Stuck On Getting A Clue

[dormdude]

I can't continue the getting a clue quest because i am unable to tell nick my story. instead of giving me the normal diolouge options i can only tell him things like "i don't have time to sit and talk" or "nothing to report" so does anyone know a way to fix this or a console command to skip this part of the quest?

Is the quest actually set as "active"? Sometimes, when you haven't done so, you don't get the dialogue options...also, check your quest log, does it say "talk to nick" or similar?

Or more specific: at which point of the quest are you stuck? And did you end the previuos quest correct by speaking with Ellie?

can you give us a screenshot of your quest journal and also trying to talk to nick?

[Agarillobob]

there should be a console command on the wiki to mark this mission as completed

Yes the quest is active. yes i spoke to ellie ang got my rewards. nick told me to sit and talk to him i do but it won't give me the proper diolouge options.

Hmm...from the top of my head (I might be wrong here), Nick should also be sitting in the chair behind the desk, if he doesn't, it's maybe because Dogmeat, Piper or whatever is in his way...you could try leaving the office and going back in, or even better, travel to your homebase, drop all the loot into the workbench and go back, maybe even sleep a couple of hours inbetween and than try again...if nothing else helps, you could try the console commands to progress, but I would see that always as last way if nothing else works...

Edit: and while you at it, speak with Mum Murphy, she might have a clue about where to find a certain key... ;-)

i figured it out. I forgot I had an alternate start mod and i needed to go visit vauylt 111 first so that's why it didn't give me the options

[[IFC]Mjollnir]

You could've said that first.... ;-)
But glad you've got it running now..

[Dex]

seriously, these almost always come down to, "oh..i forgot..."

If you are using a mod that changed things you may have to read the posts other have made at its page and of course the information provided by the mod author they may have changed how you do things in regards to that quest or gaining access to the institute.

did you go inside the vault and find Nate's body and holotape?

edit: and did you listen to the holotape?

I've posted this in another thread. But I'm just going to post it here for more awareness.

My solution:
Download "Getting a Clue Quest Fix" at https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41471. Then use console command "setstage MQ105 30".

My context:
Honestly, I have no idea what is causing this bug. My best guess is that I've downloaded some story overhauls like Project Valkyrie & Depravity. However, this bug has existed before the creation of those mods. So this could be just another "feature" of Bethesda's.
Regardless, the result is the same. Nick just sat at the opposite table and flatly refuse to talk to me. By downloading the mod above, I completed "Getting a Clue" quest and made Nick become my companion once more.
I do hope this solution works for you as well. If anyone knows what's causing this bug, I'd be happy to know.
