    During the E3 2010 demo with Jason Bergam, he said that there were 2200 characters in Fallout New Vegas and that only 1 of them cannot be killed. That got me thinking, who is the 1 NPC who cannot be killed? Any ideas?

    Is it really Victor? I guess that makes sense, since he basically takes over any Securitron he wants.

    What about the children in the game? Aren't they un-killable, like in Fallout 3?

    Victor's just a standard security bot. Pretty sure you can kill him.

    They don't count, apparently. As for the 1 that can't be killed, I have no idea.

    Children weren't killable in Fallout 3 without mods so I guess it was easy to assume that they would be unkillable in Fallout 3.

    I was under the impression that he could just "possess" any Securitron robot he wanted. Seems pretty far fetched that he would actually roam across the entire wastes showing up in random places without getting destroyed.

    Hm. Aside from children, I can't really think of anyone that can't be killed.

    YOu can kill the current host he is in but he just comes back in another robot body. So as an NPC he can not fully die. He will come back.

    He's not Mr. Anderson, no. If Victor could do that you wouldn't have to do the last quest at the dam. Victor exists in multiple places because its a game, but if you need the fiction to work, tell yourself about 4 security bots around Vegas are programmed with Victor.

    He started getting too agreeable, it was just a security measure.

    Rebirth is different than immortality. Victor's robosoul isn't floating around to possess another bot. Mr. House makes another one, presumably. And presumably Victor is tied to Mr. House's life because he goes away when you kill House, therefore he can die.

     I've literally followed Victor across the Mojave Wasteland from one destination to the next. I don't think he possesses anything. 
     
    Wait, yes he does. But I killed him at the end once he had reached New Vegas.

    Because killing all the other faction leaders would make Yes Man the only one who would still allow the game to be completed. Yes Man is the one: 
     
    "  Yes Man does not become hostile when attacked, and the destruction of his body yields a single experience point. His personality is distributed between all securitrons, so he is theoretically immortal - if destroyed, he will simply "hop" to another securitron."

    You can, and he has died for me. Early in the game i was roaming around and was attacked by some giant radscorpians when I was like level 4. I was getting my ass kicked and victor came to my rescue. Sadly while he was trying to save me he got his ass kicked worse then me and died.

    I remember seeing Victor get merced (second definition) by some lakelurks near an NCR encampment.  I looted his body and threw it into the nearby lake. Then a few days later, I saw him in front of Lucky 38 and freaked out.
