HELP! Stuck in quest 'escape from vault 87'

[Ranokoa]

Ok so i help fawkes and he gives me the geck, he tells me to leave so as soon as i do i realize the quest hasnt updated. It keeps telling me to escape to the living quarters... i do which takes me out of the lab quarters. THEN it tells me to go BACK to the lab quarters and i do and it just keeps repeating! The dang thing wont update. I tried movetoqt to immediantly take me where it wants to go, it only takes me in the middle of the lab quarters right outside fawkes cell, but there is nothing there and the pointer isnt even pointing there.

 

Someone either please help me, or find the quest script that is next in line and make some kind of mod for me to upload the when i do whatever the hell it automatically updates. Thanks

Trying not to spoil the quest, you need to find the one door that you could not open previously. I believe it's right at the bottom of some stairs? Don't worry about your map pointing the wrong direction, I've had that countless times. If you used console commands something may be off, I would load a save as soon after getting the GECK as you can, then just try to walk out normally.

If nothing, then you may have a mod conflict.

It sounds like your quest may have glitched- in order to get back to the lab area from the GECK chamber, you would have had to pass directly through the target room. If you walk back from the GECK chamber towards the lab area, you will go down some stairs and enter an empty room with three doors. This is where you need to go (the rest of the 'escape' is, um, handled for you). The door on your left leads back to the labs, the door on the right leads to the main Vault entrance (which you could not use because of the radiation outside; this door was sealed when you passed through with Fawkes on the way to the GECK).

 

Ordinarily, you would not be able to just pass back through, as the moment you walk fully into the room a plot event triggers. You might try reloading an earlier save, if you have one. You could also try the "ResetQuest" or "GetQuestCompleted" commands- but make a new save before you do, because I've never tried either at that point in the game and I don't know what will happen.
