Can't talk to Karl AT ALL

[HaveFun]

HELP! I'm on my quest to find what happened to Karl and I'm suppose to backtrack to The Den and can't, in anyway, initiate a conversation with him at all. I click the mouth icon and nothing happens... please I need help -- don't wanna backtrack again to create a new char just for this

Have you spoken to him previously? Is he unconscious? If you upset him before, try talking to him with a beer in your inventory, he'll pass out drunk, but will be talkative again when he wakes up. You can use your Doctor skill to wake him up immediately after he passes out, if your skill is good enough.

I think i just broke him. When i gave him money and he passed out, i stole the money back from him while he was unconcious. The game didn't recognize it at the the time but i talked to Karl way back, gave him money then stole the money back from him while he was down then I gtfo out of there. I guess this is why he was suddenly hostile when i met him the 2nd time to complete the quest... Is there any way to tell Jo that Karl is dead or something and still get the peaceful option for Modoc? Cause I can tell talking to him is impossible now that he's hostile.

So he's just attacking you? If he starts combat when sees you, try leaving the map after he triggers combat - don't fight - and reenter the map, and see if he resets. If that doesn't work, you'll either have to load a previous save, start a new game, or 'reset' him with a save editor.

EDIT - I tried replicating your situation and yeah, he becomes completely unresponsive. The only instant fix would be a save editor if you really want to talk to Karl and get the peaceful solution to the ghost farm.

Welcome to club, bud. Enjoy this ''classic'' and don't let the half-bake game ruin your blinded nostalgia.

I know this isn't helpful now but going into your next playthrough make sure you use multiple save slots, it still sucks if you have to reload from a much earlier point but it's still better than having to restart completely. That said the peaceful Modoc solution isn't that important in the grand scheme of things, but as a bit of a perfectionist myself I can understand your desire to resolve it.
