Quest problems -Help

I'm trying to get "Note to McTavish" to hand into Sheriff Daisy before confronting Brygo. When I go to the intercom there's no answer. I am also trying to get the adoption paper from the Patriarch's Mansion, I've seen its location on a YT video but its not there for me, what gives?

The adoption papers are a perception check; if you don't see them then your perception isn't high enough (at the same spot is also a second "thing", which needs even higher perception).

Did you get the info for MacTavish's involvement from Faran Brygo or did you just go to him like that? 'cause I can imagine if you didn't get the tip before, that he might not be "available" for visitors. (I always had the tip, never tried it otherwise, so don't know what would happen...)

Thanks for the perception tip. I was reading that you should tackle McTavish before you fight / arrest Brygo. That made me reluctant to go up the stairs and speak with him, but as your comment says, it's Brygo that gives me the tip. I can now progress. Thanks!

I thought I was done with this. I think my game went a little crazy? I have a feeling I wasn't supposed to be able to get into the machine shop until the quest was active? iirc there's an intercom outside the machine shop and another inside the shop to. I was able to enter, thus skipping the first intercom. I think this broke the quest for me.

I even battled the people inside and tried throwing grenades at the door where McTavish is. Everytime I try that it just changes interaction to the intercom and so I can't just break the door down.

the order in which I did it was to go to the casino, talk to Brygo's assistant, Charley Knowes, who sends you to MacTavish's shop, then you go there, fight his guys, and do the intercom. You have to click on either the intercom itself or the door to initiate it, I forget which.

omg i was broke! i couldn't pay Ken Doll. Once you pay him I then ask Charley and he tells you about McTavish.

You can also threaten Boulder and he tells you. I think you need some level of Hard Ass for that. Skills
