I see what u mean about the drug deal, just did that. I didn't realize all the drugs were in the crates either.
So my character has high charisma so I was able to pass all the speech checks with that woman ghoul, and I got it so she gave me her password etc and let her live. But every single time afterwards the bartender guy would try to kill her. He only had a knife and she's packin a machine gun. Needless to say she smoked him. So I'm thinking, maybe there is a way they can both live. I reloaded like ten times, just watching them two fight it out, sometimes he'd get smart and pick up a gun from a dead body, take cover and fire. But he always died. So finally I reload and I just stand in his way while she runs off. I block him for a while until finally dialogue enters. Seems like he's decided to leave town anyway. Ok. Well at least I got them both to live. My question is you had to barter some kind of 50/50 or 70/30 deal? Between who? That never came up for me.
