Forum:BoS attack despite ally status

I'm allied to the BoS, and have a high reputation with them. When I enter the hidden bunker, one of them comes up to give me a stack of energy cells. Unfortunately a long time earlier in my game I snuck into the bunker, used a computer terminal to make the gun turrets fight the BoS members, and collected their armour and weapons (I only did this on level 1 of the bunker however, and didn't enter the second level).

Now when I enter the bunker the BoS have respawned, but the turrets still attack them even if I change the turret targeting parameters using the computer terminal, and even if I try to turn the turrets off completely. This results in the BoS staying in attack mode, and shooting at me despite the fact that my reputation with them is high and we're actually allies.111.240.177.176 02:10, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, it has just occurred to me that I may be using faction aligned armour. I'll have to check. Althoug this bug is a worry.

"Sometimes equipping any faction clothing/armor, no matter how briefly, permanently sets you as a member of that faction in the eyes of all enemies of that faction. This happens even if you put on neutral duds before exiting Pip-Boy and no NPC ever sees you wearing enemy faction attire. For example, while looting bodies out the wasteland you accidentally put on Powder Ganger armor but immediately take it off. When you return to Primm, all residents will be hostile anyway. If you ever put on Legion gear, the NCR will be hostile forever after, etc."122.116.14.80 04:24, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, using BoS armour I can enter the bunker without everyone attacking me, but Lorenzo and the head scribe still want to fight. It looks like a bug.111.240.165.36 05:56, July 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * After having the same annoying problem with the NCR, I finally found that stripping myself of all clothing except for an NCR helmet, stopped the NCR attacking me at last. I will try to do something similar with the BoS, but if it continues (and if the problem with the NCR re-occurs), I think I'll just restart the game from scratch. It will be incredibly annoying after the 63 hours I've put into it, but right now the game is virtually unplayable.
