First time out of the vault
hi guys,

at the end of the cathedral level there's this ugly vault overseer your character is supposed to talk to. well, i didn't talk to him but attacked him directly (because i wanted to first hit). after i killed him and the cathedral went off, i got back to vault 13, looked into my questlog and what did i see? i made the quest "kill the head of the mutants", but the quest "destroy source of mutants" was not completed! is this some sort of glitch? do i have to talk to the overseer first in order to finish the game?

thanks,
jack
 
The source of the mutants, that thou hast to destroy, is located elsewhere on the map.
Thou must search thy map. That is my advice to thee.
And then thou must destroy them. All of them.

Go now, padawan, and save the wasteland.
 
hast thou a more specific advice where i should look? if thou mean the military base, i cleaned it ages ago!

thank thee anyway master...
 
You cleaned it? Did you blow it up as well? You've got to blow it up to finish the quest (destroy the vats = the source of the mutants).

If you did blow it up and you did off the Master and the game hasn't ended yet, there is something horribly wrong with your game.
 
Didst thou merely cleanse yon base of life, though?
Or didst thou harken to a higher calling, and cleanse thy map of yon very base?
Pyrotechnics shall be thy ticket to a greater glory.
Seek the big red button, thou must.

Go anon, and let it be done.

--Edit--

And thank you ALEC, for cutting me off at the knees on that one. That was ART, man. You just killed ART. See if I vote for you in the Battle of the Orderites now :p

I... just... wanted... to... help. I...:puppy-dog:
 
i thank both of you, blowing up that hideous military base was indeed the key to success... me and dogmeat saved everybody we could, only to be send away from vault 13 again to face new adventures!

greatest game ever guys! now i have to find the fallout 2 original box on ebay, an even harder task than saving the world!
 
You know, on my first and only playthrough of fallout 1, I never even saw the master.I just went to the basement and set off the nuke myself.I really feel like Im missing out.

You know those speed runs of fallout 1 where they beat the game in like 15 minutes? Does that involve talking to the master? I think I might do it
 
Dogmeat, Ian, and Katja all died on the way to the Military Base when I tried to take it down. :(
 
Well dogmeat died cause he ain't too bright. I thought he learned his lesson after being electrocuted 5 times in a row, but noo, he keeps going into them.
 
It's hard keeping Dogmeat and all your followers alive. I managed to keep Ian, Tycho and Dogmeat alive once, but I still lost Katja. I used the elevators to have Dogmeat stay put, but it's such a hassle, it's really not worth it. The other followers can usually manage if you give them enough medical attention.

Another time, I managed to guide all my followers alive and well through the Military Base, but I forgot to save and while heading towards Vault 13, I had a random encounter with some mutants and two of the Master's pets. Only Tycho and my own character survived that meeting. Ian, Katja and Dogmeat were simply cut in half by a minigun.

Sad business that.
