Just to start off, this does get kind of ranty, but I feel I have a point, so I’m going to keep this up. I have seen few posts about bugs and problems that NEED help from BGS or fixing. And there are bugs.

For some reason this community seems to reject posts about bugs and problems with the game, even if they are civil and really just trying to help.

It’s been a few days since Wastelanders dropped, and I really like it. I mean the little bit I got to play before encountering a bug that locked my progression through the main quest... ...But that isn’t the topic of this. I made around 3 posts asking for help or advice around the bug, and most of them were downvoted and ignored by the community. Only 1 getting the attention through the comments of a different post. There should really be a bugs and help megathread for the subreddit, especially for a live-service game that still needs it.

But that’s just in my opinion, feel free to leave thoughts below, I just feel like for a game like this there needs to be a greater focus of fixing real issues than the typical community “I really like this update” circlejerk.

(PSA: I’m not saying we shouldn’t thank Bethesda, I’m just saying that we should also focus on the state of the game as well. I love the update, just can’t play it because of a progression bug)

Hey there! I didn't see your posts on your progression blocker, can you catch me up to speed so I can help?

Currently can’t play past the quest “Strange Bedfellows” on my level 106, because I picked up the Photo you need for the quest early off a paper bag. When you do this it completely breaks the quest and doesn’t allow you to pass the “Look at the back of the Photo” part, which is necessary.

Currently I know of another person who has the same exact bug and there are a few people who posted with other progression-breaking bugs too.

Thank you for the help!

Let me ask our team is there is any troubleshooting advice I can give you or if we're able to reset that quest. Hang tight for me!

Thank you, if you need any other information I’m glad to help!

So I'm digging through your comments and saw that someone had dropped the photo outside the wayward and you picked it up before starting the quest correct? Then you dropped the photo and logged out, but now don't have the photo anymore and can't find it in David's desk?

Also I see you said you filed a ticket, can you tell me that ticket number?

Yes, that is what happened. The photo doesn’t work itself (By inspecting or reading) if you pick it up early, but it apparently counts as the quest item.

Here’s the ticket number:200415-009328

(I had it on the wrong character though, but I corrected it)

Thank you for your time

Thank you! I will escalate this ticket and see if we can just reset this quest for you.

Is there an issue with the case or something? My ticket still hasn’t been seen yet. A few people I talked to have had theirs resolved recently, any help would be appreciated

They are still investigating this to get you fixed up. I'll ping them and see where they are at!
