before meeting the House?

So I just got out of Boulder City. And Victor met me and made conversation. Afterwards he left traveling towards New Vegas and I followed him out of curiosity. Along the way there were some fiends he came in contact with. He killed one, but the other killed him using energy weapons and turned his body into an ash pile.

I'm wondering, is this a game breaking potential bug?

I ask because I've heard when meeting Yes Man, if you kill him with an energy weapon, you stop the potential for that Quest path because it turns his body into an ash pile so the game doesn't recognize whether to respawn him into a new Securitron robot.

I'm debating whether to restart a different save or continue on this path because it's more organic
