Forum:The Power of the Atom/Black Widow perk

Hello. This is my first time using this, so I apologize in advance if I don't do something right. Anyways...

Today I started a new character. Female. My last account was male and I disarmed the bomb in megaton. This time, I want to destroy the city. I have picked the Black Widow perk, and I have seduced Mr. Burke into sending me love letters (I haven't received any yet, because he just left the bar and I haven't proceeded beyond that yet). This was my mistake. I did not want to forfeit my chance of receiving the fusion pulse charge from him after using the unique black widow dialog.

I have tried using "resetquest 00014E9E" in console, but this does not bring Mr. Burke back to the saloon, probably because I never officially started the quest. I joined the IRC channel and tonyhk47 tried assisting me. We tried "player.moveto 00014F77", but that just moves me to right outside of the saloon at the entrance. We tried "prid 00014F77" and "moveto player", which did nothing. After that, he gave me the commands "prid 24f77" "disable" "enable" "kill" "resurrect". This made Mr. Burke walk outside from the entrance to the bar, but when trying to communicate with him, he only says "Patience." as he continues to walk off.

Simply restarting the game is not an option, considering that I have already worked 7 hours on this character and found all of the SPECIAL bobbleheads.

TD;DR VERSION: I messed up Black Widow perk dialog with Mr. Burke and now I am unable to seduce him into giving me the extra 500 caps, let alone even giving me the fusion pulse charge to blow up the bomb. I need the console command(s) to fix this.

Thank you for your time.

First off, you should be able to just restart from a previous save(you do make new saves every hour or so or before something major right?) If not you could restart and just use the console to give yourself the bobbleheads you collected, although if you have BS installed I'd recommend not getting them until level 30 and the almost perfect perk. 76.180.204.58 02:12, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
