Kent Connolly?

[Fine Fellow]

Hello, my fellow wastelanders!

I've got quite a situation on my hands.
I'm doing the Silver Shroud quest, and Kent has stopped talking on the radio, and his door is locked. For the record, I only killed Wayne and AJ. I have not reached the part when Kent gets kidnapped

I have no idea what happened to him. I'm going to attempt to teleport him to me via the console now, but I'll seek advice here in case that doesn't work.

Cheers!

His door is supposed to be locked until he's abducted, so I wouldn't teleport into his room if I were you.

Try listening to the radio station while transitioning through multiple load screens, sometimes that gets it to work right.

Well, I used the command and lo and behold - It worked!
I appreciate you trying to help!

Oh. It seems I was a bit hasty.

All I confirmed was that he was alive. I apologise.

Also, I tried the trick you told me for about 4 minutes with no results. Do you know if I need to do it for a certain about of time at the minimum?

Thanks!

Oh, did you remember to leave a Calling Card on the corpses of AJ and Wayne?

I did indeed, according to the quest "milestones", as I will take to calling them.

I have never been able to complete the Silver Shroud quest properly. It's too buggy. What I had to do was go to the FO4 wiki and see what I had to do then just kill the people in order of the storyline. After that I was told to rescue Kent. I never do the Silver Shroud mission anymore because of the bugs.

I'll give this a shot. I hope this works. Thank you!

I've never had the Silver Shroud quest bug out. The only quest I've managed to really ruin was Secret of Cabot House at the infamous "Emogene Takes a Lover" part.

I've only completed that mission twice and it worked fine both times. How does it bug on you?

Actually I lied. I just remember that I have had that mission bug on me. When the scientist runs to Parsons to protect Lorenzo he never arrived. I backtracked the route he takes but he was gone.

The scenario I bug it out is very specific, and I've managed to isolate it.

When you first meet Edward Deegan, he gives you a speech check for more caps after describing the job, if you TAKE THE SPEECH CHALLENGE AND FAIL the quest is bugged, and Emogene will not spawn where she is supposed. If you take the speech challenge and succeed, or if you ignore it, the quest should function just fine. At least it has for me 100% of the time since I isolated that.

Ah! UnableRogue, your strategy fixed the quest! I appreciate both of you for assisting me! Kent is one of my favorite characters in this game, and I'd hate to never hear that enthusiastic voice again!

You're welcome. Glad it worked for you.

I've never failed the speech check. That would be why I've never seen the bug. Next time I restart the game (if I remember) I will try failing it and see if it bugs on me.
