Question / Possible Glitch:

I killed Jonathan Nash (by mistake I might add - he attacked me because I didn't realize I was wearing Granger Armor).

I then saved Deputy Beagle.

Question is - everyone left in Primm wants a new sheriff. I've read that you're supposed to be able to ask Beagle (and others) to become the new sheriff. However, that dialogue option doesn't exist with ANYONE in Primm.

Am I missing some trigger? Do I have to wait several days before I ask? Is this a bug that developed because I killed Nash?

Any help appreciated.

Talk to the robot in the place where you met Nash.

I am so stuck on this quest. I am not going to say there is a bug or glitch. Here is where I am at so far. My speech skill was not high enough to get Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost to send more troops. I got Meyer out of the NCR Prison and back to Primm. Meyer says that I need to get him an NCR pardon from an authority figure down at Mojave Outpost. Ok.... easy enough. Here is the problem. I talk to EVERYONE ( Ranger Ghost, Jackson*is that his name> and Major Knight) at the Mojave Outpost. There is never an option to talk about getting Meyer a pardon. WTF!

My science skill is not high enough to reprogram Slim Primm the robot. I guess my only option is to mindlessly explore for fission batts and conductors to reprogram slim. Why can I not get more troops to help secure primm. Why can I not get a freaking pardon for Sherrif Meyer????

HELP PLEASE

Thanks for the attempt, A_Replicated_Man.

However:

I've talked to Slim Primm and all I get is a history lesson on the Vicky and Vance Casino. No option to reprogram the robot ( . ..and I specialize in speech and science!)

Anymore ideas?

Hopefully if unable to complete the quest all I will miss out on is some XP???

Hmmm... it's odd that he wouldn't have the speech option. Did he not have any speech paths at all that lead to talking about law enforcement?

The only thing I can figure is, you would have to reload to before you killed Nash, because I know he discusses the need for the Law Man. I can't remember if he mentions Slim in the speech path or not, but he may have something to do with it.

Otherwise, you could always put it aside and come back to finish it later

i think you need a high enough repair skill to do it, i managed to get the robot reprogrammed to become the new sherif

interesting.. i just went and got extra troops :confused:

To make Meyer sheriff, you talk to Major Knight.

You need to "talk about Primm" which is a conversation option that already existed, it may still be grey as if you already chose it. Choose it again. It'll bring up new options about Meyer.

I got the NCR to look over Primm... This is how I did it.

[SPOILERS]

I went to Lt. Lann or whatever, outside of Primm and talked to him about it, he says he needs more troops before he can do that and he suggest Mojave.

So I head there, and then I talk to Major Knight, he agrees to send more troops after I pass a Barter Check of 25.

Then I head back to Lt. Lann and talk to him. He says, Sargent Whatever will be the Sheriff with some Rangers supporting him. But the people of Primm have to pay taxes.

I accept.

Deputy whines about loosing his job.

I also programed the robot.

Talk to L Hayes in the NCR camp and he'll tell you to go to Mojave Outpost and talk to someone there. Have fun
