Using only a humongous installation and the installer version of the RP2.1.2b, I had a problem with quests disappearing from the Pip-Boy (sorry - no save-games). The circumstances were as follows: At The Den, after kicking the thieves in the balls till each did a face-plant, I completed Becky’s quests and then Mom’s and Frankie’s quests. I had also gotten the quests for Smitty’s car part and Anna’s Locket. In all, the Pip-Boy showed a list of ten quests, and the car part quest was #10. I saved my game while standing in front of Lara before talking to her for the first time. After getting Lara’s first quest, I checked the Pip-Boy and there were still only 10 quests, and the quest to get the car part was gone. Sorry guys, but tasks disappearing from the Pip-Boy constitutes an unplayable game, and since I’m still trying to get through the game for the first time (including quests), I’ve reinstalled the game and the RP2.1.1 and save-games.
In RP2.1.1, following my interpretation of Per’s walkthrough, I used what I thought was logic to make what appears to be the drastic mistake of going to the Enclave as soon as I could, not realizing that “beating the game” would also prevent me from doing any further quests from npc's such as Stark in Vault City (I had only scouted a route to NCR). Is this a bug also? Sorry but I don’t know if quest lockouts are normal after completing the main quest or not.
