blocker Can't Speak with Minister Clarke

[Makan]

I'm on "The City and the Starts" mission and I'm at the part where I have to go to Minister Clarke's house. The issue is that the one guard outside is hostile. I can't speak to him to trigger the next part of the mission. 

If I sneak inside via the back, I have to kill all the guards inside to get to Clarke. Which lowers my rep so as soon as I leave the house, everything in Byzantium shoots me. I can't progress further. 

I don't understand why it's only that ONE guard outside the house that is hostile. I've not done anything to make the NPCs in that area hostile.

I am having the exact same issue on XBox One. It's frustrating because up until this point I was having a stellar playthrough. Now I am stopped dead in the game having done every side and companion quest I could find and the only way forward is the next stage of the main quest. I have been a peacekeeper on this playthrough and it would be highly disappointing to have my first playthrough wrecked by this seemingly uncommon bug. I had to scour the internet just to find this one other person having the same issue. I have loved Obsidian sine the Knights of the Old Republic days. (Still waiting on the cut content from 2 ultimate edition by the way, and if you could convince Disney to let you make KOTOR 3 I will buy you a trophy) 

That about wraps it up. Gamertag is Tolairius1 on XBox, I beg you to fix this so I can continue my playthrough before everything I've accomplished becomes stale in my memory and I have to start all the way back at the beginning again.

Did you fail to pick up the Holographic Disguise?  There's a chip for it somewhere in Byzantium (I forgot where exactly) that will let you sneak in the back door without trouble.

Same problem for me on the PS4.

I don’t understand what I did to offend that one single guard, but he is not happy with me!
