    I can confirm this issue in 1.7.2 and it remains even using the workaround TokenConfig.ecf given to get around the Talon Seal of Credibility missing icon and transferal issues.

    Ran into the same issue just now:

    Build: 1.7.2 B3647
    Mode: Single Player
    Mode: Survival

    SERVER NAME: N/A
    SEED-ID: 123456789

    If applicable:
    MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: N/A

    Reproducibility: Always
    Severity: Critical

    Type: Quest progress blocked.

    Summary: Unable to advance "Crashed Bird" past speaking to Kezzel.

    Description: I am currently at Sanctuary trying to turn in Dr. Mandor's anomaly report but Kezzel does not acknowledge I have it in my inventory. "Crashed Bird" is therefore stuck on "The Assistant" in the PDA.

    I have attempted a "pda readdata" to force an update but this did nothing.

    I don't know if it matters or not but this save was started in version 1.7.1.1 and updated to 1.7.2 while the previous chapter at the Talon village was still running.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Start Crashed Bird mission.
    2) Advance to stage to speak to Kezzel.
    3) Speak to him, nothing happens. He acts as though the anomaly report is not in inventory.

    Screenshots, Crash Logs, any other Relevant Information or Download links:

    Current save and log attached. Save is standing in front of Agent Kezzel.

    Approuch to sanctuary. Talk with Polaris guard (to have access to elevator). Talk with Commander CArver on the second floor. Then go to Kezzel (floor 3). All working well. Do not skip the mission parts and do not use god mode.

    I don't know about the other 2 but I didn't skip any parts and haven't used god mode either.

    Do you have it in your toolbar or the connected toolbar or the inventory (backpack)
    When using 'pda rd' does the console say 'pda data refreshed' ?

    I tried with internal 1.7.3 and could not reproduce the issue. For me doctor mandos report is accepted.

    The report is in the backpack, not on the toolbar.

    "pda rd" says the data is refreshed but Dr Mandor still won't take the report.

    I've since used the PDA checkbox to skip his part of it which let the story continue, but if you need me to try something else I have the copy of the save where I'm standing in front of him.

    Does it matter that the save was started on 1.7.1?

    In 1.7.2 (unmodded and no God mode used), I tried with the report in the backpack and in the personal hotbar. I tried without and with the workaround TokenConfig.ecf given to fix the Talon Credibility token issue in 1.7.2. The report's presence is not recognised by Kezzel on speaking to them.

    @ A.F.T : I did exactly as you posted.

    @Arthmoor >> please see below. You have the wrong report.

    @all > see notes in the next comment. If this does NOT fix the issue for you, then please add your savegames. Thx!

    NOTE: If you got the SPACE ANOMALIES REPORT in your inventory and do NOT have 'Doctor Mandor's Anomalie Report' then Kezzel will NOT recognize the report. This was changed in 1.7.2. A Fresh 1.7.2 savegame will not have that issue as the Prisoner will give you the new "Doctor Mandors Anomaly report".

    To proceed open the console and type in 'give item Token 9986' < You will get the correct report and Kezzel will recognize it.

  11. You guys really need to come up with an automatic way to apply these types of changes to existing save games without needing to use all these unknown console commands all the time....

    That, or this information needs to always be made available with the patch notes with each applicable update, so players don't have to dig through 1000 discussions to figure it out.

    It should be trivial to have it automatically convert an item or something like that in existing save games.

    Better yet, the game already knows what save version it was started in. Detect that, run the command automatically on first load, etc.
    There are better ways to handle this for your players......

    Ah, thanks. I wondered if it was due to having started the save on 1.7.1 and continuing on 1.7.2.

    This would definitely be helpful to avoid confusion like this and having to keep starting over every time a minor update comes along.
