Can't talk with Corporal Sterling or Betsy in Camp Forlorn

[Deleted560004User]

So, basically, I am trying to finish Raul's quest. I can't, because whenever I talk to Corporal Sterling, he gives me an idle NPC line (I think it's like, "We've got your back") and I have tried using the console to enable, disable, kill and then resurrect him to reset his conversation parameters, but it just ain't working. I also have the same problem with Betsy. I can't talk to her, either. She just says, "Quit talking, we've got a job to do."

 

I think it has to do with me invading Nelson, doing the bounty quests and every other Camp Forlorn quest without talking to them (no idea they existed tbph.) Is there a console command to reset an NPC's lines? It's just that I just attained Raul and did all of the Forlorn things more than a few hours back, not to mention the bounty quest was one of the first quests I did...

 

Can I assume there is a way to use the GECK so I can still have conversations with them?

Thank you, much appreciated.

Hey, It's almost the end of the decade and I was wondering if any of you would look back at your own old comments? Thanks and we live in a society. :happy:

Please note the date of the previous post, and see the Nexus "Terms of Service" about not resurrecting old threads. The primary reason is that the original thread participants are seldom still around, and it is unlikely that you have exactly the same setup. Details matter. Unsolved problems are usually due to vague descriptions of symptoms without any underlying details. And unless you are providing a definitive solution or significant new solid leads towards such a solution, it does not justify resurrecting an old thread. Even in the latter case you are better off starting your own thread and providing all the details requested in the wiki "How to ask for help" article.

All the older posts in this thread give are "symptoms" with no information to help identify the potential causes. Which is why they went unanswered. OTOH, they were shortly after the game was released and the problem might have been fixed with a later patch (I don't know). Most people have other things demanding their time than digging through old unanswered threads. The problems we have answers for have been collected (where known and possible) to the FNV Wiki articles in my signature.

 

IF you are having the same problem as the OP 9 years later, try asking for help the correct way.

 

Please provide ALL the information requested in the wiki "How to ask for help" article. Don't forget to identify things that do not appear in the "load order", such as the version of Windows, if you are using a "Steam" or "GOG" and/or "regional language version" of the game (even if you are playing it in English); using the FNV4GB Patch, NVSE and it's related plugins; replacements for textures (specifically their larger image sizes: 1024x1024, etc.), animations, or "bodies", etc.; and "post-processors" like ENB or SweetFX. It saves us playing "20 questions" and gets you a more specific answer more quickly. (The usual turn-around on post and reply in an older game forum is 24 hours.) Screenshots don't usually work so well because they tend to cut off or fail to display needed information and are hard to "piece together" into a complete and coherent picture.

* See "How to markup images (etc) in forum posts and comments" article for how to use "Spoiler tags". "LOOT" already includes those tags in the "load order" it copies to your clipboard, so you can just paste it's list into your post.
