I want to close the gate at Little Lamplight after I 'rescued" some children from "bad parents" at a cerain location (will return and lay mines and really mess up these folks but don't want the kids hurt).

My concern is (using Sharing and Caring ) after I drop the kids off in Little Lamplight, they will later leave, make their way back and get hit by one of my unexploded mines.

Hence I wish to close the Little Lamplight main gate and keep the children from leaving. However, when i select E to close gate, it does not close. Is this supposed to occur?

Just wipe out the whole "bad parent" village. Good for Karma and you get a lot of loot to boot.

If were talking about the same thing.

Bad parent village?

This is the spoiler section, so feel free to talk openly. I don't think you can close the gate. Once it's open, it's open. Kinda like Cloud Ruler Temple.... hello?? There's an invasion in progress, close the fricken door!
Kids don't die in Fallout games. But I do not know if they can be turned hostile if they hit one of your mines. I would assume that they do not, as your companions can walk through any mines you set up. But I'm extrapolating here....

Thank you for the replies, I thought it might have been a mod "sticking the gate or something

I was hoping the kids would stay put and get a better life at the LAMP , maybe they will if I just tell them to "wait" and never dismiss them in SCC (though I think at some time they WILL get released by SCC whether I initiate it or not no?)

In any case those mines are going down.

Theyre going DOWN.....!

Paradise falls.

There is one there TOO (I did not reach it yet)? There is another, but did not want to give it away as it probably goes unoticed when passing through.

Andale?

Spill it!!! You got us all in suspense. I have not seen any Little Lamplight children outside of Little Lamplight anywhere but Big Town (who are exiles) and Paradise Falls.

Like stated before, this is the spoilers board for people who have beaten the game or dont mind the hints or obvious statements that lay out the game.

OK Ok

DO NOT READ IF YOU WISH TO DISCOVER ON OWN


Near fort Independence there is Andale. "The BEST place to live, BETTER than Rockville"

To find it travel out of the fenced gate of Fort Independence and follow the road until you reach a trailer something on a concrete slab, there is a cardbard box mat bed inside so once you see that you should see the rocket ship landmark where Andale is at.

Locate the at rocket ship at the top of the hill and travel there. Start talking to the people.



MORE than you should know:

The children there, unlike Paradise Falls

(STOP if you have not found the FALLS yet)



(I just found it this weekend quite by accident traveling to the PITT and I got through Broken Steel already)


The children of Andale, unlike those at Paradise Falls, will not run to Little Lamplight on their own, presumably, their packages are set for Andale only(thus my interest of locking them in via "close gate "at the Lamp.)


HMMmm...upon reading THIS, I found there is another way to save the kids...
