The Brain Benders of Auntie's Choice Bugged.

[Eiralin]

I finished helping Hogarth with the automech parts and afterwards he refused to talk to me so I moved on. After finishing other quest and getting the quest The Brain Benders of Auntie's Choice one of the objectives said talk to him but no conversation is starting. He's still acting like I just finished the automech parts quest and saying the same lines of dialogue making it impossible to continue the quest. Don't really have any idea on how to fix this but this is where I was told to report bugs. Thanks for any help!

I have the exact same issue. Playing on PC Game Pass. Read people elsewhere with the same problem. First patch dis not fix it.

I'm having this same problem as well and have reported it. I already had the parts and have briefly entered the Vox relay prior to talking to Hogarth. I'm not sure, but it feels like something about that sequence of events is breaking the resolution to the Malfunctioning Mechanicals quest.

Having the exact same issue as Eiralin have also put in a support ticket

yep, same. On xbox gamepass. if i turn in the mech parts quest, he just says some repeating dialogue, no multiple choice conversation like before. When i complete the brainbenders quest objectives, he still acts the same and won't let me ask him to let the people move away. I'd like to turn in the quest, and then also do the brainbender quest, but it seems bugged. Very annoying for completionists. I would prefer to not have to load up my last save from before i started the brainbender quest, like 10+ hours ago.
