MetalTxus Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) "I just need to talk to the people. Meet me after."John Hancock. No matter how long I wait that's the only thing he says to me. And it's been like that for almost half my gameplay. I don't know what he needs to do. Google finds nothing with that sentence so I have no clue what I need to do in order to be able to recruit him again. He seems just glitched out. EDIT: I'm starting to think that maybe I recruited him with the "UnlimitedFollowers.esp" and glitched him before he actually became a follower. And given he's set to a settlement he won't go back to Goodneighbour to give his speech.EDIT2: I got him back to Goodneighbour with the help of registrator2000's mod.Still, even after having waited for an hour over 30 times, he just roams around in his room and never gets to giving his speech.

jjb54 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 To get John Hancock as a follower, you have to: You have to finish the "BIG DIG" - Quest and you have to do it in his favor. Now you did not post that you had done this Quest ... so that is why I am posting this answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then he just apparently randomly stopped letting me and started saying that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 ... okay I missed "again" .. my bad. Where did you dismiss him to, when you were done with him as a follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dismissed him to Goodneighbor as I understood he was gonna give a speech or something to their civilians but that never happened.I recently relocated him to Spectacle Island though since I moved all the followers there.

jjb54 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I read one post on a different thread that tried this and had it work: 1st - MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR CURRENT SAVED GAMES. Use the console command: ~ prid 00022615 <shift/enter>moveto player <enter>~ to close console. John should be now with you. Try to be somewhere "neutral" and have NO followers with you at the time. Then they finally had the prompt to FOLLOW ME and it worked after that. I cannot attest to it - as I have no had this issue, if it will work in your situation or not. But hey - give it a try? If it works - obviously SAVE YOUR GAME at that point and hopefully this 'erases' whatever 'bug' might have been at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalTxus Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) prid 00022615 <shift/enter>moveto player <enter> I use the console all the time and the only thing those commands do is select the npc and move it to your current position so I can say with 100% conviction that doing it won't fix anything. I appreciate you looking into it but my guess is only someone who had this problem before and managed to solve it could help me. Whatever you try to find I will probably already have. Sorry about that. EDIT: And, of course, I had no follower with me whenever I tried to recruit him. Edited May 15, 2016 by MetalTxus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as stated, the person that tried this, as a 'last resort' - found it did work. The option to follow was there. But it is your game and I respect that.

Can get him to follow me but that's still the only thing he says. Edited May 16, 2016 by MetalTxus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
