What happens if you untie Benny?

▶

If you untie Benny, he will flee Caesar’s tent and disappear from the game, preventing you from continuing the Legion Quests because once you go to Caesar after the Securitron quest, he will tell you to deal with Benny, and since Benny is no longer there, you are stuck and can’t progress past that point. Benny can also be untied by the Courier, at which point he will leave and you can choose to either kill him or let him live, with different consequences for each action.
