[Fixed] Cutscene doesn't play after Nuclear Family quest (spoilers)

[1142]

Hey, so...
I have this problem with the end game. I completed the Nuclear Family quest, talked to Shaun and when he was supposed to die, the quest ended, I got experience, but the cutscene didn't play. In result, he keeps wandering his old room and I can't progress with the game (yes, he actually got out of his medical capsule and walks around).

I looked around google for answers but to my surprise, even 5 year old threads are without solution...
I tried disabling "Start me up" and reloading earlier save, but no luck. I hope someone has some fine solution to the issue. A console command maybe? Please help.

Have you validated game files? If so just ignore the rest of this post and move on. Otherwise...

STEAM 101:

When one encounters weird issues with any steam game always validate the game's files 1st. Files do get corrupted and it happens more often than we'd like to believe.

Right click Game name in Library ->properties->Local Files->validate game files.

That doesn't always work but in my experience it works often enough to make doing it well worth while.

Your issue with the quest completing, you getting experience but no cutscene indicates to me that the issue is with either an installed mod breaking something that prevents the cutscene from triggering or a corrupted file (which the validate files procedure will almost always fix).

EX. My son has been playing Mass Effect 2 lately. A similar issue to yours ocurred where when he completed a quest the game crashed to black. It drove him nuts. I told him for almost 3 weeks - just validate files. He eventually did and VOILA'. Problem resolved.

Hope this helps. I also searched the internet for your issue and just like you had no luck.

Hey, yes, I didn't mention it because I considered it obvious 1st move, sorry. No luck with it.

Alright I fixed it!
Turns out it was the AS Institute Workstations mod. It must have prevented the cell from editing after the quest. So the solution would be "disable institute altering mods". Figures.
