You’re sure you’ve heard the name Ibarra before… Heard rumors about an attack on the train, about deaths in the Boneyard ruins…
You believe you might have seen Jake around during your travels. Or maybe you saw him in the Boneyard, years ago, when we was just another young scavenger. You probably did not pay attention to him then, you probably don’t remember after so many years.
But now his name can be read on papers, according to which there is a price on the man’s head. The NCR government is willing to pay a reward of 140.000 caps to anyone who kills Jake Ibarra or takes him to the NCR Hall of Congress, in Shady Sands.
While Ibarra is most probably moving from one place to another, running away from NCR authorities, he does not seem to have any problem to speak about his situation with people he meets. Indeed, there are travelers who claim to have met him, and heard his story, but how can you know for certain? They might just be false rumors.
The only thing you are sure about is that you should start your quest in the ruins of what once was the Old World city of Los Angeles, where this man was born. There, you might find out more about Jake Ibarra, or the “Boneyard Dog”, as the local Scavengers and some Regulators call him.
STATUS: CANCELLED
This is a very simple player driven event in which players who wish to participate need to look for Holotapes with clues about where Jake Ibarra has gone. Each Holotape will tell you where to look for the next one, and they will lead you to the end of Jake’s travels, where you’ll find out there’s more to all this than just bounty hunting.
The tapes are messages recorded by Jake Ibarra or by other characters. Most are monologues, but some are dialogues.
There are
eight tapes that could be considered “vital” to the quest. But there are also
six Holotapes in certain locations inside the Boneyard area. These will make it a bit easier to look for the others, but also they will offer a lot of information about Jake Ibarra, his past, and why the NCR is after him. Also, if you find any of them, you can take a screenshot of the tape’s content and post it here to claim your reward (10.000 Caps each).
The titles of these six holotapes are:
-“
George is leaving” -
Found by falloutdude.
-“
A warning” -
Found by falloutdude.
-“
Lots of deaths recently” -
Found by falloutdude.
-“
Ryan Vega interviewing a survivor” -
Found by falloutdude.
-“
Rumors confirmed” -
Found by falloutdude.
-“
Leaving” -
Found by falloutdude.
You will also find a few more tapes scattered around in different places. These ones are for the lols
You can look for Jake Ibarra on your own, or you can work in a team. Also I don’t care if someone wishes to drop misleading holotapes with false information or even “roleplay” characters who are sympathetic to Jake Ibarra and shoot the bounty hunters
If you find Jake Ibarra, you can of course fight him and travel to Shady Sands for your reward (which will be given to the same character that confronts Ibarra)… or you can try to go for a rather peaceful solution (hint: you could get a better reward this way!
).
The Boneyard Dog will be waiting.
I want to thank:
-
Jackall, who helped me get all those damn tapes!
-
Wipe, thanks to her you can be sure the reward from this quest won't give you an unpleasant surprise
-
Surf, always willing to read my texts and share his opinion.
-Anyone who has wasted some minutes listening to Jake's story while being trolled by NCR thieves and the like.
-Any player who participates in this little shitty event.
