r/metro_exodus

Hoping someone can tell me why I can’t seem to interact with anything after I’ve found the suits in the fire station. I know I’m supposed to go to the roof and use the zip line but I literally can’t interact with any of the lockers, crafting table and door that takes me to the roof. Any ideas?

Playing Exodus for the first time (love it btw). During the church mission, I knocked out the guards via stealth. No kills. I don’t remember if I was spotted but no combat ensued, alarms raised, etc. On the boat out, Anna said I “raised some hell”. Didn’t think anything of it, figured it was just general dialogue for the mission, maybe for knocking people out. I saved and quit for the night. When I returned, the Artyom summary of what happened the previous chapter described the church being a trap and what not and that luckily he was able to escape with “no causalities”. A friend of mine I was in a discord call with who played the game said if Anna didn’t say you were a ninja, then you got negative karma for the church. He didn’t know why the summary gave me a positive outcome but I’m confused now. I saw (and heard) it wasn’t hard to get the good ending but it also seems like it could be easy to get the bad ending too. Any clarification on this? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: going for the good ending btw
