Another Beyond the Beef problem.
I hate this engine so much *sigh*

I have a problem with Beyond the Beef that apparently combines two different bugs: Ted stays in combat mode after exposing Mortimer, and after the speech, the quest mark simply disappears and I can't finish the quest by taking Ted back with his father. I've tried waiting an hour for Ted to exit combat mode, I've traveled to North Vegas Square, and I still can't finish this quest.

Does anyone knows a console command to finish the quest? I guess I might lose some reputation gain but oh well.

Try type this on the console - "Setstage 0010D2C6 90"

Pleasd try not to make a blame on the game's engine itself for everything. In most cases, it's usually the developer's poor attempt to create a script that which break stuff and causing all sorts of troubling bug.

Gamebyro engine is old, but "old" doesn't necessarily mean it's "outdated". It's still a powerful game engine. All the infamous bug and stuff that's not working correctly are the resultant of developers having no idea what they are doing.

That won't work. It's an objective, not a stage.

If you don't have the objectives...
"Get Ted back to his father if he is still alive."

"Talk to Heck Gunderson."

"Return Ted to his father at the Ultra-Luxe's Top Shelf bar."

If you still can't talk to Heck...
This should force Heck to talk to you and you should be able to finish the quest from there.

Try this to finish it if that doesn't work.

Had the same issue, wiki says to exit the casino and fast travel to the strip gate in freeside and then walk back.

Works for me
