Deirdre's dead, and resurrect/recycleactor doesn't seem to make her function as a settler for the Slog

[AdonisBatheus]

Hopefully this is the right section to ask this, but is there a way to get Deirdre to function properly as a settler again after resurrecting/recycling her? Found her dead body south of the Slog by a couple of dead raiders.

 

Resurrect makes her work as though it's your first time visiting the Slog; you can barter with her, but she isn't assigned to the Slog as a settler and so just stands at the Slog doing nothing. Same with the recycleactor command. She can't be assigned to work on food or as a trader, which sucks because I was hoping to assign her as a general merchant.

Fast traveling away and back doesn't fix anything after using the commands, quicksaving/quickloading doesn't do anything either. I've seen guides on console commanding companions and spawned settlers and such to function as settlers, but NPCs like Deirdre are a rare enough case that I'm not sure what to do after they die. I haven't found anything regarding her or NPCs like her, so I'm hoping to get something here.

Deidre has died in every single of the six playthrough I have. Welcome to the club.

 

The resurrect/recycle commands don't do anything regarding assignment or attachment to a settlement. They just bring an NPC back to life.

 

Save first then try this...

 

Select her in the console and try this command:

 

setpv bCommandable 1

 

Then hit enter, exit the console and try to assign her.

 

I had to use that command on Smilin' Larry a long time ago. Had to use some Google-fu to find out what it was I had used. The info is out there. Hope this helps.

Tried this, too. It made her assignable, but she wouldn't move and it wasn't assigning her to the Slog as a settler--couldn't trade (settler trading, not bartering) and the population didn't raise.

Well, it was worth a shot. Someone more familiar with bringing settlers back from the dead might have other suggestions. Or as they say in the horror movies, "Some things should remain dead."

 

Just a thought...when you fast traveled away, how long did you leave for? If you haven't already, you might try staying away for several days then going back. Maybe it takes the workshop script a few in-game days to recognize her? Dunno...just a theory.

Could this be something to do with the fact that , in my game at least, you can't assign any of the Slog Ghouls to any task ? I have to recruit additional settlers to man guard posts and shops so it is almost like they have a special script written into them. I think Deidre was killed in my first playthrough but not in any subsequent one because whenever I acquire a settlement I make giving them the best armour and weapons my first priority. I usually go straight to Hub City Auto Wreckers, kill all the Gunners and then fit the Ghouls out with their armour and weapons.
