Logan won't talk to me

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 7:16 pm

Hey guys. The other day i was exploring Camp Searchlight, and found a guy named Logan hiding in a basemant with a couple of fellow mercenaries, however i can't interact with him...
I press X and all he says is something like "I heard Primm has a new Sheriff, that should keep the powder gangers away. :brokencomputer:

I know he has the keys for the police and fire station, so i wanted to get them! I tried pickpocketing him but the keys are nowhere to be found.
I wouldn't be able to get his quest though, as i killed Boxcars in Nipton.

God, this game is so awesome, too bad it's full of bugs! :cryvaultboy:

Any ideas?

Pretty dumb solution but did you try to kill him? How about killing the new sheriff?

I left Boxcars alive, and the waypoint marker takes me to him to discuss the quest. However, I don't get any dialogue options to discuss it. I'm starting to wish I'd killed him like you did - I'd be in the same situation, but I'd feel a little better about it!

Edit: Actually, you won't know which quest I'm talking about if you can't interact with the Mercs... Stupid bugs get everywhere!

Have you tried to hack the terminal and then see if that gets him to talk to you?

If not you can just kill him (and the other two guys) after that you will be able to lot 2 keys: one for the Police station and another for the Fire station.


If you are able to talk to him don't leave until you get the message "WHEEL OF FORTUNE" quest, because otherwise Boxcar won't have the dialog option for the next step.


This quest is a pain in the rear, you're better off just killing Logan. But you are welcome to try it.

Well, i tried killing him (without saving, just to see what happened) and nope, it's rather strange but the keys were not in his inventory either. This is probably another bug.

I did hack the terminal, besides, I did that before i even thought of talking to him. Unfortunately it had no effect at all! :(

Then the next option would be to reload a previuos save. I hope that you've been carefull enough to manually make constant saves if not this is a good time to start because this game has a lot of those glitches, meaning this won't be the only messed up quest.

Good luck.

I save manually constantly as i'm aware of the game's unstable nature (just to be sure I also back them up to a pen drive), but i overwrite the files, so i don't have a save that far back in the story.. :(

It's not such a big deal though, here's hoping they eventually fix this!
Maybe i'll do things differently on a 2nd playthrough. (If i manage to finish this one! lol)

Thanks for the help.
