Lead the way

[Omalley]

Anyone run into a guy stuck in a field of shocks? he asked for help and it shows he has a quest for me. but he just keeps saying "come on. lead the way, I know we can do it!"

And that is it. won't actually let me talk to him. and he won't follow me

Usually when NPC's do that it helps for me to walk around them and mash F until they respond

Try reloading a previous save. BTW, theres a artifact there you can also collect.

Got the artifact and reloaded 3 times. he just stands there. about to "fix" his problem

It's bugged.

I had the same issue.
I believe he's supposed to open dialogue with you but that event doesn't trigger.

Some people are saying it's caused by Emissions bugging out the A.I.
As a matter of fact, most of the quest soft-locks I've encountered has "Emissions" as the supposed culprit.

Your guess is as good as mine at this point.

take a step back.
if you are right in front of his face it usually doesn't do anything
stepping back 1 or 2 paces and waiting for the F does the trick.

also it doesn't really do anything, since when he is actually following you and you cleared the way with the bolts, he isn't fast enough to get out anyway.

he dies and all you get is some third tier loot.

it took me 3 reloads to get him out safely. You dont get any loot or anything for helping him but maybe theres a circumstance down the road that he helps you in. Or perhaps not.
