Best ending: November Reigns??

[makan247]

Hi everyone,

Wonder for those of you who've gotten the November Reigns ending (which imho, is the arguably the best ending), what you did to get there.

I've completed 4 playthroughs, the first two thorough ones with the November Reigns ending, and then quick playthroughs to get the Angela Deth and Patriarch endings.

The constants in both my November Reigns endings are:

1 - achieving the "Loved"status with both the Marshals and the Hundred Families,
2 - having spoken to Sheriff Daisy about the succeeding The Patriarch, and Sheriff Daisy responded that "you are friends, just don't do anything to disappoint her"
3 - having spoken to Gideon Reyes, he will mention that "he no longer believes the peaceful transition is possible", Just make sure you have the conversation with him when you have the "Loved" status with the Hundred Families
4 - I sent the Reagan AI to Ranger HQ both times, reputation with the Gippers was just neutral but the oil still flowed
5 - Both times I sowed discord amongst the gangs at the Yuma County Speedway

Differences in those playthroughs that didn't matter:
- The first play through, I arrested Val, killed Vic and arrested Liberty. On the second play through, I arrested Val, killed off both Vic and Liberty.
- The first play through, I saved Ironclad Cordite but did not bring him along with the team and decided to kill off the gangs at the Yuma County Speedway. The second play through, I killed Ironclad Cordite in the bunker.

I did it quite a long time ago. Somewhere at the end of September. This is better than being on the side of the patriarch or Angela. Because in Angela, you do not deliver / escort as much resources as on the Patriarch's side.

How many reputation points do you need to reach "Loved" status with a faction?

[Radiac]

I don't know for sure, because I wasn't counting points, but when you look at the Rep bar for the faction, it goes from Liked to Loved around 50-51% of the bar, just by eyeballing it. Like at the midpoint of the bar, you're still liked, but 1 point beyond that, you're Loved, from what I can tell. That said, I'm not even sure that all factions actually have the same number of points possible.

I just got this ending. Details:
- Arrested Valor and Liberty, killed Vic
- Had Gideon Reyes as an advisor (before Aspen), Hundred Families Reputation at Loved, Marshalls at Liked (That said, I don't think any of them ever said that it would be possible to dispose of the Patriarch peacefully)
- Sided with the Machine Commune and wiped out the Gippers, but since I tapped into the power of the Holy Detonation (DLC), Colorado Springs still had electricity
- Chose to stay in Colorado in the end and invited the Arizona Rangers to come join
Apparently, this is not the best way to handle things. Even though the ending says that Arizona received supplies, the slides for a few of the companions state that Arizona has still entered the dark age. If you choose to stay in Colorado and send the supplies to Arizona, Deth warns you that probably only a fraction will make it, so that's likely a bad choice. There is an ending on Youtube where apparently both the Marshalls and the Families declare their support for the Rangers and turn on the Patriarch (By the looks of it you don't even have to fight him then), and then the Rangers decide to stay but send the supplies to Arizona (No warning from Deth in this case) and everybody wins. But I'm not entirely sure how to get it.

You just need to get rid of Patriatrch and "side" with the Marshals. That's it. Don't mislead with absurd checklists.

I did a speedrun killing all the Patriarch's kids, didn't side with Gideon (didn't even talk to him), didn't do almost any sidequests. Didn't even rescue the Hoons nor the Caravan, as I wanted achievement for not helping anyone.

Killed all the Gippers, destroyed the computer. Killed the Cordite. Killed the Hundred Families kids.

Didn't even want to side with the Marshals. I gained reputation simply by killing Faran Brygo, as I wanted the collectible achievement and I needed his cassette.

And that quest with Brygo was the last sidequest I did. Which gave me "liked" reputation with Marshals.

So do you still need Gideon Reyes as your advisor?

No, You don't. Just get the reputation with Marshalls. At least liked. I haven't even met him xD Tbh, siding with Gideon is even an obstacle, as Hundred Families and Marshalls hate each other. It's good to kill the Hundred Families kids in the Garden, as it gives lots of Marshalls reputation. I think you'd get "liked" immediately.

You need to be liked by the Marshalls. And it's nice to have hardass/kissass, as there's one speech check at the end. The harder, the less reputation you have with the Marshalls. At just liked it's 10, But having at least one maxed out skill per every pt member is obvious.

It's good to have one 10 charisma leader, as he gets lots of exp, and it's easy to get both speech skills at 10 at... idk, 15th level? Before the DLC's for sure. Don't remember correctly.

Speaking of killing hundred families' kids. That ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Troy and his little gf gone and pissed me off. They think the rangers are a joke after I disbanded his little party at lil las vegas. Met them in the world map, they threw eggs at me.

So I did the most rational thing by wasteland standard. I chose to eliminate the pests. "Your rich family won't be able to save you out there" or something along that line lol...
Stupid rich, spoiled brats. There are a lot of bad things out in the wasteland. They ought to mindful of the danger out there. There are many things that can end their young, short lives. Things like wild animals, mutants, raiders, killer robots, cannibals...and angry rangers.

I'd kill them at the Garden, as it gives lots of reputation. Killing them while roaming doesn't change anything, even if You have Lucia in pt.
