I Think I waited too long to complete You'll Know When It Happens

[Indianapolis Jones]

Out of nowhere while having this quest active and doing other quests I got shunned by the NCR. Pretty upsetting considering i've spent 18 hours on this playthough specifically for the NCR. Is there any way to reset this?

Were you expecting the president of the ncr just to stand by and wait for you?

All jokes aside, just reload an earlier save. For future advice, try and do any quests before you recieve the You Know When it Happens quest.

First lesson when playing a RPG: Make multiple saves.

President Kimball sucks though, even Mr house has you save him because if Kimball dies he becomes a martyr and will boom ncr morale and he wants to keep the incompetent president around.

So letting the president die is actually better for the ncr in the long run.

Beings that Kimbal thinks getting shot at is its own reward, he deserves it.

Your president getting shot when he’s gonna give a speech to a military base doomed to fall into enemy hands doesn’t boost morale.

Not when he got he got elite rangers guarding everywhere upon his visit and arrival. It would never boost morale. It would sink it to the bottom.

I'm talking in the long run. If the president died, the ncr citizens at home would be all in to continue the war (the citizens are fractured and getting fed up with increased taxes for war effort). Kimball would be martyred, and it would direct blame to Caesar whether ncr wins or loses the hoover dam.

But with Kimball alive, if they lose the war, it's seen as Kimballs fault. If they win, it's Kimball victory. But if they win without Kimball, the ncr national pride will boon, and it will be seen as the greatest victory ever because they did it without the president.

It's precisely why Mr house doesn't want Kimball to die, and needs you to save him to get his ultimate victory.

The people at home wouldn’t see him as a martyr. They would see how weak their military is. They can’t even protect their president during a short visit. The mojave ncr soldiers would also see how badly screwed they are which would sink their morale too. When the morale of the soldiers at the front are low. It doesn’t matter how High the morale back home are because they can’t do anything and doesn’t see how screwed they are. Mr House would not kill him because he doesn’t plan on marching against NCR. Legion Does. If House wins Then the people back home wouldn’t be so screwed and scared as if the Legion wins.

it shows how much of a trainwreck their mojave operation is

Mr House disagrees with you.

Mr House doesn't know how badly screwed NCR is. He still lives in the old world. He doesn't realize things change.

As somebody else said, console commands. You can use console commands to reset the quest back to the point you want, and you can use console commands to modify your reputation with the NCR. It is always a good idea to have multiple saves though because sometimes the damage will be too much to fix with console commands, or sometimes the game will just bug and break itself.
