Forum:Need advice. Major glitch I'm trying to fix.

Ok, so, I got the glitch where you can't send companions back to the Lucky 38. This SUCKS. Mainly because I'm trying to play a true "good" game and not try and accrue any negative karma (difficult, but I've done great so far). Now, I'm to understand that you HAVE to kill or disable Mr. House to correct this glitch (and much thanks to the creators of the latest patch for leaving this one unfixed!), but killing or disabling him requires a HUGE karma loss. What are my options here? I'd prefer to try and establish an independent New Vegas, but I really can't seeing as how you still have to do bad things to Mr. House. Any suggestions here? I REALLY want to finish the side quests of all my companions before the endgame, and having them all at the Lucky 38 is ideal (plus I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to games like this, so having them all accessible at the same place is something I'd like to do). Thanks in advance for any advice. Needless to say, responses to this question as I posed it to GameFaqs were childish and useless. Thanks again!

When you expose Mr House simply don't talk to him. Hit him with a sneak attack for no Karma loss - PS3 Patch 1.2P3dantic 09:12, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

Nope, that doesn't work in the least. Karma loss incurred for ANYTHING you do to this guy! Man, WHY couldn't they just fix their freaking mistakes with the last patch? This is absolutely unacceptable. I released him, then went into hiding and shot him. Karma loss. Karma loss for taking him out and putting him back. Karma loss for sterliizing the chamber. Karma loss for installing Yes Man. Karma loss for disconnecting him. Karma loss for looking at him cross-eyed. Geeze. Oh, and after you kill him like that, you can no longer access the terminal to install Yes Man. This is on the 360 version, btw. You know, the one with more bugs than a 50's Sci-Fi movie, but the one that Bethesda offers exclusive DLC for? This is absolutely infuriating!

I Just tried my suggestion once again (PS3 Patch 1.2) and a Sneak Critical face full of Plasma incurred no loss of Karma. Of note, Yes Man was patiently waiting outside still. I sold my Xbox (because Bethesda games kept on crashing) and bought the PS3 to try and fix this kinda thing - all to no avail. Now I wish I'd gone for the PC version but then I don't get to play for as long as I would wish.("Other people want to use that PC Ron!" still ringing in my ears from Fallout3 GOTY - LOL)P3dantic 09:43, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I just went ahead and killed him. Didn't have a choice. Now Yes Man is installed, and my companions can travel to the 38 now, but I'm stopping working for House/Yes Man and moving on to working with the NCR. Done all the companions quests except for Veronica's, and now her quest won't initiate, and she won't teach me the Scribe Counter when I give her the Formal Wear. Wonderful.

Sheesh! That's really messed up! I assume you've asked Veronica what her goal in life is, and she's already told you she wants a dress? Of course you have. For me Veronica usually starts whinging as I complete Follower Quests. I don't go routing around to see what finally makes her Companion Quest start, I just play. I hope it all works out for you in the end.P3dantic 09:13, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
