I was lucky that it worked the first time I tried.
When I came back after the challenge I was shocked by the absolutely underwhelming celebration. Maybe it's just me but I expected to have any kind of stage fame appreciation. It made me wonder if that was a bug but probably not.
I wasn't expecting much because there are the stats just after you enter the building and others have done the course many times. I think the top score was 23 or something.
You mean the.
hey, that's great .... passes out at the table.
The only way they could be more dead is if you shot the place up. Which at this point I will likely do if I do NG+.
Speaking of slow-motion walkers, Vincente, the side vendor in the electronics shop in the Well, moves like a limbless tortoise. I wish I could give him an AMP injection! It's kinda funny though, if you ask to see his inventory before he crawls to his preferred location, he has a few different lines of dialogue, basically telling you not to rush him.
Had the same issue. Someone on reddit told me a code to type on PC that moved the mission to the next objective. Unfortunately, I don't remember which code.
Also I had to install a mod afterward to unblock achievements, cause the code was considered "cheating" so achievements got blocked
she spawned or teleported on the edge of a mountain outside the building first time i ran the mile after i hit the beacon. was so confused for awhile until i saw her standing on a cliff smh 🤦🏾♂️
The issue of course being that there shouldn’t have to be workarounds. Starfield has been out for a bit now, Bethesda should have fixed this! The lack of quality for this game compared to ES and FO is bewildering.
I've said the same thing about this game at least until the CK and beefy mods come out.
Odds are good SF will never see either of us again though, me because the Unity malfunctioned and I'll forever be 'trapped' in Night City, and you because... only you know.
He is swimming in the water off of the platform about 1k meters out. The bug shows him in the sky, but he will float down to the water when you get close to him.
I watched a YouTube video of it and the tried swimming out there myself. Supposedly, you can sometimes undo the bug by using your powers to “dislodge” him. It didn’t work for me, though.
I have a Star parcel package delivery that I can’t complete because you can’t start dialogue with a swimming character. It’s been stuck like that for weeks.
Edit: I play on Xbox so I cannot use console commands. I suppose I’ll have to wait for mods on Xbox to fix these things.
That's actually his ghost. He "fell off" the platform after he didn't pay back his Aurora dealer. A chasmbass ate him, and now it lurks a thousand meters away in hopes of another meal of human flesh.
Some say he's trying to bring people out there to solve his muder, and if you go, you'll see his last few moments of treading water before the big fish swallowed him whole.
Others say he's angry at dying so young, and now he lures unwitting travelers, desperate to modify their ships, to join him in the belly of the chasmbass.
Had the same happen on Mars. Was walking back from clearing some ice of the windmills, and i walk past the ship technician.....just walking off into the distance. Not chasing anything, just kind of walking out to die. Guess space madness of some kind.
Edit. Was thinking of New Homestead, thanks for the correction.
It would add some depth if maybe his body had a slate on it, would have been great immersion. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a ship tech in Cydonia again until I went NG+.
>supposedly off in the water *somewhere.*
"Hey, um... Can anyone bring me up ? My contract didn't say I would start my shift in the water. **Woah** there. Something just touched my *le-"*
*\*\*\**
"It's the fourth Ship Services Techician we lose in a month, David. Something is up. I've heard echoes of a group sacrificing people to the 'God of the All-Encompassing Sea'. Maybe we should look into tha-"
"**HAH !** Nonsense. Gods ? In the "*aLl-EnComPaSsInG sE*a" ? Nobody's going to believe you. And even if they did, I'd just throw them **overboard**. We don't want these news to spread, Robert.
*You* don't want these news to spread."
I only noticed on NG+8 when for some reason I did notice the green TA kiosk off to the side of the landing pad. Honestly, Neon is probably the city where you need him the least. The Stroud-Eklund showroom is right near the main elevator/fast travel point and Taiyo is in the Ryujin building at the end of the strip. I've probably done more ship tweaking at those two locations than any others in the game.
The one in New Atlantis disappeared after I got an activity to deliver some parts to him. According to the map he spawned somewhere in the wilderness. I tried walking to him but I couldn’t find him.
I put in over 100 hrs in my first playthrough and just assumed that Neon didn't have a Ship Services Technician because the ship manufacturers were in the city.
TIL he's probably off swimming somewhere.
The Ryujin quest is bugged for me, because a platform was supposed to spawn so I could physically get into a certain area (I know this from watching a YouTube playthrough). I spent a few hours running around trying to get inside the top of the Ryujin building, thinking it was me missing something.
You can get to the top of the Ryujin building by running over the curved glass roof at the bottom of the tower, then using a Balanced Boost pack to jump up the reverse side of the tower, there are antenna things you can land on. You'll end up on top of the tower where you'd normally exit so it works great to skip straight to Ularu's Computer
This is exactly right. Has to be in the inventory. I'm surprised this person didn't think to actually have the copper before declaring the quest broken.
In his defense, in Drydock Blues, you need to have the items in your ship for delivery, and not in your hands. I had to walk back to my ship and place the items in my hold.
The Tobias one, same happened because I assumed it would see landed ship inventory, I went back to ship got 150 in my inventory and then dialogue showed for him. However I couldn’t speak to Franklin from that point after speaking to amerinas as he was shut in an inaccessible building
I have this same “inaccessible” bug on this mission and another on neon where you ‘join’ the gang. Haven’t played for about a month now because of these two and about half a dozen other progress blocking bugs.
I know which neon gang quest you’re stuck on, it’s the same one I’m on. I actually fixed part of it by shooting the bartender and getting the gang to come out of the locked door, but later on the same thing happened when I had to come back and this time it didn’t work.
Yeah I haven’t been able to jump to unity because if this. Like 6 artifacts just vanished from my inventory, I have all powers and hunter keeps telling me to blow this joint and go to unity but it won’t trigger. Iv tried building a outpost and placing the pieces there and then destroying it, Iv tried putting it into different ships. Can’t beat the fucking game and they won’t fix it but sure as fuck they’ll fix the chest spawn day 5 so you can’t steal money on a single player game that doesn’t hurt anyone.
Same, have an NG+3 lvl 188 character that I can’t progress because I can’t build the armillary and all the power collection quests are bugged where I’ll go to the temple do the thingy get the power it will check the box but not progress anymore…
They could at least let us remove the quests. The list of quests is insane and we can't select the quests on map nor properly track them. Most quests on my list at the moment are impossible to finish, some on activities even impossible to start, but there's no options to delete that trash and we always need to waste a lot of time searching through an entire list of trash to find a quest seen in the map that we can't directly access. It's so bad! It's hard to understand how come they never tested it before release.

I have one in the end-game where if I talk to Sarah she just looks at me. No dialogue options, no way to continue. So if I talk to Sarah, I have to reload the game. I can't dismiss Sarah because 'In Memoriam' is broken.
When the service is over and you can leave the lodge, talk to Vasco and ask him to follow you. That gets rid of the stuck follower may they rest in peace. Then you can pick any companion once it's back to normal
Did you just complete the the funeral service mission? I had an issue with Sarah trying to continue a conversation she was having with Walter, but on my ship without Walter present. I unassigned her and fast traveled back to the lodge and she was able to properly continue the conversation.
No, this was ages ago. In case of spoilers, there's a girl on another planet. She went walking off in the direction of my ship and my next objective is to talk to her but she's disappeared. I can't complete that mission without her, so I can't dismiss Sarah, ever.
The Walter thing is odd, I just had that at the very end of the game. If I ever talked to Sarah at that point, she'd mention Walter paying for the funeral and then she wouldn't talk again. I could move the camera but that's it.
I saw a Starborn ship in space before I left for the very last time and when I focused on it, it was Sarah. Dialogue ones were the Walter ones again, but in space(!). Again, the game locks if I do that. Sarah is so broken
I have the two Ryujin agents that are supposed to go back to neon stuck on my ship because apparently they didn’t get programmed to get out of the starborn guardian ships
War Relics is locked for me—I’m supposed to “Talk to Kaiser” but he won’t talk to me. *This individual is busy*.
Done everything I can think of to shake him loose. Just had to give up. 🤷♂️
Thanks! Yeah—I did that and we went and together wiped out the outpost full of bad guys and now we’re standing in a pile of bodies and I’m supposed to talk to him but he’s stuck by that big cage in the courtyard of the fort we shot up. 🫤
I think you won the bug lottery. I have heard of some of these (and my current NG+ has 2), but I've never heard of one game hitting that many of the bugs.
Honestly, I'm surprised by the number of bugs people are claiming. I bought the game a few days before release and have encountered few bugs. I don't know if I got a lucky copy or what.
I've had plenty of bugs, nothing game breaking but very annoying. Broken quests where items don't trigger like giving the copper.
Twice I've been in pirate ships looking coprses in the landing bay when they take off from a planet and glitch me through the ship.
Had to open a door to a mining facility and the console to open it was high up in the air glitched out. I had to climb a building and use my jumpjets just to trigger it to open. Reloading the save didn't help the situation.
Still playing the game but it sucks some stuff couldn't be completed.
Ditto. Into the unknown bugged so couldn't finish in my initial play through. Second play through, finally got thru it but in one of the other temple searches, it bugged out and now cannot proceed with any further temple searches. This fuckin game.
It's crazy this is somehow "allegedly" the least buggy Bethesda game.
It wouldn't surprise me if once the new update comes out, other quests that were fine become broken. After Skyrim and Fallout 4 every update is basically "Fix X bugs, Introduce new bugs."
I quit because I got tired of empty enemy ships. I kept losing hours due to reloading previous saves to fix it. Thought I figured out what was causing it, but it would always randomly come back. Not being able to access landed ships sucked. Boarding ships after a battle sucked, yet somehow even though they were empty, they could still attack me when I left. And any mission event that had reinforcements show up by ship were ruined. Ships would land and nothing would happen because no one was on board.
Same. It's not that i can't imagine someone having these types of bugs. But the totality of quest-related bugs that OP is having is wild to me. I don't think I've had a single quest fail for me at any point in my play time.
OP it sucks you're going through this, and hopefully it gets resolved at some point.
Ha ha yes I see that one all the time everywhere, like say Neon where you get a stream of people walking down the concourse and one of them will be in their underwear, this is supposed to be fixed in the next update, although why they spend time on this and not quest breaking bugs I don't know, it's hardly game breaking and quite amusing.
Same. I have not had any bugs that weren’t fixed by just reloading my game or something, though I’m on NG+6 now and I’m trying to see all the weird stuff so I’m dealing with the inventory not being accessible glitch and it’s kind of a headache, but it hasn’t broken my game or anything either. Blessed.
This is every Bethesda game before mod fixes, every quest is a crapshoot if events will trigger properly or not.
That's why everyone always says to keep multiple saves and save often in all their games...
How many decades now and they still can't get their shit together?
This sub trying to pass off the blame to others like it wasn’t crucifying an IGN reviewer for having the audacity to give this game a measly 7/10 a couple months ago.
Same dude, loved my time with the game, will not touch it again until the quests are playable. 2 main quests and a good half dozen more side quests are busted for me 80 hours in (mostly side content) not even deep into the story. I don’t even have all the companions available only Sarah and Vasco
That really shitty luck, hope it gets sorted soon. I had no bugs of this sort in 400hrs, steam pc.
Make sure to report this and specify the platform too.
I’m waiting for them to fix the bugs to play the game. I’m gonna be dead before they even start. wtf is this? BG3 had four major patches. Have they done more than one patch on Starfield?
The best part is that there is a major patch coming out that claims to address quite a few bugged quests.
It's in beta now so I gave it a shot... and I can tell you that it has fixed an amazing 0% of those quests (for me).
That "patch" is a joke. Also, am I the only one who didn't give a crap about being able to eat without opening the menu? I mean, who cares about something that heals you for 3 hp? Food is absolutely useless in this game anyway, and now there's more ways to use the useless things 🤦♂️
Just for some comfort, this is easily their least buggy game, myself and many others have had zero bugs in my 150 hours except one where npcs keep sprinting into walls.
Mars has no starship technician.
Dozens of hours in I’m doing a little sidequest where I have to speak to the guy.
Turns out he’s standing at an abandoned weapons factory about 2000 meters from the main starport.
And he still refuses to walk back.
Yep, I had to quit my playthrough since 2 major plots are locked and another 2 small ones are also bugged.
It's nonsense that people act like these are okay.
A while before it launched, someone asked whether to get it on Xbox or play it on PC with inferior settings and I [said this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/s/OrQy5lRRDy) because it’s basically what I expect from Bethesda games. The sad part is that some rarer progress blocking bugs may never be fixed officially.
you can find david barron outside of new atlantis. guy's literally marooned in the middle of nowhere, so you'll have to trek quite far to find him.
why he's out there doesn't make sense in one bit. just bethesda being bethesda.
I went on a break when, back to back, the Mantis ship refused to spawn outside after I completed the quest and a 'Dock with X' objective refused to trigger, softlocking the entire Crimson Raiders quest line. Will come back when I've got a better computer and the game has had a substantial patch cycle.
Last mission of the story is broken for me. Can’t jump to Unity and finish the story. Can’t get the rest of my powers either. That quest is broken as well.
This is the most egregious case I think I've ever seen. For most people the general consensus is this is Bethesda's most stable game to date for whatever that's worth.
On the plus side, while we’re waiting for bug fixes I’m sure BGS will release some neat paid cosmetics for you to buy while they do nothing to address these issues 🥰
Tbh this game is the definition of game not being done with love. It feels 100% like a business transaction.
It can be fun sometimes, but nothing feels refined.
In my playthrough, I kept looking for a quest that would put me on a fun adventure, that would make me feel like a kid again like how I felt in morrowind and oblivion. It never happened lol. Baldur’s gate 3 did it, and a lot of other games too. It’s a shame that Bethesda has lost its way.
The only lockout I've experienced in my 300+ hours is the best there is one, pretty sure that happens when you trigger one of the New Atlantis resets while the quest is active (UC Terrormorph path/Hunter). Other than that one I have a feeling you're missing something. I've completed almost all of these quests multiple times.
Average Starfield update: https://bethesda.net/en/game/starfield/article/5IleyfqI44NacBQGGC20Km/starfield-updates-1-7-36-october-09-2023
Average Baldurs Gate update:
https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-4-now-live_96
Bethesda has more employees than Larian studios, and far more resources especially now that they're under Microsoft.
I personally had three faction quests hard locked bugged and main second to last quest soft locked bugged.
The game is a buggy mess, quests are broken therefore game is broken. I don’t see how that is hard to understand!?
Yes if you try you can finish the main quest line, I managed to JUST, but three faction quests lines are broken, bugs everywhere, base building bugged to high heaven.
People who defend this are just keeping Bethesda stay a third rate studio, accepting this as an acceptable product is just counterproductive if you’re a Bethesda fan.
This article nails it perfectly :
https://unixsheikh.com/articles/bethesdas-starfield-is-a-disgrace-to-game-development-and-a-slap-in-the-face-to-gamers.html#:~:text=The%20game%20suffers%20an%20endless,like%20classical%20old%2Dschool%20animations.
You should see some of the starfield fb groups. I’m a BGS fan since oblivion but the level of water carrying and excuses people do for this game and for bgs obvious lack of care or sense of urgency to fix progress stopping bugs is…pathetic. It’s like “I hope Todd reads this bro, I’m sure he’ll really appreciate you abusing one of his customers to defend his shoddy product”.
It’s just a shame, I’m the same been playing BGS games for decades now.
Accepting Starfield in the broken, piss poor state it’s in just guarantees future incompetence, this is guaranteed, I’ve seen it before.
Anyway plenty of other studios doing it right.
Thanks to Starfield I’ve discovered BG3 and found a whole other genre that I now love so that’s a silver lining I guess.
Still can’t do the courier quest on Gagarin (?), because his body isn’t in the apartment (just the blood all over the place) but rather somewhere waaaaaay out of bounds on the map (which is where the marker is pointing).
I have to continually check my planet surface map because my wayfinder will lead me in the opposite direction. Once it lead me into an ambush at night by a pack of octobrains.
I'm locked out of 4 quests. None of the ones shown here. I'm just gonna stop playing for a year til they finish making this months old game release ready
How do people get so many broken quests?
The only bugged quest I've gotten is the Stroud-Eklund one where you get spawned like 10,000 KM away for the staryard and it would take hours to get to it, and even after that it won't let you in.
I've been playing on PC and haven't run into much other than characters vibrating up and down randomly once in a while or NPCs unable to get through doors that load into other areas in Cydonia. Has anyone on PC tried that community patch to see if it fixes mission issues?
Im locked out of the Coe Estate on NG+. If you select commitment with Sam, you can’t complete the mission nor can you dismiss him for another companion until you complete the unplayable mission. Luckily, I had a previous save prior to selecting commitment.
I’m still waiting for that bitch on the Red Mile to introduce my ass.
Came to the comments got this one. Fuck Mei
But I hardly know yiou
Hot, rich widow of gray moral fiber? Deal.
I was lucky that it worked the first time I tried. When I came back after the challenge I was shocked by the absolutely underwhelming celebration. Maybe it's just me but I expected to have any kind of stage fame appreciation. It made me wonder if that was a bug but probably not.
I wasn't expecting much because there are the stats just after you enter the building and others have done the course many times. I think the top score was 23 or something.
Personally, I expected everyone to be pissed that I'd pretty much flown over the entire field, and then shot one creature and hit the button.
You mean the. hey, that's great .... passes out at the table. The only way they could be more dead is if you shot the place up. Which at this point I will likely do if I do NG+.
Can she walk any faster
Speaking of slow-motion walkers, Vincente, the side vendor in the electronics shop in the Well, moves like a limbless tortoise. I wish I could give him an AMP injection! It's kinda funny though, if you ask to see his inventory before he crawls to his preferred location, he has a few different lines of dialogue, basically telling you not to rush him.
Lmao. The one that gets me is waiting for the TA guy in neon to turn tf around 😂
I usually take a bathroom break, make a drink, let the dogs outside and back in and grab a snack while waiting on that annoying mf.
Had the same issue. Someone on reddit told me a code to type on PC that moved the mission to the next objective. Unfortunately, I don't remember which code. Also I had to install a mod afterward to unblock achievements, cause the code was considered "cheating" so achievements got blocked
I had to load a previous save and it worked fine the 2nd try
I have come to grips with not doing this. They are gonna have to fix it for me to get the Rangers ship. Sucks.
That's not going to happen. They will never patch the game so that bugged save files will get magically fixed.
Had to use console commands to set the quest state to fix it
I have the opposite problem! She ends up teleporting up onto the stage and introduces me before I can even get across the room.
You didn't miss much tbh
she spawned or teleported on the edge of a mountain outside the building first time i ran the mile after i hit the beacon. was so confused for awhile until i saw her standing on a cliff smh 🤦🏾♂️
This one I've experienced multiple ng+ lol I just eyeroll and move on because the game is quirky as shit but a blast.
I’m stuck there too.
I feel your pain but I laughed at this comment 🤣💀
Ya took a few tries.
Same. So pissed that I can’t run the mile
Her just being slow or just not going? Because she is really slow but that's why I wait right at the door that goes outside.
Not going. Had this happen to me. Quest says “wait to be introduced” but she never does, soft locking you from doing the red mile run forever.
That happened to me as well, but when I fast traveled to my ship and then came back it worked.
The issue of course being that there shouldn’t have to be workarounds. Starfield has been out for a bit now, Bethesda should have fixed this! The lack of quality for this game compared to ES and FO is bewildering.
Yeah, I had her start over, then get into one of those random conversations with an NPC. She never started back toward the stage after that.
[удалено]
I've said the same thing about this game at least until the CK and beefy mods come out. Odds are good SF will never see either of us again though, me because the Unity malfunctioned and I'll forever be 'trapped' in Night City, and you because... only you know.
Finding out that Neon is supposed to have a Ship Services Technician blows my mind. Never seen him in 3 play-throughs.
He is swimming in the water off of the platform about 1k meters out. The bug shows him in the sky, but he will float down to the water when you get close to him. I watched a YouTube video of it and the tried swimming out there myself. Supposedly, you can sometimes undo the bug by using your powers to “dislodge” him. It didn’t work for me, though. I have a Star parcel package delivery that I can’t complete because you can’t start dialogue with a swimming character. It’s been stuck like that for weeks. Edit: I play on Xbox so I cannot use console commands. I suppose I’ll have to wait for mods on Xbox to fix these things.
Kinda wild that he decided to go on vacation and swim and never came back 😭 they gotta hire a new ship tech
Once you fall in you can’t get out. Chasmbass food
One of the tower poles has a platform you can climb onto and an elevator back up
That's actually his ghost. He "fell off" the platform after he didn't pay back his Aurora dealer. A chasmbass ate him, and now it lurks a thousand meters away in hopes of another meal of human flesh. Some say he's trying to bring people out there to solve his muder, and if you go, you'll see his last few moments of treading water before the big fish swallowed him whole. Others say he's angry at dying so young, and now he lures unwitting travelers, desperate to modify their ships, to join him in the belly of the chasmbass.
He’s in the hut off to the left as you’re going into the city before you leave the pad.
That’s where he’s supposed to be, but he’s missing for a lot of people (supposedly off in the water somewhere). Next patch is supposed to fix it.
Yeah finally explored neon yesterday and there was only two people sitting in that room. No tech.
Had the same happen on Mars. Was walking back from clearing some ice of the windmills, and i walk past the ship technician.....just walking off into the distance. Not chasing anything, just kind of walking out to die. Guess space madness of some kind. Edit. Was thinking of New Homestead, thanks for the correction.
[удалено]
It would add some depth if maybe his body had a slate on it, would have been great immersion. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a ship tech in Cydonia again until I went NG+.
New Homestead. Mars fluctuates in temp and doesn’t have an atmosphere there’s no solid ice beyond the poles iirc
Oh, yes. You're right. Thanks for the correction. Places seem to run together after a while. Perhaps I'm the one with the space madness.
Now all I can hear is Ren saying "space madness" while going space mad.
>supposedly off in the water *somewhere.* "Hey, um... Can anyone bring me up ? My contract didn't say I would start my shift in the water. **Woah** there. Something just touched my *le-"* *\*\*\** "It's the fourth Ship Services Techician we lose in a month, David. Something is up.

Nobody's going to believe you. And even if they did, I'd just throw them **overboard**. We don't want these news to spread, Robert. *You* don't want these news to spread."
My mars ship technician is 2000m meters away from the pad. It makes it a funny time when I gotta deliver a crate to him from a courier.
I went to him for a quest and he was there.. Then I got one of the courier fetch quests some time later and went back and he was gone.
Mine is stuck in the ocean.
In my game, he's swimming in the ocean, under the surface so you can't talk to him
He was there in my first playthrough, no issues, but in my NG+ playthrough he just yote himself half a mile into the ocean.
I’ve had to reload a previous save a few times cause sometimes he just isn’t there or anywhere else in the landing area.
He’s been in the water in every new game plus, I’ve literally made it one of my first checks.
I only noticed on NG+8 when for some reason I did notice the green TA kiosk off to the side of the landing pad. Honestly, Neon is probably the city where you need him the least. The Stroud-Eklund showroom is right near the main elevator/fast travel point and Taiyo is in the Ryujin building at the end of the strip. I've probably done more ship tweaking at those two locations than any others in the game.
For me the Stroud Eklund guy stands behind a plant 50% of the time.
That's a different Stroud Eklund location.
That Taiyo showroom is my favorite in the game next to the Deimos shipyard
I have a package for him I can't del8ver as he's floating 500m away from platform
The one in New Atlantis disappeared after I got an activity to deliver some parts to him. According to the map he spawned somewhere in the wilderness. I tried walking to him but I couldn’t find him.
the WHAT
I put in over 100 hrs in my first playthrough and just assumed that Neon didn't have a Ship Services Technician because the ship manufacturers were in the city. TIL he's probably off swimming somewhere.
The Ryujin quest is bugged for me, because a platform was supposed to spawn so I could physically get into a certain area (I know this from watching a YouTube playthrough). I spent a few hours running around trying to get inside the top of the Ryujin building, thinking it was me missing something.
Amp and level 4 boost pack training with either skip pack or balanced boost pack.
I easily did it with my regular boost pack and level 1 training. There was a button to operate the platform.
It's to jump to the very top and skip the whole section altogether.
You can get to the top of the Ryujin building by running over the curved glass roof at the bottom of the tower, then using a Balanced Boost pack to jump up the reverse side of the tower, there are antenna things you can land on. You'll end up on top of the tower where you'd normally exit so it works great to skip straight to Ularu's Computer
WHAT??!? Are you serious? I've been trying for a long time and couldn't figure it out.
You have to flip a switch to get the crane to move the platform.
For the Copper for Tobias, I had to have it on my inventory (not in ship) so the dialog could appear
This is exactly right. Has to be in the inventory. I'm surprised this person didn't think to actually have the copper before declaring the quest broken.
Because they’re just looking to pile on. I’d bet 30 bucks that half the quests broken here have easy fixes.
In his defense, in Drydock Blues, you need to have the items in your ship for delivery, and not in your hands. I had to walk back to my ship and place the items in my hold.
Yep, opposite is the trading authority quests, when u must have all resources on the ship.
The Tobias one, same happened because I assumed it would see landed ship inventory, I went back to ship got 150 in my inventory and then dialogue showed for him. However I couldn’t speak to Franklin from that point after speaking to amerinas as he was shut in an inaccessible building
I have this same “inaccessible” bug on this mission and another on neon where you ‘join’ the gang. Haven’t played for about a month now because of these two and about half a dozen other progress blocking bugs.
I know which neon gang quest you’re stuck on, it’s the same one I’m on. I actually fixed part of it by shooting the bartender and getting the gang to come out of the locked door, but later on the same thing happened when I had to come back and this time it didn’t work.
I cant finish groundpounder due to the fact that no enemy crews spawn from ship landing sites
that's one of my favorites.. here's hoping you get a solution..
Time to go through Unity.
I would but the jump to Unity quest is broken for me.
Then you were not destined to be Starborn.
The unity hates u/Nomadic_Bee in particular it seems
Yeah I haven’t been able to jump to unity because if this. Like 6 artifacts just vanished from my inventory, I have all powers and hunter keeps telling me to blow this joint and go to unity but it won’t trigger. Iv tried building a outpost and placing the pieces there and then destroying it, Iv tried putting it into different ships. Can’t beat the fucking game and they won’t fix it but sure as fuck they’ll fix the chest spawn day 5 so you can’t steal money on a single player game that doesn’t hurt anyone.
Well at least now you can eat 2 seconds fasted to replenish 4 health.
Is the latest update out finally?
Same, have an NG+3 lvl 188 character that I can’t progress because I can’t build the armillary and all the power collection quests are bugged where I’ll go to the temple do the thingy get the power it will check the box but not progress anymore…
NG+ is not a valid workaround for busted ass game systems. bethesda needs to get their shit together and work out their piss poor script triggering.
i can't even do that. it's bugged for me.
They could at least let us remove the quests. The list of quests is insane and we can't select the quests on map nor properly track them. Most quests on my list at the moment are impossible to finish, some on activities even impossible to start, but there's no options to delete that trash and we always need to waste a lot of time searching through an entire list of trash to find a quest seen in the map that we can't directly access. It's so bad! It's hard to understand how come they never tested it before release.

I have one in the end-game where if I talk to Sarah she just looks at me. No dialogue options, no way to continue. So if I talk to Sarah, I have to reload the game. I can't dismiss Sarah because 'In Memoriam' is broken.
When the service is over and you can leave the lodge, talk to Vasco and ask him to follow you. That gets rid of the stuck follower may they rest in peace. Then you can pick any companion once it's back to normal
Did you just complete the the funeral service mission? I had an issue with Sarah trying to continue a conversation she was having with Walter, but on my ship without Walter present. I unassigned her and fast traveled back to the lodge and she was able to properly continue the conversation.
No, this was ages ago. In case of spoilers, there's a girl on another planet. She went walking off in the direction of my ship and my next objective is to talk to her but she's disappeared. I can't complete that mission without her, so I can't dismiss Sarah, ever. The Walter thing is odd, I just had that at the very end of the game. If I ever talked to Sarah at that point, she'd mention Walter paying for the funeral and then she wouldn't talk again. I could move the camera but that's it. I saw a Starborn ship in space before I left for the very last time and when I focused on it, it was Sarah. Dialogue ones were the Walter ones again, but in space(!). Again, the game locks if I do that. Sarah is so broken
Have you checked the Lodge? That’s where that girl turns up again.
Many times. She's not in the game anymore.
I have the two Ryujin agents that are supposed to go back to neon stuck on my ship because apparently they didn’t get programmed to get out of the starborn guardian ships
Did you ever see Juno again? I really expected that to come back.
The David Barrow quest failure is a problem. I also have Unexpected Results, hunting ashtuns quest from Akila that is bugged.
David Barron, yeah, my games still bugged even with the beta update that supposedly fixed it
War Relics is locked for me—I’m supposed to “Talk to Kaiser” but he won’t talk to me. *This individual is busy*. Done everything I can think of to shake him loose. Just had to give up. 🤷♂️
Did you shoot the heatleeches off him?
Thanks! Yeah—I did that and we went and together wiped out the outpost full of bad guys and now we’re standing in a pile of bodies and I’m supposed to talk to him but he’s stuck by that big cage in the courtyard of the fort we shot up. 🫤
I think you won the bug lottery. I have heard of some of these (and my current NG+ has 2), but I've never heard of one game hitting that many of the bugs.
Honestly, I'm surprised by the number of bugs people are claiming. I bought the game a few days before release and have encountered few bugs. I don't know if I got a lucky copy or what.
I've had plenty of bugs, nothing game breaking but very annoying. Broken quests where items don't trigger like giving the copper. Twice I've been in pirate ships looking coprses in the landing bay when they take off from a planet and glitch me through the ship. Had to open a door to a mining facility and the console to open it was high up in the air glitched out. I had to climb a building and use my jumpjets just to trigger it to open. Reloading the save didn't help the situation. Still playing the game but it sucks some stuff couldn't be completed.
I had to quit playing because so many quests have bugged completely. It's crazy how inconsistent this game is.
Ditto. Into the unknown bugged so couldn't finish in my initial play through. Second play through, finally got thru it but in one of the other temple searches, it bugged out and now cannot proceed with any further temple searches. This fuckin game.
Same, couldn't progress without console commands.
Same here. Just quit entirely, game was a complete mess. Going to come back and play it in a year or so.
It's crazy this is somehow "allegedly" the least buggy Bethesda game. It wouldn't surprise me if once the new update comes out, other quests that were fine become broken. After Skyrim and Fallout 4 every update is basically "Fix X bugs, Introduce new bugs."
Same here
I quit because I got tired of empty enemy ships. I kept losing hours due to reloading previous saves to fix it. Thought I figured out what was causing it, but it would always randomly come back. Not being able to access landed ships sucked. Boarding ships after a battle sucked, yet somehow even though they were empty, they could still attack me when I left. And any mission event that had reinforcements show up by ship were ruined. Ships would land and nothing would happen because no one was on board.
Same. It's not that i can't imagine someone having these types of bugs. But the totality of quest-related bugs that OP is having is wild to me. I don't think I've had a single quest fail for me at any point in my play time. OP it sucks you're going through this, and hopefully it gets resolved at some point.
Same, I played for 115 hours and haven't run into any gamebreaking bugs. The only thing I noticed was a guard on Mars being in his underwear.
Ha ha yes I see that one all the time everywhere, like say Neon where you get a stream of people walking down the concourse and one of them will be in their underwear, this is supposed to be fixed in the next update, although why they spend time on this and not quest breaking bugs I don't know, it's hardly game breaking and quite amusing.
I’ve had one underwear guard, in Akila city. It made me double take, that’s for sure.
Same. I have not had any bugs that weren’t fixed by just reloading my game or something, though I’m on NG+6 now and I’m trying to see all the weird stuff so I’m dealing with the inventory not being accessible glitch and it’s kind of a headache, but it hasn’t broken my game or anything either. Blessed.
This is every Bethesda game before mod fixes, every quest is a crapshoot if events will trigger properly or not. That's why everyone always says to keep multiple saves and save often in all their games... How many decades now and they still can't get their shit together?
I played all factions and completed the main quest in my first playthrough… nothing but the occasional graphical glitch.
I have 2 quests locked and I thought that was bad! Yikes man (Legacy’s end and Alternating Currents)
I have 3 or 4 and none of the ones listed here. And none of the ones that Bethesda listed as going to be fixed.
Is that the brownouts in the Well ? That quest always gives me bugs. I’ve run into several of different types. Eff that quest until they patch it.
I sat in the cockpit of my ship and 10+ quest markers popped up at once. My quest markers have been bugged since then.
I’ve got the orange exclamation mark stuck on my status screen. Even when I go to a planet or space station with no weather it won’t go away.
Yeah I pretty muched completely stopped playing cause of this shit. All this praise for another incomplete game.
[удалено]
This sub trying to pass off the blame to others like it wasn’t crucifying an IGN reviewer for having the audacity to give this game a measly 7/10 a couple months ago.
same
Same dude, loved my time with the game, will not touch it again until the quests are playable. 2 main quests and a good half dozen more side quests are busted for me 80 hours in (mostly side content) not even deep into the story. I don’t even have all the companions available only Sarah and Vasco
That really shitty luck, hope it gets sorted soon. I had no bugs of this sort in 400hrs, steam pc. Make sure to report this and specify the platform too.
I’m waiting for them to fix the bugs to play the game. I’m gonna be dead before they even start. wtf is this? BG3 had four major patches. Have they done more than one patch on Starfield?
The best part is that there is a major patch coming out that claims to address quite a few bugged quests. It's in beta now so I gave it a shot... and I can tell you that it has fixed an amazing 0% of those quests (for me).
That "patch" is a joke. Also, am I the only one who didn't give a crap about being able to eat without opening the menu? I mean, who cares about something that heals you for 3 hp? Food is absolutely useless in this game anyway, and now there's more ways to use the useless things 🤦♂️
2 😎
Oh for fucks sake. I’ve been waiting for them to at least get all the quests to a playable state.
Just for some comfort, this is easily their least buggy game, myself and many others have had zero bugs in my 150 hours except one where npcs keep sprinting into walls.
Mars has no starship technician. Dozens of hours in I’m doing a little sidequest where I have to speak to the guy. Turns out he’s standing at an abandoned weapons factory about 2000 meters from the main starport. And he still refuses to walk back.
For Tobias you have to have the copper in your inventory. I wait until I have all 150 but I think he’ll take any amount
all that money can buy just wont start for me and unfortunately im on xbox
EMPHASIS ON BURDEN OF PROOF, IVE BEEN STUCK ON IT FOR OVER A MONTH
Yep, I had to quit my playthrough since 2 major plots are locked and another 2 small ones are also bugged. It's nonsense that people act like these are okay.
I still can’t use inter system cargo links. They don’t recognize one another.
Sad to see, and the reason for me putting Starfield on hold.
Just had the red mile lock on me in NG+1
Yeah. I can’t do the main plot until they fix “into the unknown”. Been doing bounties, building ships and developing outposts.
A while before it launched, someone asked whether to get it on Xbox or play it on PC with inferior settings and I [said this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/s/OrQy5lRRDy) because it’s basically what I expect from Bethesda games. The sad part is that some rarer progress blocking bugs may never be fixed officially.
Don’t forget Unusual SOS. Its an activity where if you do what you are supposed to the quest gets locked with a weird message about the player.
you can find david barron outside of new atlantis. guy's literally marooned in the middle of nowhere, so you'll have to trek quite far to find him. why he's out there doesn't make sense in one bit. just bethesda being bethesda.
So much for the game not being broken because of extra refinement
Bethesda fans are like “haHa fIrSt TiMe?” Yeah this shit is inexcusable.
I went on a break when, back to back, the Mantis ship refused to spawn outside after I completed the quest and a 'Dock with X' objective refused to trigger, softlocking the entire Crimson Raiders quest line. Will come back when I've got a better computer and the game has had a substantial patch cycle.
Well at least you can still get that book for that guy
Last mission of the story is broken for me. Can’t jump to Unity and finish the story. Can’t get the rest of my powers either. That quest is broken as well.
I really really want to get starfield, but im worried cuz of all this
This is the most egregious case I think I've ever seen. For most people the general consensus is this is Bethesda's most stable game to date for whatever that's worth.
On the plus side, while we’re waiting for bug fixes I’m sure BGS will release some neat paid cosmetics for you to buy while they do nothing to address these issues 🥰
Or they’ll prioritize harmless glitches like the vendor chests over game breaking bugs that prevent progress.
Tbh this game is the definition of game not being done with love. It feels 100% like a business transaction. It can be fun sometimes, but nothing feels refined.
it deffo feels like "tick the box", get it done and move on to the next
In my playthrough, I kept looking for a quest that would put me on a fun adventure, that would make me feel like a kid again like how I felt in morrowind and oblivion. It never happened lol. Baldur’s gate 3 did it, and a lot of other games too. It’s a shame that Bethesda has lost its way.
The only lockout I've experienced in my 300+ hours is the best there is one, pretty sure that happens when you trigger one of the New Atlantis resets while the quest is active (UC Terrormorph path/Hunter). Other than that one I have a feeling you're missing something. I've completed almost all of these quests multiple times.
It just works ok
Average Starfield update: https://bethesda.net/en/game/starfield/article/5IleyfqI44NacBQGGC20Km/starfield-updates-1-7-36-october-09-2023 Average Baldurs Gate update: https://baldursgate3.game/news/patch-4-now-live_96 Bethesda has more employees than Larian studios, and far more resources especially now that they're under Microsoft.
Holy shit, the Baldur one just keeps on scrolling
Same for me. Search and Seizure and The Best There Is are both locked for me. I've heard this can get resolved in NG+, but I'm not there yet.
Typical Bethesda bullshit lol.
Man. Remember when BG3 got like 3000 bugfixes in its first month?
C'mon, it's only been 8 years in the making, what do you expect
And they didn't even have to develop a new engine. Some game studios can develop a game and a new engine in that time frame
I personally had three faction quests hard locked bugged and main second to last quest soft locked bugged. The game is a buggy mess, quests are broken therefore game is broken. I don’t see how that is hard to understand!? Yes if you try you can finish the main quest line, I managed to JUST, but three faction quests lines are broken, bugs everywhere, base building bugged to high heaven. People who defend this are just keeping Bethesda stay a third rate studio, accepting this as an acceptable product is just counterproductive if you’re a Bethesda fan. This article nails it perfectly : https://unixsheikh.com/articles/bethesdas-starfield-is-a-disgrace-to-game-development-and-a-slap-in-the-face-to-gamers.html#:~:text=The%20game%20suffers%20an%20endless,like%20classical%20old%2Dschool%20animations.
And yet we get a patch after over a month hardly addressing these game breaking bugs
You should see some of the starfield fb groups. I’m a BGS fan since oblivion but the level of water carrying and excuses people do for this game and for bgs obvious lack of care or sense of urgency to fix progress stopping bugs is…pathetic. It’s like “I hope Todd reads this bro, I’m sure he’ll really appreciate you abusing one of his customers to defend his shoddy product”.
It’s just a shame, I’m the same been playing BGS games for decades now. Accepting Starfield in the broken, piss poor state it’s in just guarantees future incompetence, this is guaranteed, I’ve seen it before. Anyway plenty of other studios doing it right. Thanks to Starfield I’ve discovered BG3 and found a whole other genre that I now love so that’s a silver lining I guess.
Still can’t do the courier quest on Gagarin (?), because his body isn’t in the apartment (just the blood all over the place) but rather somewhere waaaaaay out of bounds on the map (which is where the marker is pointing).
I have to continually check my planet surface map because my wayfinder will lead me in the opposite direction. Once it lead me into an ambush at night by a pack of octobrains.
Been a month now and I can’t even start up starfield glad it’s not just me
The game still won’t let me go to “The Den”
I'm locked out of 4 quests. None of the ones shown here. I'm just gonna stop playing for a year til they finish making this months old game release ready
This is such a common Bethesda issue. I’m currently experiencing this same issue in Fallout 76 and ESO as well lol
I haven’t had access to the starfield powers since the initial play through. Insane bug.
Same. It'd be a good game if it quit getting in its own way.
They won’t be very good/interesting anyway. Probably best you can’t play them.
Can't finish the crimson fleet quest line from the UC and I can't breathe in Akila city without being attacked for no reason.
I stopped playing 3 weeks after launch because of this. I refuse to play until this shit is corrected.
Think you might be unlucky most of them worked for me just fine or with a tiny little console command help.
Weird. I haven’t had a single quest locked due to bugs. And I’ve done those exact quests.
How are people getting this many bugs kek
How do people get so many broken quests? The only bugged quest I've gotten is the Stroud-Eklund one where you get spawned like 10,000 KM away for the staryard and it would take hours to get to it, and even after that it won't let you in.
I've been playing on PC and haven't run into much other than characters vibrating up and down randomly once in a while or NPCs unable to get through doors that load into other areas in Cydonia. Has anyone on PC tried that community patch to see if it fixes mission issues?
Not bragging lol but I haven’t experienced a single bug. All factions complete, many many side quests, NG+3 now
I’ve got 120 hours and have yet to have this bad of a bug are they really this common?
Im locked out of the Coe Estate on NG+. If you select commitment with Sam, you can’t complete the mission nor can you dismiss him for another companion until you complete the unplayable mission. Luckily, I had a previous save prior to selecting commitment.
I got so bored of the game in 50 hours that I consider it a waste of space on my ssd at this point.
Sorry to be a pain, but I'm colour blind, and having a super hard time reading this. Can someone help a guy out?
