Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

Here's my first post, so congrats to myself!

Okay, I went to NCR and told the Rangers that I would kill the slavers and free the captives. After a brutal fight with just me and Sulik at around lvl 10, the slavers were wasted. I tried to open the cages several different times using just my hand, science, repair and lockpick and I still can't free them. Off the top of my head, my char's science is like 35%, high luck, strength, endurance, agility and intelligence. Why couldn't I open the pens? There's no requirements of any kind mentioned in Per's Walkthrough. Please help me here!

On a side note, I left NCR in frustration and headed north to buy my car since Sulik and I were on the verge of overloading our backpacks. I'm now heading towards New Reno for some quests before I head back to NCR. Hopefully the slaves don't depend on the slavers for their foods, or at least figure out how to eat dirt. When I come back to free them, will they still be alive, or will I liberate their skeletons?

Thanks for any help given!

I believe you have to use Science on that one, can't remember the requirements tho..

RE: Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

Yeah, I think you need a combination of lockpicking and science skill. I'm quite sure in fact. I can't remember the values off the to of my head though, though they are pretty low.

It's just a test, so you can try often. You'll even notice different message depending on the test you've possibly fail.

And no they won't die while you're gone. Well, I've never actually tried it but most scripts aren't that advanced in the game (though they could have been).
 
RE: Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

Thanks for the help. I haven't tried going back yet, but I have 28 skill points saved up. I'll go back and test out roughly what the needed science level is. I'll be sure to report back what it is if I find out.
 
RE: Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

It depends on your science skill,if my memorie dont fails i think it is 50% or 60%,not much.
I was thinking to that this game could be much more complex than it was made,could have a lot of scripts to make looks very real,there is a lot of things unfinished,that game could be a lot better,even in the time that was made...
 
RE: Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

Thanks for all the help. Here's an update on my journey.

So by the time I came back to help the slaves, I had both Sulik and Cassidy on my side for giving the baddys a triple wham-bang. I returned with 56 skill points saved up for allocation. I boosted my science up to 70%, but I still couldn't get the damned cages open. I then proceeded to raise my lock-picking up to 25%. After several tries on each computer thingies, I managed to open them all. Thanks for the help everybody!

I'm now returning from my sad trip to find my favorite hometown druggie dying by himself. Filled with rage, I plan on making my way to San Fran for info. The only problem is that not only am I filled with anger, all my inventories (self, two npcs and car!) are filled to the brim once again. Where can I find a good place to hock all my excess weaponry? Sulik and I are ninjas of the trade, and all Cassidy uses is shotgun ammo. Any suggestions? I'd hate to just leave all this stuff in a locker somewhere.

Thanks again
 
RE: Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

You have to be careful because of that inventory bug.

I would either dump a lot of stuff to the vendors in San Fran, who have some pretty good stuff, or the vendors in NCR. But you probably have too much, so another option is to find a place to store materials. I like using the BOS base at San Fran at this point in the game, or the raider hideout south of VC.
 
RE: Free the slaves in the NCR slave pen?

The best shops in the game are the San Fran shops,but you can take the bozars in NCR that for me are the best weapons,they really make a lot of damage,like 750 or more,very good weapon I say.And i usually got 1500 or 3000 of ammo,so its the best for me.You can sell your weapons in the San fran shops and you'll have a good money and great weapons to exchange.Or leave everything in SAD,its a good place to leave your things.
