Karl

First time out of the vault
Sheriff Jo has sent me on a quest to find out what happened to Karl. I've already found him in The Den. walkthroughs suggest that I should ask him about "his story", but that option isn't available... I've got 15 day's left before the Modocs will attack the Slags and I don't really know what to do... I have entered conversation with Karl a dozen times now (even with leaving The Den, going to Modoc, and coming back) but I can't ask him about his story... :roll:
 
It's at the bottom, youre just over-seeing it because you think that the "okay, bye"-reply is at the bottom, I've had a hard time finding it myself too.
 
Affirmative. You'll know that you've asked the right questions when Karl will no longer want to enter dialogue screen (floats only)
 
The best way to do that quest is to talk to Karl ASAP when you are at the Den the 1st time. If I remember right, when you start a dialogue with him the first time he ask some money. Ask him to tell you his story and voi'la. You don't have to go back to the Den anymore when you start the quest at Modoc. Well you can go back and tell Karl that it's okay to return to Modoc because the people of Modoc no longer think that he is crazy.
 
If I remeber correctly (long time since I played fallout 2) there is no way to complete that quest, since Karl never returns to modoc.
 
You can make Karl leave the den, but to my knowledge, he never actually appears in Modoc. Also, try examining the impaled corpses in ghost farm. Your character will notice that they are simply dummies smeared in brahmin innards, and i think you can use this information to calm down the mayor.
 
karl wants $1000, if you give it to him, he'll pass out, then you can just steal it back from his body on the floor. If you get caught stealing his corpse nothing happens, but when he wakes up, he'll enter combat mode and run away. I killed him so i couldnt finish that quest --> i ended up having to fight the slags and the ending was horrific... just shows how killing one little person can affect so much =S

For the record, this has absolutely no relevance to the Ghost Farm quest itself.

You don't actually have to give Karl any money, and you best talk to him even before visiting Modoc.
 
Karl does return to modoc, I've seen him..but he just walks to the exit grid in the first area and then you don't see him any more...
 
Can't talk to Karl to go back to Modoc!!!

Oh my god this is frustrating.

I arrived in the town of Modoc, and after delivering message from the Underground people to Jo, I now have to find whereabouts of Karl.

I remembered that I saw a drunk named Karl in Den, so I went back to Den and tried to talk to him.

The problem is, all I can do with him is give him $100, or ask about GECK. I can also ask him about his garden and he says that back where he is from , they call them farms. But that's it. There was no choice of dialogue that brings Karl to talk about where he is from or whatever. I tried giving him the monet a couple times but it didn't seem to work.

So I went back to Modoc, and talked to Jo again, and I couldn't tell him that Karl was in Den even though I knew he was. What am I supposed to do?
 
You must ask Karl to give you 'his story' - there will be such an option when you first meet him. You need not even speak with Jo before that!

Karl never really 'goes back' to Modoc in fact.
 
Oh my god!!

What am I supposed to do then?

I mean, there is no choice of dialogue of asking him about his story, so I guess I must have heard it already, when I wasn't on the quest.

But then again, if I heard the story already, why can't I tell Jo where Karl is?

This is very frustrating.
What is the reward of this quest? If the reward is not too major, I may just attack the undergrounders with Jo.
 
Explore all the options. Don't give Karl money nor alcohol, or he might pass out. You'll know you're ready to go back to Modoc when Karl won't want to talk to you again.
 
Modoc quest with karl :/

Well..yeah. I had 31 days to save Karl. Its all good its all good. Well...except for the fact that now I have 13 days...and....I cant finish the quest since it takes about 10-ish to get to the den. What should I do...Im sure this isnt enogh to restart the game or anything, but what exactly should I do right now..
 
Search this forum for "Karl" next time, there are already threads about that.

Merged.
 
Oops, sorry. Well anyway...With 13 days is it even possible to finish the quest? Should I just screw it and slaughter all the slags? Really I dont want to do that...because...you get combat armor and 3500+ xp rewards for doing the quests involved with him. And...Yeah...what can I do?

Not unless you have the car or had already talked to Karl beforehand.

Ask your conscience :P

I don't believe you get a Combat Armor... You can get a Combat Jacket, and an Assault Rifle, which you probably won't really care for at this stage.
 
Well then I'm screwed. Damn..that was alot of xp. :(

Anyway...since theres no way of finishing the quest now I guess It's better to kill the slags for more loot than to just leave and get no loot.
And about the car...I have the latest patch, and 2000, but how the hell do I get it?? I got the thing from the broken down car in klamath, but he wont let me buy it!

You need a part from Gecko. That is the main component for the car, the one from Klamath just makes it more fuel efficient.
