I have ran into several problems with the game:

1)  My characters fail to detect a safe in Ugly's office.
    I have been trying very hard to make it see the damn thing
    by using perception skills,without much success.  I know
    that it's there because the clue book I bought said so.
    How can I make my characters see it so that I can open it?

2)  I have the VISA card on me but I could not give it to
    Head Crusher!  I found Head Crusher in a bar (around the
    bathroom)  I have been wondering around him in vain to
    try to give him the card.  I stood next to him and put
    Use Item, Visa card--that didn't work.  I went on the
    empty seat there to try the same thing but it says,
    "Nothing happened" or somthing like that.  In any case
    I cannot give the damn card to him.  How can I give him
    the VISA card.

3)  Since the above two failed me, I wondered around NEEDLES
    and found a BLOOD STAFF after killing the blood priest.
    It's a real one because I had it verified--the other ones
    are crounched up.  Now I tried to give it back to the bishop
    in the temple located at the bottom right corner of NEEDLES,
    but I can't give it to him.(via USE ITEM--BLOOD STAFF)  I
    can't even get next to him!  It just kept on saying, "Stay
    off the alter" or whatever, not allowing me to get next to
    the guy.  Am I suppose to give the guy the blood staff or
    what?  If I'm suppose to give him the staff, how may I do so?

4)  Please advise me on who are the good characters.  I currently
    have my four chosen one + the MAYOR + ACE + the women-Christina.
    I notice that another character is also willing to join the party,
    he is found in the Vegas jail--the COVENANT.  Now this guy is
    talented!  Anyway who are characters to have on the team?

5)  I remember a while back someone was talking about some kind of
    cave in the game that shows your progress in the game.  Where's
    this cave.

6)  Thanks in advance for your time.
