Heads up to anyone with the latest patch, there's a major bug in the quest "I put a spell on you" when you have to investigate the break ins, in the tower. The guy who your suppose to catch never shows up and whenever you go to exit the big metal doors, the captain never shows up causing the game to freeze, the only way to get out is by quick traveling out and never going back to camp mccaran, which prevents you from getting "This machine" and continuing the NCR quests.


Just thought I warn you all just in case.

This is scaremongering

Never encountered such a bug, and the reason the guy doesn't come to the Tower is because he probablly spots you if you are "waiting" and goes back inside.
It also happens around 1AM rather than 12AM so you may be going there early and then he spots you leaving the toer, which is why he doesn't show up.
You may have also taken the path that basically tells the intruder you're looking for him, which also stops him from going to the tower.

No he doesn't appear at all- wait what? I had made a mistake since I went there around 4am why did it not tell me " spy on him at 1am not after?" XD I feel stupid now

and the quest doesn't need for me to complete it to get the gun I was thinking of the first time I did it.

It's cool, I used to think it was 12AM and I'd walk around looking for him only for him to tell me to leave because I was spotted out of hours

Let me know if he appears for you after 1AM in the tower
