(Fallout 2) Lost Navicomputer part, am I doomed?
I realize this is mostly due to my own stupidity, but I desperately need an answer.
The problem is I lost the part you put in the navigational computer, on the tanker, the one you get in Vault 13. I did vault 13 wayyyyyyyyyyy back then, and have positively picked it up at the same time as the GECK. But now I cant find it.
I checked the inventory of the whole party, EVERY merchant in the game to see if they had it, no luck...
Then remembred I had Goris when I picked up the thing, and I stocked it in his inventory. Thing, Goris died in a random encounter sometimes after (the kind where its just a few mutants that apear and try to kill you, so it doesnt stay on the world map), and I just left his corpse to rot in the sun of the Wasteland since I was fed up with the dramatic "throw my cloak" animation that takes an hour. I didnt remeber giving him stuff at the time, and calmly left.
Sooooooooo... here I am, fully prepared to kick Enclave arse, with a power-armored team and a tanker full o' gas... and a stupid stupid computer that refuses to go because some stupid part rots on a Deathclaw scholar's body somewhere unreachable.
Am I doomed? is there any way to "force" the game to go forward? to ducplicate the item? I spent lots of hours on this character and doing it all over again for such a stupid mistake just to experience the ending would be...

to say the least.
Big thanks in advance for any answers.
