Cachinco bugged?

Post » Sun Mar 13, 2011 6:18 am

So I am trying to continue the main quest line, and am on the quest where Mr. House / Col. Moore want me to investigate what the bosses of Gomorrah (or however you spell it) are up to and put a stop to it if it will hinder their plans.

To complete their requests you must do the quest "What little we know", the following are all things that can happen during your completion of that quest.

I used the thermite whats-his-face gave me (the guy getting guns for the bosses) on the bosses' weapons cache after convincing Big Sal to let whats-his-face out of his contract using a speech check. I also found the black mail tape they used against whats-his-face and I have showing him that as a task for the quest, but since he ran off and completely disappeared from the game, I can't complete that.

After I destroyed the weapons I told Cachinco what I had done, and he proposed that we kill Big Sal and the other boss during a meeting w/ them. I then convinced him, using a speech check, that he could take them out all on his own during the meeting. After that I said I was ready to meet the bosses.

However, Cachinco doesn't proceed to do anything other than stand around next to the elevators in Lower Brimstone, and talking to him only gives me the dialogue option of "We'll talk later" (or something like that).

I looked around for the bosses and found them in Big Sal's office holding guns and facing a pair of chairs like they were about to blow the furniture away, but it seems I can't continue the quest w/o Cachinco there. I haven't tried just killing the bosses on my own yet. Any one else run into this problem / know of some solution like a console command to get Cachinco to go meet with the bosses? Thanks in advance.

Im also having trouble with this quest but on an xbox so no console commands for me. After telling cachino "lets go take out the bosses" he doesnt move. when I try to talk to him he says no time we've got to take out the bosses. Can I just kill the bosses myself? if I can where do I find them?

(I also posted this in a different cachino related thread but this is the exact same problem Im having)

I guess I will just try killing them w/o Cachino and see what happens, I can always reload. I'll let you know my findings Faximus.

I can give you a console fix that worked for me at Hoover dam when they would not talk to me.

Approach Cachino and hit ~ to enter the console. With the mouse, select him so that his name appears at the top of the screen.
type "disable" (no quotes), hit return. Then type "enable" hit return. close the console.
Cachino should now have his dialogue reset.

Good luck

You probably spoke to Cachino while he was en route to the bosses which does bug him and stop him in place. It occurs in a few other quests also. The best thing to do is to not talk to NPCs while they are scripted to move somewhere for a quest.

This didn't work. When I typed "disable" he disappeared and when I typed "enable" he reappeared and a line of text saying "Cachino Picked Package Dialogue ()" appeared in the console. =\ thanks any ways.
