Hostile with shady sands

[Dax]

So, I ran into Shady Sands with a knife, not really paying any mind to their request to holster as I had no idea how to do that.

They then promptly went hostile and I ran off and cleaned out vault 15.

I came back and noticed they were still hostile.

Am I just screwed here? I'm gonna want to do the shady sands quests and stuff, but am I really then doomed to restart the whole game?

Please tell me there is a way.

Yes, you are in fact doomed unless you reload a save to before Seth's folks took offense of you wielding a weapon. Now, you can either use a save editor to disable global variable 246 for "enemy with Shady Sands", but you may also have to do the same for all the NPCs there… or reload a save. Pick your poison!

You can holster a gun by pressing the B key while the other item slot in your inventory is empty, it's a trick and hint I got from another source just in case I have to fight out of a sticky situation.

Already restarted and I'm past it now, thanks for the tip about just hitting B :)

Go, take a knife and run outside. If someone tells you to put it away, just keep going. Go ahead, do it. Funny how this old game got it right and all these new games let you run around with assaultrifles in town and no one says something.

Indeed, very nice touch. Put my weapons to better use in the radscoprion cave!

I don't know about that. In Witcher 3 you can't have your weapon drawn or the guards will attack and citizens will freak out. In GTA 5 cops attack you if you draw weapons and citizens freak out. It's a pretty normal mechanic in rpgs. You run around with holstered weapons here.
