Dead Money Belltower Bug

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 2:03 am

After placing the 3 companions in preparation for the gala event, I seem to have gotten stuck getting to the belltower. After I kill all the ghost people in the wine cellar, I seem to reach a dead end after destroying the next radio I come across. Past the radio is an awning, that I can only assume I am supposed to cross to get to the adjacent balcony, but for whatever reason my character is hovering 2 feet above the ground when walking on it and cannot get through to the balcony across the courtyard. Am I doing something wrong, headed the wrong way, missing something or the victim of a game halting bug?

You have to get to the second floor balcony in the main courtyard, then enter the room opposite the big stairs. After a lot of beds and a small open area you'll end up in a room with a black hole in the ceiling, that's the bell tower. Climb the ladder.

Oh, man, getting to that area was just about my biggest facepalm moment ever in all of my Fallout adventures. I came out onto that walkway around the courtyard before the bunk room, turned right and ran into the broken edge of the walkway, well out of jump range to the bunk room.

I spent at least another hour of time frantically looking everywhere for some other way to reach that room, driving myself utterly crazy in the process, before finally noticing that if I had turned left on that walkway instead of right, I would have noticed that it led all the way around to the bunk room, completely unbroken.
