Modoc turned hostile :(

[Igniseus]

I've been playing through Fallout 2 again, and I just go into Modoc and decided to open that door to the fenced in building. Upon entering and not being attacked by the dogs I thought "Hmm I could put my TNT to blow away these rocks", so I made sure to save it first and then placed it down.....kaboom.....place turns hostile, so I load up the save game from before but as soon as it loads the whole town turns hostile on me, the dogs, and even the brohmin.

I'm an idiot and have only been using 1 save slot......but is there any other solution to this? I don't want to be evil and wipe out the town, as well as losing all the quest XP and rewards.

Thanks

It's odd that they'd be consistently hostile if you didn't do anything before saving. You could try loading and then hitting A for combat mode, running away from everyone (to the exit grid if possible). Use up all but 1 AP running, end combat, then press A again.

It's possible I clicked on the rubble to use/open it (which obviously did nothing), but that's it.

I'll give what you said a try, thanks! Only problem is, the door shut behind me, and they turn hostile within 2 seconds of loading.

Holding down the 'a' key while it's loading should get you into combat before anything else can happen.

Yes!!!!! Thanks to both of you!!!!!!!!!!

I held down A while it loaded, ran out the door, ended combat, quickly hit A, ran as far as I could (still far from exit grid) with my followers on 2nd set of AP's and managed to get far enough from the dogs that they didn't turn hostile on me.

I am so happy that I do not have to restart again (I've completed the game once, but have tried to beat again over the last few years, a few times I didn't have time, reformatted and lost save or sometimes corrupted save file through one means or other (usually mods)).

Thanks again!
