Beyond the Beef - Good

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:55 am

For the life of me I can't get this, and I'm starting to think this quest is just bugged. I get sponsored by Marjorie, go down stairs to Phillipe, get the recipes (tried several different ways, killing him, locking him in the pantry etc). I pass the speech check in the hallway, telling the member Mortimer told me to move Ted. I take Ted up through to the dining hall, and wait for Mortimer to finish his speech. When I try to move to talk to Mortimer to expose him, the entire room attacks me!

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

This quest is bugged I had to do it three times to complete it. The first time ted attacked me with a flamer halfway through our way to his father for no reason and the second time we made it back to the to his father but ted just stood at the entrance to the hall and wouldn't do anything.

Bump for help on this one. Due to me being lazy with hardsaves and getting screwed over by quicksaves, I really don't want to have to redo two whole quest chains...
Spoiler
but I did bust Ted out, flee the casino, return to get my guns and gun down every single White Glove. No dialogue option for Ted or Heck, but Yes Man's quest is updated.

The bouncer in the front of the room was causing problems for me. She was stuck in "combat mode" but wasn't attacking before, but everytime I brought the kid in she would attack. Eventually, I loaded a save at a point before I had cooked the fake beef went in there and dropped a grenade in her inventory. After that it worked ok.

Spoiler
Enter the main dining hall in sneak mode, and DO NOT budge from the door. The guard in the distance can be seen in combat mode, just bugging out, but that's alright for the time being. You lie in wait while Mortimer makes his speech, DO NOT interrupt him. Only once he is done speaking do you make a bee line for him, talk him, and expose him. Once this is done, noone will be hostile to you anymore and you can walk down to Heck at your leisure.


Hope this helps.
