Xerofox Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 So as I was playing through the game I got to the point where it said "Quest Completed" for Scientific Pursuits but no achievement. Then I beat the Tranquility Lane thing and got that acheivement but it skipped over the one before it. Am I going to have to make a new character to get that specific achievement? I'm affraid so, you should get this achievement before entering Tranquility Lane. I had the same thing with the quest "shoot em in the head". Killed 2 targets, got to Tenpenny and he gave me a better offer. Decided to kill the guy who gave me this quest and went back to Tenpenny but he doesn't respond. Bye bye achievement.

big red marino Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I did the same thing and spoke with the doctor at Rivot City making the "Following in his Footsteps" quest not longer an available active quest option in my PIPBOY. However, I still went to the Galaxy News Radio and helped the Brotherhood of the steel guys kill the Super Human Bohemoth outside. I then looted the dead BofS guy of his armor at the front door and hit the intercom button, thus letting me into the Radio Station. I then went up stairs to talk with Three Dog and he gave me the "Galaxy News Radio" Quest. Once I completed the conversation with Three Dog the "Following in his Footsteps" achievement popped. Just keep in mind that the achievement list shows the main quest achievements in proper order, from the top of the list until "TAKE IT BACK. After that they are misc quests. However, from my obvious experience it does not necessarily lock you out of completing the mission. I think if it is an active quest done in order you meet upwith some female BofS character right before the Super Human Bohemoth fight and she lets you into the radio station.

afexracerx Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, somehow I missed Scientific Pursuits. I started the quest, but I went out and decided to do other things before finishing. The next thing I know I'm doing Tranquility Lane lol. Oh well, there will be a second play through so it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ UK Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have played through the game and met up with three dog, now I just looked at my gamercard and should have unlocked a few more for the main quest by now, whats the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outline Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I completed Scientific Pursuits and didn't get the achievement. So lame, as I've already done Tranquility Lane <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletslugs Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Just wanted to let everyone know I had this same problem and I finally got mine after I beat the game. I started a new game... as soon as I escaped vault 101... I went directly to rivet city (not megaton) I went directly downstairs and spoke to doctor li.. and this turns on the scientific pursuits quests. I went directly from rivet city to the purity room in Jefferson memorial. I went directly to note 10 only.. and I played note 10 in my notes... I went directly from Jefferson memorial to the garage of vault 112 I put on the jumpsuit and took all all my other clothes and items and throw them on the floor (just to be safe) I went directly downstairs and hopped in the tranquility pod after the screen goes to the old black and white scene (after the load) ... boom I got my last achievement. finally 1000/1000 on this game....Just wanted to let everyone know what I did to receive my glitch achievement.

Outline Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I had this problem about an hour ago. My problem was that I had discovered the Memorial before talking to Dr. Li If you can load a previous file, talk to Dr. Li, find the tape, THEN go to Vault 112. It can all be done in under 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Fryy Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You might have gone to the location you needed to go to a bit early, and as a result it skipped it. Meaning you went to the place the quest required you to go, before you actually had to go there. That's at least what I've been hearing around the forums.

Cygnes Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 yeah i sure did that alright.... hrmm now the question is do i want to go back in my saves and try to redo it. fail. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neok182 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 yea you have to actually do the quest. you won't get the achievement if you skip it but still finish the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big red marino Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Try and do what's needed to complete the quest anyway. I know I had a similar issue and I could not access the quest. However, I went and talked to the next person I was supposed to for that quest and got the achieve. You may have to search in the forum for what you are supposed to do next in that particular quest.

Outline Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Had the exact same problem, I had to reload. Luckily, you can speed run through the quest in ten minutes - just go straight to the control room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinobi273 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You skipped something in the quest. Just do what you have to do for the quest and it will unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick DS Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 This happened to me too. I'm near the end of the game, completed the quest (shows up as complete on the pip-boy) and got no achievement for it. I'm not really sure if there is a way to rectify this without starting a game. Not that that's a problem or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazel_Valkyrie Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I had the same problem and I think it was because I went to Project Purity or Jefferson Memorial before starting the quest. I reloaded and started the quest before ever going to Jefferson Memorial and I got it right upon entering Tranquility Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XProdgerX Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You skipped something in the quest. Just do what you have to do for the quest and it will unlock. ok ill check thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outline Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Search in future, but chances are you went to the plant before talking to Dr Li; that's everyone's biggest problem. Reload to before you found the plant, then talk to Dr Li. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
