Forum:Power armor training FNV problem

I'm attempting to get power armor training from eldar hardin after i made him eldar after completing the still in the dark quest. i get past all of his dialauge and the screen fades away and then it freezes. i can look around and access the start menu but nothing else, not even my pip boy. i already killed the van graffs when i asked him for it so i never left the bunker. does anyone know why its freezing up on me? thanks for any help.

I had the same problem on the PC version but with Elder Mcnamara ( or something ). Intalled the transmitter in black mountain, but when i tell him to show me how to use the power armor the bug occurs - Screen fades and then I cant look horizontally ( left or right), only vertical, cant jump , cant move , cant shoot ... , but im able to use my pip-boy and shit , but this doesnt any good since you cant fast travel from there. Also the quest is not registered as completed - it still say "report back to the elder". Im not even albe to put on the Power armor as it still requires training *WTF*. By now i couldnt find a solotion, very annoying bug ... / by Trivium

It is trying to load the cutscene where the elder talks to you outside of the normal conversation menu, where you cant move or use your pipboy, he is supposed to say something about how to put power armor on then the screen should fade (like it does when you get implants) and when it returns you should enter back into conversation with him. the only thing I can think would cause this is either a really bad glitch, or your standing too far away from him and since he is sitting down he wont move to you to train you, try standing closer to him when you start conversation. Other than that I have no idea, hope that helps...CloudsJudgment

got the same bug here...the vicinity doesn't matter. Used console commands "CompleteQuest 0001638f0" and "setpccanusepowerarmor 1" to overcome this one. So many bugs in this game... ://

If you recruit Arcade Gannon and do his companion quest to get the Enclave remnants back together you will receive power armor training and a free suit of Enclave power armor. It's a shorter and easier quest as well and does not appear to be bugged either.
