The future is not written, human, and it is foolish to squint at what cannot be seen.

Neil is a first generation super mutant living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background

Neil went to Black Mountain on Marcus's order to spy on Tabitha, an intelligent nightkin who had ousted Marcus as leader of the Black Mountain super mutant refuge. Neil's role is to divert other super mutants to Jacobstown, where they will be treated fairly. He has three distinctive scars located above his right eye.

Locations

If Neil is not in his shack he may be standing by two rocks outside of the crater with the two dead Brotherhood of Steel Paladins, to warn the Courier about going onto the mountain.

Notes

  • Once Tabitha is gone from the mountain, Neil will stay at his shack in order to redirect other super mutants that may have heard Tabitha's broadcast.
  • In the demo, Neil's appearance was that of a Vault 87 super mutant's.

Appearances

Neil appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

  • PCPC When waiting to help you at the top of Black Mountain, Neil will give the response "whatever you do, be quick about it" no matter what you tell him. This is caused by the conditions for the "Let's go" response being unavailable if any of the Nightkin guards are dead, rather than if all of them are dead. [verified]
  • Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 If you accept Neil's help but enter Black Mountain from the locked gate on the southwest side (by Tabitha's room) instead of going through the checkpoints, Neil will run around randomly when you approach him and cannot be spoken to. Waiting causes his map marker to move near the domes, but he is nowhere to be found. [verified]
  • PCPC If you visit Black Mountain for the first time, Neil will wander off and can be sometimes found dead or under a rock when you visit later. [verified]
  • PCPC Often, when he is talking, his mouth movements are out of sync or aren't moving at all. [verified]
  • Xbox 360Xbox 360 After meeting Neil near the crater of Black Mountain (had you passed the Speech check), he will either vanish, be glitched and get stuck, or get hung up on a rock behind him as he tries to run ahead. [verified]
