Piper can no longer be contacted

[deathmorph]

I can no longer speak to Piper. "E" no longer works. Resetting Piper doesn't help either.
I had hoped that it would work again after the dialogue in the mayor's office (this worked normally). Unfortunately, that didn't work, after that Piper is unresponsive again. Any ideas?

what happened before this incident, any new mods installed during playthrough

Piper was my companion. At some point she couldn't be spoken to anymore. After she was wounded, she returned to her office. And even then I couldn't be spoken to anymore.

This is a long standing Bethesda bugg.

 

One way I know of to fix it is to figure out who you didn't finish a conversation with.

Of course, if you've been playing a long while, this could be thousands of NPC's.

You'll have to retrace your steps & talk to everyone in the hope of finding the one you didn't finish the conversation with.

 

_Or_

 

Delete saves until you can talk to her again.

None of the "fixes" I checked out worked for me.

😭

You mean a conversation from my character? Not from Piper? Oh, there are a lot of them now. But thanks for the tip, maybe Commissioner Coincidence can help ^^

Just to reaffirm what VonHelton said, I had the same issue when meeting her outside DC, due to unfinished dialogue with the Mayor (couldn't further any conversation and she just stood in the foyer part). Had to reload a few times to get through all the dialogue successfully.

 

I'd try a previous save at the loss of a few hours gameplay rather than roaming around looking for folks who may have not finished a conversation with you if I was in your shoes.

 

Also, if you use "Sexual Harassment", you would be best disabling it via MCM when conversing with key NPCs in relation to quests and moving the story along, it will mess things up by triggering approaches just when they aren't welcome or needed! "Vanilla Fudge" can also cause issues when conversing with key NPCs in my experience. 

 

Anyways, I hope you get it sorted...just had to delete an 80+ character due to a mod making Ada invisible, I'm pretty gutted about that!
