does anyone know the command in fallout nv to advance quest stages? she wont talk to elder mcdonalds and i tried setstage "00145f85" to 200 just to clear it out but apparently that command doesnt work in fallout NV. im currently up to the point where i have the plant data and the pusle gun and the quest is telling me to take them and veronica to talk to the leader but they just stand there and stare at eachother. i found some very complicated fixes on fallout wiki but they involve entering 20 different console commands. im hoping there is a simpler solution. dammit this game just pisses me off to know end sometimes.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_console_commands Just scroll down a bit to quest.

Edit: Actually, that might not help you. Idk... but I tried.

i just used the completequest command. [censored] this game. seriously this is just pathetic. its the umpteenth patch and this is a new game.

It's a game based on an engien that's almost 10 years old...

being old has nothing to do with it. the game is buggy as hell. half life and any number of older games dont have nearly as many bugs if any.

You may just have to use an earlier save from before they have their conversation.

Its odd that when some people put in setstage commands they don't work. You put it in as

setstage 145f85 200

right?

setstage vms49 200

could work too.

You could also try reseting the quest and since you have the pulse gun it might trigger that far into it again automatically (or that just when you get Euclid's C-Finder) so you can try that scene with them again.
