• ps3 xbox360 For some reason, he sometimes lacks any items or caps in his shop inventory, even after a supplier has been found. ^[verified]
• pc xbox360 A bug can occur when you try to speak to him that will cause the camera to zoom in as if you were going to speak to him but no dialogue options are available and then the camera will zoom out as if dialogue has ended even though you have not spoken to him. There is currently no known way to fix this. On the PC version pressing tab will fix the bug until the player tries to speak to him again. ^[verified]

• ps3 It is possible to not receive XP points even if you pass the Speech check (60) with Fitz. ^[verified]
• pc It is possible to have the food additive stuck in your inventory, with Farber's dialogue options remaining as if the quest is still going, even after fixing the food processor and making a deal for meat. ^[verified]
• pc ps3 xbox360 Farber will indirectly misgender female characters by stating that they 'look like a man that shook him down'. ^[verified]
