Buggy Taffington Settler/Vendors

[kevkiev]

Ran into a glitch with 2 of my 4 Taffington Boathouse vendors. The clinic and weapons dealer are fine but, although I got the "talk" thingy, I can't initiate any real dialogue with either the restaurant vendor or clothing store vendor. The restaurant vendor simply gives me the usual settler banter (good day is full stomach etc.), while the clothing store vendor only responds with "yeah?" or "huh?" as though he was some random wastelander. There's no interaction possible with either, not to barter, or even to trade equipment.

 

I tried reassigning the settlers to another task then assigning back, scrapping the store then rebuilding, moving the settlers to another settlement then moving them back, but nothing worked. I thought for a moment that moving to another settlement and moving back worked, as on the return I got the normal dialogue. But when the shop opened (it was night when they returned) it was back to glitchiness.

 

I kinda wonder if it's something to do with Taffington specifically. Oddly enough, I was unable to build a restaurant at my desired location (new structure just south of the original - kinda starts on the banks and goes over the water) but no restaurant showed up in the stores menu. When I went to the north end of the boundary (i.e. by the original house) the restaurant showed up in the menu so I selected it, walked over to where I wanted it, and activated. Although I didn't have that problem with the clothing store. However, one time the restaurant vendor wandered over to the original house and I was able to activate the barter dialogue. Once she returned to the restaurant though, it was again bugged.

 

The 2 vendors that work okay, though, are next to the clothing store, so they seem unaffected by location. So I'm kinda at a loss.

 

I found another post on the net where someone couldn't access the restaurant in the stores menu except while at the northern part of Taffington (he did what I did - select it there then move over and activate), but there was nothing about not being able to initiate barter dialogue.

 

Anyways, just wondering if anyone has any insight into this weirdness.

thought I'd start a new one 'cuz it seemed Taffington-specific. It's not. From the web, it seems a lot of people are having this problem... #**%! bugged out game. Anyways, can ignore this thread... let it slip into oblivion.

I know this is an old post, but after stumbling upon it, I would like confirm the exact same glitch under identical setting at Taffington and I fixed it the exact same way, moving them Northward adjacent to the house, though it was a pain in the ass as I had built a 2 floor General store. But thank you for this post , helped me solve my problem! :dance:
