Fallout 3 WTF, HALP!

[hotdogoctopus]

So, because I suck, I have the lawbringer perk (Yes, I'm a do-gooder in games). And I have to take the fingers to some dude who wears a duster like it's cool and lives in a shack. And everytime I go to said shack, the brahmin outside of the shack are being attacked by Giant Radscorpions. Now, this man I turn my macabre sack-o-fingers into lives IN the shack, but because he is terrified of the giant radscorpions (which I presume touched him as a child) he runs out of the house, either to somewhere I can't follow well. Or, straight to the enclave controlled national guard depot only to be knocked out. Indefinitely. And when he wakes, HE'S STILL GODDAMN TERRIFIED. How do I fix this or what the fuck am I to do with all these goddamn fingers? I'd be swimming in bottle caps. Should I make a goddamn finger necklace? Maybe a finger-longer? I hate you bank of fingamerica.

:EDIT: By the time he's going towards the shack and not terrified. There are more radscorpions. EVERY FUCKING TIME. I've tried to sell my pile of fingers like 15 times. Same shit every time.

PC? You could use a console command to kill him so that he can't run god-knows-where, kill the scorpions and revive him.

 

[DanielPowell33]

This happens to me too, just have to hope you kill the the Radscorpions before he gets terrified.

And you don't suck cuz you have the lawbringer perk. I got it cuz you kill way more evil people in the game the good, think of all the random raiders.

That's never happened to me...in fact, it's always yao guai outside the regulator's shack for me, and they were only there the first time. I'm on 360, though, but I don't know if that affects anything in this case.

I wish, I would use the shit out of some console. Alas no, ps3.

And everytime I show up, he is coming out of the cabin and running away. I get no chance, the scorpions are marching up the hill laughing at me.

She comes back after a while, you can still give her the fingers when she's crouched down though. At least i could. You could leave Faux outside the shack to guard if you wanted.

 

[Cherry Cola]

You have to kill anything hostile outside first, otherwise she (yes, it is a she) will be scared a long time.

 

[AngloDoom]

Use a sniper, I suppose? Blast one of the fuckers to bits from half a kilometre away and then hopefully the rest will run at you. That's the only way it worked for me, and it didn't go every time. You just have to piss them off before they start terrorising the shack.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I hate giant radscorpions. More than anything in any game.

 

[Spaghetti]

I hate giant radscorpions. More than anything in any game.

Agreed. They piss me off and they're terrifying as hell. Especially the albino ones *shudder*. I've also found that if you sleep in the bed in the regulator shack, he does a runner, even if the surrounding area is safe.

This should help you and any other questions you might have. [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Regulator_HQ#Bug.2FGlitch] Try fast-traveling to a near-by location and walking there.

Terrible Shotgun or Shishkebab my friend. I can usually kill Giants in seconds on Hard.
Now Albino's are a different story... a lot of backwards running, some Shishkebab or AE-21 Plasma Rifle will do the trick though.

I like to use the Flamer, makes those fuckers back up some.
Burn that sucker black!!

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Don't bother. You could have 50 fingers and you'd proably not even make 15 bottle caps. I never made more then 25 bottlecaps and I wouldn't call that swimming in Bottle caps since I could make more by selling Raider Gear.

 

[Theon Tonarim]

Happened to me. I just ran around until I found her.

 

[The Random One]

Sit back and enjoy it. It's hilarious.

At any rate, if you follow her long enough, and kill the radscorpions, eventually you'll be able to do the trade. Same thing happened to me.
