After all these years there are still quest bugs.

[Ill_Murda_U]

I'm currently in the process of playing through the game for the first time and still have to notice that after all these years there are quest bugs that don't let you complete certain quests.

I really like the game itself, even if I find some of the design decisions like finding the inhibitor containers to improve the character annoying and bad game design. But I think it's really weak on the part of the developers that there are still quest bugs so many years after release.

Elaborate, because I don't have any issues with Quests.

The Foster Family quest is bugged.

If you accept the quest before you have cleaned the water tower and talk to the boy, he will ask you if you can eliminate all the zombies upstairs. If you now clean the water tower and unlock the water tower as a hiding place, there are no longer any zombies in the area and the quest stops because your goal is still to kill the zombies but there are no more zombies there. I can't continue the quest.

I've now tested this and tried to repeat the steps exactly with the same result. Quest is bugged.

When I search for this bug on the internet I find several posts with exactly the same problem. Many posts are from 2022 so the problem seems to have existed for a long time.

Poor performance from the developers that this bug has still not been fixed.

Another one of those "It doesn't happen to me so it must not be happening" people.

You contributed absolutely nothing to the conversation. Congratulations.

Because every choice you make here
shapes the future...
irreversibly

Remember this?
You chose a way that will block / erase a follwoing quest.
That is not a bug, that is what you chose.

If you clear the Fisheye Metro before the Renegades side quest, you will loose Rats in the House and Time to Kill.
Just another example.

Sorry aber was laberst du für kacke XD.

It's definitely a bug and nothing else. You are welcome to take the trouble and test the quest yourself. A simple search on Google is enough to find people with the same problem on Reddit.

The boy is below the water tower, have you tried speaking with him again? I was able to complete the quest.

yes, I tried. My current quest goal is still to clean the tower. But there are no more Zombies there after I activated the outpost.

Just ran into this myself. Cleared and gave the tower to a faction before I found the quest. I managed to solve it by exiting to the main menu while inside the search area for the quest (for me that was the area below ground where the kid is and the objective was to clear the infected) and then continuing the campaign. Upon loading back in at the water tower I went below ground to the kid and the objective updated.

Hope this helps!
