Cant speak to Ranger Andy

[Hopper]

For some reason whenever I try to speak to Ranger Andy (the ranger in novac) my mouse appears then I zoom in on him ,he says nothing and no dialogue options appear. I can speak to every other character normally but not him please help.

According to the wiki page here https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Andy_(Ranger), it seems there is a bug that you are describing may occur as can be seen if you scroll down to the "Bugs" section.

From the wiki, this is the solution to fix it:

This occurs after passing the Speech check to bypass the Ranger Station Charlie side quest, and the next time you talk to Andy; you can fix this by entering set "00084233".bRangerStationCharlieStage to 0 into the console). Alternatively, enter player.additem 000ccfc9 1 into your console. This will add a note to your inventory, allowing you to speak to Ranger Andy again and thereby initiating the Ranger Station Charlie side quest.

Legend, just use the note. So much easier
