So I went to the bridge, and I see this guy shooting at me and another guy walking behind him (Follow-Chalk?) so since I react quickly without VATS, I started to shoot at them with my M1 Garand and killed them both. Since I had low health, I quickly went to take some food and saved my game. After a while walking I found out that the quest "Move into Zion" had failed and replaced by Chaos in Zion.



Then I walked to the place and got the map, and had to kill Daniel and everyone. Since I saved after I killed Follow-Chalk (I had not noticed) I couldn't go back and restart the quest. Since I was playing a good character, the ending obviously pissed the f*** out of me and destroyed my will to continue playing as that good character.



Is there a way to restart the DLC from the beginning? I heard I can uninstall the DLC, open the game, save then install the DLC again, but I'm not sure if it will work. Any ideas? Thanks! GT: prdude123 So, I am level 27 and decided to do HH, so I went to the Happy Trails Caravan, kicked the psycho addict dude and talked to Jeb. I started the quest. We got ambushed blah blah.So I went to the bridge, and I see this guy shooting at me and another guy walking behind him (Follow-Chalk?) so since I react quickly without VATS, I started to shoot at them with my M1 Garand and killed them both.

User Info: masterpug53 masterpug53 7 years ago #2 Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. What you described works - make a save when you're back in the Mojave, uninstall the DLC by deleting it or moving it to another source (such as a memory stick - take the stick out of course before doing the next step). When you reload, it will tell you that the DLC is missing - go ahead with it, save again, reinstall by redownloading or moving it back from your flashdrive, and away you go. You will lose everything specific to the DLC such as perks, weapons and progress (but not exp or non-DLC-specific items gained in the DLC), effectively giving you a chance to start over.

Only problem you could possibly run into is if you're level is greater than or equal to five less than the cap you'd have with HH installed, or in other words, having a level higher than the highest possible level you could have without the extra cap from the DLC. That could potentially cause problems, and I've never done this technique when that was the case.



And also you'd lose a perk slot if you took any HH perks. Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. Well technically it's a glitch in that it's not something you're supposed to do, so use at your own risk. I've never had any problems with it though, and I've done this several times between FO3 and this game.Only problem you could possibly run into is if you're level is greater than or equal to five less than the cap you'd have with HH installed, or in other words, having a level higher than the highest possible level you could have without the extra cap from the DLC.

The level cap increases are not considered DLC content, and will remain even if all DLC is removed. Eclipsing power is, at times, not only the instrument of demons, but also of gods.

Ah, good to know. Never had the balls to try it, honestly.



Can you gain infinite levels / perks by deleting / replaying DLC? Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. Ah, good to know. Never had the balls to try it, honestly.Can you gain infinite levels / perks by deleting / replaying DLC?

No, the level cap increase only works once per DLC. It seems to use some data tag that the DLC can read even if the game was saved after deleting it. Eclipsing power is, at times, not only the instrument of demons, but also of gods.

Huh that's nifty, I wonder if PC mods work the same way. I need to test this later. In death lays ecstasy, in undeath lays immortality Huh that's nifty, I wonder if PC mods work the same way. I need to test this later.
