Hub of the Problem? More like Basement of Confusion!

[Kefke_Wren]

I honestly reloaded my save more times than I care to admit because I thought that something had broken in the Vault-Tec basement. It's very clever what you have to do, but if you just happen not to look at the right part of the room and see that a normally non-interactable object has a prompt, you can wind up stuck and thinking something bugged out. The problem here is that you get no feedback from Jake, which makes him seem broken.

What I'd suggest is just adding a couple lines of dialogue here. Preferably one for when you poke him normally, just to know that his AI is still working, and definitely some kind of response for when you've found the holotape that gives you a nudge in the right direction. Something like, "Hey, let me take a listen to that. Sub-basement, huh? Well, I didn't see any more buttons on the elevator...maybe we oughtta look for another way down. See if any of this stuff has somethin' under it."

You know, when I got to this quest, it took me roughly one hour to figure out what needed done. My first thoughts was that second safe in the basement. Then I found the button. That’s where most of my attention went afterwards. Then I went around the room looking for some other clues and found THE RAGING CLUE, played it and was confused for a bit. What was I hearing what was the tape talking about? I’m already in the basement. That’s when it hit me and found the SECOND RAGING CLUE. Then the rest of the quest went smooth as my dog’s fur

can u please explain what u did exaclty because I have a feeling that my game is glitched

 

[Qerewen]

the only way i managed to get this quest to work was doing things in this order
1 Enter through the lobby
2 let Jake use the lobby computer
3 let Jake use a another computer on a upper level
4 grab the keycard
5 ride down the elevator
6 listen to the holotape that iis sittiing on the desk AFTER Jake has had some talk scenes and begun searching
7 Move the mats below the button.
8 talk to Jake
9 press the button and enter.

 

[HarisD]

What holotape? I cant seem to find no holotape.

 

[HarisD]

I already talked to him and is just standing around and sometimes he's searching the safes.

 

[Qerewen]

there is a holotape on the desk by the back exit.

 

[HarisD]

I've listened to it but nothing happened

 

[Qerewen]

look for the big red button on the wall, below it is a pile of rubber mats.
Interract with those mats to remove them and reveal the door into the sub basement

 

[HarisD]

Yeah already tried that but i cant really interact with it because everytime I press E on it nothing happens

 

[Qerewen]

diid you enter the building through the lobby or the basement?

 

[HarisD]

trough the lobby like the quest asked me to

 

[Qerewen]

did you follow the list i posted earlier

 

[HarisD]

yeah of course

 

[HarisD]

The holotape was called memo HQ right?

 

[Qerewen]

it was a while ago since i played that quest that i dont know the name of the holotape, but when you listen to it the guy will say that all robcostuff is to be sent down into the subbasement

 

[HarisD]

yeah I remember that. But i've tried to listen couple of times but no event triggers

Sounds like your save is bad you should be able to walk right up and activate the mats and they remove them selfs. But I would really like this quest to be more like go into lobby do all that stuff like it’s set then get down to the basement and have the holotype say something like move the stuff to the second basement then cover it up with something so it’s hidden from view. That way you have a clue or maybe jake reacts to you listening to the holotype and suggests to check a few places that look suspicious. some small changes would go a long way to this quest cause I spent a hr got frustrated and quit cause I though my game was broke.

Been loving SS2 so far, Jake's Questline is great! but the amount of re-loads i've had to do to get to "Hub of the Problem" has been short of a nightmare. Also moving plots and them leaving Electical poles..

And can now officially say im also stuck on this quest, First issue was Jake not moving away from the starting position to the HQ building, Then he got stuck on the terminal and wouldnt talk, Now im stuck in the basement 99% done, But stuk with "Investigate the lead jake received" & "Search the Vault-Tec Regional HQ" that wont complete after doing all the basement objectives and leaving the building.. Also cant find the questID to reset the quest in console
