Talk:Motor-Runner's helmet

Can't Drop
Before even talking to Hsu, I killed Motor-Runner and got his helmet. I can't drop it and I was wondering if there's any way I can get rid of it? Nukey (talk) 21:42, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Nice to know were stuck with all the quest essential nonsense carried over from oblivion.


 * That's an interesting remark, and yes, the quest essential item thing is quite an immersion-breaker - it just doesn't make any damn in-world sense at all. But the problem is, if you were permitted to drop quest items or place them in containers, then 8 hours later when you decide you're done with that quest item gun (or whatever quest item you had some reason to keep in your inventory, just an example) and you want to just finish up the quest and get the XP, all of a sudden you're asking which box did I put that gun in?  Or you dropped it and it fell through the ground and disappeared forever.  And worst case, your absentmindedness caused you to lose an item you needed for the MQ.  Congratulations, you just misplaced your way out of completing the game.  So the idea of quest essential items is not at all nonsense.  It's basically a necessary evil.


 * Or if you mean "quest essential nonsense" being glitches related to quest essential items not being unset essential, or quest items being useful items not taken away when the game intends for you to lose all items, so you keep them possibly breaking the mission... as for that kind of thing, I just have these words from a wise man: "If it is Gamebryo, it is glitchy." 74.46.8.70 04:55, April 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * while the inventory list shows it weighing 1 pound, when i use the console to remove the item, my total carried weight does not change.


 * i was at 75 pounds and adding 20 more .308 bullets added 1 pound to my weight. i removed it with the console and i was still at 75 pounds, with adding 20 shells adding 1 pound to my weight.


 * it would appear this 1 pound is not really factored in.


 * Seems Obsidian actually fixed the stats. It's now correctly shown as weighing nothing.--Darth Oblivion 06:03, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

...always?
It says in the article that the helmet sometimes becomes a bugged quest item. Does this mean there's some chance that it will properly deactivate upon completion of the quest? Or will it in fact always bug? I would reload saves and attempt this many times if there's a chance of it, cause I DON'T want this stupid POS in my inventory the rest of the game. --Jackarunda 14:27, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've played through the game twice, and it's become stuck in my inventory both times. "Always" is a strong word, but it seems to apply in my experience.Minor Edits 02:04, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * In half a dozen run-throughs, I've never succeeded in removing it. But be careful about ditching it -- when I got to Dead Money, I found it works there, and the extra +1 perception is a help in talking to Christine. Wunengzi 04:03, February 27, 2011 (UTC)
