Possible work around for it...
I found several quest items left in my inventory & found that I can actually sell them, so after completing Quest XYZ you can sell them prior to starting a New Game+ -- No I haven't beaten the game, so I can't verify if they magically re-appear in your inventory upon starting up again.
@Pyro411 brings up the bigger issue: special quest items remain in your inventory until sold. This includes Liam's special armor requisition and any Tempest trophies (model ships) you buy from merchants. It should affect all related quests. On the one hand, it might be an easy way to start with certain goodies ahead of time, like those models, but it must be screwing up numerous quests in NG+. The Movie Night questline is probably the worst, since it's a chain, but given the number of bugs with doing things out of order in this game I wouldn't want to tempt fate by keeping any special items across playthroughs (except, perhaps, those ships, which don't have an associated quest).
The ideal fix (IMO) would be to remove these special items automatically from inventory upon fulfilling the associated quest. (Even better, remove those special item blueprints from R&D too! I don't need to be able to craft Liam's stuff repeatedly.) The models are again another matter, as they have no quest, but they're still bugged in that they remain in merchants' inventories and so can be bought multiple times. Those too should be removed as soon as they're bought/placed on display to avoid cluttering the inventories of the PC and the merchants involved. IIRC, that's the way it worked in the OT, so I don't see why it shouldn't be able to be implemented in MEA as well.
As far as I can tell, while you can sell Liam's armor, the cybernetic for Alain, and the humane trap, you cannot sell or destroy any items that fall into the special category such as the ships, and the movie night quest items.
I did find that, if I pushed through things and "completed" Liam's final request for the movie then it would count as finished. I could talk to the others and it would play their scene with me given the item (even if I never got the quest from them, like Lexi and Jaal) but it didn't seem to effect anything. I didn't actually do the movie night scene after doing that, however.
So it may be safe to speak to Lexi and skip immediately to finishing Liam's final request, since you'll already have the item in your inventory. Might give that a try and see what happens.
- Also have this happening on PS4, can confirm these items cannot be sold or destroyed. Hopefully they fix this soon so it's safe to talk to my squad again.
