Forum:Pickpocket casdin

I can't seem to pickpocket my alien blaster off of casdin i have max sneak and agility,i turned off my radio,used a stealth boy cranked down the difficulty put on recon armor and shady hat and stood perfectly still and still always get caught any ideas why i can't grab it off him or how i can get it WITHOUT killing him

It was the same for me, 100 Sneak, and even tried a Stealth Boy, etc. Nothing ever worked for any gear retrieval. Getting the key was never a problem; succeeded every time. So what I did was get the goodies from inside Ft. Independence, and made sure I'd given him all my gear, including the stuff stored at home, that he'd take. Then I did have to kill him, but I did it in a way that'd still have me "friendly" with the Outcast dicks. I just moved him, physically pushing him, close to the army truck, then quickly backed off and blew up the truck. That took him out, and let me get all my stuff back, repaired, plus his stuff, and the Outcasts are still "allies". Hey, you can't use him again to repair stuff, but I think that's a very small price to pay for that one-time uber-fix.

I use that trick all the time, like shortly thereafter, I encountered a pair of them moving near The Overlook Drive-In. They even said, "Casdin says you're clear." to me. One had a Gatling Laser so I needed to grease him for it. I had already blown up the Overlook's cars to take out its Raiders, so followed them patiently, until finally a Yao Guai (easily) put them down for me. Then I took the Gatling Laser and repaired Vengeance nicely. =)
