Ok so I did the little side quest to find the missing laser pistol for the BoS quartermaster I found the pistol and returned it to her, but everytime I speak to her she asks me "have you found it yet..." I tell her no and then that's the end of the convo so I can't seem to even buy anything from her except for the rare occurence that I tell her I haven't found it and it goes back to her standard speech tree where I can ask for items for sale.

Also I did the quest for hardin to overthrow the elder and it said quest completed, but the guy I was supposed to find the ventilation system parts for keeps asking me if I have found any of the parts yet, so not sure if I can still do that task for him since the quest has completed and I don't have the markers for where the parts are anymore.

Another quest is the crimson caravan quest to have cassidy caravans bought out (I completed the quest to be initiated into the BoS where you kill the van graffe's) and it said I failed the crimson caravan quest as well as heartache by the number. Again, though I can still talk to mclafferty as well as Cass and still have the options in the speach trees to complete those quests.

so what is going on? Has anyone else had issues like this? I want to get Cass but I don't want to put points into speech if iin reality I can't still do the negotiation for the buy out. This is the case with a few other quests as well, but I can't remember their names off hand.

Edit: The Crimson Caravan quest is back in my quest list after playing for a little while today, it then proceeded to disappear from the list and then reappear again after about another hour or so of playing.

Sorry I posted as a reply, but the thread wasn't letting me edit my initial post for some reason.

Is anyone having these same issues? Or is this a unique bug that only I am experiencing? Anyone?

Where did you find the pistol?
