CHR 10, INT 2

So why exactly was Victor even in Goodsprings? Victor himself says he's been there for ten or fifteen years, but even if we don't wanna take him at face value Trudy says he's been there at least since she moved in seven years prior. So Vic has, at the earliest, been bumming around a random town in the desert for close to a decade... But why? That makes his presence and House's intervention in the Courier's rescue even more of a lucky coincidence. So again I ask... why? Why is he there? Goodsprings, before this game, was hardly that well known of a place. Why would House decide to place a securitron there far outside of the effective range of his network? You can even see in game people find this strange. Trudy and Doc Mitchell both express some suspicion toward him; Trudy saying, "It acts friendly enough, but I don't trust that whole "cheerful cowboy" act. I find it all very creepy," and Mitchell saying, "He's real friendly, don't get me wrong. You just get the sense that that ain't the whole picture. Just a feeling." So even in game the fact that he's there in town is considered weird. There's two things to hint at Vic's origin, again in Trudy's dialogue and then in Easy Pete's. Trudy claims, "Some people have said its owner lived here, but no one knows who it was," and Easy Pete says, "...I think it's just a broken down relic with no place to be." These can of course both be true at the same time, but Trudy's line is interesting. The only person we can say is Victor's owner would be House, but he doesn't have any connection to Goodsprings at all. So even with all that Victor is still one big mystery to this day.
