[WIP] Russell, a new companion by Someguy

I realize that this thread might be dead, but I'm having an issue with the Hunter, Hunted quest. I've advanced to the point where Hendershot asks for help defending against tunnelers, and I've successfully killed all of the attacking tunnelers. When I initiate dialogue with Hendershot, the only dialogue options are the unused option agreeing to help him, and the option to refuse and kill him. I assume that using the kill option will still allow me to get the information from him (presumably in the safe), but I'm not really sure why the dialogue options are broken.

Yeah, this thread is probably dead but I had the same problem recently. I activated the security system, followed him downstairs, killed all of the tunnelers and got the prompt to talk to him again. I expected to be able to tell him the tunnelers were gone and that he would ask me to kill the queen. Instead I got only the dialogue options I got before I agreed to activate the security system in the first place and kill the initial batch. In order to proceed with the quest, I eventually just killed him and got the information to proceed with the quest (the note about Finley) from his body.

Just had the same issue myself. Shame to see it's not fixed, but I guess it's good that it's not a fringe case.

Hi, this may not be the reason you're having a problem with the quest, but I had a similar thing happen to me - in my case, the quest wasn't updating because I hadn't killed all the tunnelers - some had spawned within objects or in the buildings and that caused them to glitch out the quest. Have you guys tried reloading from before that portion of the quest began? After an unfortunate CTD, I had to replay the section and it worked fine from them on for me.

Actually, in my situation I got the message that all the tunnelers were dead and to go speak to Hendershot so it appears that all of the predicates were met for him to ask me to kill the queen. This particular glitch has only happened to me once.

I'm having the same problem with Hendershot, he just doesn't acknowledge the quest progression. Is there a way to use the console to force him to update?

 

I am not sure, but I did run the mod through FNVEdit to try to figure out the quest stages relating to Cholla Mountains and Hendershot. First, it is all part of Hunter, Hunted. The quest ID of Hunter, Hunted is xx005c11. (replace xx with the mod index number which you get by opening the console, clicking on Russell and noting the first two numbers,digits of his reference ID.) The first stage is 25 which is to find Cholla caverns. From your post it appears that you spoke to him initially, asked him about Glanton, activated the security system, followed him outside and killed the first wave of tunnelors. That means you should have completed stage 40. He apparently does not recognize that you have killed the tunnelors, so you are getting the same dialogue option you got earlier. He should be asking you to kill the tunnelor queen. Stage 41 is for speaking to Hendershot after killing the initial tunnelors. The next stage is 44 and its objective is to kill the Queen. After that is stage 45 which is to speak to him again after which he tells you the next clue to finding Glanton and allows you to use his railcar to get out of Cholla. You might start by entering the command "sqs xx005c11" to see what stages are shown as complete. If that shows that stage 41 is not complete, the type "setstage xx005c11 41". If that stage is already shown as complete, then try "setstage xx005c11 44". If that gives you the objective to kill the queen, then go do that. After the queen is dead, you should get an objective to return to him (stage 45). At that point he should give you the next clue to finding Glanton and allow you to get out of there on the railcar. If not, then you can either kill him and get the note from his body or type "setstage xx005c11 50".
