Rook family house / Salem (possible spoilers)
Ok, I'm currently in Salem Mass - the place is deserted. There's a couple of dead mirelurks in front of a house called "Rook Family House". Theres a lot of defenses, but no one in town.

Is there anything to do here? There's a locked basement door that requires a key. But otherwise it's a ghost town (not including the witchcraft museum outside of town, that was a good fight).

Got the same Problem. There should started a Quest with Barney Rook. But he isnt there for me. And the Quest did not appear/started. Hope Bethesda can fix this. I tried a few console commands but nothing worked.

Hey, just to point out. I came into Salem, cleared out the retirement home there, went to check the church since i saw those turrets and a terminal in the bell tower. So the house you are saying, ye, I came close and got the quest marker to kill those 3 mirelurks which I did and then it said to talk to Barney.. Only way I could do that was to jump over the electric fence, get on the roof and there he was...lying dead on the ground..
If you ask me, the character wasn't made quest essential, but I have no idea what could have killed him, there was a radiation storm at the moment when i visited but it didn't kill any other characters before. O.o weird

Just had the same issue. I used a console command to bring him back to life but when I talk to him, my character says something but he doesn't respond. Weird.

Ok so... I played around for a bit with the console trying to figure out how to reset the quest but I couldn't figure it out... I decided hell with it, i'll just loot him and head off for now. I grabbed the key off this dead body, resurrected him with the console in hopes it would fix itself later, and went down to the basement... where he was standing, alive. He is talking to me like normal now. Weirdest bug so far lol

On the PC the quest plays fine... Barney only lets you in after you have killed the 3 besieging Mirelurks... he should be alive and he asks you to engage the sentry posts that are offline (x5) - good luck ;-)

The mirelurks are dead in my game, and no barney to be found - dead or alive.

Being that it's salem, perhaps a link to salems lot - maybe a nighttime only thing?

Oh and the gate was also open too.

Same with me, Vodor - mirelurks are dead, no barney anywhere. Oh well, it's not like there isn't a mllion other things to do in the game! :)

I'm in the same boat as Vodor and Jaimi, 2 dead mirelurks and no barney plus the gate is already opened...

If there are supposed to be 3 mirelurks, maybe the last one has chased barney off somewhere and we just need to find him.

hi everyone, my barney was dead on the second floor and i killed the 3 mirelurks.

i took the key and ... nothink !

So, for end the quest in my pipboy i used the console.

First: take the ID of the quest --> DN08_Barney (write "sqt" in the console to get all the quest's ID)

Second: write "completeallobjectives DN08_Barney"

and then the quest is complete and finish.

Enjoy guys.

Hey, you could write the id Barney? Because I do it anywhere, any live or dead = (
I front of the mansion were already dead mirelurks, and the gate was opened and Barney nowhere. Even more strange is that I can not move Barney, through these console commands: "player.moveto" or "moveto player", I using id here:
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Barney_Rook
And it doesn't work =(((
Therefore, I would like to know id Barney out of your game. You could go to his house and see what his id?

I'm playing on the PC, and also had the gate-open-no-quest-dead-Barney issue.
Since he was already dead I couldn't talk to him to confirm, but I'm 99% sure he's a nod to the Burt Gummer character from the Tremors movies. Survivalist, basement "rec room", and in the first movie his wife was played by Reba, which is the name of his guns in the game.

Um ... how did you your post helps solve our problem?
You can look through the console Barney's id and was going to write it here?
