Fallout: New Vegas, Playthrough, Pt. 2

I had trouble loading the save file.. it just kept spinning and spinning so I thought I had to start over and unload some of the DLC.. turns out the save file reloaded in game just fine.. hmm.. anyway, progressed out of Goodsprings and into Primm. Deputy Beagle died.. sigh.. so I will have to find a new Deputy or Sheriff.
