Ok, I got up there... now how do I get down?

Take a look. Every time I try and walk down, I get stuck by that body. Is there a way to get off there or am I stuck? I know in Fallout 2 a good solid hit would knock you back a ways... I tried using a grenade on him, all it did was knock him on top of the robot -- just sitting there, but if I try moving, he grabs the ladder again. Is there a way to get him to jump off instead?

My previous save is quite a while back, so I'd really rather not have to go back to it. =/

Found my shortcut. If this thing works, this trainer will let me teleport my character down. I hate to use a cheat program, but it's better than going back and redoing that stupid broken power armor mission for the 4th time.

(In post edit: Nada, not for the final version of fallout tactics. Any other ideas? )

I get the impression you didn't patch the game. The patch should have gotten rid of this problem. Unfortunately you will have to go back to an earlier save after applying the patch.

Um, I patched up to 1.27 (I believe). I read in the patch notes that the specifically made those bodies non-etherial so they do block paths and stuff in the 1.13 (?) patch.

But I could be wrong, I'm at work not at home.

But did you patch to 1.27 before or after you got stuck? If you patched after it won't affect your saved game so you'll have to go back to an earlier save.

I patched the second I installed the game, so... always been at 1.27.

I deleted that quicksave and went back. Right now I'm just waiting for a bit, since I really don't want to go through that stupid powerarmor mission again.

Hmm I've always thought that mission was one of the more interesting maps in FOT.

yeah, I love the map, I'm just tired of walking through it.

throw a grenade at him after you've already knocked him onto the robot?

Tried that. =/

No biggie. I'm back there now, slowly wading my way through the horde of annoying tin cans.

 

[Elissar]

Shoot him with a rocket launcher? repetedly?

i bet bits would fall off that robot.

 

[KiTA]

And just finished the horde, and the exit grid didn't appear. Only thing I can think of is I didn't use the stomper thing to kill the lifters, I just shot them repeatedly. I got the message that I killed them all and to proceed to the exit grid, but, no exit grid.

I'm starting to very quickly lose my patience here.

 

[KiTA]

AHA.

THe mini-map was hosed, the exit grid was near the Pac-Bot. I killed the Pac-Bot without finding the little girl so I never got the story -- and he died rather quickly. So, I'm a happy camper now.

 

[Deadsy]

i have the exact same problem and i dont know what to do because the robot is in the way of the door and i patched the game as soon as i installed so i dont know what to do

 

[JJ86]

I guess you will have to go back to an earlier save and be awarw of problems like that which may occur. If you are stuck on the roof with no way down, try running to the other side and the robot will follow you. Gun it down away from the ladder.

I want to know where those apologists were that said FOT was the greatest game?

I think there is something wrong with the ladder.. I got stuck on that roof too but I recall i couldnt get my char on the ladder from the roof at all... (Might have been a Super Mutie)

Never went up there again so cant really tell if its actually the ladder....

Nah, that's a bug. Happened to me a couple of times as well, and I haven't got a clue what triggered it: suddenly one of the characters gets stuck on the roof of a building, unable to ever reach the exit grid because he refuses to descend the ladder... Annoying. Sad.
Has never happened with female characters in any of my games, though.
