How can i get a specific seed for NG+?

[Dootslayer]

i rerolled my ng+ 4 times now and i always get the vanilla lodge. It's tedious, is there any tricks or are there console commands to get the one i want?

RNG seeds a pita to swap out in some titles. I would suggest trying to restart the game each time, as some systems store the seed previously rolled as the only choice until a restart.

I meant the whole NG seed before joining unity.
I keep getting the boring vanilla constellation start and it's getting old.
I would like the one where i have myself as my own companion.

No one knows if its possible?

I've tried re-rolling my NG+3 a few times, most of the time it is the vanilla start, but all of the special ones I've gotten so far have been 'hardcore' mode (can't directly access your inventory and can't save, so no changing armors, equiping a weapon or anything other than the Starborn suit, and can't use consumables.)
I have however, in those 'hardcore' modes, seen the following different starts:
Walter bought out Constellation (gotten this one a few times)
Andreja murdered Constellation
Cora, as a grown Starborn, murdered Constellation trying to track down a version of you that killed Sam.

I was hoping to settle down in NG+3 with some non-vanilla start that looked interesting, but it being 'hardcore' mode for me with every non-vanilla start on NG+3 I may have to just do another vanilla run, maybe even just settle down in a vanilla start. I'm also not feeling the whole 'hardcore' mode either, it was a PITA to take down Walter and his bodyguards or Andreja and her Va'ruun followers with just powers as they're all still pretty weak and consume a lot power at only III, so not confident of being able to deal with The Hunter and The Emissary.

Just got the All of Constellation is 'Me's start, still 'hardcore' mode though. None of them seem to be eligible to be companions either.
It might just be confirmation bias, but it feels like the longer I let the credits roll the higher the changes of getting a non-vanilla start.

[mackrealiv]

WTF?!?!?
Ok, cannot save AT ALL in the 'hardcore' mode, not even Exit Save (just exists without saving.) Found that out because I needed to exit the game after seeing that start, thought it MIGHT be interesting to at least give a go, but yeah...not an option unless you're ready to fully commit to a speed run.

[Dootslayer]

Yeah, i think those "hardcore" runs are buggy.

But so there is no fast way of getting a seed you want?
Re-rolling entering the unity each time is really boring. There has to be "setstage" console commands we don't know yet, this is a Bethesda game with the old engine in every way.

Can someone please explain how to reroll? I've rushed through the game 7 times and still I'm only getting Sarah waiting for me. For ng+8 I've saved before going into the unity and reloaded several times to get a new seed; turned the game off and on again before stepping through a few times... spun around and waited a few seconds longer before stepping through... and after all that I've still haven't gotten a special seed ....

It’s rng and quite crappy too. I might found the set stage commands though to get a different start

I though the more 'random' seeds only happen after NG+ 3 or higher

So NG+ 1, will never give you a 'random' event start
-'hardcore' mode (no saves)
-Everyone at the lodge is you
-Hunter is at the lodge
-Bad you is at the lodge
-Only kids at the lodge
-Starborn Cora is at the lodge
-Andreja killed everyone at the lodge

None of the above triggered no mater how many reloads I did until NG+ 3 or above
(Saving and reloading just before entering the unity to reload and get another random seed)

I saw a console command guide for this in the community section. Just scroll down under the game trawl thru the plethora of trash.

It can happen on ng+1 but the base chance is biased towards the vanilla in every cycle.

I also don’t think the others are hardcore ones seems like typical bethesda bugs

I’ll check that out too thanks

Do you just type these like below in the console?:

set 17E727 to 100
set 1801B9 1

It doesn't seem to be working for me.
