xTrogdorx Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 So on my most recent playthrough I encountered a known bug. I ended up angering killing off the Family once I was inside Meresti already, then talking to Ian West, and then I killed the guard on the way out because he was hostile to me now. Unfortunately this causes the mission to fail because once you talk to Ian the balance between the Family and Arefu is considered to be complete, and if you attack anyone, Family or Arefu resident, beyond that point the mission fails. At the time I didn't really know what was going on so I tried a few things. I was able to complete the mission by targeting the old man at Arefu and teleporting him to me using the console, then talking to him before the mission failed. However before I did that I used the command Removeallfactions on myself. This has led to a few unfortunate side effects. One is that I'm no longer considered a friendly to my own land mines. So whenever I try and place one, it arms and starts beeping as soon as it leaves my hands. I also get XP for disarming my own mines now. The other problem is that now if I hit my companions even once with friendly fire, they become hostile to me. This becomes quite tedious as they tend to walk out in front of you while you're attacking something. Or they'll bump in to the side of you while you're firing and somehow you'll hit them without even seeing them. So what I need is a list of all the faction IDs/names, so that I can manually re-add them to my character in the console to resolve these problems.

shac555 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 All the Factions are listed in the GECK, you can look them up there and add them back to your PC :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 This is why you keep a number of saves from way back and don't do things like that in the console. You're going to have a *lot* more problems than just factions. You just hosed a number of quest variables (and possibly a few globals as well).

xTrogdorx Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Strange. Besides the issues I noted, nothing else seems to be broken.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You can't "see" variables. You have quest variables, global variables, object variables. All of them are like a house of cards. The moment you disturb one set of variables, the others can come crashing down. For now, you only notice a few consequences, but the more you play with a game hosed like that the more you'll see how things don't quite work or get stuck or possibly even crash to desktop, all because you made an uninformed change in some of the variables.
