A suggestion

[odya]

Alright, i've been playing NV for a while now, and I've never really encuntered many game breaking bugs but this is on a whole new level. I am, of course speaking of no other bug than the Silver Rush first visit bug, the one where Jean ''Asshat'' Baptiste tries to shoot the ''last guy who bothered him'' aka the ''guy who volunteered to test the weapons'' aaaand he just get's stuck and proceeds to stand there for the rest of ETERNITY, I have tried all workarounds, reloading saves? Didn't work. Console commands found on the wiki? Nope. Resurrecting? Nuh-uh, does not work for me.

Now it's not like I wouldn't like to see Mr. Asshat get stuck for the rest of eternity and be made to stand in the same spot with no food nor drink, unable to scream for help, unable to move or do anything until our galaxy collides with another one and everyone unfortunate enough to still be left on this god forsaken planet just plain straight f*#@ing dies but just.. Hear me out okay?

So my question is, is there any way that someone could make a mod that would COMPLETELY remove this sequence, thus making sure that the game will NOT get stuck on the first visit event? There's like barely 2 posts I could find about this bug yet the way the Wiki puts it it seems like this happened to a lot of people, seemingly, something like re loading must have done it for them, but that didn't work for me no matter how many god damn times I tried.

Also, this is the second time I've had this bug, yet the first time that i've tried every workaround without any success, literally nothing seems to work, also a lot of things in game just don't seem right, I never recall to have seen that annoying ass of a Powder Ganger in Goodsprings doing whatever the hell he was doing there (all I remember is that he threatened a bunch of people and blah blah then there was a quest and whatever) And I do seem to recall there being a bartender in the goodsprings saloon aswell so my game might just be permanently f*#@ed, but in any case if you want to help a lazy bastard like me out and make it so that i don't have to reinstall everything, start a new game and play trough half of the game just to get to speak with the assholes in the Silver Rush that'd be great, but then again the only reason I'd ever visit Mr. Asshat and his sister would be to get energy weapons and there are ways to work around this so oh well.

And no, I have no idea why or how did I manage to stretch what would have been a simple mod request into a f*#@ing novel so don't ask. But it's probably all the obsidian games I've played recently, what can I say? I learn from the best.

I'd bet you could just edit the quest to skip to a new stage. I'll try adn take a peek at it for you.

This happened to me once. I forget the details, but what I eventually found out was that a mod had changed either Mr. Asshat's weapon or ammo, BUT NOT BOTH, so he had no ammo for his gun and instead of shooting the guy all he could do was just stand there and fidget in abject embarrassment... I fixed it by uninstalling the mod and reloading a save from before my first visit to the Silver Rush.

 

PS. But note that the event can bug out all on its own without any mod interference, too! I've just been lucky.
