jerriecan Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I walked all over that area - just to be sure - and never saw the bodies. Maybe they happen if you don't help out the camp, a Legion massacre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Nope, they there even when you've helped the camp against the Legion. I didn't really believe that Forlorn Hope was that bad at first, but now.....damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhoulKisser Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Maybe this paragraph from the Forlorn Hope page on the Fallout Wiki may give an explanation. Between Camp Forlorn Hope and Nelson will be a small battlefield littered with dying NCR troopers. Laid near their bodies will be frag mines - most likely traps Legionnaires have placed should the Courier or other NCR troopers wander too close to help them. Regardless of whether the Courier is able to disarm the mine quickly enough before it damages him and kills the trooper, they are either too weak or too wounded to actually be saved. Attempting to talk to them will only have them ask the Courier to perform a mercy killing. Oddly enough, performing a high profile kill upon one will turn both the other dying troopers in the field and the active NCR Troopers within Camp Forlorn Hope hostile. (Though the dying troopers will still remain on the ground, just marked as hostile) It is suggested to perform low profile mercy kills upon them with silenced weapons, should the player not want to damage his/her reputation with the NCR.

ita Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The supposed pile of bodies near the medical tent isn't the same as the booby-trapped, dying troopers in the field between Nelson and Forlorn Hope. Perhaps doctor Richards is an undercover serial killer.. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adman85 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 /\ Yes! /\ Either that or the NCR has been "dealing" with deserters their own way for a while. :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6gbd Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) seems pretty strange never noticed it before something in the storyline must set it off but that's just a guess or those are the dead from said skirmishes the ncr had with the legion again just a guess Edited December 22, 2011 by 6gbd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhoulKisser Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, I was looking into the GECK and I've noticed that the dead bodies were labelled as "Initially Disabled" and looked further into the subject and those seemed to be part of a script that would occur when you'll accept Dead Sea's request to kill everyone in Forlorn Hope. Maybe, at one moment, the game developers planned to have the Legion to occupy Forlorn Hope and they would have dumped the NCR dead bodies off the cliff, but I guess that they decided to take down this part in the final version of the game. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adman85 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Seems valid. The legion really did need more work, and this company is known for its rush jobs.. (Or was that Obsidian?) Nonetheless I did like the undercover serial killer theory. A little Dexter in the fallout world :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staghound Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think it's all due to that Robert guy ... or was his name Ulysses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
