(Gamebreaking bug) Fort hagen.

[PaleSoul]

This is a spoiler for completely new players.

So i went to fort hagen to find kellogg, i went through everything found the right path and now i'm in the room just before confronting him, but the security door is locked, normally he speaks to you and unlocks the door but not in the play through? What the hell do i do? I tried to tcl through the door but he just stand idle, this is legit blocking me from progessing in the game. Please halp ;-;

- Yes i did try to google, i coulden't find anyone with the same problem.
- No, i'm not gonna delete my entire game just because that ''Might'' fix it.

So he legit never talked to me through the entire play through.
Welp just used the killall command, i guess that will have to do even though i missed out on dialoge.

Go back to a previous savefile. Let Dogmeat lead you there. Once you and the dog arrive try again. See if you get to trigger the dialogue this time. Chances are you've skipped a step or two in your current play-through and that's why it fails for you.

Could be why but i was too impatient so i just kept playing, either way thanks, will use it in a future playthrough if i get the bug again.

I understand your reason to keep on playing BUT using the console to force advance a quest is extremely dangerous. It may not happen immediately, but the chance that your save will be borked at a later time is very high. This forum is full of threads started by players who have consoled their way through a quest and are now faced with a game that has hit a wall and refuses to advance.

This is just a heads up, nothing more, but I thought you should know in case you're tempted to do this again.

It's a good call though considering the effect this quest has on the main story line. You don't want to mess this up.

Thanks for the advice, i know it might bug something but my save was just to try other endings. If it was my main save i would have played everything over again.

Did we ever solve this? I was having the same problem today and it's so annoying, I really want to hear Kellog speak.

I can complete it with commands a little safer, by advancing the quest and then complete it
I just really don't want to. the Kellog storyline is so good and I really want to experience it to the fullest.

Sadly not, ended up using cheats to even finish that, i used tlc to fly into him and then the kill command on him and too the parts i needed, then i used tlc to get outside just before the brotherhood of steel shows up. It will only ♥♥♥♥ up that part of his story line, not anything else.

Hope this helped.

Ah that sucks, thanks for the conformation though, i appreciate it.

other shortcut is stand next to the door and teleport to the other side. I done it with cheat terminal

I know this post is old but there is a good chance more people will encounter this in the future (I just did). So, I found a solution using the power armor wall clip trick. Approach the door that is now shut, turn left to the wall and perform the trick as shown in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGPVfZt_mL4&ab_channel=CruzCastillo). After going through the wall you can make your way to the right around the outside of the building and walk back into the room with all the desks and computers. Once there, just do the same trick on one of the shut doors to that room, and boom, you're back in the hallway you were trying to access.
