Maniac3020 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have never actually shot the flare gun. The first time I encountered a Minuteman patrol, they started following me everywhere. Now, whenever I encounter a patrol, wherever I am, if I am within their patrolling range, they will follow me everywhere like lost puppies. This started before I even got any mods that could possible affect it, so I'm thinking that some flag in the game got raised, and never lowered. The only thing I have figured out how to do, besides killing them, or getting them killed, is to disable them with the console. Can anyone tell me how to get the minuteman patrols to stop following me, without removing them from the game outright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper69 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 There's some weird s**t in this game. On my first playthrough, after I'd completed the mani game, I had about 50 Minutemen, all dressed the same as Preston, standing around near my workbench in Sanctuary. You say "This started before I even got any mods that could possible affect it," which implies that you had some mods installed before this started, if so I would look at them, it doesn't necessarily have to be a mod that you would think would cause it, it could be anything.

damanding Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yeah I've personally witnessed mods breaking things that on the surface appeared to be wildly unrelated to what the mod does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac3020 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 I unchecked every esp in my load order except for the official DLC and loaded up the game. Suprisingly, while the loading screen took a really long time, it did actually load. And the Minutemen were still following me around. At this point, with that information in hand, coupled with what I've seen on google search about this issue, it really strikes me as a vanilla problem. However, if it is a mod, I don't see how I can fix it, because it still occurs with all mods disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak412 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sometimes just unchecking a mod will not do it. It will need to be unistalled to really make sure if that worked. This can be a real PITA but unchecking does not remove any of the "hidden" content and only uninstalling will remove it. I have never had a MM patrol ever follow me. If I speak with them they will say something like Hi General and just keep marching like they are headed somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damanding Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Even uninstalling all mods may not necessarily fix the problem, it's most likely baked into your save game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak412 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 @ demanding - Good point about that. While uninstalling is a better fix than just unchecking, even that may not do the trick. Thanks for adding that in for future refrence. Also if you happen to see this I must offer an apology. I too thought you were male even though I know that there is never any real way to tell. At least on the internet anyway. :smile: It definitly is the Hitler looking cat that did it. You will have to slap on one of those stupid pink bows. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the reason people assume I'm male is that I'm outspoken and generally have a clue what I'm talking about...so clearly those traits can only come with certain genitalia. :D My real name is Amanda and I have a very demanding and dominant personality, hence the DAmanding nick name. I loathe pink and I particularly loathe pink bows. I fiercely loathe them. If my avatar must wear a pink bow it will be covered in the blood of those who irritated me. :D Edit: I decided to just change my member title. That should help and doesn't require any ugly pink bows. :D Edited January 19, 2017 by damanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac3020 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Okay, I just had a brainwave. I seriously wonder why this did not occur to me sooner. I checked the mod page for "We are the minutemen". I found, amongst the bug reports, this console command: stopquest minflaregun HALLELUJAH! I still don't know if a mod caused it or not, but I DON'T CARE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
