Ok, I'm new to the forum but not new to Fallout series.

Here's my problem:

Playing on X360, already at level 50 and finishing Old World Blues. I need to talk or kill Dr. Mobius and then retrieve my brain. I chose to not kill Dr. Mobius and get my brain back, but when I'm talking to my brain I got stuck on an infinite loop with him saying to me about HELIOS One and Jason Bright (that man wich insisted he's a Ghoul). Here's a video of the glitch:

Searching on the internet and looking on "The Vault", I found 2 things:

1 - the bug really exists and is "documented".

"When talking to your brain after defeating Mobius, you get stuck in an infinite loop of a conversation concerning pleasant memories about Helios One and Jason Bright (Quite the ironic bug considering the conversation you just had with Mobius!)." (h t t p : / / f a l l o u t . w i k i a . c o m / w i k i / O l d _ W o r l d _ B l u e s _ ( a d d - o n ) # B u g s )



2 - I'm not going to leave Big MT. :-\

"This is an endless speech loop that will occur when ever you choose the "compromise" option if you completed That Lucky Old Sun and Come Fly With Me. The only way to fix it is to load a different save and avoid that option when you speak to your brain."


Well, here's my problem: I already finished those quests about 100 / 120 hours ago. I can't restart my game because of one stupid glich, my save now have 240 hours. :-\

So, what can I do to solve this issue? Kill myself is not an option.

Thanks a lot!

PS: Bethesda, please, release a new TU fixing a lot of bugs.

Don't you have an autosave... ? ... otherwise .. what the wiki told you is basically true and you're screwed.. (if you didn't alter the autosave settings you should have an autosave entering Mobius lair)

Rule nr1. with any open world/ bethesda/ rpg game.. Use multiple saves.. especially if you invested so much time in one character

I have a lot of saves, I mean, A LOT, maybe 150 or 160, I have to overwrite some because of 100 save limit bethesda put on FNV. The problem is, I want to get out of Big MT and because of this glitch, I may never get out. Of course I have a save before I've started OWB, but I'll lose 10, maybe 15 hours. I really don't want it.

And OWB is so great that I don't want to lose all I've won there.

Anyway, thanks for the reply.

No... you should have an autosave entering Mobius final room... if you don't than you, in all probability, have altered the autosave settings.
Any time you enter a new cell.. the game should autosave.. (check autosave)
In other words .. you would lose a max of 10 minutes.. , if not.. well I feel for you, but even inside DLC multiple saves are always a wise decission.

Yes, I understood that, but if I can't talk to my brain I will not be able to leave Big MT, wich means my save is fcked.

Oh if that is the problem... choose the other options.. Only the pleasant memories option will trigger the loop. The other options are safe..

Yeah, thanks. I got my brain back being more... agressive with him on the options. It worked.

Glad it worked!
