I'm still lost in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and I DIDN'T EVEN USE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CONSOLE, I JUST FOUND THE QUEST ITEMS BEFORE GETTING TO HIDDEN VALLEY.

None of these codes solved the issue, that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scribe just won't take the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ items. Which time is this, the 5th??? I never finished this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game or its DLCs because of broken ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like this.

I'm stuck in exactly the same spot with the same symptoms. I haven't previously used the console (wasn't even aware of it until I found this thread) but I suspect the issue might have been caused because I found and collected the Hepa filters before I started the Still in the Dark quest.

I have all three components in my inventory and the next stage shown on the quest log is to return to Elder McNamara but the only dialog option available is that I don't have all the components yet. (I also have the quest options to go to Hardin but was hoping to complete it via MacNamarra)

I've tried using the sqv command and get the following (apologies for any typos, I'm having to alt tab between windows):-
ScoutsFound=3
ComponentsFound=3
DiscoveredLorenzoJournal=0
FoundElderDataStoreTopic=1
FoundChainTopic=1
ToldAboutHolotapes=0
ToldAboutChain=0
ElderTopicUnlocked=1
ChainTopicUnlocked=1
LilyWaiting0
PCThirdPerson=0
--Quest state--
Running? Yes
Current Stage 0
Priority 55


Any idea what I need to do to get the option to give him the components? Any help would be apreciated.

Is that the correct value or was that a typo? It should be 30 if you're returning with the scout reports or 40 if you're getting the components.

Did you give McNamara the scout reports?

Do you need to talk to Lorenzo?

[FunkyDexter]

Thanks for the response.

Yes. Just double checked and Current Stage is definitely showing 0 so I guess that's problem. Is there a way of advancing it to 30?

setstage 15d79d 30
That's maybe a different quest.

The quest stage you gave was correct.

[FunkyDexter]

I tried that but it didn't work. The dialog options didn't change but checked using sqv and it actually advanced the current stge to 40, not 30. Was that expected? It also seemed to remove all the other flags and now only shows HepaFiltersFound 1 and ElderSettledState 0.

FYI, I definitely gave him the reports but I don't explicitly remember talking to Lorenzo. The log shows that greyed out, though, so I guess I did.

Did you try some of the previous suggestions?

Return to Elder McNamara with the three scouts' reports.
setobjectivedisplayed 15d79d 39 1
setobjectivecompleted 15d79d 39 1
setstage 15d79d 40

Speak to Senior Knight Lorenzo regarding the failing air filtration system.
setobjectivedisplayed 15d79d 40 1
setobjectivecompleted 15d79d 40 1

Return to Senior Knight Lorenzo with the components.
setobjectivedisplayed 15d79d 40 1
setobjectivedisplayed 15d79d 48 1
setobjectivecompleted 15d79d 48 0

If you can't talk to Lorenzo, stand next to him and enter this

Have just gone through and tried each of those in turn. Doesn't appear to have any effect at all.

Something slightly odd I did notice though. Reverting to a previous save game isn't changing the state of this quest. E.g. when I revert to old saves, SQV still gives the results as shown in post 28. It doesn't revert to the state given in post 24 which is what I'd have expected.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate the effort you're making.
