Dead money final quest 'Heist of the centuries' bug

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 12:04 pm

After playing (grudgingly) through Dead money, I know arrive at the final quest, 'heist of the centuries' so after I escape the vault, gold or not, kill (or escape) from elijah, make it to the elevator door and find myself... in vera keyes room. if I go back, My collar explodes instantly. This has to be my least favorite DLC in any fallout game. I just want it to end!
I have tried god mode, but that does not work either.


If anybody has had the same problem, or knows an answer to the problem, Please help!


Thank you for your time, Lysiaboy

I wrote a mod that uses that elevator door and I know it has a special script which controls the use of the elevator. If a mod were to alter that door or script in any way, it might cause a problem and prevent you from leaving, because the final time you activate that door after escaping the vault, the door script is supposed to do a bunch of stuff like move you to the villa fountain, remove your collar, roll the ending credits, etc., etc.

Are you running any mods that change Dead Money?

Turns out this is a know bug

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Heist_of_the_Centuries

There is a work around

Spoiler

[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091211115910/fallout/images/thumb/e/e3/Icon_pc.png/14px-Icon_pc.png[/img] After killing Elijah, the elevator may take you to Vera's suite, rather than the Villa's Fountain. If this happens the quest will not advance as it should. At this point if you try to re-enter the vault, or leave the casino your collar will explode. However, if you use the console commands tgm and unlock on the casino's doors, you will be taken to the fountain. Head to the Mojave Wasteland gate, and change your view to third person. Then, open the console and type showinventory, then select the player. If you now cannot see the collar id on the console, drop items until it is visible. Remove the collar using player.removeitem X # (X=item id #=amount of item). With the collar removed, pick up your gear and use unlock to open the Wasteland gate. This will allow the ending slides to play, and you will be taken back to The Abandoned BoS bunker. When back to the bunker, you can unlock Elijah's terminal, Elijah's footlocker, and the footlocker beside the ladder with the unlock command. Console commands can be used to complete the quest afterwards. You will then be able to continue the game, still gaining the perks and items you would have if this bug had not occurred.

Sorry I probably should have looked there first before my initial reply.

Yeah I know about the console way, I'm just tripping up on the logistics such as the actual way to enter the code, etc
