For Everyone who hates Easy Pete in Fallout:New Vegas

The first time i played fallout:New Vegas, I went up to easy pete. i had not made any saves before hand, and I punched him in the face. He started to shoot me, and since i was a fallout noob, i ran into the saloon. Everyone shot me in there too, and it made a save when i walked into the saloon. So what happend was i was in an infinite loop of death, all for punching Easy Pete. To this day i hate that ugly old man, and kill him when i have the chance. :)
