Return to sender - Unable to progress quest

[SevenDays]

This is driving me nuts. I'm at the part where you confront Chief Hanlon on the balcony at Camp Golf. He says we need to talk in private - to meet him in his office. But when he gets off his chair to start walking, he just stands there and doesn't move at all. I can still talk to him, but he refuses to move/walk to his office.

 

Has anyone experienced this bug? 

 

Here's my load order if it helps.

Try opening the console and typing "resetai".

Thanks for replying. That didn't work, but the moveto player command did.

I had this exact same problem months ago.  Spent 3 days scouring the internets trying to figure out why.  Then gave up and wrote Hanlon off as broken.  I would love to hear the solution if you find it.  The only thing I didn't try was unloading mods until it worked as it was supposed to.

HATE.  HANLON.  SO.  MUCH.

It was simply really. I stood in his office and used the command console...

 

prid 00106d79

moveto player

 

Then I was able to talk to him to progress the quest. If you want the Steam achievement, make a clean save before you talk to him, exit FNV and Steam. Restart FNV and all should be good. Worked for me.

Right I used console commands to get past it.  But that's a work around, not a solution.
