Disclaimer: this post is about the New Vegas storyline and is filled with spoiler. If you don't want to be spoiled, stop reading this post.
I built myself a very social character, with high Charisma and high Speech. During the Ring-a-Ding-Ding! I talked my way to the Penthouse with Benny. I liked his idea of an independent New Vegas and agreed to help him with this. So we part our ways and he tells me to meet him at the ground floor.
Going there, I find out that he ran away with the Chip. Why the hell did he do that? We had a perfectly good conversation in which I convinced him of a couple of thing using high Speech, and then he runs of? Why? What's even worse is that he's taken capture by Legion and that whatever option I take, he ends up dead. The only way to make Benny's idea of an independent New Vegas happen is to get Benny killed. That doesn't make any sense at all!
Can someone explain me why Benny would want to "betray" me even though I'm offering to help him, and why Benny needs to be dead even if I want an independent New Vegas as well? I could understand this if it were for a lack of Speech skill that I'm missing some options, but I'm at 100% and succeeded on all checks.
This really is a game breaker for me. The story just doesn't hold up. I'm really hoping someone can explain this to me.
