Forum:Flak and Shrapnel's "On Death" Key

Both npc pages list Flak and Shrapnel's Key in the On Death section of Inventory. Both pages have asterixes to this entry stating that the key is only getable if both characters are dead. The note on both pages also specifies that Shrapnel cannot die, so obtaining the key is impossible.

Anybody understand how to resolve the conflicting info? (I never play as a slaver, and I've never killed Flak or Shrapnel, so I don't know from first-hand experience.)--Gothemasticator 06:41, December 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't really see the conflict. All of what you mentioned is true; the scripts are set up so you can only get the key from Shrapnel when he dies and Flak is dead/enslaved, and so you can only get the key from Flak when he dies and Shrapnel is dead. That Shrapnel is essential just makes sure the conditions of these scripts can never be fulfilled, but they're still there :) -- Porter21 (talk) 09:26, December 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for clarifying. I'm going to note more clearly on the pages that the key is not actually obtainable. My difficulty is that the pages as they are just list the conflicting conditions, while not explicitly stating the in-game result.--Gothemasticator 09:42, December 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably my fault for not clarifying in Fallout 3 keys where the info likely came from. Occasionally I'm prone to assuming too much knowledge on the reader's part ;) -- Porter21 (talk) 10:25, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
