Hope?

[Larry]

So, i'm on the third wasteland. Before this I was given a side mission from Hope when she was held captive by Gutgash but the mission required me to go through The Jaw in order to get to the objective. I got through the Jaw, met up with Pinky Eye but during the mission there was Hope! She was in chains and just randomly held prisoner by someone who wasn't Gutgash in a totally different zone. When Max sees her she just says "Tell me about it." and that's all that's said.

Am I missing something here? I've pretty much done 100% of the first two wastelands and never was it explained what happened to Hope. She was just there for no reason and when going back to Gutgash's stronghold she's not in her cage and nothing is ever referrenced to it even the bio is the same and leaves it at her being held captive by Gutgash.

I've not finished her side quest yet(It's all the way north, well past Pinky's stronghold so why would I pass up visiting the stronghold to do the side quest?) so wtf? Is this a bug or do I need to finish her side quest to make sense of this?

You can go back to Gutgash and even though he doesn't have a mission, you can walk up to him and Max asks about the girl, to which Gutgash replies: "She was part of a trade".

So it's not a bug, it's just an odd timing. It's like they expected you to do some exploring before going to Pink Eye.

I walked up to him for a brief moment thinking I could interact with him but there was no option so I walked away. I guess I just have to stand next to him or something.

Well, at least it's not a bug but just poorly explained. The way it was portrayed it felt like I missed a very important piece of information about what happened to her plus Max didn't seem to give a damn and neither did Hope. Disappointing but at least it's somewhat, although rather poorly, explained.

Yeah it's not well explained. I just stood next to Gutgash and Max asked. It's poorly explained for sure.
You can also go to other strongholds and do the same for the other leaders. Sometimes you'll get a little extra info. Typically useless info though honestly. Gutgash and Pink Eye seem to be the ones with that trivial info. Jeet and the others don't really have any info.

I was wondering about this too, you get a mission from her to go the tunnels and suddenly she appears there as if im supposed to know how she is there

You first see Hope at Gutgashes's, as you know. After meeting Pink Eye's you will find Hope in Gas Town, in a Cell/cage on the left of the Outcrier. After you win the Gas Town Race you will then find her at Deep Friah's Temple.

I never saw Hope in the tunnels...and while you are doing the War Wagon side mission Hope escapes...remember in the cut scene Max threw down the fan...they used it to escape Gutgash ..it is mentioned in a later cutscene that she used the fan to unlock the cage.

True, but Hope didnt escape, her daughter did with help of a 3rd person we didnt see.

Yes...she did escape and made it or recaptured and taken to Pinkeyes' stronghold...Stankgum then takes Hope to Gastown. Glory was taken to the dunes area by the 'old man' we later find dead...I'm guessing he was going to bring her to that underground rail car place that Max said was perfect for hiding place.
