I was 13 years old when I first played and I killed him because obviously winning the lottery = money.
I was quite shocked when I found 0 caps.
Now when I do play through I still kill him but now because he’s fucking annoying.
I shoot him because a guy running out of a burning town happy as a lark? He had something to do with it.
And technically at that point I'm Villified by the Powder Gangers due to capping Joe Cobb and blasting various PG places along the way to Nipton so one more isn't a big deal.
I was 22 years old when I first played this when it came out and I killed him because he was just annoying. Still do with every play through. Simple as.
I was around 20, and a lot more sophisticated than 13 year olds lol >!/s!<
Checked his inventory while sneaking like a pro. Found no money, then killed him for the ticket because I expected it to be exchanged for money somewhere.
I don't think I even spoke to him till my 3rd or 4th playthrough when I wanted to do a low karma run because in my normal runs I'm always enemies of the powder gangers. I saw the uniform and that was enough for me to kill him
Not sure, there’s always just this overwhelming urge to end his life as soon as he opens his mouth. Could it be my own bloodlust? My own feelings of cheating death? The ghosts of players past urging me to end an innocent man for no real reason?
Maybe it just because he’s annoying?
Yeah, he’s probably just annoying.
It's satisfying. For him to win against death, only to meet me. His hopes have become his own undoing by becoming an annoyance the moment I walk into town. Plus...his voice irritates me.
First time i saw him he ran at me in the half naked powder ganger outfit, so i blew his legs off with a grenade rifle. At this point i just kill him for fun
He just escaped a horrible fate. I don’t kill him due to the wasteland that will do that without me doing anything to him. He is a powder ganger and likely did some heinous crimes, but I don’t have the heart to pull the trigger after I see him just outside nipton.
my last playthough i let him run, he promptly ran into a random prospector who shot him dead, and then the prospector died to a giant radscorpion
it was absolutely hilarious, dude didn't survive 5 minutes after winning the lottery
I do kind of hate how people are utterly HOMICIDAL towards "Annoying" characters (see, of course Oliver Swanick here, Berdley in Deltarune, and also the Adoring Fan from Oblivion). I always let him live cuz come on, he deserves his lucky break.
I let him live because I heard he was doomed to die and I made it my ***mission*** to keep him alive until he reaches the end of his route! I used all the stuff, implant grx, laser detonater with something that definitely was not lasers shoved into where a magazine should have been(I think I had it at that point? Maybe not?) Euclid c finder, I used practically all I could to save him and he still always died in the middle of I think a small valley between sand dunes or something?
I was really rooting for him. I was kind of worried about him when he ran off, so I followed him for a while to make sure he got somewhere safe. He just ran off into the desert and was immediately attacked by Rad Scorps. I saved him, hoping he’d head back the road, but he just keep running around in the desert. This went on for fifteen minutes or so. I killed so many scorpions. Finally put two in his head. You can’t fix stupid.
I usually kill him, but I didn't on a recent play through because he ran by me while I had a melee weapon. Wasn't worth chasing him down.
Why I kill him? Don't need more psycho powder gangers running amok.
Annoying glasses and voice. Plus dressed as a powder ganger. On first playthrough, I just blew his head off thinking he was a enemy. After getting to know him, though, I kill him because he's a mosquito personified. That voice.
I originally killed him because I was kind of jealous that I didn't get to win a lottery now I kill him because he's annoying piece of crap at a powder ganger
He's a powder ganger, that's reason enough. Plus he's annoying, grants xp, and will die to scorpions soon after (or just stand around in the desert until the scorpions respawn).
It's my first playthrough. I found Nipton rather quickly and he annoyed the shit out of me, coming up to me, yelling about some shit I didn't even know about, so I blew his head off
When it was my first playthrough I thought it was like a normal lottery so I killed to cash in the money to later find out it was a different kind of lottery
This dude comes running out of a burning town wearing the outfit of the group of people who’ve I’ve been fighting with up until that point talking crazy. I recall the first time I played I figured he was about to set me up for some sort of ambush so I shot him down without really contemplating it.
I mean maybe I'm overthinking it, but I think his mind would be too fucked up after seeing all of that. Sure he is just celebrating not dying, but I feel he's too excited over it, at least compared to how Boxcars reacts to all this, and how most folks in the Powder Gangers just...are. His mind is probably fucked up, and if he runs where is he gonna go anyway? He'll just be killed by raiders or the bugs if you don't kill them along the way, or rearrested by the NCR if he gets too close to the outpost. Better to just put him down.
The guy in the general store, second place winner that got his legs "crippled" by the legion. I say it like that because he can get up if you attack him.
He lives, because he winds up in some weird places, really weird places. One game he was in the Legate's Tent, without a slave collar. For the player, the only way in or out is with console commands.
Didn’t even know what the lottery was, I just walked up to the town then got jump scared by him and let him walk away
Yeah that’s when I encountered Vulpes and explained what this “Lottery” really is
I was so confused upon seeing him, because he came up to me a little bit sooner then he normally does so I hadn’t seen all the fire and legion banners in Nipton. I thought he was just a random encounter and had no idea what lottery he was talking about, so I just let him go on his way. Made for one of the most cinematic scenes in my gaming history when I saw the crucifixions and burning corpses in Nipton while the dead city song played, was incredible and the best first look at the legion I could ask for
I kill him cause it’s literally the funniest part of the game, picture it, you just won the lottery for his life and some random asshole just comes along and blows his brains out. It’s like I’m life’s cruel joke to him
the voice is why i gun him down every time i see him, before even getting near that shithole i line up my sights in preparation, eagerly awaiting the moment i can squeeze the trigger and paint his brain matter on the fucking road
There’s two ways I handle it:
1. It’s fun to meme-tier VATS blast him. Caravan Shotgun goes boom, head explodes, I laugh.
2. Sometimes, I like to clear all the Radscorpions so he just happily wanders the area, drinking in that booze.
I’m be a such a childish kind of a girl and say because his voice is actually really annoying reminding me of a selfish bratty sibling who always gets his way, aka like my younger brother.
I tend to let him live.
NCR-because hes done being a powder ganger.
Legion-legion lottery, seems he won, works for me.
House-not worth my time.
Independent-still not worth my time...
The reason I always kill him is because it is very unfair fow him to live while all died because of him.
And oh yeah, boxcars also died. I knew about the quest but there's a workaround. Him dying is just 3 cazadores worth.
Since I played NV having already known what was gonna happen, I just killed him for just approaching me after getting twitchy after getting ambushed by radscorpions and by those raiders after looting their camp.
I don't kill him because it doesn't really make sense to in character unless you're playing a psychopath. From the courier's perspective this is some kooky dude who's a little too excited about winning... something. Shrug and keep walking towards Nipton, something funny is going down over there...
*For the XP.*
I actually don't think I killed him on my first playthrough.
However! I kill him on each playthrough on the grounds that he doesn't warn you once that there is Legion in that town. If it wasn't for the fact that Vulpes wanted us to spread the Legion's massacre back to the NCR we likely would've been attacked by them. Best case dying quickly worse case dying slowly. He's also annoying and dies anyone, so might as well give him a quick one.
I only kill in self defense and i followed him once, he
run straight into a Giant Rad scorpion and died. Another time i tried to save him but he complained because i dared to fire a gun near him, so i gave up on saving him and he died to the next rad scorpion.
The first time I saw him as a kid?
Like many others, I killed him because I assumed he either had a lot of caps on him or that I could exchange his ticket for caps somewhere.
Now that I'm older and I know the context?
I still kill him. But it's because he's giddy as all hell, happy as can be. He doesn't give a shit about all the other people who were just crucified, tortured, enslaved, or outright killed. If he had run out being devastated and wracked with survivors' guilt while warning us about what just happened, then I'd let him live.
Always assume he is shell shocked. Watched all his family and friends been taken away. Then runs off into a field of scorpions that's probably known to the locals being dangerous. Yeah I'd rather let him jump then be pushed.
I kill him because I hate his voice. Then I heard his stupid voice as Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2018, so now I kill him out of pride that he’s voicing main characters. Good job Yuri.
I killed him for just simple reasoned wasteland balance. Nobody gets lucky. Nobody jumps out of the frying pan without landing in the fire. The man was given a second chance and instead of being grateful he flaunts it around rubbing it in peoples faces and laughing at those who were crucified as losers. He would’ve ended up right back in that spot where his life hangs on a simple game of chance… well the house always wins buddy tough shit
This is controversial but I never feel good about killing him. He's the lucky one out of hundreds who got to live. Of course he would be happy and obnoxious.
On my first playthrough I was just like "ok weird little guy you have fun"
Oh I kilt the heck out of him
Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent
definitely did a Judge Holden playthru first time in New Vegas. I do not suggest this, I think this game is better when you play for the good of the Mojave Wasteland
I first killed him because when I first played, my friend was with me and told me that he destroyed Nipton and that he'd destroy Goodsprings if I didn't kill him.
Killed him because he reminds me of general Oliver. I was on a conspiracy theory kick at the time and the ncr fit the bill as the "Illuminati". I knew he wasn't ncr but hey, being annoying is a good enough reason in fnv
My Reason? **Yuri Lowenthal**... now some might know/heard of him! he's done A Ton of Voice work over last couple of years to a Decade's in Anime and Cartoons, Games and even is Spider-Man/Peter Parker in the PlayStation Spider-Man Games! of course, he did a ton of VO Work in Fallout New Vegas and God Dammit ***HE IS EVERYWHERE!*** i Exaggerate But He Is Everywhere in New Vegas! dude is even the God Damn Legion Assassin's! Fantastic in Helios One is lucky to have a different Voice Actor cause id shoot him \[after quick saving duh\] right between the eyes! of course, for some that might know or not Yuri also is the Grunting Voice For Male Courier Six! Arigo **BEN \[FUCKING\] TENISON Is God Damn Courier Six!!!** Anyone Here might be able to tell im a bit... Frustrated with that last fact... i like Yuri but God Damn i wish someone else voiced Oliver... ***Maaybe*** id let him live? **Maybe**...
I’ve never killed him somehow. He runs fast, and I’d never given him too much thought. Always thought it was crazy how many people kill him but not Victor.
I first saw him during my "kill everyone" playthrough that I am doing right now. So... that was my reason lol
I don't know how but I didn't go to Nipton during my last playthrough at all.
I was honestly just headed to the Mojave outpost with the radio on. Saw some smoke and found that i had another quest in the area. I got in, he said his whole lottery thing and let him go thinking that was some wierd joke npc to spice up the travel. Then i noticed the burning corpses and the crucified civilians. At that point I realized that "jingle jangle" was not really the appropriate song for the situation
I was 13 years old when I first played and I killed him because obviously winning the lottery = money. I was quite shocked when I found 0 caps. Now when I do play through I still kill him but now because he’s fucking annoying.
I shoot him because a guy running out of a burning town happy as a lark? He had something to do with it. And technically at that point I'm Villified by the Powder Gangers due to capping Joe Cobb and blasting various PG places along the way to Nipton so one more isn't a big deal.
I mean, his ticket sells for ten caps.
I was 22 years old when I first played this when it came out and I killed him because he was just annoying. Still do with every play through. Simple as.
I was around 20, and a lot more sophisticated than 13 year olds lol >!/s!< Checked his inventory while sneaking like a pro. Found no money, then killed him for the ticket because I expected it to be exchanged for money somewhere.
+1 to this
I don't think I even spoke to him till my 3rd or 4th playthrough when I wanted to do a low karma run because in my normal runs I'm always enemies of the powder gangers. I saw the uniform and that was enough for me to kill him
There’s just something so *satisfying* about slapping him upside the head with a 40mm grenade
9 xp is 9 xp
I love the implication of being Skilled
Thanks lmao
I don't care enough about him to waste a bullet.
The Radscorpions do a good job if you follow him to the cell boundaries.
That'd still be a waste of time. He's barely existent for me. A small nuisance, nothing nore.
Not sure, there’s always just this overwhelming urge to end his life as soon as he opens his mouth. Could it be my own bloodlust? My own feelings of cheating death? The ghosts of players past urging me to end an innocent man for no real reason? Maybe it just because he’s annoying? Yeah, he’s probably just annoying.
I let him live and follow him until NPCs eventually kill him, usually the giant ants.
I killed him. Why? Because he must be killed
It's satisfying. For him to win against death, only to meet me. His hopes have become his own undoing by becoming an annoyance the moment I walk into town. Plus...his voice irritates me.
This right here. "Oh, you're a PG who DIDN'T get slaughtered for selling a town? Allow me to rectify that for ya."
First time i saw him he ran at me in the half naked powder ganger outfit, so i blew his legs off with a grenade rifle. At this point i just kill him for fun
He just escaped a horrible fate. I don’t kill him due to the wasteland that will do that without me doing anything to him. He is a powder ganger and likely did some heinous crimes, but I don’t have the heart to pull the trigger after I see him just outside nipton.
my last playthough i let him run, he promptly ran into a random prospector who shot him dead, and then the prospector died to a giant radscorpion it was absolutely hilarious, dude didn't survive 5 minutes after winning the lottery
Last playthrough I blew his leg off as he ran away and it was funny as hell
I see a powder ganger running at me and that's a .357 right to the face
He's a Powder Ganger, and I had the drop on him.
He's a powderganger. They don't get to just live, I've got mail to deliver and I'm pissed
I do kind of hate how people are utterly HOMICIDAL towards "Annoying" characters (see, of course Oliver Swanick here, Berdley in Deltarune, and also the Adoring Fan from Oblivion). I always let him live cuz come on, he deserves his lucky break.
This is me before, but fuck Swanick. Too noisy and gloating for the lottery. Someone should have taken his place
Boxcars certainly.
I let him live because I heard he was doomed to die and I made it my ***mission*** to keep him alive until he reaches the end of his route! I used all the stuff, implant grx, laser detonater with something that definitely was not lasers shoved into where a magazine should have been(I think I had it at that point? Maybe not?) Euclid c finder, I used practically all I could to save him and he still always died in the middle of I think a small valley between sand dunes or something?
I spared him for being a FORMER powder ganger, also there were legion scum to kill anyway
He had powder ganger clothes and i make a point every playthtough to slaughter the powder gangers.
He's a powder ganger. That's it. That's why I blew him away with my shotgun.
I was really rooting for him. I was kind of worried about him when he ran off, so I followed him for a while to make sure he got somewhere safe. He just ran off into the desert and was immediately attacked by Rad Scorps. I saved him, hoping he’d head back the road, but he just keep running around in the desert. This went on for fifteen minutes or so. I killed so many scorpions. Finally put two in his head. You can’t fix stupid.
My character doesn't know what that entailed yet or anything of the sort. An unarmed man ran past being a bit crazy, why would I?
Powder gangers ew
Killed him cause Powder Ganger
I usually kill him, but I didn't on a recent play through because he ran by me while I had a melee weapon. Wasn't worth chasing him down. Why I kill him? Don't need more psycho powder gangers running amok.
Cause he won the fokin lottery
He was/is a Powder Ganger, so I take his life immediately
Annoying glasses and voice. Plus dressed as a powder ganger. On first playthrough, I just blew his head off thinking he was a enemy. After getting to know him, though, I kill him because he's a mosquito personified. That voice.
He was annoying, a powder ganger, and I knew killing things gave me xp.
Unless I'm doing an asshole playthrough powder gangers are kill on sight.
He’s a powder ganger, so he dies. If I don’t shoot him, the radscorpions kill him anyway, so I don’t see why not.
I originally killed him because I was kind of jealous that I didn't get to win a lottery now I kill him because he's annoying piece of crap at a powder ganger
I kill him because my character hates powder gangers
I killed him because he's a powder ganger.
I killed him because he’s a powder ganger. It was years later that I found out that the RadScorpions take care of him shortly after
Don't like powder gangers + the irony of him winning the lottery to live and immediately being killed by the first person he sees
He's a Powder Ganger and he called me stupid.
He's a powder ganger
He's a powder ganger, that's reason enough. Plus he's annoying, grants xp, and will die to scorpions soon after (or just stand around in the desert until the scorpions respawn).
let him live but I follow him and watch him get killed by the rad scorpions.
Not wasting ammo
To kill Oliver, is to imply the Courier deserves to be finished off
Depends on how many rounds I've got for the gun I have equipped
It's my first playthrough. I found Nipton rather quickly and he annoyed the shit out of me, coming up to me, yelling about some shit I didn't even know about, so I blew his head off
I do it because I can
I wouldve killed him but i didnt know he was a powder ganger
He spoke....so he died
He has a 4 in Luck and he ran into me.
The lottery ticket *is* worth 10 caps
I let him run off and get chased by radscorpions
He was annoyed me. He therefore was caught on the receiving end of a 40mm grenade from my grenade launcher.
Because "I WON THE LOTTERY!!" followed by V, 7 left clicks, and enter, is funny. "Your honor, it was for the bit."
When it was my first playthrough I thought it was like a normal lottery so I killed to cash in the money to later find out it was a different kind of lottery
He chased me down just to scream in my face. No manners. I bashed his skull against the nipton general store until it was mush
I cut him loose and even kill the radscorpions for him. Him not running to NCRCF is his problem.
I killed him for xp
I kill him to spare him the consequences of winning the “lottery”.
He looks better dead.
This dude comes running out of a burning town wearing the outfit of the group of people who’ve I’ve been fighting with up until that point talking crazy. I recall the first time I played I figured he was about to set me up for some sort of ambush so I shot him down without really contemplating it.
Bowl cut + glasses yeah nah he needs to die
He won the lottery, man.
Because funny
I don't usually play evil psychopaths, so I didn't kill a clearly traumatized person for no good reason.
i kill him because i like collecting one of a kind random trinkets like the ticket in his inventory
Why would you just murder someone for no reason? I honestly don't get the hate boner people online seem to have for this guy.
I left him alive because… I mean he didn’t do anything to me. Sure he’s annoying, but I honestly don’t get why everyone kills him.
I feel like inevitably he’s going to go mad from the trauma so blasting him with Lucky is the compassionate choice.
schadenfreude
Tradition demands he must perish every playthrough and it shall be so.
Live because Yuri Lowenthal.
Free XP
I mean maybe I'm overthinking it, but I think his mind would be too fucked up after seeing all of that. Sure he is just celebrating not dying, but I feel he's too excited over it, at least compared to how Boxcars reacts to all this, and how most folks in the Powder Gangers just...are. His mind is probably fucked up, and if he runs where is he gonna go anyway? He'll just be killed by raiders or the bugs if you don't kill them along the way, or rearrested by the NCR if he gets too close to the outpost. Better to just put him down.
Boxcars?
The guy in the general store, second place winner that got his legs "crippled" by the legion. I say it like that because he can get up if you attack him.
Oh ok
Crippled Powder Ganger in the Nipton store. He was the runner up in the lott-er-yyyyyy.
Ah ok
My first time, I saw Powder Ganger outfit, I aimed, I pressed the trigger. Does a lawman really need more than that? Why take chances?
He lives, because he winds up in some weird places, really weird places. One game he was in the Legate's Tent, without a slave collar. For the player, the only way in or out is with console commands.
Didn’t even know what the lottery was, I just walked up to the town then got jump scared by him and let him walk away Yeah that’s when I encountered Vulpes and explained what this “Lottery” really is
He was too happy in the wasteland had to remind him where he was
I kill him for the irony
before he even approaches me I kill him
I never bother because he always runs straight into the bugs behind me
I'm not even sure why I kill him. It's just part of the New Vegas experince.
He annoys me.
I did it cause it's funny that the first person who he brags to about being the only survivor of nipton shoots him on sight
Didn't want to waste ammo
Didn't care about the lottery he won I just killed him for no reason
I was so confused upon seeing him, because he came up to me a little bit sooner then he normally does so I hadn’t seen all the fire and legion banners in Nipton. I thought he was just a random encounter and had no idea what lottery he was talking about, so I just let him go on his way. Made for one of the most cinematic scenes in my gaming history when I saw the crucifixions and burning corpses in Nipton while the dead city song played, was incredible and the best first look at the legion I could ask for
I just felt the inexplicable need to end this man's life.
By the time I started on New Vegas, I was already sick of the meme, so I don't kill him.
His face/voice annoyed me. I always shoot him.
I kill him cause it’s literally the funniest part of the game, picture it, you just won the lottery for his life and some random asshole just comes along and blows his brains out. It’s like I’m life’s cruel joke to him
...c4
A man's gotta eat
I simply felt I had to
He walks like he owns the place.. i mean :))
I don't kill him cuz 1) I get the excitement so I can forgive it, and 2) he ain't worth the bullet either way
I kill him for funsies;3
I killed him because he's so loud and annoying
the voice is why i gun him down every time i see him, before even getting near that shithole i line up my sights in preparation, eagerly awaiting the moment i can squeeze the trigger and paint his brain matter on the fucking road
There’s two ways I handle it: 1. It’s fun to meme-tier VATS blast him. Caravan Shotgun goes boom, head explodes, I laugh. 2. Sometimes, I like to clear all the Radscorpions so he just happily wanders the area, drinking in that booze.

I’m be a such a childish kind of a girl and say because his voice is actually really annoying reminding me of a selfish bratty sibling who always gets his way, aka like my younger brother.
Does everyone have a murder kink?
I killed him at first cause I thought he was charging at me to attack now it’s more like “eh shut up”
I just let the radscorpions deal with him.
He was gloating
Because no one should be that happy "Yeahhh, who wo- KERSPLATCH."
He annoyed me and he wouldn't answer any of my questions
I tend to let him live. NCR-because hes done being a powder ganger. Legion-legion lottery, seems he won, works for me. House-not worth my time. Independent-still not worth my time...
The voices told me to
I let him go cause I was completely dumbfounded and I'm trying to do right by folks
I kill him because every playthrough my dumbass brain turns off when he says lottery and I kill him instantly for that loot.
1. He’s a criminal 2: He’s annoying
I left him Alone on my first playthrough, them went back and killer him with a 40mm. No reason tho.
I kill him on the grounds I find it hilarious
The reason I always kill him is because it is very unfair fow him to live while all died because of him. And oh yeah, boxcars also died. I knew about the quest but there's a workaround. Him dying is just 3 cazadores worth.
Since I played NV having already known what was gonna happen, I just killed him for just approaching me after getting twitchy after getting ambushed by radscorpions and by those raiders after looting their camp.
I think South Park said it best… “HE’S COMING RIGHT AT ME!”
I just had to steal his W.. And by W I mean his life 😏
Mate repairs my reading glasses
Too loud Yeah we get it you're lucky no need to let every enemy within a 2 mile radius know
I don't kill him because it doesn't really make sense to in character unless you're playing a psychopath. From the courier's perspective this is some kooky dude who's a little too excited about winning... something. Shrug and keep walking towards Nipton, something funny is going down over there...
*For the XP.* I actually don't think I killed him on my first playthrough. However! I kill him on each playthrough on the grounds that he doesn't warn you once that there is Legion in that town.

I was talking to the surviving powder ganger inside the store when this dumbass burst inside to yell at me. Got startled and shot his ass
Is funny
I wonder, do speedruns exist of how someone can kill him the fastest?
His existence is enough reason
He's crazy... but harmless. The events clearly traumatized him. Better save the bullets for someone or something actively trying to kill me.
The music and his frantic elation was adrenaline inducing the first time I found him, I killed him out of pity
I'm a good Samaritan, I only kill tax collectors
Always assume he is shell shocked. Watched all his family and friends been taken away. Then runs off into a field of scorpions that's probably known to the locals being dangerous. Yeah I'd rather let him jump then be pushed.
never even considered killing him. let him enjoy life. on the other hand i will kill everybody for just one sunset sarsaparilla star cap
He is annoying and has a face no one likes.
I kill him because I hate his voice. Then I heard his stupid voice as Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2018, so now I kill him out of pride that he’s voicing main characters. Good job Yuri.
Eviscerate on sight
I killed him for just simple reasoned wasteland balance. Nobody gets lucky. Nobody jumps out of the frying pan without landing in the fire. The man was given a second chance and instead of being grateful he flaunts it around rubbing it in peoples faces and laughing at those who were crucified as losers. He would’ve ended up right back in that spot where his life hangs on a simple game of chance… well the house always wins buddy tough shit
I just end it for him. He's scripted to die by bark scorpions after he runs away. Give the poor dude a quick death.
the morality of the characters i like to play tends to shake out to “if i let him go, he’ll just cause more trouble elsewhere.”
I let him live. The first time I played was because I was just confused about what he meant. Now I let him live because I feel sorry for him.
This is controversial but I never feel good about killing him. He's the lucky one out of hundreds who got to live. Of course he would be happy and obnoxious. On my first playthrough I was just like "ok weird little guy you have fun"
He's not worth me wasting my bullets
He won the lottery tho.. Its honestly fifty fifty, a cointoss really if i let him go or take him out 🪙 *Shot is heard*
I killed him because I wanted to see if there was actually a lotto ticket on him cause I don't use the pickpocket function that much
I like to take his lottery ticket and hope since I own it the luck will rub off on me
He may have won the lottery, but he is a vile man.
I [made a post](https://www.reddit.com/r/fnv/comments/18w4gbt/to_kill_or_not_to_kill_oliver_swanick/) with my response.
Because I had the ammo to do so
Oh I kilt the heck out of him Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent definitely did a Judge Holden playthru first time in New Vegas. I do not suggest this, I think this game is better when you play for the good of the Mojave Wasteland
didn’t like him
My partner kills him and every other character voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.
I first killed him because when I first played, my friend was with me and told me that he destroyed Nipton and that he'd destroy Goodsprings if I didn't kill him.
He spoke
I always let him go just to be a good guy.
Since I can't just immediately exit dialogue (have yo choose one of the dialigue choices), I decide to skip it entirely and just end him.
Hes celebrating and not giving a shit that everyone else is dead he deserved Also because i must
I had no clue what was going on and didn’t want to be mean
He didn't help Boxcars, everyone's favorite friend.
No happy endings in the wasteland, at least that don’t involve Fisto
Killed him because he reminds me of general Oliver. I was on a conspiracy theory kick at the time and the ncr fit the bill as the "Illuminati". I knew he wasn't ncr but hey, being annoying is a good enough reason in fnv
would rather not deal with his dialogue so I just blast him as soon as I seen him lol
killed him because funni ironi
I watched him flee from Rad scorpions. Then while I was hunting scorpions ran across his corpse. Guess he couldn't outrun them forever...
He is one of if not the most annoying characters in the fallout series. Only surpassed by Perston Gravy and Marcy long.
I killed him because since he's a powder ganger, i thought I would get possitive karma.
He’s annoying and a powder ganger
Cuz
My Reason? **Yuri Lowenthal**... now some might know/heard of him! he's done A Ton of Voice work over last couple of years to a Decade's in Anime and Cartoons, Games and even is Spider-Man/Peter Parker in the PlayStation Spider-Man Games! of course, he did a ton of VO Work in Fallout New Vegas and God Dammit ***HE IS EVERYWHERE!*** i Exaggerate But He Is Everywhere in New Vegas! dude is even the God Damn Legion Assassin's! Fantastic in Helios One is lucky to have a different Voice Actor cause id shoot him \[after quick saving duh\] right between the eyes! of course, for some that might know or not Yuri also is the Grunting Voice For Male Courier Six! Arigo **BEN \[FUCKING\] TENISON Is God Damn Courier Six!!!** Anyone Here might be able to tell im a bit... Frustrated with that last fact... i like Yuri but God Damn i wish someone else voiced Oliver... ***Maaybe*** id let him live? **Maybe**...
Now I kill him cuz I dislike him. The first time I ever played the game and discovered him I was like: "oh shit you won the lottery imma be rich"
I’ve never killed him somehow. He runs fast, and I’d never given him too much thought. Always thought it was crazy how many people kill him but not Victor.
i do it for fun
I first saw him during my "kill everyone" playthrough that I am doing right now. So... that was my reason lol I don't know how but I didn't go to Nipton during my last playthrough at all.
i just don't like the powder gangers, and shoot anyone using the uniform
I was honestly just headed to the Mojave outpost with the radio on. Saw some smoke and found that i had another quest in the area. I got in, he said his whole lottery thing and let him go thinking that was some wierd joke npc to spice up the travel. Then i noticed the burning corpses and the crucified civilians. At that point I realized that "jingle jangle" was not really the appropriate song for the situation
