Forum:Techatticup Mine made me a bad guy

Help! I had good karma and was friendly with everyone but the Legionnaires until the Techatticup Mine mission. I freed the NCR troops without getting them killed, and while I was killing the Legionnaire troops it popped up a message that I gained infamy with the legionnaires. It does that everytime I fight them, so I figured it was no big deal. Then it said I was a murderer and all the communities would hate me. I can't remember the exact words but that's the gist of it. Has anybody had this happen, and more importantly, how do I fix it?

It's too late to reload because I didn't even realize what had happened until I came out of the mine, which saves the game. I thought they just meant the Legionnaires hated me. Now Veronica just killed Easy Pete, Ringo, and Trudy. I'm assuming I have to start over from scratch. I've never seen a game that locks up as much as this one and has so many bugs, but this is just too much. I haven't been to Vegas yet but I've finished 52 different locations in the Wasteland. Every quest, every conversation, every inch of the Hoover Dam, I even picked up every tin can. Now I have to start over.

Your overall Karma must be pretty low for that to have happened. There's a slim chance you may redeem yourself if you go on a Ghoul and Fiend rampage (and stop stealing things!) - you get Karma for each one killed. Of course, this isn't going to resurrect anyone but it might well improve the other faction's disposition toward you. Good luck .... P3dantic 10:13, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I had pretty good Karma as far as I know, but oh well. I never stole any of the red stuff, except for opening the safe in the lobby for the Boone mission. As buggy and obnoxious as this game is, I've already started over anyway. I just can't believe they didn't spend a little more time ironing everything out. Looking back, I think what happened was that after I freed the first set of troops and made the Legionnaires start shooting at me, I got proactive on the next set of them and sniped a couple before I even entered the room, while they still showed up yellow on my compass. It can be convenient that you have to become "re-vilified" with the Legionnaires every time, but I guess yellow is yellow and red is red. Thanks again for the help. 38.114.70.27 05:01, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
