Forum:"Waters of Life" Crash/ Freeze Jefferson Rotunda

(Spoilers) Right after Dad dies, I hit a total freeze every time I tried to exit the Rotunda. After 6 hours of frustration, I figured out the solution. The "Waters of Life" quest is triggered in the Rivet City Science Lab, but when I was talking to Dad, Harkness came in and shot Dr. Zimmer (the aftermath of the "Replicated Man" quest). Two stories were going on simultaneously in the same room, which resulted in a freeze in the Rotunda later on (2/2 attempts). To fix, I had to load an old save game, before Vault 112 and Tranquility Lane, and go to Rivet City Science Lab to watch Harkness kill Zimmer. I had to redo Vault 112 and Tranquility Lane, then meet Dad in the Science Lab. This time it all worked out, thank fuk.

I had the same problem (Xbox 360). I was able to solve it by running away from Dad after Tranquility Lane (which doesn't activate "Waters of Life," and headed for Rivet City. Then, I lied to Zimmer about Harkness's Death, and Zimmer left the Science Lab.  Then, I went back to Vault 112, talked to Dad to activate "Waters of Life," and proceeded from there, fixing the problem.Niterider2004 19:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
