Seems the Beret didn't get added to my inventory. I tried adding a First Recon Beret, then walking out there with the slaver, put the hat on and he won't fire. It's about 12:30am, so the time is right and victim is right (though not sure it matters on the victim). As long as the First Recon Beret is correct it should work, according to past experience and all accounts from wiki to walkthroughs. Even looked at the quest stages in GECK, oddly it's one of the shortest list for so many possibilities with only 4 stages. Wiki shows the Quest Id as 151403, with stages 10, 20, 30, 40 and even if I set the quest to 0 it still doesn't give me the beret.
Anyone know if there's a way to Drop/Delete a quest then try it again in FNV or is this a problem with the GB engine? Secondly is First Recon Beret correct or is it a special hat, not in the normal inventory?
Thanks for any tips, links or help.
