Talk:Head of State

The Memorial Poster
Is it possible to sell the poster to Walker, kill him, loot the poster, and take it back to the Temple of the Union?

Edit: Its possible to sell the poster to Walker for 200 caps then loot it back by pick pocketing. havn't tried killing him for it.

It's possible to sell and pickpocket it back or killing the slavers for it, same applies to slaves/Hannibal Hamlin - PS3 GOTY

Regulator Duster
In the notes section it says that if you walk up to the slavers in the Memorial in a regulator duster, they will shoot on sight and no dialogue will happen. I walked up in a regulator duster, shady hat, and reading glasses, and no one shot me. In fact, I initiated contact with Silas just fine. Also, I'm playing on the 360. Maybe that should be removed? 71.162.104.132 03:53, June 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * My character, who has Evil karma, approached the temple wearing a Regulator duster without incident. I had no problem entering the facility or initiating the Head of State quest with Hannibal. My game platform is also the Xbox 360. Growl-tiger 00:39, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

killing the slavers at on the lincoln memorial
In the note sections it refers that killing the slavers at the memorial will not make the others at paradise hostile. Turns out that killing them WILL make the other slavers at paradise hostile, but for some reason grouse & the other gate slaver aren affected ( unless killing everyone inside paraside falls of course ), i was playing on the GOTY version for the Ps3, perhaps it should be edited ?

This is the second time I read on this wiki that a certain action will not turn a group hostile and yet it does (this one and the killing of Crowley in underworld). I don't like to edit wiki's because someone always comes along and changes it back and somehow it becomes my responsibility to prove that they're wrong.--24.33.85.168 20:25, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

I am having the same issue. I start my save file from paradise falls where no one is hostile, quick travel to the lincoln memorial, and I've tried sniping them from afar as well as angering them by walking up to the memorial, and in both cases, paradise falls is hostile upon return. I have not yet given the memorial poster to the guy at the temple of the union in the quest, and I've already spoken to leroy walker about gathering artifacts for him. I am playing on the standard ps3 version, unpatched. My last game paradise falls did not turn hostile upon killing the slavers at the memorial, so I wonder if this is dependent upon how far you are in the game or if you've completed another quest first. So far, going up the steps, angering the slavers, and having your followers kill them off has no negative effects on paradise falls. Anyone with similar experimentation?

Group turned around and went back to the HQ
While I was guiding the convoy to the Lincoln Memorial, after a small fight with a robot, they suddenly decided to turn around. After "assisting" them back, (via teleporting Hannibal in jumps along what I thought was their path of travel back,) he walked up to the second story, looked out of a window, said "Better check that out", then restarted the group's journey. I'm really wishing at this point that it was possible to make them sprint permenantly. Tgp1994 22:45, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Probably about 4 miles into the journey, the group finally sprints in rounds. Hannibal will sprint for about 200 feet, stop and wait for the group, then continue sprinting. At least things are speeding up now. Tgp1994 22:52, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Meet Hannibal
I was stuck at "Meet Hannibal at the Memorial", he was there, I spoke to him, but I couldn't get the quest to register that I met him. Had to use the console commands:

setobjectivecompleted ms06 25 1

setobjectivedisplayed ms06 15 1

And that got things going again.

'I did this quest backwards' issue.
(XBOX) I was given this quest by Hannibal and Silas under the memorial as I hadn't discovered the temple at the time. Part of the conversation with Hannibal was the warning that the slavers wouldn't let anyone into the memorial, then Hannibal sent me to find where the slaves were. I found them at the temple and returned to the memorial to report in, but I now cant get near to Hannibal to tell him where the slaves are as he has moved to the statue and so the slavers shoot before I can get close to him. Ive tried finishing the quest (activating the battle at the monument) but it wont let me side with the slavers and I dont want to ruin my bad karma score.

Anyone know how to get to the Haanibal to side with the slavers in these curcumstances, or is the quest bugged? 82.2.16.236 19:45, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

No option to tell Leroy Walker that the slaves are in Old Olney?
Could someone please tell me what dialog options and what actions you need to take in order to get the speech option to tell Leroy Walker that the slaves are in Old Olney so that the slavers go there and get killed by deathclaws? It told me I discovered Old Olney and it is on my map, I have the Lincoln Memorial poster in my possession, and I have 100 speech and 10 charisma but I do not have the speech option to make the slavers go to Old Olney. Do I have to tell Hannibal about the slavers or give Caleb the poster first? I don't want them to leave and go to the memorial before the slavers have left.69.143.68.134 23:12, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Leading the slavers to Old Olney will have them going past Temple of the Union and capturing the slaves, so don't do that if you want the slaves to live. 85.82.249.149 22:20, August 28, 2010 (UTC)Random Lurker

Restored Monument
Do they ever restore the monument? 24.12.169.133 07:15, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Glitchy as hell
This quest is probably the Glitchiest of them all. I joined the slavers (Bad idea) and followed them to the Temple. Suddenly, we ran into a pack of supermutants. Leeroy and I were left, but Leeroy died. It was scary. So I went to the temple of the union and tried to tell this guy (can't remember his name.) that the Leeroy was dead. He acted normal but there was this option to tell him about the slavers at the memorial that I hadn't seen before. I chose it and he told me to clear the area. I followed my marker to Leeroy's body. I was so confused. So I loaded a save game from before Leeroy's death. Walked up to him and some Rivet City security guards. NOW THERE WERE FIGHTING MIRELURKS!!! Okay, so they killed all except one. This one was stuck in the ground. I tried to shoot it, but no success. So I went back to Leeroy and he was shooting into thin air like the Mirelurk was in front of him. So, I loaded the save game again, and now they were fighting Super mutants again. I killed them all before they killed Leeroy. When they're dead, Leeroy won't move. I talk to him and he says "Yes?" and the only option is "Goodbye." This where I go insane. I go to this guy and the option to tell him about the memorial is faded out (remember, I loaded a previous save game) as if I picked it already. Instead there's an option to tell him the memorial is clear. I tell him, but he says something about Lincoln's head so I played along and talked to this other guy who wanted a picture of Abraham. I went to Museum of History and goT the picture. Gave it to him and so we set off to the memorial. THEY WERE WALKING LIKE TURTLES. So I decided to fast travel. They weren't there. I waited 3 hours, nothing. I repeated this multiple times and nothing. I went to the vault so it told me to wait 3 game days. Finally, they showed up. I cried tears of joy. Anyways, as you can see, it could screw up the game. Just wanted to warn you about all the possibilities. The Unknown User 01:03, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

QUEST STAGES, PLEASE!
Hello! The Wiki for Oblivion lists quests with their stages, so that players can get the numbers needed to advance quest stages using the Console. I wish this Wiki would do the same! Somehow I've got Hannibal waiting for the Slavers to attack, but they won't be. I'm supposed to talk to him to complete the quest that he gave to my character. But talking to him only gets the line about awaiting an attack and perhaps I can help. But as I enslaved the named NPCs but did kill the generic, nameless Slavers, the ex-slave party is awaiting an attack that will never occur now. I came her hoping to get the correct quest stage number so that I could set the stage and end the quest. How do I do that? HELP! Leo Star Dragon 1 04:29, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Ah hell, never mind! Going into the Slave Pen and punching the two guys that I enslaved until they died, set the quest stages back into place. But during the trek to the Memorial, I got separated from the party while checking mail boxes and now I can't find them and they won't show up at the Memorial. So I shall be reloading from a much, much earlier save, darn it all. Sigh. Leo Star Dragon 1 23:30, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
