Forum:Tandi not showing up

In my earlier days of playing Fallout I was too wimpy to confront the Khans and I didn't want to do the 'kill the radscorpions' quest, so I didn't. After doing some other quests and exploring, I don't get killed as easily. So I went back to shady sands and caved in the radscorpion den, and then made the healing antidote and cured Jarvis. Now when I return to shady sands, I can't find any dialogue options where Aradesh says Tandi was captured. I went over to the Khan base anyway and she wasn't there. Should I just forget about it? I had never killed any of the Khans beforehand though, so that's not what caused it. I think I went there and then left right away because I didn't want to die. I think I might have caused this by doing other later quests first and ignoring these early ones. I mean, I've been to all the other locations except for one, so maybe I broke that earlier quest? 04:29, July 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is very possible that doing some things farther in-game somehow caused a break in the Tandi quest. You never know with Fallout's engine; there's jsut too many bugs to count.
 * However, this could simply be a game-time related issue; generally you have to pass a week or two in game-time (after completing Stop the Radscorpions) before this quest registers, thats' how it was scripted to be. So, if you haven't move around the worldmap or wait for a little while, then re-enter Shady sands. Both Seth and Aradesh will talk to you about her going missing if you initiate dialogue, so you can talk to either to make sure. Good luck :P Ghouly89 (Talk) 00:00, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'll try coming back (even) later, then :P Guess they're a bit slow over in Shady Sands eh... 07:20, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hiya, Spork. I found that the quest triggers in the time it takes for a trip from SS to V15 and back (plus rat killing time), of course with the correct quest triggers in place. The first time I played (and finished), I actually got JT completed, and most of The Hub/Audytum/BOS completed when I decided to visit SS again. I thought it was a late level quest, becuase I wasn't there in so long. So, just take a hike for a while, and if it doesn't work, look back in some saves. If it is not salvable, then wipe out the Kahns to get a good ending for SS. It may see Tandi as dead, but if the Radscorpions and Kahns are dead, and Aredesh, Seth, etcetcetc are alive, then you'll get the good but not great ending. Big McLargeHuge 08:53, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
