From my experience you need both a high intelligance and perception to
get that node (you need to notice that something is wrong, and be smart
enough to ask about it I guess). There are more nodes scattered
throughout the game that require something other than a high int to
get. The short of it is that you will never get that quest.

Don't Mentabs increase your perception? I have found that "drugs" are
a temporary way of getting around character deficiencies . . .

: Perception perhaps.... My character is skilled, has a 9 intelligence,
Well, you must only need a 6 for intelligence/perception at most because
that is all I have and I got the quest by noticing that something seemed
to be wrong. And I have done nothing in Modoc at all. In fact, I reloaded
again after Vic got chewed by the dogs attacking the brahmin so I really
haven't even been there in my current game. I'm only level 5 with a
Karma of just over a hundred (been digging up graves), but I don't know
if that matters.
Note: I have the final patch installed and started playing with it that
way.

His name's Jo...I've tried that...but now I just get "Thanks for
saving our town!" and a chance to barter....*sigh* All he was able to
do was give me the ghost farm quest. I had already talked to Karl
before Modoc, so I didn't have to run to the Den on a time limit, and
I had looked at the "fake bodies on a stick" the first time to the
ghost farm, so when I returned to talk to him it was all..."thanks a
lot, send Karl back to us someday if you see him...I'll talk with the
Slags..." and he didn't have much else to say to me. I'm wondering if
I screwed myself by talking to Karl before seeing Jo in Modoc and not
talking to Vegir a second time before the negotiations. I've got a
funny feeling I "messed up the order" somehow.
Thanks,

Thanks Grifman...I hadn't even thought of Mentats! I try to keep my
character "clean" and sell any drugs I come across...(I hate that
annoying addiction stuff) I don't think I have any on me, and I'm not
sure where I sold my next batch....but it's worth a try. I do know I
can get some in Vault City...which is only a hop skip and a jump away.
Once for the hell of it after saving my game, I decided to blow First
Bitch...er.....Citizen Lynette's head off and found little miss "drug
and alcohol free society" carries a good supply of Mentats herself.
;-) (No wonder she's such a pain in the ass.) I think I'll run over
there and heh-heh...."make her pockets a little lighter" for my own
benefit and give this a try. Who knows, maybe on my next visit to VC
she'll be a little nicer without them!
Yours,

My memory may be off on this but I seem to recall that when I talked to
the father at first i didn't get the quest either. I only got it when i
talked to him again _after_ speaking with the mother who sort of
mentioned there was a problem (which presumably opened up the
converstaion option with the father). Have you tried that sequence of
converstaions? Good luck.
