Cannot purchase RL3 from Tinker Joe (Old bug)

Post by Zhunter5000 » Thu Dec 20, 2018 4:08 pm

I thought this was a old issue, and turned out it was. When you speak to tinker Joe there is only 2 dialouge options:

Goodby
I'm here to buy

My OS is Windows 10
LO is:
[X] FalloutNV.esm
[X] DeadMoney.esm
[X] HonestHearts.esm
[X] OldWorldBlues.esm
[X] LonesomeRoad.esm
[X] GunRunnersArsenal.esm
[X] Fallout3.esm
[X] Anchorage.esm
[X] ThePitt.esm
[X] BrokenSteel.esm
[X] PointLookout.esm
[X] Zeta.esm
[X] CaravanPack.esm
[X] ClassicPack.esm
[X] MercenaryPack.esm
[X] TribalPack.esm
[X] TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm
[X] YUPTTW.esm
[X] Level100PerkPerLevel.esp (Fixed version for 3.2.1)
[X] Unbreakable Weapons and Armor.esp

Specs are:
I3-6100u
Intel HD 520
8GB ram

SS will be uploaded soon, as I'm still not used to it.Image

It should be available. Is this still a known issue? I also cannot speak to rl3 as clicking it doesn't do anything.

You speak to Tinker Joe, also RL-3 is a critter like ED-E, so you cannot hire him if you have Dogmeat, Rex, or ED-E.

I tested it a few minutes ago, it works fine.

I'm having the same issue. I have neutral karma and the charisma bobblehead and tinker joe has no option for buying the robot.

Edit: I'm using the unlimited companions option in JIP CC and i had dogmeat plus jericho and clover with me. Firing all of them made the dialogue show up and i can buy him now. After buying i can rehire everyone so it seems the unlimited companions is working but you have to fire everyone to hire anyone new

Yes I know I'm a loner right now. I'm not sure if it's a issue on my end or not

JIPCCC seems to not handle the critter thing, I don't know.

Can't reproduce not being able to purchase him from Tinker Joe when a loaner with neutral karma.

Hmm strange. Maybe it's been fixed on your debugging version of ttw but not on the release. I'm not sure. It's not a big deal but I do know I'm not the only one with the problem.

There is nothing wrong with hiring RL-3 in TTW. :)

You're not supposed to be able to hire RL-3 if you have another critter follower. Critter followers are ED-E, Rex and Dogmeat.

I'm testing the release version right now and it works fine. If I have Dogmeat with me, the option to buy RL-3 doesn't appear, if I don't have Dogmeat with me, the option appears fine. :D

Here's me checking the issue in the release version of TTW 3.2.1:
