Talk:Aba Daba Honeymoon

The Flintstones Reference
I'm just going on a hunch, but could the name of this quest be a reference to Fred's catchphrase. I always believed it to be "Yabba, dabba, dooooooo!" but I may have misheard it.

You weren't mistaken, i don't think it might be the reference unless theres anything on the Flintstones /(Media) thats called "'The Aba Daba Honeymoon resort' Take some drugs and pass them on!" The Hawk 21:07, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Also a reference to the song jack and diane by john mellencampAddamthecomic 22:14, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

The page mentions if you visit Vault 3 and talk to Motor-Runner before having the quest it is "impossible to complete this quest without console commands". Which console commands are these, is it refering to "setstage 140c3b 60" or is there another way to reset him via console? - tehsorrow@gmail.com 12:43, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

The song, "Aba Daba Honeymoon," was first recorded in 1914. It has since been featured in a few movies, an episode of Laverne and Shirley, and has been sang by the cartoon character Betty Boop.

Khans storming vault 3?
I did the part of abba dabba honeymoon where you deliver the package to motor runner. I hit T and waited for a few hours (Ending up at like 7 or 8pm) and all of the sudden 3 great khans with shotguns and hunting rifles showed up inside the vault and started slaughtering every fiend they saw, including Motor Runner.

What the hell?

There is a bug that happens on my game that has Great Khans appearing randomly near me when I enter places. This happens in places that they have no right being like in the Lucky 38. I have never had them appear someplace hostile like Vault 3, but maybe this is what happens when they do. serose806:54, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Bugged Anders
The walkthrough claims you can leave Anders crucified, but the Quest refuses to update and the game won't let me tell Diane where Anders is if I just leave him there. Nymphonomicon 20:59, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Khan trick specifics?
The specific requirements to learn the Khan Trick need to be further explored. The page claims you need to teach Jack five recipes and pass a 25 Speech check, but I learned the trick after teaching Jack three recipes and passing a 50 Barter check from Diane.

About the bugged dialog with Motor-Runner
The bug-section claims that once you've started I Put A Spell On You from Colonel Hsu, you won't be able to deliver the drugs to Motor-Runner (or at least so I understood). Is this really permanent? What would happen if you tried to kill Hsu, failing that quest? Gesh86 11:41, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

-I don't think you can kill Hsu, and his 'quest' to kill Motor-Runner is unmarked, so there's nothing to fail. Simply getting the note to kill him prevents any future dialogue after that, making it impossible to sell the suspicious package.

---I did "NOT" have this bug (Xbox360 v1.0.0.210). I had already started (and finished) 'I Put A Spell On You', before ever speaking to Motor-Runner, and I did have the option to give him the package from Diane. HOWEVER, I would like to point out that the dialogue option is the very last one on the bottom, below all the conversation ending choices. It is very easy to overlook it, and I had done so my self twice before happening apon it the 3rd time after having read this wiki, assuming I had the bug and was just trying to end the conversation cleanly. With the 5 selling options up top, and several closing options below them, it's a very VERY poor location for a quest critical dialogue option to be placed. Can anyone else who thinks they have this bug check for this please. Oh, I had also completed the Still In The Dark's Air Filtration quest before this, so I had spoken to Motor-Runner before being asked to by Diane, but again, I had aleady spoke to Hsu and had the note before this any of this.--98.211.145.167 03:21, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Quest Breaker?
Earlier today I had to roll back to an older save from before this quest. When I reloaded, I went to Cottonwood Cove and found Anders BEFORE discovering Red Rock Canyon and initiating 'Aba Daba Honeymoon'. I interacted with him and couldn't get him down (quest hadn't been started yet) so I left the area, eventually re-discovering Red Rock and breaking the alliance between the Legion and the Great Khans. I went and re-initiated 'Aba Daba Honeymoon' and fast-travelled to Sniper's Nest so I could walk down the mountainside and get Anders off the telephone pole (this had worked successfully on my previously deleted save without problems, figured it would work again). The game froze on me on the loading screen FOUR times (that's rebooting the 360 and trying again)! I FT'ed to Coyote Mines and tried walking to Anders, but as soon as he appeared as a mark on my compass the game completely froze. Reloaded again, trying to walk to him from Searchlight Airport. Same thing - as soon as he appeared on the compass, the game froze up. I first enountered this glitch at Level 21, am now a Level 28 and it's still occurring. Does talking to Anders before ever going to Red Rock Canyon and meeting the Khans glitch the game to where the quest is broken? XavierGTR 12:18, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

-It seems this quest is one of the glitchiest in the game. If you talk to almost anybody involved with it or motor runner before starting it, it causes numerous scripting bugs. Even talking to Hsu, motor runner, Anders, or Jack out of order will break the quest in some way, making you fail it. God damn broken quests and faction errors in this game, and months later none of it is fixed. Worthless Obsidian...

Hostetler workaround
When Don Hostetler replies simply with "I should kill you, right here, for what you've done" when speaking to him, after his wife died in Someone to Watch Over Me, you can fix this by resurrecting Mrs. Hostetler with the console commands: (ID for Mrs. Hostetler), followed by:, then  and  again. You can also go speak to Mrs. Hostetler to get the dialog (and reward) for the good ending to her mission.

Unable to complete if you talked to Motor-Runner before
On Xbox 360 even with the latest patch if you have already been to the vault and talked to Motor Runner told him you will leave when he threatens you, before getting this quest the Great Khans dialogue will not appear, even when wearing the armor. The only two options are that you will leave or that you are here to kill him for the NCR. Funnily enough nobody in the NCR asked me to kill him. I am not sure if stealth killing the dogs or killing all the other fiends in the vault had anything to do with it.
