Please do not post questions about how to start this quest here.

Upon finishing FALS (Arcade's follower quest) I find myself locked in the Bunker (room with the map) with the Remnants and unable to leave. I've checked the Wiki and found little help there. The issue appears to be the removal of the Card Key at the conclusion of the quest (if I kill Orion and take it, it disappears; if I [Speech] Orion the door is locked and I have no key). Wiki recommends pickpocketing Orion but my sneak is too low even with skill books. I have reloaded this quest and replayed it only to have the same bug (locked door) stop me from exiting the Bunker. I finally killed Orion, took the Card and left the Bunker. I came back 3 days later to see if the Remnants were still hostile and they were. Here are my questions:

1. Is this a permanently bugged quest - is there a way to fix it (such as reload from before the quest started) or is it a permanent break? Has anyone on 360 completed this quest and been able to leave the Bunker?

2. Alternative ways to boost my [Sneak] to the point I could pickpocket Orion (my skill is at 25; I'm level 30 and cannot put any more points into [Sneak]; is there a combo of magazines, chems, etc that could raise it sufficiently?)

3. If I kill Orion ([Speech] check, he agrees to help and goes into the room, I follow, quest completes, door is locked and I have to kill to get the Card), making the Remnants hostile, will they be hostile at the Dam? Or do they ever stop being hostile? I would prefer to not kill Orion if possible.

4. Is this quest bug fixed by any of the patches? I am not on XBox Live but may get on eventually and could download it.

I'm pretty angry about this bug. I've been looking forward to this quest for some time - its really interesting, has good dialogue and very cool characters. For it to break like this is really aggravating. I'm hoping there's a way out here.

use a stealthboy to pickpocket him?

if u get everyone to agree, including succeeding in the speech check, u can't get back inside the room. I got a message that they are planning the attack. U have completed the quest and u should move on to the next quest.

I am on 360 and this worked for me as indeed it is bugged... You have to pass the speech check with whatshis face (guy that hates Ncr I think) if you fight him it is indeed uncompletable.. then you have to let him walk through the door into the meeting room unlocking it then let arcade leave you (when he does the Key disapears which is why you do not pickpocket before this point.. Then go in the room and you should be able with a stealth boy to get the key to leave by pick pocketing as it is indeed locked and no dialog triggers it open..


Hope it helps

1.I have been able to leave the bunker, and I have a 360 and have completed this quest.
2.Stealth boy or mod the game.
3.They will always be hostile and will not aid you at the battle of Hoover Dam II
4.There should be a patch soon as i have heard this off people a lot, guess I'm lucky.

Think there's already one patch for Xbox out. Connect, update, then do the Bunker part of the quest - should work fine. I did your exact same stuff and walked out of there no problem.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate you help.
