Fucked up companion quest too early.

[Pfactor]

I started a new game and started the MacCready quest "Long Road Ahead" before I met him in Goodneighbor. Now I've got the Cure but I've got 2 quest targets and can't complete either of them eigther normally or with the console commands with setstage.

 

So right now I've got MacCready still at the Third Rail being talked to by the Gunner goons and they wont go away and he won't talk to me AND I've got a quest target to Daisy to send the package but that conversation option doesn't appear. 

 

Do I just give up on having this companion?

Well, the only way through that dungeon to get the Prevent is to cheat. So hate to say it, but you broke it by doing something you couldn't do normally. Thus why the terminal is unhackable until you get the quest. It's a bug that is the result of cheating.

 

Only way to fix it, is you can either spawn MacCready to you while you stand next to Daisy and it will let you finish the quest when you talk to Daisy, but you won't get MacCready as a companion. (prid 2a8a7, and then moveto player via the console)

 

Or you can complete the quest via commands kind of. Remove the Prevent from your inventory, and then do "resetquest COMMacCreadyQuest". Then you can hire MacCready and when he gives you his quest, do "completequest COMMacCreadyQuest" to remove it from your quest log.

 

I'm not 100% if either of those will work, as I haven't had this issue myself, but it's the only information I found about it. And yes, this is caused by cheating your way through the dungeon. Otherwise, this bug never occurs. This is why they always say "Use the console at your own risk" because it does break things if you're not careful.

Yeah I remember having a problem with that terminal.
