Also I had the problem with expired hidden heist timer and all absurds, that may produce this quest because of that...
I managed to workaround it with native PoE2 console.
After finishing small quest for Bardatto (
), I returned to Bardatto with report about planned heist, after reporting refused participation in the ambush, conversation ended, but then began conversation again, suggested negotiations attempt (such option appeared now), then went to Valera's house, then before conversation with family's head I've run the console and input such stuff subsequently:
to enable cheating (blocks achievements, sadly):
iroll20s
(enter)
setglobalvalue b_VD_Heist_Time_Passed 0
(enter)
setglobalvalue n_VD_The_Heist_Valera 0
(enter)
setglobalvalue n_VD_The_Heist_main 0
(enter)
Some of the above might be redundant, not sure, but only after the last setglobalvalue instead of "bazzo" sentence (still there after first) or another variant for heist already in progress (after the second), I finally got conversation with negotiating option and finished whole quest this way.
