Okay I have done almost all (bar about 3) of the sidequests and about to meet Benny although I have not yet met Mr house.

the problem is: Arcade and he has ALWAYS been a problem in EVERY FNV attempt.

I do Dead Money or any DLC ....I cannot rerecruit him.
I sack him...I cannot recruit him and i have USED both Nexus bug cure mods to no avail.

I guess that i must continue the MQ series until Auld Lang Syne eventuates but then HOW can I slip away and do the DLCs?
Does the world just hold its breath for a month or so?


Is there a point where I can do Auld lang syne and slip away to do the DLCs and return and hope that the nexus post Auld lang
syne cure will help and then finish the MQ?

I add that this SOB has cost me one week in this attempt( I have to repeat Dead money) and I never managed to rerecruit him
in any other attempt at FNV.

I have no compunctions about consoling him to make him rejoin but no idea as to how.

he has ruined every game so far as i am quest obsessive and desperation is setting in : )
