Talk:Arkansas/Archive 1


 * If you killed him earlier, can you respawn him (in the console) for the Strictly Business quest? Mirar 12:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I believe he's targeting the mines near the cars. If you get the mines first, then the cars won't explode. He seems to do this if you're in his line of sight, whether he can actually detect you or not.
 * Nm that, I just watched him directly target the car when I got close. It still goes that he'll do it whether he can detect you or not.--97.81.77.13 10:46, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Rescuing Arkansas?
I tried to verify Arkansas' behavior by looking at the game scripts, and I can't find anything to indicate that he goes to the Temple of the Union or that he stops being hostile. But I am not a programmer and I could be mistaken.

Camp Robinson
Army National Guard Sniper School at Camp Robinson Arkansas?

I can't find any sources for that, the only Camp Robinson I could find was a Fort Robinson which is a national park now? --DarkJeff 17:15, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Err, nevermind. --DarkJeff 17:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Temple of the Union
Has any ever seen Arkansas at the actual Temple of the Union? I set him free and he just went back to Minefield. Super Mario 126 22:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

none of the slaves from strictly buisness go there they just go back to there normal residence

Notable Loot - Longwinded Story
I truly don't see what the extended story on Arkansas was necessary for. It explains to me that he has two Sniper Rifles, which is feasible, however the writer goes on to explain about reverse pickpocketing him stimpaks? And then, to top it all off, there are NO viable sources cited. I suggest deletion of section.

Isn't arkansas the name of one of the last remaining diamond mines in america


 * I still don't see any evidence for the origin of the character as described in the article. (in-game origin, not the name reference) BTW, what's the "slaver invasion"? --70.142.41.253 16:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Disposition
This article reads as if Arkansas can be either hostile or non-hostile when you encounter him. He was red when I found the town, and there's no mention of any quests involving talking to him. How do you get him green? --70.142.41.253 16:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If he's enslaved as part of Strictly Business and then subsequently freed, he will no longer be hostile to the player upon his return to Minefield. -- Porter21 (talk) 16:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

No sniper rifle
I've just killed Arkansas from a distance with a hunting rifle (from the hill, about 50 meteers before the first mines beegin) and even it looked that he got a sniper rifle (but I cannot say this for sure, hunting rifle has no scope and he was outside of VATS reach) I cannot find it! But I found some sniper ammo in corpses...

Strangely - he has no [empty] note after his name, even though he has empty inventory...

I dropped his body down and after save and load - He became a flying stretched ragdoll (it looked weird) this flying "ball" bounced few times from walls and flew away... 79.163.2.145 20:36, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

[EDIT] Restarting the game fixed those issues - He wasn't flying stretched corpses and weapon appeared in his inventory. Now he has [empty] note next to his name.
