Hello everyone . Not sure if this is a bug or intended but here's what happened on my first playthrough :
After helping the ghouls with the nuclear power plant but prior to returning to vault city to do what's needed to optimize it , i find a hole in the ground and i get down there to explore it . There i meet the renewalists , and proceed to talk to brain . After muttering something about Rat-God's death , he tells me to go speak to gordon to get the economy holodisk . It sounds reasonable but upon leaving he says that i should join his cult or i would not leave this room alive , to which i reply something like " bring it on " . Even though i play as a good guy , i proceed to kill brain and all the renewalists to get out of there . My reputation in Gecko seems to have fallen by the massacre but it's still neutral so i figure i can keep playing and do other stuff for them until i get it high again . From there on , i've encountered what seem like bugs :
1. There was not a dialogue option with McClure about optimizing the power plant . Upon googling the quest i found i could just head straight for the vault computer without telling McClure , so i did . Not a big problem so far .
2. Upon returning to Gecko and speaking to Gordon , i got the the Economy Disk but - guess what - there's not a dialogue option with McClure about that either . Still , i figured this might have been intended as the plan was Brain's all along , and with him gone you can't continue the quest . Bug or not , i cannot finish that quest . Also note that by that time i'm "Liked" in Gecko .
3. I return to Gecko for the third time , five minutes ago , planning to get Lenny to travel with me . I'm still Liked there . But to my surprise every time i talk to someone ( except the traders and such ) i get attacked by the whole city .
4. Dissapointed i reload my save and attempt to speak only to Lenny , hoping that i might recruit him . I can speak to him normally ( same with Harold ) , and he says he'll be glad to come . But the moment i recruit him he abandons me saying i'm a disgrace to the vault dweller's memory . Matter of fact he won't even speak to me anymore .
So anyway, is there a way to get the ghouls to talk to me again , complete the quest about the Economy Disk and most of all recruit Lenny ? Also , are all these bugs ( i'm sure they are up to a point ) or are they a result of me killing brain and his guards ( though it was clearly in self-defence ) ?
Apologies for the long post and for any mistakes i might have .
additional info : i play vanilla and i'm currently " shield of hope " as well as " champion " and " grave digger "
