Forum:Resetting roving trader caravans?

I just got to Canterbury Commons and took care of AntAgonizer. Up comes Uncle Roe and, long dialogue short, he informs me that Crow is dead.

I've tried using the console to reset Uncle Roe, Reset Crow, and every time I use Crow's ref ID to player.moveto, it moves me to Doc Hoff. I've also reset Doc Hoff using console commands.

Does anyone know how to properly reset the dialogues and the traders so that Uncle Roe thinks that Crow is still alive so I can upgrade Crow's inventory and such? I'd like to have my trader empire...

Try this at the console:
 * - targets Crow
 * - should resurrect him

This may work or not...  try the wait and hour trick over and over to see if he reappears. If so, make sure to set him "essential" so he doesn't die again.



Finally, you may have to reset the "quest" that enables you to invest in the traders. I honestly have no clue here, but if you successfully resurrect Crow, let us know if the investment process then proceeds normally! Snicker 15:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Postman 92626 19:05, 22 January 2009 (UTC) How much does 'investing' in traders really help? I mean the merchant shop at Rivet City isn't bad. How many levels is there to invest? I see the $200 cap, which I did and it does not seem worth it. I was offered to invest another $500. What would it bring me and how many levels really? I mean I can kill pretty much anything now that I am late in the game and it so easy to level up to 20.... thoughts?

 * There are four benefits to investing, 2 of which I find very handy.
 * 1. The trader's "bank" increases, so he can buy more stuff from you. By the time you can invest, this seems somewhat pointless unless you're just collecting caps.
 * 2. Each trader has a special reward for you for investing in them. 2 are interesting (though not necessary) and the other two are "meh".
 * 3. The amount and variety of stock increases. This can be handy, especially for ammunition.
 * 4. The repair skill of each trader skyrockets. From an average of 20 or so, their skills jump to 75-80 (with Crazy Wolfgang getting the highest skill of any NPC in the game).  This is extremely handy, especially if you use weapons that are hard or impossible to repair.

I only invested in Crazy Wolfgang and Lucky Harith, but depending on your needs, you may want to invest in all (or none). Snicker 19:55, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Back to the original question, Crow likely has a script where, on death, it sets something like "crow_dead" = 1, with Roes dialogue having condition like if crow_dead = 0, say this, blah blah blah. Changing it to 0 would fix it, but you can't (as far as I know) change that in game since it's not global. Youd likely need to use geck to make something you can actiavte set it. --DragonJTSLeave me a message 17:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
