Thinned Blood/Replanting a Lily issue
When talking to Vandal after releasing Lily, I'm given the following dialogue choices:

1. Persuade (which leads to telling a story, but Humanity's higher than 4 so it doesn't work)
2. Tell him I don't need his blood.
3. See what I can do to set things straight.
4. Offer money right away.


I've tried several combinations of dialogue, but when I get the 1xp for "taking care of Vandal", "Replanting a Lily" doesn't activate at all, not even when I talk to him at his booth with the proper dialogue option.

How to get the 1xp and activate the quest? Only way is through low Humanity?

Are you playing with the Unofficial Patch plus? Only it adds this option...

Yup, 9.1. Trip's drug quest worked fine, and that's also from Plus, right?

Yes, so what dialogue options do you get when you talk to him again? Also what is the value of G.Vandal_Plus if typed into the console?

Loaded up the save to try the combinations.

- If I go for option 3, dialogue for "Replanting a Lily" plays out. I can accept (trigger the quest) or go for the money (+1xp). If I go for the money, talking to him later (in the booth) doesn't get the Quest to appear in the Quest Log.

- If I go for option 4, same thing happens. I get the xp but not the quest when talking to him later.

What exactly does he say when you talk to him later? What answers can you give?

If I gave him money right away, later at his booth I get the option to buy blood or "Say, where do you get your blood from?", which takes me to the dialogue of "Replanting a Lily", but even if I say "Fine, I'll check the Asylum", the quest doesn't activate.

If I accepted "Replanting a Lily" during the dialogue after freeing the girl, at the booth he simply says "Blood don't grow on trees" and my only dialogue option is "I'll go find someone".

Ah, I found an issue there and fixed it!

This is like it is supposed to be...

Oh, I know, I just wanted to be thorough with the details. I'm relieved you found the issue! Thanks, man!
The "telling a story" worked for me - with 7 on Humanity. What you need to do is telling the most brutal story. First, be the attacker (robbing a liquor store or something similar), follow up some extra violence (was threathened with beating), and finished with the most bloody one (fell into a sharp object, twenty-six times).

Vandal Cleaver has a file in Arthur Kilpatrick's Crime-puter, and there is a few other hint telling us, that she is not just a ghoul of Therese Voerman, but a psychopath. She is not in the favor of goody two-shoes.

Edit: By the way, I played it on GoG, with their available unofficial patch. Maybe worth mentioning, as I don't know if it would be compatible with the Steam version.
