I have a different problem with the Thorn. Having read the wiki article on it, I know this is a common bug, but I'm not sure how to fix it with console commands. I chose to fight 3 nightstalkers. After killing all 3 from a distance with gunfire, the doors remained locked behind me. I couldn't find the door ID to unlock with the console, so instead I transported myself to a quest location with the "movetoqt" command. That worked fine and I completed a step in the Bleed Me Dry quest in the meantime. After returning, Lucy still acts as though she's waiting for me to kill the nightstalkers and will only say that the crowd's waiting for me. I can't initiate dialogue, receive my reward for killing the creatures or completing the portion of Bleed Me Dry. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Console command, patch, etc? EDIT: I'm not so good at using GECK and making patches, so I'd prefer to avoid that if I can.

On my 12th or so playthrough of Fallout 3 (and my 4th or 5th using mods) I got a little bored and started trying to find new ways to play. So, with a few mods (I'll list the relevant ones) my new character is: The Woodsman! Essentially I'm playing a survivalist/ranger, using low-tech weapons as much as possible and dressing in Oasis garb (I had to spawn this with the console since I'm playing a good karma character) and using Broken Steel (necessary for multiple high-level perks and high levels of skill). Mods used: Book of Earache (and related necessary resources) for crossbow & arrows and shotgun, Ultimate Perk Pack for several perks, Enhanced Weather for sneak bonus during storms, a few other mods not related to my character build. Weapons: 'bamma Slamma Combat Knife, Crossbow, Dart Gun, Deathclaw Gauntlet, The Terrible Mossberg (terrible shotgun modded by Earache's mod, just for emergencies!), multiple grenades and mines for setting traps and reverse pickpocketing. Relevant skills: Stealth and small guns at 100, explosives at 97, unarmed at 85, melee at 80. Relevant chosen perks (and descriptions for perk pack ones): Finesse, Demolition Expert, Better Criticals, Paralyzing Palm, Ninja, Loner (lvl 8, 5% more damage while alone), Born Survivor (lvl 16, +30 HP, 2x damage with combat knives, 2x damage against animals), Repairman (lvl 16, 90% or better conditioned weapons do 25% more damage), The Shadow (lvl 20, 25% cloak field while sneaking). Relevant acquired perks (and descriptions for perk pack ones): Master of the Wastes (complete 25 quests, regeneration outside combat), Entomologist (kill 1000 creatures, 2x damage to insects), Light Step (disarm 100 mines, never set off traps). Should've gotten DIY man (more damage from workbench-created weapons), and gladiator (better crit chance from melee weapons). Oh well. Anyway, that's my character! A dude who sneaks around, using stealth, close combat, traps and mines and even the creatures he kills (Deathclaw Gauntlet) to wreak havok while only ending up with about 36 DR. It's tremendously fun (thought not as good in a straight-up fight). What's your style of play? Any fun "themed" characters?
