest, the player character has to get her to play a recording of her grandchildren. This requires the following conditions to be satisfied in order:
- Lily must mention "Leo" and one must ask about him ("I have some questions about you" -> "What is the best way to use your skills?" -> "Who is Leo?").
- Lily must suffer a psychotic break during combat; this typically occurs when she has been reduced to 25% of her total HP by any means, which includes friendly fire that can occur outside of combat. Once she recovers (e.g. "Oh? Did Grandma do all of this?"), one must ask about her condition ("What happened in the fight back there?").
- Lily must be witnessed taking her medicine (e.g. "Medicine Time", "Hush Leo; it's medicine time now" or "Grandma has to take her pills now, Dearie") and one must ask her about the medicine ("I have some questions about you" -> "Tell me about yourself." -> "What kind of medicine are you using?").
- Lily must be the active companion when the player character sleeps, waited, or fast travels.
After the entire recording has elapsed, one must then ask Lily about the recording which gets her to reveal that she has only been taking half the recommended dosage of her medicine to avoid losing her memories of her grandchildren. From there, the player character has three options to complete the quest:
- Recommend that Lily begin taking the complete dosage. If this option is chosen, Lily will no longer suffer from psychotic breaks but her combat effectiveness is reduced - these remain in effect regardless of her mental state. (Melee Weapons skill set to 60)
- Recommend that Lily continue to take half her dosage. If this option is chosen, Lily will continue to suffer psychotic breaks when she is reduced to 25% HP but will now calm herself immediately if the player crouches and makes her activate her Stealth Boy.
- Recommend that Lily stop taking her medicine altogether. If this option is chosen, Lily will now suffer psychotic breaks when reduced to half HP but will gain several permanent stat bonuses - these remain in effect regardless of her mental state. (Melee Weapons skill set to 100)
The choice made will also have an effect on the game ending Lily receives.
Notes[]
Some quest stages can be started through the use of console commands:
- To start the medicine dialogue, enter set "160267".ftimer to -1 and set "160267".bMedicineTime to 1
- To start the holotape dialogue, enter set "160267".fresttimer to 1 and set "160267".bdoonce to 1
- To start the psychotic break dialogue, enter set "13e510".bPsychoticBreak to 1. This won't make Lily enter a psychotic break, it will however unlock the dialogue option about it and allow for the quest to proceed normally.
