Forum:Main storyline help

ok so, after i finally got to rivet city,(to find doctor li) i stopped with the main quest for a little. After exploring the wasteland i then found little lamplight, i got into it through the quest where you have to save thoes two kids from paradise falls. i heard about vault 87 being in little lamplight so i ventured in through little lamplight.

A couple of passageways and super mutants later, i realized i was in vault 87. Looking it up, the door to the vault is supposed to be locked. for me however, it was already unlocked. so, i decided it would be fine if i saved hawkes. i immediatley got an update for the G.E.C.K quest. Not 100% what to do, i followed Hawkes and retrieved the G.E.C.K. i still ddnt know where the original G.E.C.K quest came from. so it was a suprise for me when i was leaving that the enclave attacked me. after i killed many enclave soldiers and reached the presidents room, i refused to follow through with his plan and convinced him to destroy himself. i assume when i "activated" the poison that i threw it away cuz its not in my inventory and theres no quest for it.

so, and after i talked to the president and escaped, hawkes wouldnt join me cuz i have really really bad karma. and since i never found and went into the "citidel" (brotherhood of steel) before, they wont let me in, even though when i first approached the "paladin" guarding it, he told me to go in quickly cuz there was a meeting. there was also another quest that told me to go to the jefferson monument and find my dad's purity project. so i went there, and i had gone there once before on the way to rivet city, but i remember using a stealth boy to avoid the many mutants around, and now i went back. no mutants outside. and in the "gift shop" there were only two enclave in telsa armor. i killed them assuming it was all part of that quest, and then i went to vault 112 to find my dad. did tranquility lane. went back to rivet city, and then went with my dad and dr li to jeffer mumorial and he told me clear it of "mutated" things inside. but ive done a thorough search of the place, and all thats there is the turret i deactivated, and the two dead telsa enclave bodies. whenever i go back up i can only say to my dad that its not clear yet.

also, coloneul autumn is in the rotunda alone, so maybe that part of the story jumped aheaad but i havent gottten up tto it. either way, there are absolutley no super mutants to kill, anyone know what to do?

i really need help for this, theres also another door when you go down to the basement to the left that i cant open cuz it doesnt have power, does that have something to do with it? or did me finding the G.E.C.K screw everything up i would prefer to not have to restart cuz i like my guy and ive gotten pretty far with him and i don want to have to do every thing over again

Sorry to say mate, but there is no alternative you have to restart. Or at least load a save before vault 87.

May be console fixes if you're on PC. Sheepbiter 11:19, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
