Unconscious Lyons *contains spoilers for main quest*

[Forkmod]

Hi all,

 

I'm a semi-long time lurker and a first-time poster. I'm on my first playthrough of Fallout 3 and wanted to finish the main questline before modding too much. The topic description sums up my basic problem but here are the details:

 

Very early one in my playthrough, Sarah Lyons was knocked unconscious by a Fat Man shot while taking out the Behemoth outside the GNR Radio Station. I didn't think much of it at the time although I think that is what's causing me problems now. I am at the part of The American Dream where I am supposed to report to Elder Lyons. I go to the Citadel and listen to the dialog but after I talk to Elder Lyons and they decide to assault Project Purity nothing happens. I did some peeking at a walkthrough and it says that at this point Sarah Lyons talks to me and starts the next quest. It was then I noticed that her eyes were closed and that she didn't actually speak (mouth didn't move) during the cutscene.

 

I used the code "EnablePlayerControls" to be able to move around and saw that she was still marked as unconscious. Is there any code I can enter to wake her up? Has anyone else had this problem? Do I have any options besides starting over from scratch (as with the earlier games i play on a single save file to resist the urge to go back and change decisions)? If anyone has any suggestions they would be most welcome. Thanks!

Is there any code I can enter to wake her up?

Open the console, click Lyons to get the reference number, type:

SetUnconscious 0

This should wake him up. But maybe there is sth wrong with the quest at all, just try this first

 

good luck

Thanks Tomato.

Your suggestion didn't solve the problem but maybe the info gathered from it can. After opening the console I clicked on Lyons to get the following ref#: 0001d44f. I tried entering your suggestion two different ways which resulted in two different error messages. I apologize if these messages should seem obvious, but like I said I'm new to the game.

 

1st try - I entered "SetUnconscious 0 0001d44f"

I got the following message: "SCRIPTS: Script 'SysWindowCompileAndRun', line 1: Expected end of line."

 

2nd try - I entered "SetUnconscious 0001d44f 0"

I got the following message: "SCRIPTS: Script 'SysWindowCompileAndRun', line 1: Unknown variable '0001d44f0 for parameter Integer."

 

Im guessing that my first try was closer to being correct based on the message, but I cant say for sure. What do you think?

Don't add the ref number. Just SetUnconcious 0. Clicking on her sets her as the target for the command.

Worked like a charm. Thank you evilneko for explaining what I was doing wrong and Tomato for providing the initial solution. I'm glad I wont have to muck through the main quest a second time before trying out the DLC content!
