When this ban was challenged on their site, further bans were issued for harrasment. Appeals to their adminship and staff have gone unheeded. |

||
| − | I think I speak for all of us when I say we are better than that. As far as we are concerned you are welcome to visit any wiki you like, and if there is a public chat system, you are free to join it. We ask that you follow local rules, and if you have any problems, to contact an admin on that wiki, and be respectful, and as calm as you can when you do so. |

| + | After setting up your character via the small tutorial inside [[Mitchell's house|Doc Mitchell's house]], he will direct you to the Prospector Saloon, stating that a woman named Sunny Smiles will be able to help you with your dilemma. When you enter, you will be greeted by [[Cheyenne]], Sunny's dog, and Sunny herself. She tells you that the [[Mitchell|Doc]] informed her of your coming and to meet her out back. Follow her, and upon reaching her outside, she will give you a varmint rifle and 60 [[5.56mm round (Fallout: New Vegas)|5.56 round]]. |
||

||
| + | A shooting tutorial ensues, teaching you about aiming down the sights and crouching. After you shoot the 3 [[Sunset Sarsaparilla]] bottles, she will then ask you if you would like to tag along on a little job. At this point, any time you talk to her you can choose to end the tutorial, but this will forfeit several rewards. |
||
| − | For those of you who do choose to visit against this warning, I must again stress to '''follow local rules. We do not encourage or endorse any raiding or trolling done in the name of this wiki'''. |
||
| + | You'll receive 60 5.56mm rounds upon agreeing to help and then run south east, towards the Goodsprings Source. Once you get close to the first well, Sunny will tell you to sneak, by crouching, to surprise the geckos. Once the geckos are dead, speak to Sunny and continue on to the next two wells. There should be three geckos at the next well, and three geckos attacking a [[Goodsprings settler]] near the final well. Kill the geckos and talk to the Goodsprings settler; she will give you 3 bottles of [[Purified water (Fallout: New Vegas)|purified water]] and improves your reputation in [[Goodsprings]]. If the Goodsprings settler dies, you won't receive the reputation boost or the purified water, but can loot her body for a [[Cleaver (Fallout: New Vegas)|cleaver]], [[field hand outfit]] and a handful of caps. Talk to Sunny afterwards to receive 50 XP, get paid 50 caps and have the opportunity to start [[By a Campfire on the Trail]] (and lament the settler's death in dialog, if appropriate). |
||
| − | '''We will not be returning the favour. Halo Nation wiki members are welcome at Nukapedia''', as are members of the "Glee" wiki (who recently visited us) and anywhere else. Bans will only be issued in response to that person doing wrong, not what someone who may or may not be associated with them have done wrong. |

This article is within the scope of the Walkthrough Chart Project: New Vegas. This project is dedicated to replacing all of the quest New Vegas quickwalk-throughs with flow charts. For participation, please check the project page.

Back in the Saddle is a tutorial quest in Fallout: New Vegas.
Quick walkthrough
- Talk to Sunny Smiles at the Prospector Saloon.
- Follow her outside and shoot three empty bottles. She will provide you with a varmint rifle and ammunition.
- Continue on with Sunny or end the tutorial.
- Accompany Sunny to Goodsprings Source, clearing three wells of geckos along the way.
- Talk to Sunny for 50 XP and 50 bottle caps.
Detailed walkthrough
After setting up your character via the small tutorial inside Doc Mitchell's house, he will direct you to the Prospector Saloon, stating that a woman named Sunny Smiles will be able to help you with your dilemma. When you enter, you will be greeted by Cheyenne, Sunny's dog, and Sunny herself. She tells you that the Doc informed her of your coming and to meet her out back. Follow her, and upon reaching her outside, she will give you a varmint rifle and 60 5.56 round.
NOTE: dropping all 5.56 ammunition and talking to Sunny will result in a mildly humorous statement and 30 more rounds.
A shooting tutorial ensues, teaching you about aiming down the sights and crouching. After you shoot the 3 Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles, she will then ask you if you would like to tag along on a little job. At this point, any time you talk to her you can choose to end the tutorial, but this will forfeit several rewards.
You'll receive 60 5.56mm rounds upon agreeing to help and then run south east, towards the Goodsprings Source. Once you get close to the first well, Sunny will tell you to sneak, by crouching, to surprise the geckos. Once the geckos are dead, speak to Sunny and continue on to the next two wells. There should be three geckos at the next well, and three geckos attacking a Goodsprings settler near the final well. Kill the geckos and talk to the Goodsprings settler; she will give you 3 bottles of purified water and improves your reputation in Goodsprings. If the Goodsprings settler dies, you won't receive the reputation boost or the purified water, but can loot her body for a cleaver, field hand outfit and a handful of caps. Talk to Sunny afterwards to receive 50 XP, get paid 50 caps and have the opportunity to start By a Campfire on the Trail (and lament the settler's death in dialog, if appropriate).
