Water chip quest 2X?

A

Aridhol

First time out of the vault
Just beat fallout 1 for the first time, great ending!! i'd played it many times before but never finished. Now onto my problem/bug.

I got the water chip from the necropolis and returned it to vault 13 and got the second quest to end the mutant threat but i went back to the hub and talked to the water merchant lady and accidentally paid $2000
to get water deliveries started and it restarted the water chip quest!!! I went and talked to the overseer and he wants the chip again, it's as if i never finished it the first time, Also the chip is not back in the necropolis so it's impossible to do twice. I'm not sure if this is a bug or what but I have the save game if anyone is curios and wants to check it out. I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this before?

PS my game was patched to 1.1


GREAT GAME! going to finish fallout 2 next!
 
Well i've never encounterd this before in the game, nor have i ever heard of this bug.

Sorry if this post wasn't much use to the situation....
 
There are handful of these chips in Vault City, so if you can pop in Fallout 2 for a second, that could solve your problem :)

this bug never occured to me, could you load a saved game?
 
Well, there's the chance that the end mutant threat quest is on simultaneously, so that you could actually finish that quest and ignore the coming back of the waterchip. Depends if the time limit came back on.

If not; use Fallout Inventory Editor to give yourself the water chip. Should work.

I agree. Iinm, you can finish the game without ever getting the water chip if you do the two other major quests.

I'm not one for cheating but in this case, i think it's ligitimate.
 
I am stuck in that same problem.... I got like 5 days to get the water chip back. I have not played Fo1 trough yet and I would not like to play it again so how can I solve this problem?

Fallout Inventory Editor?
 
So the quest does restart the time. You should be able to beat up the master and the base in about 100 days or less.
I mean if you're low level and havebn't yet joined tha Brotherhood.
If you're 10 or more - you just wander around the base and pick off mutant patrols. They should be able to hurt you ONLY with a critical which usually kills you.
However without power armor it's much more difficult.
