If I remember right you can
report back to the NCR and they'll tell you to just assassinate the leader rather than convincing everyone to vote against him.

Yeah.. I had to stop playing. I'm still frustrated about it since it seems to be an important quest also. Totally agree with you there. I just hope before I'm done with the game that Obsidian patch this, so I can finish it. Shit like that shouldn't pass testing. There's no excuses, it's so blatant.

Nope, 360 version. Wish I had a capable enough PC to play it for workarounds such as those and mods. But I've had to stick with the 360 version. I've had a few annoying glitches, but this is the worst by far. I don't know how many people did it in what order, but it should accommodate you no matter what order you play the quests in.
Confidence Man said:
Not received an option like that.
All it told me to do was:
-(Optional) Disgrace Karl in front of Papa Khan, which I did.
-Speak to Diane and Jack to convince them. Did that.
-Give evidence to Regis about Caesar. Didn't do.
-Speak to Melissa to convince her. Can't do because of the bug.

Could you be referring to a separate quest later down the line? I wouldn't be so peeved with that, since then
it wouldn't affect the endgame as much?

If you are determined to get a very high (possibly highest?) quest completed count in one playthrough, try my walkthrough. If you follow it carefully you won't miss anything. It sidesteps quite a few quest related bugs.Lakitu said:

I haven't seen anyone top the 87-88 quest count the walkthrough gets.

I was doing the NCR missions and one of them was to go to the Khan's encampment and either wipe them out or convince them not to join Caesar. I did the same things you did and just went back to whoever it was that assigned it to me and they advised me to assassinate the leader. You should be able to finish the quest that way.

I want to say from
Hoover Dam. It was pretty far into the NCR mission line, I believe.
Who gave you the quest?
Just checked in the GECK.
It was the first mission from Colonel Moore at Hoover Dam, for the quest For the Republic, Part 2.

This happened to me. I was never able to find it again. Some people say to check the bottom level of Vault 22, but my ED-E never showed up there. Extremely frustrating bug since it can prevent you from doing any of Gannon's quests (as it did me).

This just happened to me. Another fun fact: You can't even finish the game if you side with
Caeser, as you can't tell him to wait outside if he's nowhere to be found. Yet they still won't let you in the tent "with others." Fucking ridiculous.
Nose Master said:
I was actually worried about this, but to my surprise,
even though I was only able to dismiss Veronica, my other companion and not ED-E, I was still allowed in Caeser's tent. I have no idea how this worked (I had ED-E's perk at all times, so I think the game believed that it was still with me inside the tent). I was able to finish the end game with no problems.

I'm thinking about
popping a stealth boy and killing the guard, though that'll be kinda difficult without weapons. It wouldn't let me enter when I tried a few minutes ago. I have an alternate save, but it was an hour or so ago and I don't want to do it all again just for ED-E to fuck off again somewhere. I think I might load it then dismiss him.
Nose Master said:
That's so weird. I wonder why I was able to go in with an invisible ED-E and you can't, even though you're experiencing the same bug. My other companion was Veronica, for what it's worth. I just dismissed her (and not ED-E, obviously) and they let me in.

luxarific said:
Hmm. I have Raul, I just told him to wait, though. I'll try dismissing him outright.
PS: Is it bad to give Raul an assault rifle? He kinda groaned at me later on in dialogue, but isn't that still influenced by his "guns" stat?
Nose Master said:
I'm actually on the quest right now and though my ED-E is missing in action/unfindable I can still do the quest. I actually lost him during the start of the quest and then he just wandered off... like Towelie.
I love this game but fuckin' eh Obsidian.

Guys sorry this question has probably been asked... but I just messed with the ini file just now and my PC crashed. All I really want to change is the distance I can see stuff. I'd like too see detail really far. My PC can handle it.. 8gb ram.. 5870R. Is there a ini tweak for this???

Is it possible to play this game solo? Not only I much prefer to play as a solo kind of a guy ("Strongly disagree" to "Do you rely to others for support" during the interview), but also all of these stories about companions glitches and bugs shenanigans really deter me from even attempting to get a follower during my playthrough. Bah.
Xbox360, approximately 12-13 hours of gameplay, so far four random freezes (two during loading screen from inside a building to the overworld, one during repairing armor, and one when I direct my character to sit)

Played with the Geck for most of the day today. God damn that thing is more difficult than I thought... and I haven't even mastered building an interior yet. Ugh. Would make it a lot easier if there were a simple way of finding what pieces you want.

After a long day of mowing down Fiends, Legion, Super Mutants, RadScorpions, Ghouls and Deathclaws; I just like to put on my favorite suit and feel the wind on top of a hill while I'm taking in the scenery.
I'm immensely enjoying this game, I'd like to say that I don't want it to end...but there's no end in sight anyway. ( Just when I think I am done all the side quests, new locations are discovered and new quests are unlocked!!) It's like a living, breathing and ONGOING world this beautiful Mohave wasteland. There's no end to this Courier's Journey!
Thanks so much Obsidian and Bethesda

I'm loving this game, even though it runs like an ass on my computer. Waaay better than Fallout 3 IMHO.
Anyone seen a crash when buying things from merchants?
I've reproduced it twice now... buy a bunch of stuff from a Traveling Merchant at
, and after the "clink" the game hard crashes.
A shame, because he's got stuff I want, too. :\
Edit: I can buy things from him, but a certain loadout of goods crashes me... at least I got the Reinforced Leather Armor I wanted, though!

Yep I got the exact same issue right at the Mojave outpost...I linked the reason to the playing cards, I was going nuts buying all the playing cards from that specific Merchant. the game kept crashing...
So to pin point the reason of the crash I tried to make my purchases one by one and click "Accept" all weapons, aid, apparel, misc. etc. etc are fine, even if you buy a card or two it's fine but when you buy like three or more cards in a row and click on "Accept!" BAM!! crash time baby!! ring a ding a ding!
Speaking of playing cards, I have buncha random playing cards in my inventory from all over the place...100 plus playing hours in the game I still (APPARENTLY) don't have enough (30) cards to play a hand of "Caravan" so what am I doing wrong? how do I collect the proper amount (30) I have more than 30 I am sure but they are not a set.. they are all random crap.
I really want to start playing this "Caravan" game before I complete the actual game,
can someone please help me with this matter thanks.

EricHasNoPull said:
Yeah, I'd just about narrowed it down to that. Thanks for confirming before I spent any more time on it.
As for Caravan, uh... wow? You missed something from the VERY start of the game.
Ringo gives you a starter deck and holotape on how to play in Goodspring. It's practically part of the tutorial.
As far as I know, you need a basic deck to start playing. The other cards are just to customize it, I think.
I could use a good strategy guide/write-up on Caravan, if anyone has one... the holotape isn't really helping me learn it, and I haven't been able to win one yet.

AHHH! Okay that explains alot :lol
I always stop by Goodsprings (as my homebase) to get remedied by Doc Mitchel and sell stuff to Chet (he always has lots of caps to trade for my scraps) I also use that Work Bench next to his store the most in the game, other than that I do not do anything else in Goodsprings. If you can please let me know how do I meet up with Ringo and get this starter deck from him; that would be great, do I need to do a quests in Goodsprings? talk to the bartender there and whatnot?
EricHasNoPull said:
After doing the tutorial stuff with Sunny, she sends you to talk to Trudy. You witness her in a fight with a Powder over the town harboring Ringo, who is holed up in the locked gas station. When you go there next, it's unlocked. He challenges you to a game of Caravan as a sign of trust or something, and gives you a deck.
Hope that helps!
I think I'm officially done with the game
in my 3rd playthrough (on going)..
I completed
:lol :lol That said, I've absolutely had my fill of the game and as much as you'd like to say the game plays differently, it really doesnt. I'm playing melee, semi villianous but it kind of feels like there's little overall world impact aside from people acting you all the time.
ah well, see you guys when DLC hits.
in my 3rd playthrough (on going)..
I completed
omerta's quest by empowering SAL instead of using cachino and I also helped the cannibals eat human flesh
ah well, see you guys when DLC hits.

Creating a custom deck from all the basic cards of 5-8, plus all the face cards (J-K plus the 2 jokers), and playing initial cards as either 5 or 8 0 - offers a statistically higher chance of winning. I customised my deck further by replacing the Queens with an additional 5, 8, Joker and King, as those 4 are the most important within this custom deck. Some game designer came up with the original design, I believe.
I won about 95% of my game played with this method.

Been reading up on those Hardcore speedruns, seems like fun. Going to attempt one this week, seems it can be pulled off within 60-90 min depending on the faction alliance chosen.

I'm in a bad situation with this game. I'm about 34 house in and the game now locks up every time I try to enter the Strip. (360 version) It loads for a second, then the screen goes black and thats all... hard lockup. When I restart the xbox I have a corrupt auto save.
A few other people with this same issue on the Giant Bomb forums. There don't appear to be any work workarounds... I'm not about to start over and wish for the best...

Happened to me, had to load a previous save. Lost like an hour or two of wandering around that I made up in like 20 minutes, but yeah, it sucks.
Especially for you since it sounds like you weren't keeping save files other than the autosave.

No chance you're hitting the Old Cowboy Hat bug? There's a workaround for it here, but from what I remember reading, killing a certain NPC and depriving the strip of his hat can cause the strip to crash. Which is a problem, since killing the guy and taking the hat is an actual part of an actual side quest.
