Robert Kogan 'Embarrass the Altruist division' mission bugs

[VeiledOwl]

1. I convinced the Freakshow to turn on the Altruists (dialog branch 'Screw that! > They're just going to let us go? > But wouldn't the cops know? > You know the Skulls they busted earlier? > I hacked Blackwing > Do you really believe that? > Dreck's a sell out.) , but they ran right past Siren Singer when she spawned - neither faction aggroed to each other. (Which may have been because I was playing a Stalker and had hide toggled on; the first battle in the mission doesn't trigger until my character was noticed by both parties, typically via Assassin's Strike) Since they had no target, the Freaks returned to their spawn point.

 

2. I got Siren Singer to 50% of her health and she called for reinforcements. Much to my surprise, she and the other Real-ID protectors then decided to murder each other instead of me.

 

3. I dealt with all of them, then proceeded to the computer for the press conference. I was told: "You should wait until the Altruists and Freaks are dealt with before you start the call." The mission could not be progressed as the Freaks were alive, so I relogged to reset it.

 

4. Dealing with the Freaks via violence instead of manipulating them to attack Crey allowed the mission to progress as intended, but there was no text objective in the window telling me to confront the press after I defeated Siren Singer.
