Forum:Can't do NCR sidequests because of hostility

I'm trying to do Restoring Hope side quest and I got the quests (the one where you go to all the Ranger stations for the radios and the other is finding the NCR troops who went to Helios One)

Anyway, everytime I go to Helios One, the lady I'm supposed to talk to turns hostile and attacks me, yet no other NCR soldiers do. And for the other quest, all the rangers at the station turn hostile too.

If you go to close to the door without permission the guard will turn hostile. You need to talk to her first. Schwal 08:01, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

How am I supposed to raise my reputation when everyone keeps attacking me!?!?! Obsidian really didn't design this game right. P.S. I'm wearing NCR combat armor as well 67.174.95.30 00:36, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Have you entered The Strip yet? When I did the NCR and Legion sent representatives to tell me they'd wipe my faction status so I could work with them.

I'm having a similar problem. The NCR has incessantly shot at me for no apparent reason - I've gone from "Neutral" to "Accepted" with no apparent effect. What armor I wear, NCR or otherwise, has no effect. I was only able to do the quests in the Embassy because the Ambassador was not hostile as long as nobody came into the room with me. If they did, he immediately turned hostile and I had to reload. I have no idea when the supposed amnesty actually occurs, but that has not had any effect either.

As far as I am concerned the hostility with NCR is bugged. Until Obsidian fixes it that portion of the game will be unavailable to me.

-- This happened to me also. I had the faction status' disappear and reappear. The NCR was hostile but 'Neutral'. The Legion was sweet, but i was 'Vilified'. Attacked at the same places... Helios One... Ranger Stations. But had random sightings of the Legion... and they would walk on by!

Drove me crazy! I was 25 hours into the game, and started again...

I thought i was so careful not to steal from the NCR at the beginning, i also thought it could have had something to do with the 'You are now dressed as' not being displayed sometimes when changing between outfits (Glitched on one outfit etc). I dont know?

So i started again! After 25 hours.

This time through... no problems at all!!

All i have done is... Delete everything. All saves, game data etc. (Oh im on PS3 BTW). Installed again... Patch 1.01 installed first then the game data did after that.

And i have had not one problem at all! A few visual glitches but nothing serious at all. All the factions status' are as they should be. Both play throughs and so far i have not experienced any freezing also. Im on a 40gb fatty.

So it is possible to experience a relatively smooth game, and especially without what i thought was major, game destrying, plot bugs.



P.S. Oh, and i forgot one important factor... I have NOT worn any faction based armour at all. As i believe this is a possible source of the 'Faction based' bug.
