It's all gone crazy at the old Regulator farmstead

Post » Mon Nov 08, 2010 2:45 pm

About the third time I went back to claim my reward I encountered a sentry bot outside and rather than engage with it I went inside. It followed me in and during the brief fight (those regulators are a bit panicky in fight for law enforcers IMO,) Sonra Cruz runs out and doesn't come back. She's nowhere to found outside and hasn't returned since. Now whenever I go back there's some opponent inside, raiders, bots and on the last occassion, a freaking death claw.

Tried resurrecting the Cruz with the console but get a script error everytime.

It's very annoying.

And yet amusing, an indoor fight with a DC is pretty awesome.

Yup. Always clear the area before going in. Check near that elevated highway, she hides under that thang for me.

Thanks for the replies. She finally reappeared, ran off again as there were more enemies about then came back to stand on the slope overlooking the field in front of the farmhouse. I was able to hand in my fingers and have normal dialogue with her as if nothing had happened. Here's a pic of a DC in house:

And it just gets crazier. I turn up and there's the usual cluster fight going on, raiders fighting rad-scorpions, my animal friend 2 causing the Brahmins to join in when one of the raiders decides to attack me and to add to the fun a death claw joins in. I dispatch the survivors, go inside and there a security bot rolling about so I take it out with a couple of shots from the tesla canon.

Unfortunately a regulator chose that moment to walk down the stairs and dies in the blast, I search her and find she's got a bounty note for me on her and there's a 1000 cap reward for "ridding the wasteland of this evil" (or something). Me! I'm the nicest guy in the whole place apart from Uncle Leo.

Happily it doesn't seem to effect my relationship with the rest of them and Cruz, who's still cowering on the hillside, still takes my fingers (no, not like that).

Everytime I go there it all goes to hell, with giant radscropions. Sonra disappeared a few weeks ago, I've been saving up fingers for her eventual return. :(

There's a spawn point close by apparently, a mod to remove it would be handy but I don't think there is one.

Another three ring circus outside the farmhouse today and inside a rad-scorpion that killed the last of the regulators still there. Cruz is hopefully still alive but she's nowhere to found at the moment.

Sonoza Cruz is weird.

The last time I was good, on my first ever playhrough, she randomly started fleeing from nothing and ran out.

After that she was under a overhanging rock or not there or wandering round.

The Regulaters ran away from me then would talk to me like nothing was wrong.

There was always something attacking outside and killling the Brahmin.

Nearly always a sentry bot and some others. Or just a sentry bot.

I don't know what sentry bots have against the Regulaters. :S

Maybe they are sent by enemies or they are lured by something the house is on top of.

It's bonkers isn't it? According to the wiki, it's going inside while there's a fight going on that causes something to follow you in, I don't know if it happens otherwise and I've found that if I walk there rather than fast travelling everything is peaceful. In fact the outside returns to normal, three brahmin peacefully grazing and no sign of corpses. Inside is stlll a mess but there's no fighting going on.

Next playthrough, if there is one, I'll try never fast travelling to the location.
