Fallout 2: problems @ enclave

Bastard

First time out of the vault
i know that i have to talk to the scientist at the nuclear bomb and tell him to use the virus on his own people, but it doesn´t work...is it maybe because my speak skill is only at 44%?!
 
I suppose so. Per doesn't seem to mention how much you need exactly (I just checked), but he does mention that, while talking to him, "you get plenty of chances to make a speech check and awaken his dormant conscience." Maybe you didn't pick the right dialogue options?

Don't know what else you can do to make him release the FEV...
Maybe Mentats, which boosts your intelligence, also boosts your speech skills? (but probably not enough)

Hmm... :roll:
 
mmm no i think i have allready picked all possible dialogue options

and also no more Mentats in my invetory :) ... i´ll have to get back to america to increase my speach skill and get some Mentats
 
Well, you can also finish the game without having Dr Curling release the FEV...
 
But it's not that satisfying. I always get a weird fuzzy feeling when I see all them evil people die and lay down for the eternal deep dream in a pool of their own blood.

And my bet is that your speech skill is too low.
 
Yeah, your speech skill is too low. You talk to two different scientists to have the following effects:

Release virus: lots of XP and kills off random techs and citizens (including the president's secretary, so you don't get her funny dialog) Talk to the man on the level with the president.

Destroy the Reactor: talk to the guy ont he reactor level in the room with the guard. He'll shut down the computer and start a ten-minute countdown for the meltdown. This, of course, also nets lots of XP (you can't fart on the Enclave without getting a few 1,000 XP).

You can talk to those two doctors (One is Dr. Curling, I forget the other's name) regardless of weather or not you've been shooting people along the way, so, if you go in guns blazing you can still net the XP from these quests if your speech is up to it. You needn't talk to either of them; releasing the Virus doesn't kill anyone who really need to be dead, and starting the meltdown can be done by disabling the computer controlling the reactor. (Do that with a pack of explosives; plenty of them in the Enclave, hopefully you brought some since there aren't any on the reactor level and you *don't* want to go through the puzzle room again. I learned that the hard way.)
