WZombie169 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So, I'm experiencing two pretty debilitating bugs in Fallout 4 right now, and I'm wondering if anyone here might be able to help. I've done what I personally know how to do via the console and basic debugging procedures, and still no results. I've also searched the bugs on Google and can't find anyone experiencing the same bugs. Bug #1On Character A, the Railroad quest "Tradecraft" is bugged. The bug occurs shortly after I rendezvous with Deacon under the overpass outside Lexington. I follow him up onto the overpass and to the end where you're supposed to meet with the tourist, Ricky Dalton. However, much to my dismay, Ricky Dalton is not there for me to talk to. I've tried reloading the save, going to a different cell, saving, reloading THAT save, then going with Deacon to meet him. I've also tried using the console to set the stage to the next step via the command "setstage 6fa37 4" but that didn't work either. What I'm thinking I'll try next is using the console to spawn Dalton at me, but, I can't seem to find his reference ID number. So, if anyone could possibly get me that id number, or suggest another possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Bug #2On Character B, the bug I've stumbled upon seems to have a bit more to it as to what could be causing the bug. It revolves around Preston Garvey and things having to do with the Minutemen quests and settlements. From what I've seen, Garvey and generally most things related to him seem to be a generous source of bugs in this game, so I'm not too surprised. The first thing I noticed was that random settlement quests from Garvey were bugged. For example, he would give me a quest "Ghoul Problems at Greentop Nursery". Unfortunately, when I go to Greentop Nursery, neither of the two settlers there will engage in dialogue with me, therefore, I can't progress the quest. Another example would be the quest "Clear out Starlight Drive-in". The only objective the quest has is "Clear out Starlight Drive-in." So, I go there, clear it out, kill all the ghouls I can find, but, the objective doesn't complete. Now, I haven't tried using set stage commands with these, but it's something I could try I suppose. But then there's part two of the bug. I figured one thing that could be causing the issues with the quests was a possible hang up with Garvey himself. Not sure why, but, Bethesda games aren't known for their coherent programming. I go to Garvey to see if he has any dialogue to offer or any quests to give, but, he's nor any of his buddies (Mama Murphy and the other people you find him with in Concord) are actually in Sanctuary. Well, coincidentally, I went back to the Museum of Freedom to pick up the Perception Bobblehead and I find them all hanging out in the bottom room, in the exact same formation you find them in after you initially use the Power Armor to kill the Deathclaw in Concord at the start of the game. I talk to Garvey and he offers me the quest Taking Independence. I accept, go to the meeting point outside the Castle, where, you'll want to note, he is alone...without any other Minutemen. I engage in dialogue, choose an attack plan, but, Garvey doesn't move. He just stands there. So I went ahead and started clearing out the courtyard, I kill every single Mirelurk in the Castle, destroy most of the eggs, but Garvey is still standing the in diner and my objective "Clear the courtyard" hasn't progressed. So basically on both of my characters, one of the major questlines is stuck. I would be greatly appreciative of any help I could get. Sorry for the wall of text and thanks in advance.

Lisnpuppy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The issue with setting the stage of a quest, if it takes then you can not go back unless you go back to an old save. So did the quest move forward but the person still not appear or did you just not get an update at all? Here is the only thing I found on him and you can try thishttp://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Deacon Good luckAlso this is the page on the questhttp://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Tradecraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WZombie169 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Deacon will appear, it's the "tourist" guy you're supposed to meet with, Ricky Dalton, that won't appear. When I set the quest stage, it's just that nothing happens. Literally nothing changes, as if I didn't even enter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah, Ricky doesn't seem anyone has found a code for him yet. I have also not found a bug involving him not appear thought this quest has been bugged from beginning to end. Have you tried doing it again from an earlier save by chance?

WZombie169 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah, I tried. Granted, it wasn't a whole lot earlier, but I loaded one from an entirely different cell. Is there someway I could remove the quest from my log via console and restart it? Or maybe set it back to an earlier stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_console_commands There is a code to reset but it can't be used once the last stage is completed. How well it works IDK. I would rather go back to a save prior to starting the quest. I realize not everyone is as paranoid as I am about saving. I save...a great deal....I mean that...so much I must zip up saves with load orders and put them elsewhere. But I always have a save Pre-whatever lol I hope you get it sorted. I would def report this issue to Beth though if you are using mods they prob won't be interested and that is as it should be. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
