YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Good evening everybody! I just completed the quest "Road to Freedom", but Deacon won't talk to me.If I try to talk to him, he says nothing.The quest "Tradecraft" won't start! I tried to use setstage, but that doesn't do anything. I checked for conflicts with xEdit, and there is no mod that touches the "Tradecraft" quest. So, what should I do?

BrotherShamus Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Did you ever solve this? I'm having the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 I didn't really solve it, but I found something out: There is a point in the conversation with Desdemona when she asks Deacon about the PlayerCharacter.If the player is low level and hasn't done any quests yet (so if the player is not the minutemen guy yet, not a brotherhood of steel member, ...), Deacon will say something like "well he/she is either smart or tough to have made it here". If I get that response in that conversation, the tradecraft quests starts properly. If I am higher level and maybe did some quests and then try to join the railroad, the tradecraft quest won't start.

BrotherShamus Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Ahh... that explains it. I waited to go to the church until I was at a pretty high level. Wound up 'fixing' it with console commands but I hate having to do that. Anyway, thanks for responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurreth Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) I never have this problem. Of course I always shoot Desdemona in the face 'cause she's such a *censored*... :laugh: Edit: lol no, that was not the C word. Female dog.

fraquar Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Never saw this issue - in 9 years of playing this game (both stock and modded). Note: Been through that particular part at least 100 times or more. Deacon's response changes based on your character progress. a) "He's got to be somebody....." b) "Newsflash boss...." In either instance - Desdemona "caves" and takes Deacon's response.

In either instance - Desdemona "caves" and takes Deacon's response. The dialogue between Desdemona and the Deacon ends perfectly, as does the next quest. The problem begins after completing the quest, when Des asks to talk to the Deacon - the quest simply does not start. Console commands don't help. Early saves and progress on other quests (including the RR help by decrypting the hunter's chip) do not affect. Starting a new game is simply unbearable due a bug...

MaxDrechsler Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 It is suspected that the problem with the start of trafecraft is related to a bug or the death of the character Ricky Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxDrechsler Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 It looks like I've found the cause of the problem... I just don't understand why the script command can't find Ricky Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
