What Atom Requires Quest bug, Mother Icon & High Confessor

[H4XF4XTOR]

EDIT : disabling and re enabling "Full interface dialogue mod" fix it.
Mod please close this topic. Thanks

After completing "Vision In The Fog" quest, " What Atom Requires" triggers and there's an objectives to "show the mother icon to high confessor" .
Talking to High confessor will not trigger a dialogue [show mother icon] and [like to help a family] . Instead , the dialogue shown was like it skip a stage where i need to help high confessor.

 

This bugged block me from progressing forward since the quest objective stuck with High confessor. I cant complete What atom requires because "Witch hunt wont trigger" and "Mother icon" stuck with me.
I have completed other atom child quest, sister mai,zealot, zealot ware etc all done . Using command setstage , completequest, resetquest, completeobjectives all do nothing to fix this bug.

 

I cant pinpoint a mod that can interfere with this. I go to earlier save and still the same, its like the bug came from High confessor himself. I use dialgue interface mod but i doubt that screw up the quest.

 

Appreciate if anyone can help.

What the dialogue should've been :

 

The dialogue that i got :

Resurrecting this thread

Exact same bug with Tektus, none of his dialogue seems to work correctly for me. Disabling or disabling and re-enabling

my dialogue mod didn't fix it . I managed to find the correct consol commands by rummaging in the ck.

Primarily it was the show Tektus the icon quest which didn't fire (he behaved as if I was already a trusted in spite of the fact I'd literally only just walked up to him for the first time) and therefore borked 'What Atom Requires'.

Set Stage DLC03CoA_QuestPointers 200 fixed that. with other quest stages being the ones responsible for the rest.

Auberts stuff is DLC03CoA_FFNucleus02 - stage 10 fires the quest off and hands you Tektus's note.

I could do all the quests - just not give him any results of them - where I was handing in to anyone else in the Nucleus worked perfectly

Then I had to complete What Atom Requires with consol after I had consol staged the two where I handed in to him - from memory that was stage 600 - don't quote me on that lol.

Then he also borked when I wanted to show him Martins holotape, so standing within dialogue range of him and using DLC03MQ06a 45, moved that one on to the point you play the tape for him and the quest progressed smoothly after that.

Its weird though I have done loads of playthroughs of Fallout and only hit this bug on this one and using pretty much the same mods (certainly haven't changed anything dialogue related) used on previous playthroughs where it worked perfectly

Running my entire load order through Fo4 edit didn't show anything editing Tektus or that dialogue tree so slightly baffling but not had any issues with dialogue at all other than with him.

I try the 2 above solutions but i cant fix this problem, even when i ignore this quest (what atom requires) i face again the bug because Tektus dont offer a dialogue option after you show him dimas fake records of Martin in Reformation quest, any other idea to fix this damm dlc dialogues bugss??

 

This is what i got in Reformation Quest

 

 

And what i Get after Reformation Option show Dimas tape....

I just had this problem on my plathrough. I don't know how to fix this problem mod-wise, but the command gentester mentioned did help me continue the quest:

setstage DLC03MQ06a 45

 

Hope this helps!

My game is bugged like the original thread. Iâm still confused to how to give Tektus the mother icon. So which quest id and stage I need to spesifically reset it and give the mother icon first?

 

EDIT: I do not use any User Interface mod for dialogue, maybe one like Pipboytabs and HoloTime. Is these mods really makes the game breaks?

I had the same problem even before using a dialogue mod.

 

I loaded a save before entering the Nucleus for the first time and used

getstage DLC03CoA_QuestPointers

to verify what stage I was. Got GetStage >> 200 as answer.

Now comes a tricky part. If you talk with Tektus after the sermon and have the dialogue bug, the game will set stage to 400. To complete the "Show the icon to the High Confessor" I had to use

setstage DLC03CoA_QuestPointers 230

before talking to Tektus for the first time. This will complete that stage in the log, but Tektus will not start "Witch Hunt" yet, even with the "Help the High Confessor" in quest log. This can be solved using

setstage DLC03CoA_FFNucleus02 10

to obtain the Confessor's note and start "Witch Hunt". If you use getstage DLC03CoA_QuestPointers after this, you will get the stage 400 as should be and the other quests should progress as normal (I talked to the Zealot after leaving the room to obtain "The Heretic" quest and stage advanced to 425).

I have had this problem for many many playthroughs. Maybe 6 or 7 times. Each time is the same bug and I have FINALLY found the problem. DO NOT clean DLCCoast.esm file. Cleaning the file will cause this bug. By cleaning the master file means this bug is present even without any mods present. We have been advised to clean master files for the modding community with this advice:

I cleaned all master files except DLCCoast.esm and the bug is gone. Show Mother Icon and Witch hunt progresses normally. Please close this topic as solved thanks.

[cyberzerk]

So, basically, cleaned master files are the culprit?

As things stand, I'm many many hours through a new playthrough, and as far as What Atom Requires and Witch Hunt goes, it seems they're gonna have to be completed via console, or not at all, and I can pretty much expect more things to be borked after that.

Fun times...

Good god, High Confessor Tektus was driving me insane. I couldn't hand in any quests to him at all, and any quests that involved him were all broke. I tried some of the console commands like setstage etc, but ended up in an endless loop of having to use more console commands to advance anything involving him. I thought to myself, screw it, and reloaded an earlier save. This save still had What Atom Requires, Reformation, and Cleansing the Land. I figured it was too late to swap back to the original DLCCoast.esm, but I tried it for the hell of it. ALL quests involving him worked perfectly afterwards.... no console commands needed. Thank you BaekSoo!

 

TLDR: Skip console commands, just roll back the DLCCoast.esm to the non-cleaned version. One can find this file in the \Fallout 4\Data\FO4Edit Backups\ directory. It has to be renamed back to DLCCoast.esm, and placed into the Data folder.
