ARCHIMEDES-II Problems..

Post » Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:04 am

Hello! This is my first post on these forums, and I joined specifically for the knowledge and experience of fellow Fallout New Vegas vets like myself! I hope I can get a lot out of these forums!

But my problem is this: I've completed the quest "That Lucky Old Sun" and diverted power to the regional grid, but not overloading the power ( I believe that's the fifth option ). During Veronica's quest "I Could Make You Care", I had the dialog option of "The Rangerfinder may be a problem. I rearmed HELIOS-I and its not powering a weapon.". This made me curious to go get the Rangefinder and head to HELIOS-I. ( The quest even says "Find a way to enable the rangefinder at HELIOS-I" )

The computer allows me to turn on the system defenses for ARCHIMEDES-I and it kills all the NCR troopers around the tower ( except for one guard dog that even survives the ARCHIMEDES-II laser! ) and fires down the big laser, which is supposed to be ARCHIMEDES-II. The console will NOT activate and the laser goes off once all the NCR troopers are dead. But afterwards, all I get is NCR infamy -- no ARCHIMEDES-II charges after waiting 24+ hours, no quest-objective completed, absolutely nothing. Even Veronica doesn't even say anything.

Did I bug the quest by diverting power to the regional grid? I hope not, I planned on returning and getting it one way or another! Glorified artillery isn't something I really want to give up. Any help would be greatly appreciated! : )
