I've been playing through Fallout 1 (FO1) under various different characters in order to give me a chance to quickly learn which type of character I most enjoy. But I've noticed a peculiar behavior of the game, and I was curious if anyone else has experienced it.
Sometimes I can't get quests (or steps within a quest) to trigger. I follow steps described in Fallout wiki, and for some of my characters the quests trigger, but on other characters they won't trigger. If the wiki lists minimum stats/skills required, I've verified my character meets them. Also if there are any prerequisite events, I complete those first.
Here are a few of examples....
Quest: Rescue Initiate from the Hub
Character #1 and #3 were able to successfully join the Brotherhood and speak to Talus to trigger the quest to save the initiate held hostage in The Hub. Saved initiate and received Power Armor as reward.
Character #2 also successfully joined the Brotherhood, but Talus doesn't have option to talk about the initiate.
Quest: Bust the Skulz gang
Character #2 and #3 were able to successfully convince Sherry to give evidence.
Character #1 completed same steps as Characters #2 and #3, including following same conversation path, but unable to convince Sherry to give evidence.
Quest: Help Saul
Characters #1, #2 and #3 were able to talk to Trish about Saul after she was attacked. Characters #1 and #2 were successful in getting Saul to give up boxing. But for Character #3 the option to talk to Saul about Trish did not appear. All other topics appeared for Character #3 except the option to talk about Trish.
I could provide some more examples, but hopefully this gives a good idea of the "bugs" I've been encountering.
Any suggestions, tips or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
