Kids stealing stuff at the den

[rolypoly]

The wiki doesn't mention any way, but is there some way to get them to go away? I don't even know what they are taking from my inventory.

Found the perfect tip for this online - start combat, run through, end combat.

If they do happen to steal from you, you can buy it back from the merchant flick. Or before you approch the child, enter combat and use your ap to walk past them.

You can kill them or you can do a quest to get rid of them, but you need the restoration project patch.

Get restoration project. With this mod u will get rid of them.

Just use bombs against them:
1. Activate a bomb;
2. Let a kid steal a bomb;
3. Have a fun.

The Restoration Project gives you a quest to solve the issue.


You can also just kill them.

You do, you get a negative perk. it's pretty severe depending on how you want to play the game. Some of the recruitable NPCs won't follow you, and Vault City won't allow you to become citizen.

The best way I've found, like I said above, is to activate combat before getting too close, then run through while in-comebat (this won't allow them to steal), then you can deactivate combat. Works like a charm.

The Den is a lawless hellhole. Killing near guards or in bars will get you attacked but you can murder people in the street and get away with it.

You can also marry that guy's daughter in Modoc, then murder her in front of the whole church (and him) immediately after the ceremony, nobody will bat an eyelash because she's then your companion, then immediately speak to him where he will casually inquire about his daughter's well being, and you can tell him she's dead which gives him a heart attack.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I need to try that. :pogchamp:

Another solution is simply to stash all your loot (including your secondary weapon) with your companion(s) (ex. Sulik - if you brought him). They never steal from your companions.
This is, btw, also an easy solution for bringing drugs and other prohibited substances into Vault City.

oh they took my electronic lockpick and I noticed when I was in the toxic cave. Wanted to buy it back from Flick. Didn't have it. Made me mad, killed him. Killed all kids that could have stolen it. Gone. Just gone. Very frustrating.
I don't feel bad about it. If the game doesn't give you the option to talk to the kids that steals from you if you noticed it, then I feel no remorse to kill them .. in this playthrough.

If you think that's bad, kids (including these ones) were made invisible in the European version of the game so that players couldn't kill them.

I remember vividly wasting my time trying to figure out what was the deal with the "ghosts of Klamatt", because I kept seeing weird floating text with no speaker in sight. Then I got to the Den, and noticed somewhat miraculously that some of my stuff was disappearing. Good thing I looked it up on the internet and managed to put two and two together...

There's a joke about it somewhere in the game, actually, in one conversation you can have.
