Not a Zelda 2 refrence
if we have to do the speech checks anyway getting a decent weapon and killing benny would probably be faster right? You could get a shotgun of a fiend and probably 1 hit kill him.
There are a few other ways to get into the bos bunker without taking the quest or picking the lock.
If you find a dead BOS member they will have a password you can use to open the bunker, there is one on the way to black mountain, and one by the boomers.
it would be possible to do it so we would only need to visit the tops once.
get Today's Physician from docs office, get Programmer's Digest from mailbox in goodsprings, go to mclarian->strip,
If 75 hacking was possible, use Today's Physician to get a med of at least 35 and level up on speech check with house until you get a science of 55-65, use Programmer's Digest to kill house, do boomes searching bos body, bos, kahns, omerats, white glove, kill benny, yes man
so the advantages of that rout would be
don't need to talk to swank
only vist tops once
disadvantages would be
need to level up twice talking to house ( some other method? ) with a starting science of 42 would need 550 XP to get to 65 science, that's 15-16 skill checks
spend a few seconds getting skill magazines
spend a few seconds to get bos corpse
don't know if it would be worth it.
If there was a quick way to get to level 2 (200xp) in goodsprings it would be better, because you could cut 10% off the travel time.
