Fallout 2 Restoration Project Gameplay Thread

Are you sure you killed all the plants on the ground of EPA? The starting map, I mean. The plants underground are not needed for that quest, only the ones above.

Yes, but maybe it's because I killed all the plants upon arriving and THEN was given the quest by the hologram? I also killed them all with weed killer lol. In my opinion if any of those two events lead to the quest not being able to be completed, its a bug. Oh well...gonna start new game for other reasons anyways.

Anyone figure out how to talk to the girl fresh from the chambers in EPA?

Nope, that way worked for me.

You can't (I mean are not supposed to be able to). However there are scripts for two other frozen characters that will teach you something, upon waking them. I don't know if those are implemented into the game though.

Someone did claim that he talked to one of them after he beat the game. Dunno if it's true though.

cheers

@Darek

Hmm strange, the plant quest must be bugged for me then. Did I also mention that I used the plant spray to kill them?

In regards to the people in the frozen chambers, I haven't actually tried having high enough science to make more types of drugs from the Mr. Chemmie machine, so maybe theres something you can make to give her since the computer that extracts her mentions that the subject requires a certain compound of chemicals in order to avoid ERS (environment rejection syndrome I believe). I also haven't even had the option to extract anyone more than just the girl in the middle (need more science?). Arg I hate being at work lol. Thanks for the response though bro.

Probleme at Gecko

Hello,

I've a problem at gecko. I started all over again but I encountered the same problem again.

I talk to skeeter but he doesn't want me to give the quest to get the 3-step-plasma regulator. I already took the requesting sheet from Harolds Office. And went to skeeter, but nothing. I Went to the reactor on my own and talked there to the ghoul who runs the place. and he ask me wether I had the requesting sheet, I answer yes, but when he ask me for the specific part my character just stumbles something which does not exists. And the ghoul answers "there is a waiting list for this part, please come back later".

So what's the problem? what the hell do I making wrong? Damn Skeeter, just doesn't want to give me the quest.

please, I need some help.

Thx

Did you deliver the super tool kit to skeet skeet in exchange for the car part yet? If not, try doing that FIRST.

yes I did already. Man I'm pissed off!

To your problem. I think it could really be a bug. I think the mod isn't 100% bug free. That's why I think you did something the game doesn't expected from you and so it's locked up.

I think it's the same problem I've with the damn skeeter cause it always worked this way:

get super toolkit. talk to skeeter. talk to him again and he gave me the quest but now with the mod it simply doesn't work. I think it's a bug, too.

Thus no one was alble to help me cause I posted the same problem for a while. But now I decided to start again and the same problem accurse.

thx for your answer

Do you by chance suffer from the bug where the power plant is already fixed the first time you get there?

There's three different people in the cryo chambers. One who dies, a spy and a combat oriented person. Unless it's only one person being reincarnated to one of the former, depending on some unknown factor. It's not stat or skill based anyway, I tried that with the character editor. If you get the one who dies there is no way of saving her, it's not in her script.

In the dialog text for Mr.Chemmie there is something called "Doctor's Chemicals" under the "make something special" section,
but it is not included in the script. The rest of the stuff you can make, can also be found elsewhere in the game...

I think you were initially able to save someone from the cryo sleep, with the help of some doctors chemicals, but that was later disabled from the game.


You did mention the bug spray, never tried that. Well I did try it on the spore plant from the experimental seed, but I didn't get it to work.


cheers

 

[killap]

That is not the purpose of the doctor's chemical.

None of those characters can be saved.

Thanks for the response darek and killap.

Is there any practical benefit in getting a particular person to extract from the chamber over another, and if so what are the requirements for each one?
And so your saying there IS a purpose for the doc's chemicals? Whats the required stats to have them appear in Mr Chemmie?

Oh so heres an update on my previous issues.

1.) Ok so I finally finished the hunting party quest but it was really strange how it happened. After rescueing sulik's sister we got warped to primitive tribe camp. WITHOUT even talking to anyone yet all of a sudden I see "You have rescued the hunting party, 600xp" I was like hmmm ok...coulda sworn I already got awarded exp for that. I check my pip, and it's still not crossed off. So then I went and talked to the warrior guarding the cave, and he thanked me for rescueing the hunting party. Checked pip again...and NOW it was finally crossed off. Not sure if this was intended, just seemed really strange.
2.) Ok so I started a new game and went to the EPA, this time DIDN'T use plant spray, and also talked to the hologram BEFORE killing the surface plants....and finished the quest! So I'm still unsure why I couldn't complete last time but since someone reported that he killed the plants before talking to the hologram and still got the quest, I would assume that it was because I killed the final plant with plant spray.
3.) Day/Night still cycles inside the EPA.

@ SoldierOfTruth

I think you misunderstood. You can only extract one person from the tank, the one who dies. The other two have been removed from the game. They would have taught you some skills though.

You cannot get the doc's chemicals from Mr Chemmie. There is simply no way of asking for it.
As for it's purpose, I'm a bit curious too.

@ killap
He, you could have told that weeks ago dammit. Lots of time wasted

cheers

Heh, OK thank you sir. I thought that's what you were trying to convey, but I guess I really WANTED the opposite to be the case.

And are you sure the "doc's chemicals" isn't Marijuana? I cranked up my science skill and used Mr Chemmie and Marijuana came up under the "something special" option. Afterall the hologram (I believe in the yellow area of EPA) mentions that the scientists used the Marijuana to "relax"...hence "doctors chemicals" lol.

Nah it's not marijuana or the heart pills. I got it from the text file for Mr Chemmie. Maybe it's what the doc gives you as a reward for doing his quests?

There are three people that can be extracted. Each based on skills, ie sneak, diplomatic, normal. Only one of the three can be extracted in a playthrough.

yes, Doctor's chemicals have been removed since they are bugged. As for their purpose, well they would just act like a normal drug but there was a random chance of what stat increase/decrease you would get.

@ Fasciana
Do you by chance suffer from the bug where the power plant is already fixed the first time you get there?

it doesn't matter whene I get there!

Iwon't work wehter the plant is repaired or not. I can go there before fixing the plant, it won't work. Going there after fixing doesn't work, too.

So how do you do it? Maybe I try that way.

Thx

This is usually what works for me.

I show up to skeeter with the super tool kit before talking to ANYONE in Gecko. Within the SAME dialouge (after we swap toolkit for car part) he asks me to get the 3 step plasma transformer. So if hes not asking you to get the part within the same dialouge, I would suggest making sure you have high enough stats (probably speech and/or INT) I'll poke through a Fo2 guide to see if any stats are required to get the quest.

UPDATE!!: OK I just read this from Per's guide

"Skeeter will ask for this when you bring him the Tool Kit, if at the time you are carrying at least one weapon that he can upgrade"

So looks like you need to have an UPGRADABLE weapon on you when you bring the toolkit. This makes sense because your reward for delivering the transformer to skeeter is 1 free weapon upgrade, the rest he charges for. I'd recommend desert eagle, hunting rifle, or .44 magnum. Let me know if it works!

I carried three upgradable wepons. But he didn't ask me to get the car part. He just offers me to upgrade my weapons without the quest. My speech skill was at 125% because I thought the same thing like you suggested.

I really don't what this is all about.

Thx again to you! Very kind of you looking around to helping me.

You know what, when you've got something in your inventory that Skeeter is interested in, when you talk to him, he immediately wants it=> for example the 3-Step-Plasma regulator or the Super Tool Kit, so what you should try is to steal the plasma regulator from Jeremy (the ghoul who is supposed to give it to you), and then you talk to Skeeter, he may talk about it.

P.S=> I didn't try it, it's just a suggestion.

For this problem, I suggest to try the same thing I explained beyond, except you'll have the super tool kit in your inventory. Skeeter will talk about the car stuff and will propose an exchange

 

[Darek]

About the cryo chambers...

The highest value of melee, sneak or speech will determine which character gets extracted. If two of them are equal, it will be random which one of those you get. If all three are equal you get none. (bug?)

When I tested it before, I just put 300 in all skills with the character editor, but my speech was tagged, so it got the highest value.
Sorry if I mislead anyone, should teach me to test properly before I say anything.

cheers

 

[welsh]

Honestly, I think a lot of the problems players have can usually be found in Per's guide.

That said, the EPA-

Does anyone have a list of the EPA quests?
Any "This is how you do the EPA" tips?

 

[Darek]

@ welsh

I wrote about most things in EPA on page 18 of this thread, not a walkthrough though. Tupaxi wrote a mini-walkthrough on page 14.
