ok, so I got the gunderson kid and we are hiding while his speech is going on. the problem is that he starts to walk away while talking and right out the front door! now I can't confront him cause he left and i get attacked by everyone and the door is locked and i cant leave! why is he walking out in the middle of his speech, what do i do! thanks!

I stayed crouched and hidden behind the bar until that right moment came. It worked for me but did take several attempts.




B)

Ive got the same problem, i waited he walks out of the room still talking then I wait like five minutes I stand up and every one goes red, so I chased him up the elevator he was still giving his speech, naturally everybody turned on me.
So just when is the right time or has anyone else experienced this?

Just found:

* If Mortimer begins to walk away in the middle of his speech, only standing in front of him and getting wailed on until he is done will prevent failing the quest. Armour with a good damage threshold is recommended as the constant barrage of dress canes reduces health and cripples limbs quite quickly.

* You may enter the Dining Room with Ted (Mortimer will be in the middle of speech), leave the Room right away, enter the Room again (no speech heard) and start talking to Mortimer immediately.

* It is recommended to leave ED-E somewhere safe when releasing Ted due to a bug causing the White Glove Society members attacking your companions instead of Mortimer if you chose the Attack path after his speech.

* If you experience a lot of crashes on the PC version within the Ultra-Luxe, try sending all of your companions back to the Lucky 38.

I found that the second suggestion works the best.
