Forum:Replicated Man: Unable to unlock android dialogue options (Pinkerton, Harkness)

Hello.

I've been running around like a crazy woman trying to finish the Replicated Man quest but I'm afraid I've run into a bug. However, searching the web hasn't shown anyone to have experienced the same thing.

The details:

I ran into the woman who gave me the android part, and when I wound up in Rivet City to find Dr. Li, the first person I saw was Zimmer, with a bodyguard of some sort. I spoke with him, gave him the part, told him the android was dead. Did everything I could in Rivet City and the woman found me again, saying to speak with Pinkerton. I found him, but he wouldn't say much, and wouldn't cough up his key. Harkness also remains mum.

I went back to finally pick up the Moira Survival Guide quest again (I'd put it off), moving through until she sent me back to Rivet City. Went back, asked around and was sent back to Pinkerton. This time, he had dialogue to tell me all about it and gave me some meeting notes. But still, no key. Again, Harkness remains mum.

I'm just at a loss. By giving Zimmer the part so early, did I just bork the entire quest?

EDIT: I'm playing the PC version.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Melissa

Check in the Quests section of your Pip-Boy the quest "The Replicated Man". If it appears in darker green then it's finished, meaning that everything related to obtaining new information or items from that quest is no longer possible. You should'nt have given Zimmer the android component... Xavali7


 * No idea what key you're looking for, there's no key related to this quest. Still, if you just want Harkness to cough up the plasma rifle you can try resetting the quest. Instructions here. Perj 13:50, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * you have 3 options, one is very beneficial, you get quest, you do NOT give him the part, you talk to Pinkerton after u have all 4 holotapes, he tells you how to wake up harkness, you wake him up, you say what are u gonna do now, ask if you could kill the bad guy, hell give u his rifle to do it with, talk to the bad guy, tell him who harkness is, u get the perk, then, proceed to shoot him till he dies, tada u did the good thing, and got both perks!but as for you..your kinda done with quest cause u finished it.Toolazytomakeaaccount 18:24, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
