Fall of New Reno [Fallout 2]

I'm just curious, as I'm now starting to finally 'tie up loose ends' on this particular city...how did those that remember it, did it?

I sneaked aboard the Enclave Vertiburd after doing almost all (except final/Made Man Reward) quests, came back after who knows when, was told Boss Salvatore wanted to see me...remembered I found a Poison Tank and using Stealth+Steal, 'whacked' the bastard by watching him gasp to death. (I had the quest from Jesus to do it!) So I missed out on an award that I already got by sacking Navarro to hell...

Went to Mordino. Said I would join after I save my Village. Tried to whack me. Reloaded Save. Combat, Nuke Cola, Mordino kicked the bucket. I get the feeling my next whack job will be Bishop, as I'm told the Wrights are the 'better world' for New Reno. (There's an AVP joke in there somewhere...) And I of course, expect to either leave Wright alone or become his Made Man.

How did you guys take down New Reno? I've made a save file for when I first got here cause seeing that mobster in the fedora with the Tommy Gun...tell me its not tempting to blast him back into the 1930s.
 
If you mean "better world", than it is maybe a small joke to Weyland-Yutani from the old Aliens movie by James Cameron. AvP wasn't really that much of a thing when F2 was in production/released.

But I really don't remember that dialog anymore. So I can't say if that was their intention or not. Could be just coinsidence.
 
I just play New Reno in a squeeze-as-much-xp-out-of-it-as-possible kind of way, which means a lot of running back and forth

The very last thing I do though, is the little "side joke", where you can give one of the Wright kids a gun, and thus "whack" the very final mobster boss in the city (if you leave him for last that is, and also, none of the others order you to kill him)

I will also make a tradition out of making the shoot-outs prior to that (Mordinos and Bishops in particular) as chaotic as possible, dragging the shooting out into the streets, and deliberately position myself so that as many patrons, hookers and dealers get accidentally hit by the gangsters, involving them all in the fight.
I kinda like that they fight with me :D Since hookers aren't very efficient at killing, they are usually still at it after I have eliminated all serious opposition, so I'll still click the turns, while patiently (and a little bit proudly) watching them meticulously stab host/butler/dunnowhatscalled to death

As a final touch, I will also shoot that comedian. He had it coming.
