Resistance Is Futile-Old Soldiers Quest

[clueless]

Cant get the Old Soldiers " quest to start
i have walked everywhere in St George's Holm And Maidenholm
watched vidoes on the Internet..simply does not start for me
i know each game has maps generated a bit differently ..is it possible the quest can start anywhere on the game map?

No. The quest only exists on St. George's Holm.
In order to trigger this quest, you have to find and approach a large house with a wrought iron fence towards the street. There will be two signs next to the door saying "Veterans of the Great War" and "A war veteran lives here" respectively.
I wonder, have you checked your quest list?
I could of course be wrong but I have a feeling it is possible that you discovered the quest earlier and then forgot about it (it happened to me a couple of times).

thanks for your reply
i didnt discover the quest when i wrote the above post but eventually i stumbled upon the house
it took me hrs to find it..only quest i had trouble getting to start

i really struggled with the "you do know jack"achievement
took me all three characters to get it
i got 40 as Arthur,4 as Sally and 1 as Ollie
do you know if its possible to get all 45 as Arthur?

You can obtain all 45 shows as any character, even outside of the campaign (In Survival Mode) by simply looking at the TVs around Hamlyn Village.
However, you have to be really lucky because as you collect more and more shows, the odds of an "uncollected" show playing on the TV become lower and lower the more shows you collect. This means that the more progress you have on the achievement, the harder it becomes to gain more progress.

Based on information taken from www.trueachievements.com, the typical WWBC play schedule looks something like this:

• 07:00am - Wakey Wakey.
  
• 12:00pm - News Hour.
  
• 04:00pm - I hear you/Humor Hour/Play with Jack/Funny old Customs.
  
• 07:30pm - Well, well, well/That tastes amazing/Famous britons.
  
• 10:30pm - Nighty Night.

(Note that Humor Hour can sometimes also play at 07:30pm)

There are 45 shows in total, consisting of:

• 6 different "I hear you" shows
  
• 10 different "News Hour" shows
  
• 3 different "Humor Hour" shows
  
• 3 different "Funny old customs" shows
  
• 3 different "That tastes amazing" shows
  
• 4 different "Well, well, well" shows
  
• 5 different ""Wakey Wakey" shows
  
• 7 different "Nightty Night" shows
  
• 2 different "Famous Britons" shows

You just have to find a TV that is located in a good position and just grind down the shows until you get all 45.

one last question(dont hold me to that :)) )
i have played through Arthur's Story and Sally's...still in the middle of Ollie's
i have intentionally killed no one so far
i am reading on the net that the Saint Achievo should have popped after Arthur's quest
didnt get it so far
will it pop after i finish Ollie with no kills or is there a glitch?

Thanks Again

In order to get the "Saint" achievement, you must play through all three chapters (Act 1/Arthur, Act 2/Sally and Act 3/Ollie) without ever directly killing anyone in any of those chapters.
Based on your words, if you are in the middle of Ollie's story and still haven't killed anyone by this point, you should unlock the achievement once you complete Ollie's story with no kills.

As for why people claim that the achievement should unlock after Arthur's story, I suspect that the reason for that is probably because it did so in earlier builds but that no longer applies.

I hope this helps you.

Unfortunately yes. Unless you are willing to use console commands to cheat it (and even then I am not sure if it would work), you cannot get back into Thomasina house once you complete the sidequest and leave the building.
