I found this interesting art in deviantart, years ago

The forced conversation triggered in the middle of the fight, lol.

Fallout Tactics! Bought this game when I was a child, and I lost the physical copy. IT was on sale for $2.99. Installed it, downloaded the install file. And going to make a physical copy of as many Fallout games as I can onto 1 Blueray disc. I'm a happy camper!

I'll just add that I did a bit of digging around before I decided to post on here. I went through the motions for Ben...Two Sun agreement, Casa Grande hostage negotiated free, Casa Grande mayor peacefully forms truce with highwaymen and tinsmiths. Gabbed with Rio about the bike with Empathy and top speech and INT.

All Ben gives me is a flamethrower and a jacket. I can fool Rio into giving me the key...steal the key, hack the bike...etc. I just can't get past my first stop out of Highwaymen (land) with the bike.

I checked F2 Explorer. It shows that I "bought"/"won" the bike. I even forced it to make the bike appear. Then, after saving and reloading, I can get on the bike right next to the exit grid in Highwaymen (land) and, like before, it flies along like I have the bike, but it doesn't show up at whatever destination I go to...and I'm back to walking about.

I have 1.15 E with Sfall...because doing it without tweaking the XP Table is just torture. lol

Any clues on what may be the issue? Thanks!
