First time out of the vault
First of all. Hi everyone, I'm new here as my postcount so obviously shows.

I saw the opportunity to ask here since I was kind of stuck on this part. I've been through the game (FO1) several times and have had The CH raise before, but in my current runthrough I can't seem to get the "Singing" option. I'm thinking some of my stats might be the problem, so I'll put them up.

ST:6 PE:7 EN:6 CH: 8 IN: 6 AG: 9 lek: 5
Speech is tagged and at 99%
Karma: Rep (General) 39 / Champion

Does anyone know why I can't get the option? Do I need higher IN or something? I'm down by The Glow and thought I should get this while I'm down there. I've tried several times both by reloading and loading further back and meet him again. I checked a Walkthrough by Per Jorner and it said I had to pass a Speech check, but I guess 99% should be enough?

I see that the boards here isn't dead so I hope someone can help me get this clarified sometime soon. Feel free to PM me an answer so I get notified if you want to.

Thanks in advance

first off, the boards arent dead
Second, try around the area between junktown and shady sands. what looks like mountains/hills on the map thats where i always encounter him


Edit: ur looks not high enough to find it so soon it will take you a while
 
Just checked his script and all it requires is a simple speech skill roll. (no specific level required but obviously a higher one means a greater chance) Just keep trying and you will get it or increase your speech stats more to give you a greater chance.
 
Thanks Killap. I think 99% Speech should be enough so I think I'll skip this part for now and try again when I've gotten all my primary stats increased my the BOS doc.

FalloutDude, I think you misread most of my post really. I've found him, but just can't get the right line in the conversation. I also pointed out that there was activity here, so I knew the boards wasn't dead. :D But thanks for quick replies to both of you.

EDIT: What I was thinking is that my Speech and CH is high enough to get a poitive reaction, but my IN might be to low to provide the right line.

I think my guide also mentions you only get this line the very first time you talk to him?
 
Oh, hi Per. Thanks for a good guide to the game. Lots of interesting things in it that I hadn't noticed. I know you'll only be able to ask for directions after the first conversation. I tried what your guide said about cycling through the conversation until it you pass the speechcheck, but it never seemed to appear. I'm guessing 6 IN isn't enough to get the line so I'm going to try it later when I get 7.
 
No, I had checked the script and no special requirement is needed. All it does is do a normal skill roll (and no modifier to make it harder)

I believe that if you keep trying with him you can do it with your current stats (it just may take a 100 trys) Still, I am not stopping you from improving your character before you meet up with him, I am just saying that no stat requirement is there to get that option. 8)
 
Oh well, if you checked the scripting I guess you know way more about it than me. :lol: I waited anyways tho. Got tired of doing that thing over and over and reload and stuff. Thanks for the help tho guys. I guess this thing can be locked down now if no one has anything else relevant to add.
