cannibal bbq?

[snuggleform]

I got a radio message from someone who needs rescuing from there, but I never saw any civilians to rescue. The holding pen in the back is empty. Do you have to attack the cowboys straight away to save someone? And what is the reward?

The reward is a power armor but you kinda have to accept the cannibals invitation (we don't have to eat) and find runaways for them.

Personally, i just kill them right away to get the goat cannon.

No, you really didn't answer my question. I'm aware of the quest for the power armor that requires you to be friendly with the cowboys, but I'm asking about rescuing the people on the radio. Is there a way to do so? If you go in guns blazing can you rescue people? The pen in the back is empty where I expect trapped people to be.

I have gone straight in guns blazing and never found anyone to rescue.
I have gone in and done their quest too.

The thing with this game is that it is entirely possible that there could be someone there if you had made different choices previously.
Purely hypothetical but say when you sort out the hostage situation in the bizarre area you chose not to send the refugees to town. Maybe then they are captured and now getting eaten and in the cages.
I have only this play-through chosen the option to tell them they cannot go to town. My previous games have all sent them to town. So while what I am saying is very unlikely to be correct and it is probably just a half finished(designed/implemented) encounter, with this game you just never know. I keep coming across conversation options I swear were not there on previous games.

I think many people are just over-thinking things and need to accept there are oddities in much of the game (probably not fully fleshed out due to time constraints) and move along.

Asking a question isn't overthinking. People love to cast aspersions, is what I've been finding on the forums.

The person who called you is the person who's on the spit.

So no, no survivors.

I didn't realize that, how did I miss it? Is the name on the spit if you hover over it?

No, but the head honcho implies it was a gal and the corpse looks female.

1 + 1 = 2 for me.

And while there's no name on the corpse, it evidently smells disturbingly delicious :P

That's more like 0.75 + 0.75 rounding up to 2. That's circumstantial, half the population is female so couldn't it be by chance?

possibly, but since as you said yourself there's no survivors present one has to assume the worst in the waste.
