Sarah Bugged!

[Wino711]

The mission, "Memoriam" Sarah wanted to go to Mermoriam of her fallen commrades. Then she said that she had something to talk to me about at the waterfalls. I met her there later and she didn't have any new dialogue. Now she won't follow me and neither will any of the other npc's. I can't finish the quest. Anybody know of a fix for this. I'm too far along to start over and I got tired of trying to get her to pick up quest again so any save is not there anymore.

i got the same bug.

i found this workaround - didnt work for me (tried 2 times).

this is kinda gamebreaking - i cant finish my companion quest and i cant even have another companion.

fix it, bathesda - fix it fast.

i figured out a workaround based on this reddit topic, especially the post ov ev0lution:

Get Sarah to the lodge. For me, it needed a combination of assigning and unassigning her from my ship, sleeping, and taking off and landing again (not fast travelling from the ship).

Start the conversation with her. She should say her first few lines and then start walking out. Your camera will be stuck.

While your camera is stuck, let her leave the lodge. This takes about 10-20 seconds. You might be able to see from your glitched camera POV when she has gone through the door.

Once she has left the lodge, use the console command movetoqt. This should teleport you outside to the memorial, where she should appear, and you should be able to continue the dialogue and the quest as normal. (It's important to let her leave the lodge otherwise movetoqt will just teleport you to the lodge door)

movetoqt conesole command will not disable achievements afaik - so its a pretty neat workaround.

Or just load an older save. Should always have at least 10 saves on any bethesda game.

although you are right, that doesn't help, if your last save is hours ago, like in my case - especially when u aren't sure it wont outcome the way it already did.

so thanks for your cheap advice, but everybody spending hours to search for a solution may have already considered that.

It's just common sense to save often and have many backups.

Thanks dem.lich, I will try this and see if it works! I've tried everything else. And I do save a lot, the problem was that I spent so long trying to get the quest to work that I got frustrated and wanted to play the game some, thinking it might fix itself eventually after so many getting out of the game, sleeping for many hours, continually going back to the lodge and trying to talk to her and assigning and unassigning her, that I just gave up. But, with that said, a lot of time has gone by and I could not find any save that would take me back to the Memoriam or waterfall.
