So Big Town is deserted. When I try and resurrect NPCs it doesn't work. Red just dies immediately after I close the console and Timebomb appears and then when I close the console disappears. What is going on, how do I get back Big Town? (I finished the mission there BTW).

Thanks

I Don't believe they can be resurrected. Same thing happened to me when I tried it. Not much on the wiki bout it either.

I noted in the other thread that if a particular quest stage is complete (only goes complete if you refuse to help them after rescuing the two prisoners) then a script will automatically kill Red and disable Timebomb. I don't see anything that prevents the rest of them from being resurrected, though.

Said script is what's causing the OP's issue. Since it checks to see if either of them are alive upon being triggered, the act of resurrecting either of them causes the check to occur again and the relevant kill action to be reapplied.

If this is, indeed, the case for the OP, then the only way to keep them alive would be to disable the script and that's probably not a good idea unless you know exactly what you are doing.

The place is a deathtrap anyway. And there's nothing in Big Town that you can't get better somewhere else.

It svcks to be a Little Lamplighter. You live on pondscum until you're 16, then you get thrown out and have to go to Big Town, where slavers capture you or Super Mutants eat you. No wonder some of the little twerps are so crabby.

One of them went to Paradise Falls instead :violin:
