Forum:Problem with the NCR quest protecting President Kimball

I'm playing on Hardcore mode and I'm on the quest where the NCR has you protect President Kimball during his visit to Hoover Dam.

When you talk to the Ranger, he tells you to wait until tomorrow and you have short fade to black moment for the time to pass. Unfortunately, this time lapse causes me to instantly die from dehydration and starvation.

I tried talking to the Ranger at around 11 pm so when "tomorrow" comes around it will only have been an hour or two and my character won't instantly die. Unfortunately, I still instantly died from dehydration even when I did that.

Does anybody know when is the best time to talk to the Ranger when my water, food, and sleep level are all at 0?


 * If everything is at 0, then you may infact be experiencing a gitch. When he says wait until tomorrow, you do not actually have to wait an entire day. President Kimball arrives around 1:00pm (at least on my game) after all the preperation has been done. So technically you can talk to him at around 11:30 the day before and both your hunger and dehydration levels will only go to minor, at the very least. There's absolutely no way you should die if everything is at 0. If that dosent work, save your game in front of him, turn off Hardcore and see what happens from there. Then reload the save and try again.

PS3 Patched 1.2 - I see your concern. It almost happened to me but, after momentarily glitching out, my 3 critical stats all reset to zero. If it matters, my survival skill was 75+ at the time.P3dantic 09:04, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
