Anyone know how to get into vendor chests?

[LUKE]

For rp reasons I want my bos character to be able to wipe out the van graphs and plunder their inventory

When I try to tlc through the floor the chests are unable to be opened, I've tried openinventory, opencompanioninventory 1 and unlock all commands have not worked so far

You can't call it roleplaying and then use console commands, chief.

So I denounce your whole premise, and as God of All Fallout, I hereby say, BEGONE! Stop being stupid and just murder everyone and take what's in the room, that's looted, now move on!

Fine.

If you really want to, you already know how to clip through the floor and find the chests there, so do that, open the console, and tag one, see it's instance ID... let's say you picked the one "" 0e0009ec

type 'inv' and see if it's indeed a van graff phat lewt chest, it is?

The easiest way is to just take it: 'e0009ec.removeallitems player'. Do that for every chest. Say you have Boone with you, and want him to carry some, the next one might be 'e0009e7.removeallitems 96bce' and that's him looting it, boom.

But calling it roleplaying, you're just a dirty cheater, own it already. heh.

I disagree that you can't call it roleplaying, necessarily. I mean, in principle, I agree with you, cheating is not in the spirit of roleplaying. But in this particular instance, you know-you kill the Van Graffs and where does their inventory go? It vanishes just because they're dead? Those items they were once selling just disappear because they can't sell them to you anymore? In the real world, if you unalive someone, their stuff doesn't disappear lol. So in this case, it might even be thought of as "fair" to be able to take someone's vendor goods after you waste them.

A year old necro, "unalive," a failure to understand that the player is intended to loot the display models if they want to steal from the Van Graffs, and completely ignoring the fact that their unique items are handed off to Vendortron on their deaths. Quite the hat trick.

They actually don't.
It only happens if the vendor was dead before you install GRA.

Huh. Now I feel awfully silly for having thought otherwise for so long, and negligent for never bothering to actually personally verify.
