Rose of Sharon Cassidy?

[Silver]

I like to keep followers with me because as I play the game, they often initiate new lines of dialogue (for example Boone still hasnt told me everything about his wife yet, Arcade is still sorta mysterious, Raul told me a lot about his sister and Mexico city, but I'm not sure he is done yet; I am at the point regarding Ed-E where I can hand him to the followers or brotherhood, so his quest is - I think - almost over etc.)

Recently acquired Rose, talked a bit about her pendant, who her parents were etc., and am now already choosing whether she be killed by the Van Graffs or whether I should lose my favorite shop.

Speaking of which - if I choose to end this quest peacefully via arrest warrant (get NCR involved), will both the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan close their shops?

Anyway, my other question is - is it worth keeping Cassidy? Will she speak new lines of dialogue? Or was that it?

Right.

Alright, to answer the question(s):

If you go the peaceful route in Cass' quest, the Van Graffs WILL be hostile, but the Crimson Caravan won't.

Is it worth keeping Cass? Eh, she's not the strongest companion (even with the perks from her quest), and if you want to trigger the quests for the other companions, it's probably worth sticking her in the Lucky 38. There's a bit of extra dialogue after completing her quest and if your karma level goes too low, but other than that, nothing.

okay cool.

For example Arcade Gannon chatted with me for a bit when I entered Repconn HQ for the first time, and Boone started talking about his wife after I killed the Legion Centurion prisoner in Camp McCarran

I already visited all the three looted caravans with Cass, so now have to decide to either let her be killed and do 1 more quest with the Van Graffs, or kill the Vangraffs, loot their entire plasma arsenal, but lose the merchant that way.

My only remaining question is that if I report them and Crimson Caravan to the NCR, will I no longer be able to trade with that guy in the Crimson Caravan HQ?

The Crimson Caravan guys won't mind, you'll still be able to trade and work with them.
