Main Quest Broken - The Waters of Life Bug

[SonDEreix]

When I enter the rotunda after the Enclave have invaded the building and Colonel Autumn, James, Janice Kaplinski, and two Enclave soldiers are locked in the control room, no conversation between James and Colonel Autumn occurs. Everyone just stands there with their thumbs up their asses. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

the load order is the issue. Heres mine for an example. You dont have a merged patch either. download fo3edit, make a copy of that, rename it to masterupdate, run master update then run fo3edit. when your mods load in the left panel, right click and look for create merged patch ( in the middlish )

Notice the load order too, sometimes even with a sorter like BOSS, you need to manually move stuff around. BOSS helps though.

 

Any compatibilty patches should in theory go towards the end of your load order, beyond what files they effect.

I just ran master update and created a merged patch, yet the problem persists. I appreciate the help, but do you have any other ideas? Master update also marked all the file headers of active esps as esms. Do you know how I can change them back to esps? Edited April 28, 2011 by SonDEreix
