BugsEdit
If you kill Vargas at any point in the game before starting Take it Back!, Liberty Prime will stay immobile, preventing the player from continuing the questline. [verified]
- This issue can be fixed on PC versions using the console command player.placeatme 0001d44e 1 to respawn Paladin Vargas and proceed with the quest.
