Hey.
I just started playing underrail today, i created a character, did the tutorials and explored the base and where i could go around it. Ok so, the first quest, activating the generator and re taking the out posts. I noticed a few switches around that flip right back after you flip them, found the generator and activated it by inserting the module or whatever it was.
It didn't immediately occur to me that now i have to go and flip those switches on but i did this. I did it to all five i believe , three at the very least.
I didn't actually realise that by simply flipping those switches that i was re taking the outposts. I flipped every switch that i found (really i thought all that i was doing was truning the lights on). Then i found myself stuck. I was walking around and around in circles. I found all the trap doors and ladders and made sure that i had not missed anything.
I killed all of the hound rats and found the old mans watch, i did not kill that guy with the pet hound rats, i let him live.
More walking around and around and venturing off to where the psi betteles were. It seemed obvious that i wasn't supposed to be there yet.
I noticed that in some areas you can target the rocks. So i thought that maybe i needed explosives or a sledge hammer to smash through the rocks to gain access to new areas.
So i went back to the base and managed to trade my sub machine gun that i traded for the old mans watch and obtained a sledge hammer.
But of course that did not work. I grew tired or endlessly walking around in circles and back and fourth. Thought maybe i had to talk to someone back at base to trigger something?
But when i looked at my notes/quests the quest was not complete.
So i started to google. I watched a you tube video and that was when i learned that i was indeed re taking the outposts by flipping all of those switches.
So i guess that my game is broken and that i will have to start again? I was only using quick save and auto save. I tried exiting the game and reloading but of course it's stuck that way on my save(s).
Pretty annoying waste of my night. I didn't find anything on google about this particular bug? is it known/happened to anyone else?
I guess at least if i choose to play again i can make a character quicker and skip the tutorials and explore the base much faster and its not a particulary hard quest.
Still really annoying and definitely wasted my night. Probably wasted 4-6 hours if you include walking in circles, googling and typing this post ^^;;
If i play it again i'll do the odd manual save..
If there is a fix or suggestion would be nice. Not sure if the dev would like a copy of my save sent to them at all?
EDIT: ok so i was just reading the walk through/wiki and decided to try re loading and going back and talking to Tanner. I was sure that i had already tried this but perhaps not?(maybe i went and spoke to him earlier before i had flipped at least three or maybe i spoke to the old guy whom lost his watch and thought that would trigger the quest complete? or both?) ^^;
Anyways, once i had reloaded i checked my notes and it still did not say that i had re taken the outposts/the text was not green and the box was not ticked. But i thought i'd go speak to Tanner anyways and alas, the option to tell him that i had activated all the outposts that i had found was there!
So i can play more now. Sorry if it was a false accusation but i still fail to see why the quest wasn't done in my notes and that it did not tell me to go speak to Tanner?
