Delamain quest Epistrophy "The Glen" with suicidal car

[Jack Ryan]

So I arrived at the quest location and found the car not far from the bridge and near a place where it could drive off in the water.

Arriving on the place, the car asks if I'm here to kill it, and V responds "no, just to reset you".

To this it answers: "Guess I'll just have to do it myself then." and drives off the raillings into the water, killing itself.

Was I supposed the hack it to force it to halt itself? Or use the control hack to lead it back?
Delamain also said that he took control back and that he thanked me but... The car is deep underwater and can't move anymore xD

He paid me still even, and V said that he needed to show it some love, but it kind of feels too late, what with the car having off'ed itself already.

It used to let you at least talk to it before 2.0.

I figured out that if I exit the vehicle before approaching it, it lets you talk. Funny change, I never saw it drive off the edge before, so I was a bit surprised.

[Hidden Gunman]

Dont know what happened, but for me it gets stuck and doesnt end up in the drink.

Must of been a bug. Its not supposed to go into the water; just stops on the edge.

If you've got a mod that improves auto handling, that seems to do it. His acceleration is enough he goes through the railing and into the drink instead of stopping. I had this problem and I disabled the mod and it worked right again.

Fun thing, i returned to replay the game, i knew one car was riding around so i always used to jump on it and wait until it stops and i thought its that car you talked about so i jumped on it and then i died cuz it drove off and "commited suicide"

Happened to me in vanilla too.

Just did that very quest the other day and used the same line.
After it saying "Guess I'll just have to do it myself then.", I had a choice of replies and it submitted. Could you have waited too long to reply? Don't remember being a reply timer on that one.

Thought I had this when getting to close to the car, but can not remember it well, doing those car chases in a rush. I only hated ONE, but the way it speaks made me smile for a bit, until....

It could very well be that. Don't remember ever getting real close to the vehicle. A bit like the way you would react to a suicidal person.

I know is old but just to confirm if anyone in future needs.

Yes, it's intended for it to kill itself if you don't approach him fast enough.

If you approach him and keep near his front door, you can talk and save it.

This definitely isn't intended though, the dialogue confirms it, they just go on as if the car was recovered properly. Just had this happen to me, it just drove itself off the cliff, but quest completed, money received, talked as if it just drove away.

You can complete the quest but pushing it into the river.

Still positive outcome and Delamain says things are going "swimingly".

After the car jumped off, Padre called and said he was disappointed in me. Tried redoing the gig - same result. Idk wtf Padre has to do with it since it was a Delamain gig

[Solomon Birch]

I just encountered this. The only way I found around it to get the full dialogue was to park the Mackinaw in front of him. When he drives forward it will push you off, bail out into the water and walk back up.
