Ghost People Don't Give Exp When Killed : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:10 pm

Topic title says it all. Anyone else have this problem? What gives?

Are you removing one or more of their limbs? For instance, a sneak attack critical to the torso won't actually kill them, but one to the head that decapitates them will.

Are you killing them you have to decapitate blow a limb off or I think burn em!

Yes, I'm decapitating them and all that jazz. They die.

Can anyone confirm they get exp from Ghost People? I'm doing Dead Money again on my second character, and same problem.

Yeah I'm having this problem too. Killing them fully and all.

Since Dog showed me how to kill them, they die like any other creature and give me 100 xp I think.

Ah right, you don't get XP for killing them until you talk to Dog. There's an option somewhere and a popup will come up.

Oh shoot. Thanks.

Yes you do. I haven't "released" Dog, I have God as my companion. I get 50xp for every Ghost Person killed. (Maybe it becomes 100xp after talking to Dog? Don't know, haven't tried it.)

Oh what. Great. This throws a spanner in the mix.

Just eliminating the obvious. Assuming you hit level 30 already, did you get the level 35 cap increase "popup" message after the DLC is loaded?

Yes. DLC fully integrated.

EDIT: I should mention that quests still give me exp, I can level, and the occasional Sierra Madre radroach gives their 1 exp too.

There are four easy ways kill the ghost people.

- Use melee weapons like cosmic knife clean and knife spear clean with V.A.S.T.

- Use Holorifle with Meltdown Perk(If have it)

- When they're unconscious, remove their limb any parts

- Companion with Dog. There also unlocked perk give to you(You need speak to him about the ghost people).

Is this bug reproducible on all three platforms? It seems to be a pretty big bug.
