Where Am I?, Post Your Screens And Let Us Guess! Options

Jacobstown Lodge is the correct answer.

There is the only pinball machine in the game.

Well, I guess I shouldn't have second-guessed myself.

Where was Mariah?

[Lopov]

Huh, this one is difficult, and taken at a tricky angle too.

I can't get any more specific ATM, but for now I'll say she's somewhere close to Nelson / Camp Forlorn Hope area.

Nope, further north.

I can't see it;

Sorry, mALX, but don't feel bad. It's supposed to be a dark picture to make it a little tricky.

How far north?

Hoover Dam?

How far north?

Hoover Dam?

More north than that.

Here's a bit of a hint: Think about why my screenshot is angled the way it is. More to this hint in a spoiler.

Ranger Station Alpha?

Ranger Station Alpha?

Still a ways off, but you got the basic idea of what kind of location it is.

Addendum to my previous hint. Not only did I keep what is behind and ahead of Mariah out of the picture, but if I had aimed the camera downward at all it would probably give away where she is.

Bitter Springs?

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Bitter Springs?

Not Bitter Springs, but you are quite warm. Your guess was the closest answer yet.

I guess my hints haven't been as helpful as I thought they'd be. As all these guesses have been getting at, the location is indeed along the Colorado River. I realized just a little while ago that a helpful hint was left just out of the picture. It was a sign, but I won't say what that sign was just yet.

Hmm, maybe another hint is needed. The sign I was referring to says "scenic overlook." It is right behind that little barrier of rocks in front of Mariah.

[Lopov]

Lopov facepalms.

Camp Guardian?

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

Lopov facepalms.

Camp Guardian?

And there it is! While I preferred Guardian Peak since it is technically that location, it's basically the same area and I was going to accept either answer.

The location that Mariah was looking toward was The Fort, behind her is that deserted NCR camp, and what I was referring to that was below her is the long drop to the ground below (which would not have given it away on its own, but with the other clues would've made it more likely to be figured out).

Your turn, Lopov!

[Lopov]

As soon as you mentioned the "Scenic Overlook", I remembered that place, but before I was clueless. You really took that pic at a tricky angle, obscuring anything that'd hint to the location.

The other day I found this old screenie from New Vegas in a folder, where screenies that survived my disk crash from years ago, are stored. It took me a while to figure out where it was taken but then I remembered.

So tell me...where is Joe Burg?

[mALX]

Vault 19?

[Lopov]

Nope.

[Lopov]

Looks like hints are needed.

This location can only be accessed during a specific quest of the main quest and even then, it's quite hard to access it. It's not necessary to discover this location at all, however.

[SubRosa]

The bunker under The Fort, where you upgrade the Securitrons?

[Lopov]

Nope.

[Kane]

El Dorado Substation?
