When you start the "Take it Back" quest (which is the last quest) you can't do anything like talk to any one or tread etc etc.
And without the DLCs you are basicly stuck in doing the last mission and... well dieing.
If you want to tread the Holotags to Scribe Jameson.

So basically...
Quest "Take it Back" last quest, after starting it you can do nothing anymore...
