Possible Nuka World quest breaking interaction

[ZengarZonvolt]

If this is in the wrong thread guys please just move this.

I may have figured out a potential cause of the preston garvey glitch that causes him to get stuck in dialogue with you the player while initiating the minrecruit01(The First Step) and Min01(Sactuary), according to xedit it all points to the nuka world dlc. this lead me this route of checking it because across the net, people's concerns were the interaction of your action in the nuka world dlc and the minutemens, which lead me to checking both the main game esm and the nuka world esm for potential conflict and lo and behold, min01(sactuary) has a conflict with nuka world. still in the process of checking if uncoupling that aspect of nuka world with the main game will solve this issue

DLCNukaWorld.esm modifies two Minutemen quests. Those are Minrecruit00 (The First Step) and Min01 (Sanctuary). Specifically, the changes are as follows:

Min01:

If you inspect this one in FO4Edit, especially older versions of FO4Edit, it looks like Nuka World is deleting most of that quest. That is not the case. The "Partial Form" flag is applied to the override, which tells the game to ignore any changes DLCNukaWorld.esm makes to Min01 (specifically to form 0005DEE4) and to instead move on to loading the child records such as dialogue and scenes.

On that subject, what Nuka World does to Min01 is add new dialogue tied to Nuka World, where Preston brushes you off and refuses to give you the quest until you've wiped out the raiders in Nuka World. This is one of the sources for the quest "Open Season", and only applies if you progressed through the Nuka World questline before rescuing the Minutemen. The specific conditions for this set of dialogue are:

1. The player has completed stage 100 of Min01 (that's an initial setup stage, iirc tied to Preston and the gang making it to Sanctuary after leaving the Museum of Freedom)
2. The player has not completed stage 2000 of Min01 (which means you have not agreed to lead the Minutemen and Preston is not yet your follower)
3. The player has claimed at least one raider outpost in the Commonwealth for the Nuka World raiders.
4. The player has not yet been kicked out of the Nuka World raider gangs.
5. The player has not yet run through the greeting that Preston does before sending you off to help Tenpines Bluff. (This condition only applies to one of the two overriding lines of dialogue. The second is Preston getting exasperated because you haven't gone and wiped out the raiders yet, and does not require this condition)

This also includes adding two new scenes. The first, obviously, is the one where he refuses your help and tells you to wipe out the raiders in Nuka World. The second scene is a variation of the first that happens when you speak to him without having completed Open Season, where he refuses to have anything more to do with you until the raiders are dead. Overall this includes 18 new lines of dialogue, some of which is player dialogue and some of which is Preston Garvey.

MinRecruit00:

First off, the quest itself is just an identical to master override. Nothing changed, and nothing special is happening. It only exists in DLCNukaWorld.esm because new dialogue and a new scene have been added to the quest.

Just like with Min01, the additions here involve Preston cutting the player off until they've killed the Nuka World raiders. The dialogue is actually shared with Min01, and the conditions are essentially the same. This quest override doesn't add any "new" dialogue, it just plays dialogue that Nuka World added to Min01 and adds a new scene to use that dialogue.
