Bugs

 * If you tell Hannibal to wait until after you kill the slavers at the Lincoln Memorial, his band may depart and wander the wasteland without occupying the Memorial. Hannibal's group will keep wandering with no apparent objective.  Fast travelling to his location is impossible, as the group will have moved on long before you arrive.  Make sure to remove all booby traps like grenades and tripline death traps to trigger completion of mission.


 * After telling Hannibal that Caleb is ready. You go to the Monument and he will not be there. This is because he can fall through the ground near the monument. After he falls he will not return.


 * Check for Hannibal NE from the Monument you will see the sign "Metro Station" if he and his group is not there you can do the following if you have the PC version. Open the console with ^ then type prid 000239DD followed by moveto player and Hannibal should be right next to you.


 * After waiting for Hannibal and he DOES arrive at the monument, sometimes he will have no body and only his head and arms are visible. The same goes for the Mason worker.


 * after completing the mission: head of state, when you return and talk to hannibal, and say goodbye, he wil keep saying bye over and over again (PS3)


 * This player did not arrive until after installing the Pitt on this particular playthrough. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, however, Hannibal Hamlin is not wearing Combat Armor, but what looks to be the Neural Interface Suit given for Operation: Anchorage, however, it could be just off colored recon armor?
