Bugged mission? Happy Together?

[Erra]

I go in, talk to the guy, he seems okay.
Mission says to check on him a few hours.
Go back when it notifies me it's time to check on him - He's dead...

I know you can successfully do this mission somehow. is it just bugged or what?
Are you supposed to do something else in the time it says "check on Barry in a few hours" ?

Is this just yet another bug? bugged mission?

Theres a optional objective to look at a memorial, did you do that?

Nope. and no optional objective was ever listed in the two playthroughs/characters i've done the mission on.

Is that the victory condition?

I just did that mission, when you have to speak to the cops it will say optional under it, to check out a memorial. I did that.

Didn't experience any bugs with it. Don't wanna spoil anything but it worked out the path i chose.

Yeah. I never get an optional objective listed. it has always said "check on barry in a few hours." Absolutely nothing else.

it may been your choices on the mission or you could try going to sleep, i also had that but like i said, it wasn't until it said, speak to the cops the optional one showed.

I spoke to them after. where you tell Mendez he's being a ♥♥♥♥ basically.
Then i stayed close to the area, did jobs next to megablock. That way when it says to check on him, i was able to quickly zip over.

I'm thinking there's a bug that it's failing to tell me the optional objective.

[Ricky]

i didn't experience any problems, thats all i can say and tell you at which point it gave me the optional.

again there is choices so it may just be your choice, rather than jumping to conclusion everything is bugged, i'd maybe consider that.

I've googled how the quest is supposed to go, and i'm on my second playthrough of the game.
I'm not jumping to conclustions. I'm simply saying I'M NOT GETTING THIS OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE LISTED in my journal.

it doesn't matter, according to multiple wiki's'/game guides found on google, what dialogue options you pick for him, and you tell the cops Mendez is being too hard on him. Then it simply says "wait a few hours." Nothing else optional. no other objectives listed.

It isn't bugged it's a very great feature.
You just didn't realy care enough about him and his story and only hit the "yellow" questions instead of doing some smalltalk with the "blue" questions.

This quest reveals who is realy into roleplaying games and realy use all the talking possibilities instead of just the typical "rush through" gamer who skips most parts, fast forward everything and only hit the yellow sentences (and in the end they cry missions don't have a different outcome).
Devs did a great job with this mission

[Ricky]

and you're doing a good job with talking to yourself.
if its bugged they'll fix it. maybe try report it in a place that isnt a "general chat forum"

as i said in previous post it isn't bugged. People just rush through and miss out on gamechanging stuff. if they would have just slowed down and actually care about the characters and listen carefully they would have got the different outcome of most missions.
So much stuff unlocks with smalltalk but people just dont care about it and only hit the highlighted story stuff

I didn't rush... lol. If i wanted to rush this mission, i wouldn't have even picked it up on my second playthrough. It's not like it gives anything other than money for doing it.

And none of the game guides online say anything about the blue conversation options.
I did, however, assume the yellow conversation options were the only relevant ones. Since that's usually how the game works. You're assuming I didn't care about the mission, or it's narrative. That's false. Hence why i've tried it another time, and why i'm even posting about it.

So you can take that elsewhere. But thanks for the info, i guess?

Well. was hoping for more information from other players before I made a bug report. But. so much for that.

you have to the blue option not just the yellow otherwise he kills himself if you only did the yellow then mission not bugged you just picked the wrong options
