This is my first playthrough and I accidentally accepted the Bronze under the Lake quest, thus locking me to the Dozen. I didn't realise there were mutually exclusive factions in the game and am now unable to join the Crucible Knights. I haven't yet completed the Bronze(...) quest. According to this post, this "factionlock" was fixed but I am unable to abandon the quest. I saw a hack at https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/72460-choosing-a-faction-in-defiance-bay/?p=1672678 to allow me to take the 2nd Crucible quest regardless of my status with the Twelve, but sadly it didn't work - Clyver still doesn't give me the second Crucible quest. Am I missing something?
