Problem w/ "Restoring Hope" : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:24 am

Ran into a strange problem in during restoring hope on PS3.

After talking to Doc Richards, I attempt to diagnose the patients. But the cursor says "press X" to diagnose, but upon pushing x, nothing happens. I know these are scaled med. checks and I should be able to diagnose 2/3 of the patients.

I can still tell doc richards that I can't help him and continue the quest.

Anyone experience this problem? Any fixes ?

Found this on the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Restoring_Hope:

Unable to complete quest during the "Help Dr. Richards with his patients" section due to "diagnose patients" bug. After talking to the doctor and getting permission to treat the patients hitting E (or the use button) on the patients does nothing. You can bypass this by telling the doctor you are unqualified to assist. However, you should be able to diagnose patients as the quest notes suggest. It occurs only if you have started a "We Are Legion" quest (verified on xbox360) (only if a current quest state is 10). If you have this bug and do not want to bypass it as described above just reset the "We Are Legion" quest by the command: "resetquest 00125E7E". Alternatively you can kill Dead Sea, thus failing and ending the quest "We Are Legion"; to do this without affecting your status with either group use a stealth boy and enter Dead Sea's cabin. Reverse pitpocket a grenade or similar on him, but do not leave the room. Note that killing him also prevents the last part of "Restoring Hope", where you assualt Nelson, from starting and you only have to speak with the Major. (verified on xbox360).

Thanks, I was being wiki lazy. Had a feeling it was a bug. That is one crazy fix.

I have the strat guide now but the wiki is just so much better for the bug report thing.
