Forum:Outcasts are hostile for some reason

Outcasts have become hostile for some reason, even though I've not encountered them since finding their fort early on in my game. I've used all the console commands suggested by the Outcast article and they don't appear to make a difference. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming this could have an impact on the DLC, which I have not yet gotten.

 * Although I can't help you with the hostility, I can tell you that the only DLC the Outcasts affect is Operation: Anchorage. And the Outcasts won't turn hostile if you wipe out Independance, unless you try to mention that you were the one who killed them. Nitty 22:07, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I will not hesitate to kill them from this point onward, should our paths cross.

 * If you plan on getting Broken Steel, Outcast heavies will start spawning. They're pretty hard to kill (They beat Deathclaws constantly!), and they have more high-tech weapons than any faction save the Enclave. You'll be hard-pressed to do well with them tailing you!

 * Bring it on! I say.  I've hit the level cap and have run out of challenge. Chintzmas 22:24, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Outcasts turned hostile on me for no apparent reason towards the end of the orginal game. So I ended up wiping them out. Since then I've played through Broken Steel and have never seen them again... Gunner Bill 10:48, September 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * It must have something to do with your increase in popularity with the BoS throughout the main storyline then, because it was the same with me, seemingly only happened after I got close to the end. That would make sense as this is the same Bethesda that made Morrowind, which worked the same way (gaining popularity with one faction causes you to lose popularity with its rival(s)).  Of course, I really haven't done any research here, just a guess. Chintzmas 13:29, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

What I have noticed is that they have fingers after getting the lawbringer perk. While removing the perk didn't make them unhostile, using removefromallfactions on myself did. But that makes your own landmines trigger on you, probably because they are still in your faction, while you are not. Not sure how to fix that, besides the perk that dosn't trigger mines. So i think that belonging to the lawbringer faction can make them hostile.


 * I had lawbringer, so you might be right. Chintzmas 16:24, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
