Fallout 2 possible Karl Bug? Please help.

[DREW]

I found Karl, but when I talk to him he just rambles on about gekos
and stuff. He mentions a garden or farm and then passes out, so I
think I've found him, but then I make the trek back to modor and the
guy says that I have only 5 days to go. ??? I thought I found him? I
know about the dummies up on the farm. What's up with that? I'm
thinking it is because I talked to him before I got the quest to find
him. Any help?

I had the same problem. I think if you talk to Karl before you get the quest
to find him, the quest cannot be completed. I sure couldn't, anyway. If you
find a way, I'd love to hear about it.

No, I talked to him first. Instead of getting the find Karl quest in
Modoc(sp?) you get the conclusion to it (but still get the experience).
The trick with Karl is getting him to talk about himself. If he falls
asleep on you, come back in two hours. Since it actually says something
like "maybe you can talk to him later", it was clear that there would be
dialog options that open up only if you pester him enough.

This guy needs money to open up. Give him $100 or whatever he wants.
Don't go cheapo and just get him a sandwich. He'll thank you and give
you quite a bit more for dialog options.

Then you get him to tell you about his life, and you should be able to
determine that it really is him that you're looking for.

Thanks all....I will try to pester him more. :) I just was impatient,
this game has that effect on me. Waiting for the loading and
reloading and fighting and...
Thanks...
