Ratting out Crimson Caravan

Post » Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:07 pm

I'm doing Cass's quest and have letters from both the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan talking about their deal. My character mentioned that the best way is to tell the NCR (which is what I wanna do) but right now the only option it is giving me is to kill Alice McCaffery (I already had taken out the Van Graffs earlier). Is there someone I can talk to who'll let me turn in the evidence?

If you hadn't killed the VanGraffs (which I applaud you for) you could go to Jackson at the Mojave Outpost, but I think you broke the quest.

Awww, I wasted em when I brought Cass to them. :(


On a side note, it won't let me search Jean-Baptiste's corpse even though I could search everyone else. This a bug or part of something else down the line?

You can probably still use the notes; just take them to Ranger Jackson at the Mojave Outpost. In my tests, you could kill one of the targets and still finish the quest via the "peaceful" option. Hey, leaving one out of two of the people who tried to kill you alive counts as peaceful, right? Once you kill McLafferty, though, the quest is over.

As for Jean-Baptiste not being searchable, I don't know. I could search him, but you're not the only person who's reported the same thing. Have you tried moving his body to another location? Maybe he's just blocked by some debris or something.

I think i know what causes him to be unsearchable/unlootable. If you talk to him while on the relevant quest stage, with Cass with you. It's a script to prevent you from talking to him again before he kills Cass, but it doesn't shut off when he dies.

^ Well #$%^ I've just bugged this quest line all to hell then. Still, going ninja on McCaffery if need be won't be too bad a thing.

Not being able to search Jean Babtiste is a known bug.

Unfortunately if you bring Cassidy to the Van Graffs, the only solution open to you now is to go ahead and kill McLafferty.

Like all companion quests - you get a little something in return for completing it either way. (peaceful or violent)

If you have the evidence, take it to Jackson. Worst case, he won't take it. Best case, he takes it.
