Bug report : Missing quest markers in the quest "Those!"

Post by **Question** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 1:59 am

At the quest stage "enter marigold station and deal with the source of the fire ants", there is no quest marker. After asking Bryan Wilks if there's anywhere the player can take him, the quest marker does not update to Rivet City.

Version : TTW 2.9.4b.

If I remember correctly, I don't believe there is supposed to be a quest marker for either of those. I could be mistaken, it's been a very long time since playing vanilla Those!

Anyone able to confirm if there's supposed to be a quest marker for this stage?

Both of those issues are vanilla Fallout 3 ones.

The game never gives a quest marker for the station even when the quest updates to investigate the station and the quest marker when talking to Brian Wylks if he knows of a place and he mentions Rivet City never points to Rivet City all it does is pointing back to Brian.

I've never considered it an issue. I always thought it was prompting more exploration. Bryan Wilks has a few possibilities. Rivet City, Little Lamplight, or selling him to Eulogy. I'd like to think it doesn't give you a marker so that it wouldn't be so black and white as what to do with him.

I think its an omission by the devs because :

-Explore marigold station really should point to marigold station at the very least, even if it doesnt point directly to docto lesko

-The quest doesnt update at all even after Bryan tells you about Rivet city. Sure, there are multiple choices, but the quest should update to indicate one choice when it becomes available.

Oh, did a dev say that somewhere? Do you have a link?

It's not a matter of reading into whichever developer's intention for the game but looking at literally what is only in vanilla Fallout 3. There aren't quest markers for these particular objectives during this quest in vanilla Fallout 3. We wouldn't just add them because we feel like it should have been done or what someone would have wanted to have done. That's a design decision, not a bug fix.

Alright, thats fine. What about the unofficial TTW bug fixes patch then? Is that another option?

Post by **rbroab** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 7:13 pm

They aren't going to make a marker for it because it's not a bug. There is nothing that needs to be fixed. The quest works just as intended. You're more than welcome to upload a mod that creates a marker point at Marigold Station.

Correct, such things are not bugs. Will not be adding any such things to TTW Fixes.
