For the Republic, Part 2 problem : Fallout: New Vegas

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 11:49 am

I know this quest is severely messed up anyway, but I thought I'd throw in my experience: I had already dealt with the Khans before getting this quest; they were not going to support Caesar. Now I cannot advance this quest, or fix it with the console. What happens now? This is my first playthrough - I waited till the big mid-december patch to start properly. It's not the first bug I've come across in around 50 hours, but it's the first that really messes up the game. In fact, even if a fix was possible, even looking for info about fixing it involves reading so many spoilers it ruins parts of the game anyway.

If anyone has found a way around this, please let me know. I've tried using the console to set the relevant objectives and stages completed, but that didn't work: dialogue with Moore just would not happen then.

For anyone else who fell down this particular hole, here is an option from the Khans' quest that doesn't cause the problem above:

Spoiler

In the quest Oh My Papa I chose the option which resulted in the Khans deciding to launch a suicide mission. This breaks the Republic quest (possible irony, as I guess the subject of that attack would have been Caesar's Legion). Choose the option that results in the Khans leaving the Mojave. That allows you to tell Moore that the Khans won't be a problem. I guess the value of this solution depends on how long you'd been playing between finishing Oh My Papa and running into the problem - and that's assuming you even have a savegame close to point you need.
