MikeCobalt Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Hey :), I've just added the "The Danse Dilemma (aka Face Maxson etc.)" mod to an older playthrough as I was planning to challenge Maxson, I stopped in at the police station first to chat with Scribe Haylen but a surprise was she said she was proud I stood up to Maxson (past tense) and Danse was lonely in one of the bunkers. I flew to the Prydwen but Danse was still there waiting for me to take him on a quest, like he always has been since we both went there. I've destroyed the Institute with the *Minutemen long ago. I know I threw out alot of the BOS quests doing that (pfft, whatever) and now Danse is safe however this is still an incongruity in the game. I don't like the BOS, Maxson especially (too eager to kill and their blatant animosity that I did that with the Minutemen instead of allowing them to "Mow Down" everybody in the building really inflames that). The BOS and my Minutemen/Commonwealth are headed towards a showdown that will likely start with "Somebody accidently (or not) shot somebody else", its guaranteed the BOS will react so I need to bring up the quest where I fire on the Prydwen cause they wont leave just because I want them too (They certainly are not the Big Dog on this block). I need to know how to get their quest line to resume.
fraquar Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Quote If you have already finished the Blind Betrayal (while saving Danse's life) and beaten the main quest with either the Brotherhood or the Minutemen; you can talk to Danse while he is not your companion to get a new dialogue option (medium repeatable speech check) that will trigger the duel quest. If you have finished the main quest without completing Blind Betrayal, you're out of luck unfortunately. From your description it sounds like it's as no-go. That is from the last Options post on the mod web page.

Ok, So things now are set that the MM and BOS will remain allies forever (with the RR on the side). That was my original plan to get through this with as many still alive and as friendly as possible. What I was thinking is the BOS seem to like showing up just as I'm finishing with the shooting and in some of the bigger firefights they show up while the firing is still very much going on. With them shooting, my party (Cait, Buddy/Dogmeat) and any MM that have joined in (Patrols/Nearby Checkpoints/Provisioners and their Escorts/Those I called in) that sometimes turns into *Alot of lead, lasers and others flying around. I have seen too often sometimes friendly's do sometimes shoot each other, usually I just wait for it to be over and see how it turns out but if all this involves the BOS it might be a good opportunity to rid the Commonwealth of the Brotherhood (They started it by killing xxxxxx). The General sentiment of the citizens of the Commonwealth towards the BOS is usually not a good one and again, they are too trigger-happy and lore wise, they horde whatever they get, they don't *Help/support anybody but themselves; also, what's up with demanding Tribute, Supply's etc. and what if my people refuse? It's good we're all friends, but I don't think that will last and I won't allow *Any Intimidation, Coercion. Taking from or any of that to anybody in the Commonwealth. Maybe I should just keep the Quest code on the side, if this does happen I'll setstage it to fire on the Prydwen, contingency plan (If it works). Edited June 6 by MikeCobalt
fraquar Posted June 6 Posted June 6 In general, if you keep either of the BoS or the Institute alive - they will look to destroy the other factions over time. At the very best you can expect from them is extreme short term toleration until they get what they want.

Theres another good reason for my contingency plan. in my game the RR is still going, I've even offered assistance to Des. Twice, she comes up with very odd reasons not to and believes the RR *Must be isolated (I can't believe all of them agree with her on that (Insane). So, this now also means I should keep on the lookout (If possible, in this game) for the BOS starting some "Righteous Warfare" on them and wiping them out in one big raid. The BOS under Maxson just can't be trusted, not even for a week at a time. it would *Almost be acceptable to provoke "Only" Maxson alone and leave all the rest,
