Got a couple new (as far as I can determine) bugs to report in Broken Hills.
My setup:
WinXP SP3
Humongous Install (US version), RP2.1.1 (windows installer)
All options turned on
Re: Break Manson and Franc out of prison
I picked the lock to the cell with the Supermutant in "the drunk tank." Upon opening the door, I got the XP award and notification of performing the jailbreak. I haven't gotten the quest from Jacob, or even been inside the actual jail (where Manson and Franc are locked up) yet.
(It seems all the locked cell doors are sharing the script/properties for the actual quest cell door, maybe?)
edited to add: Same thing happens with the other, empty cells in that building. I picked the lock on one of the other cells, Cassidy wandered through the door, opening it, and I got the Jailbreak XP and Karma loss.
Re: Beat Francis at armwrestling
The first time I spoke to him, he responded something like, "I've heard of you, I don't talk to scum." I'm not a slaver, I've got positive Karma, I've done right by Gecko, hell I've even got Lenny in the party. Maybe he just doesn't like teenagers?
edited once again to add:
On an unrelated note, I can't smoke. I've got a pack of Commies, and (in the included savegame) there's a lighter in the trunk of the car. When I have both in inventory, and try to use the smokes within the inventory screen, or put them in one hand and "use on" myself outside of the inventory screen, in both cases I get the "that does nothing" response. If I try to use them without the lighter, I get the "you need a lighter" response. In a previous playthrough, I found they worked so long as I only had one lighter in inventory, but with more than one, I got the same "that does nothing" from the game.

(And like an idiot, I forgot to give large, buffout-enhanced, radioactive thanks to Killap, Timeslip, and everyone else who helped breathe life back into FO2.)
