[BUG]: ME1 Completion of UNC: Hostile Takeover not possible

Platform: PC/Steam

Game: Mass Effect 1

Mission: UNC Hostile Takeover

I completed UNC: Hostile Takeover in this order:

  1. Received Mission from Helena Blake
  2. Completed first pirate base in Hades Gamma Cluster => Dis => Klensal

While clearing out first pirate base, captain was killed, but mission does not progress it always shows that I should go to that base and kill that captain, but captain is already dead and that base is empty. It is not possible to complete the mission (might be, because captain was killed by party member, but not player).

    NP, but then there is not much else you could try except for loading an older save and maybe try a different approach, meaning doing the missions in a different order.

     Regardless if I choose "Walk away." or "Disband the group." (both options are available to me), it results in a gun fire and her death, rather than her agreeing to disband.

    You need to intimidate or charm her.  You can't convince her to disband the group peacefully with normal options.

    You are right, but "Walk away." and "Disband the group." are the charm and intimidate options.

    @Schachmatt123 Sorry for long delay (was on vacation, so did not check my e-mail much), but by traveling to second location, base is just empty (only turrets were active near the entrance). Just ignored this quest, did not remember it to be that buggy (this not the first bug), even with a lot of mods on original it was not that buggy. ☹️

    Sorry I've completed the helena blake assignment four different times, and on one of them I actually had enough renegade points to intimidate her, and everything worked as expected every time.

    I had this problem and finally figured it out.  I forget which of the two pirate bases it was, but I somehow I missed looting one spot.  The item was a laptop, terminal, something, that had info about the gang and its activities and/or locations.  Without having received that info the mission wouldn't progress even after killing the *other* captain.

    I got a pop up immediately saying that the base was cleared after the last guy, the crime boss I think, died. Happened the same way on both.

    The only quest I recall getting a pop up after hacking a computer was the Cerberus base mission. But I may be forgetting a different one.

    Usually the mission starts by finding Helena (or hacking the terminal at c-sec) and killing the bosses to get a pop-up. After this you can find Helena in the new Fortuna system.

    I revisited both planets but it seems I looted everything possible but Hades - Dis - Klensal is still marked ad unfinished

    It's not the first time I played ME:LE but the first time I got this bug

    Hey @Future_Shiron

    I'm going to lock this thread for now as it's been inactive for a year, but if you're still having this issue, please don't hesitate to make a new thread about it!
