The House Always Wins, II

Post » Mon Nov 29, 2010 2:05 pm

Hi guys, am a bit stuck...

I seem to be stuck on The House Always Wins, II....I completed The House Always Wins, I by handing over the Platinum Chip to Mr House after clearing killing Ceasar and finding Benny. Now, according to the wiki, this should lead directly to part three of The House Always Wins, since I've already witnessed Mr House upgrade the Securitrons in the basemant.

So, I've progressed along The House Always Wins, II anyway and got access to the bunker in Fortification Hill, however, without the Platinum Chip, I cannot access it via the big console by the door.

I've gone back to Yes Man, House and The Fort a few times, but I can't see what I can do. Am I missing something? :huh:

I think you were supposed to upgrade the securitrons before handing house the platnum chip. At least that's what I did because I was right there.

...House should have given you the chip back. I did this a few days ago and IIRC you get the chip then give it to House who sends you to Fort Hill to activate the rest of the securitrons....

I have never had Benny taken by Caesar during a House playthrough, maybe it's a glitch? IIRC though I just talked to House and he gave me the chip (or even let me keep it, not sure I ever had it taken off me till I reached Caesar)

SPOILERS AHEAD, be careful what you read....

This is what I thought. I was so confused that I checked the wiki to see what I was missing. It says 'For part two of the quest, you must travel to Cottonwood Cove and take a raft to The Fort, where Mr. House's secure bunker is located. If you already collected the platinum chip, Mr. House will return it to you; if not, you'll need to get it back from Benny when you get there.' This has not happened, so when I access the bunker at The Fort, I have no way of activating the console by the hatch in the floor. :(

Possibly I have done some mutually exclusive things. I have -

- Informed the NCR that the Boomers will aid them in the upcoming battle.
- Resolved the quest 'How Little we Know' in favour of the Omertas (I don't know why I did this).
- Already given the chip to Mr House, and watch his Securitron upgrade in the basemant.

Also, Wild Card: Finishing Touch has not activated either, despite having made contact with all factions. When I speak to Yes Man, all I get is a dialogue to check out bunker at The Fort again, which we know that I can't do. :confused:

Is it a bug, or has the NCR/Boomer thing narrowed my path and blocked off the Yes Man/Mr House questlines?
