Karl in Modoc quest.

[Per]

I... hate to necrobump... but the forum rules don't mention it, and say that you shouldn't make a new thread, as illustrated by Zill above me.

The basic rule is that you shouldn't bump threads without good reason, such as new content. This one is fine.

My problem:

After Karl tells the story, he starts crying and refuses to talk to me. I, too, have tried multiple methods, but regardless of what I do, he seems to cry perennially. Can someone give me a hint?

It just means you need to have something new to tell him. You're not missing anything.

Specifically, what "new info" do you think I'd need to tell him? I've been to Modoc already, and the Ghost Farm.

Looking at my guide I see there's a script oddity with Jo in Modoc:

If you don't give Jo the requested information right away, you must tell him about Karl before you tell him about the bodies, or you won't be able to tell Karl to return to Modoc.

Do you think that might be it?

Except I did give it to him "right away"... I think. What is the "requested information"?

Also, hope you know I'm not upset. The help so far is good.

That the bodies at the farm are fake and that Karl is alive. If you know both of these things and tell him in the same dialogue that you give him the Slag message, all is fine. Otherwise when you talk to him again, there will be two dialogue paths depending on which thing you mention first. If you pick the bodies option first and then go on to tell him about Karl, the flag to send him home will not be set. (As a side note I can't find this in the fixlog for killap's patch.)
