Cabot house quest bug at "Talk to jack cabot about the artifact"

[ComradePreacher]

Hello everyone! During my another playthrough i have been bothered by this for MONTHS while i ignored it i dont know what console command i should use to stop it or if it's simply going to continue like this till Jack becomes a skeleton.

It happens when the quest is finished and when jack tells me to return afther a week and so. He still says "leave me in peace i need to mourn my father" also all the bodies havent despawned that includes all the raiders plus Lorenzo. Do i need to do a console command?

I am suspecting the mod "Tales of the Commonwealth" might have something to do with it perhaps as a conflict but i am not sure which is why i am asking you all for any solutions.

Great google search terms in your quotations, don't need the "at". Pump that into the search engine of your choice and you should get most of the many threads

I FOUND A CONSOLE COMMAND FOR THIS (srry for the thread revive tho...)

but if you have the same situation as the OP then type this in console
"setstage MS09MiscJackReward 100"

it will complete the misc quest AND give you the gun.

I did a new playthrough and had no issues that time, the bugs at this questline are random af but thanks for your tip thro incase that happens in the future.

Works! Thanks a lot!

Thank you, Arnold. That worked beautifully. Now I can finally complete that bugged quest and be done with it.

Next time I'll just kill the whole family for Lorenzo.

Thank you for this!

Update! Be cautious of this! After I sold the gun and tried to open my inventory or my map, the game would CTD, I loaded my previous save where I never unlocked it and it worked just fine. I then unlocked it and just put it in my storage and it still works just fine. DO NOT SELL THIS GUN.

A troll and not an intelligent one at that, nothing more.

Thanks - 4th playthrough and this is the 1st time this happened.

Solution

Correct Info since the above may result in a crash/script problem:
(and this thread is one of the top listed ones)

Use console command prid 47ec2, followed by enable

See the notes below from the wiki

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Secret_of_Cabot_House
"If you wait too long before receiving the corresponding weapon mod as a reward, it is possible for Jack to age regardless of the quest and have his younger version disappear from the gameworld- making it impossible to obtain without console commands. Spawning young Jack in won't help either, as he will only mention that he has great news repeatedly and otherwise cannot be interacted with.

The young version of Jack remains at the point where the quest marker points, albeit disabled. He can be enabled using the console command prid 47ec2, followed by enable, he can from here on be interacted with normally to receive the gun.

LOL. Poor Cabot Family. If it aint Emogene it is Jack.

That be the truth! It's a shame as I really like the characters and the quest. I finally saw an aged Jack though (hence the console command above).

Ahh, thank you for posting that solution, @raubrey! Worked like a charm! (Although having two of Jack walking around was amusing before I disabled the younger one again, haha. XD)
