"Answers Come at a Price" Quest auto-failing upon receiving quest

[StickNardoragon]

Hi,
I just reached Garbage for the first time. I wanted to go to the Bandit camp and talk to the dude, but as soon as I took the quest from the commander, the quest auto-failed and said I had killed Chornozov.
Is there a reason for this? I have never been north in the map.

SO I tried taking the long way around and... it fails. The only way I have gotten it not to fail is to walk by the soldiers, have them yell at you, have them offer you double, and just ignore it. You miss out on their reward, which is a couple thousand coupons. I'm still really frustrated by it.

I never had a problem with that mission, be sure you bring 20,000 coupons to it though when ya talk to the leader, a simalar mission was in the original game too

I found that if I do the "kill the mutants" quest offered by the two soldiers then Chernozem auto fails. If I don't do this, the quest doesn't fail, but I cannot then go back and kill the mutants since they've moved on. I will try to go the long way around those two soldiers and see if that works...

I didn't do that side quest and it made no difference.

Did you skip it, or bypass it entirely? Like, did you encounter them and move on, or not see them at all? Because that made a difference for me. I had to specifically encounter AND ignore them. Going around so it didn't trigger resulted in the quest canceling.

I talked to them and moved on because I had no time at that moment, but I don't really see why this unrelated side quest should have any meaning to the main quest. However maybe the flag to cancel the side quest was accidentally set for the main quest too. Have seen stranger things in software.

I had the same bug - I chose talking to Chornozem, but as soon as the dialogue with Korshunov ends the quest fails, and if you walk down to where the captive bandit is supposed to be, there is only his(?) body.

I am not sure what precisely worked for me, but what I did was the following:

• I didn't walk inside The Ward's Outpost where Korshunov is located.
  
• Instead I circled around the oupost going to the left and walked to captive bandit's location before speaking to Korshunov.
  
• Spoke with the guards, but they didn't let me in.
  
• Went up the hill to Korshunov, said that I want to talk to Chornozem.
  
• Sprinted straight to captive bandit's location, not waiting for quests to update.

Maybe you don't have to the same things precisley, but this is what worked for me.

same here, BTW, would this lock you out of the nearby base entrance? the guard still stand in the gate blocking entrance after I clear the bandits...
