Most of you know that Raul has a side quest, it's not like Veronicas, but different. It's a free roam unmarked quest, to do it you have to go to Loyal in Nellis, Corporal Sterling in Camp Mcarran, and Ranger Andy at Novac. Here's the deal, to finish the quest, you have to go talk to each of them and then randomly Raul goes to you after you speak to them and tells you something about his past. After that happens with all 3 people, he will upgrade to his bandito outfit.

My issue? I can't get him to talk with Andy. I went to Loyal and Sterling, started a dialogue and just ended with a good bye, next thing I know Raul starts talking. When I go to Andy, I tried every dialogue option, saving, loading, exiting and entering his house, even re-visiting Outpost Charlie that Andy asks you to visit earlier.

Anyone else encountering this bug and have a fix for it, a mod or a workaround would be very appreciated.

EDIT: It appears it's not even in the game! After going into G.E.C.K and looking at Raul's scripts, I found 2 packages. "RaulTalkAboutLoyal" and "RaulTalkAboutSterling" script packages. There was nothing related to Andy in there, I even checked around GECK looking for anything related to the 2 of them, like RaulTalkAboutAndy and connections between the 2's dialogues. There's nothing in there, it appears the Devs screwed it up for the PC version.

Id's for the packages:

0015D84D
0015D84C

you're not alone. I've just come across this bug as well. I've gotten raul to talk after sterling and loyal but nothing i do with andy will make him talk to me.

I thought I had the same problem. I talked to Loyal first (Raul talked), then Andy (Raul didnt say anything to me), then i went to Sterling at Forlorn Hope (He talked). I went back to Novac to try again with Andy and then as soon as I got in front of Andys place, Raul started talking about him. Maybe it just gets delayed for a while? Anyways, sorry for the crappy attempt at help, good luck with it guys.

If what Foxes says is true, then it's just the game being dumb. I guess you just have to be lucky to get it done, so I'll just try go to Novac and switch between cells for a few minutes, see if I get lucky. Does anyone think if a Mini mod/patch can be made to fix this? Surely if there is a mini patch to fix the monorail quest, then something simpler like this can be done.

If anyone got the convo with Andy on NPC, try make a mini mod to help solve this. That one conversation package is all that's needed.

bump.

The massive amount of quest bugging is really putting me off this game. I had a load of trouble getting ED-Es quest sorted out and now Rauls is screwed up also..

Ive gotten him to react to Loyal and Sterling but I get nothing about Andy. Ive gone through his entire dialogue twice without skipping any of it and ive tried waiting around inside/outside his house.

I'm having the same problem I can't get him to say anything after I talk to andy.

Perhaps the ID would be 0015D84B or 0015D84E? If so does anyone know the console command that would be needed to activate these?

EDIT: AddScriptPackage 0015D84C works as does D but A, B, E and F do nothing. Its certainly not in the game and 100% broken on the PC version

I am having the same issue with Raul, I can't get the final dialog to unlock the 2nd perk. You said you spoke to sterling at Forlom Hope? I found him at Camp McClarren (sp?) standing in front of the tent. Was that a mistake or is that where you found him?

Sterlings location depends on whether you have completed a certain quest beforehand or not.

Anyhow ive done some digging and the package is certainly NOT in the game, at least the PC version, making this quest unfinishable. I managed to trigger the 2 packages mentioned in the first post via the console but when ending in A, B, E and F (was all I tried) I got errors each time. Its a big shame as the outfit he gains from this is amazing.

from what FoxesV wrote it sounds like he was able to complete it? if so i was thinking maybe it had something to do with him finding sterling at forlom hope, as opposed to the camp.

Hes probably playing on the Xbox or PS3 version. I found Sterling at Forlorn Hope and mines broken.

No I found sterling at forlorn hope and I can't get the dialogue with raul to trigger after talking with andy.

People seem to have different issues with Sterling and Andy. It looks like a console thing, Andy issues on PC and Sterling issues on consoles. I do hope Obsidian reads these forums, because this needs to be addressed. They hauled out 2 patches in a couple of days, so I pray the next patch will be huge.

As for ED-E, I read on The Vault wikia whom you need to talk to to make him play back the messages, yet it didn't work. At least he can play them over time.

Those patches were pc only us ps3 users are still waiting...

Andy does have a script:

Do you know how we would go about utilizing this via the console? Does that script have an ID of any kind?

@Matchu,

now get this working and everyone will be happy.

For some reason I can't edit the post. A patch has been made by a user, here is the link.

What about ps3 users?

Awesome, thanks a lot for that! Worked perfectly.
