Can't Talk to Codsworth AFTER When Freedom Calls

[Muu]

So I know of the CC bug with tunnel snakes and captain cosmos, I havent used them. Ive been working on a 100% save for a while now and I notice that codsworth wont talk to me at all. He keeps telling me that someone should be able to help me in concord... Is there a console command to force him to be a companion or skip this line somehow? I saw a rumor you might be able to progress his dialogue if you go further in the main story, anyone know?

You risk messing up your game further down the line when you force things through console.

Did you talk to Preston after the deathclaw? Did you leave them at the Museum? Are they still in transit to Sanctuary?

Do you have mods that might be in conflict?

I'd rather take the risk. I'm already way past Concord. I have almost all the settlements via minutemen quests. No mods either.

To progress this, all you need to do is go to Concord and then go back and talk to Codsworth. You might, at most, have to listen to Preston shout at you from the balcony. But I think you can get away with just killing the outside raiders and then going back. It's possible that you don't even need to kill them.

You get back to Sanctuary and he asks you about Concord and you say "they weren't very friendly" instead of the usual "I made some new friends" (if you rescue the Settlers from the Museum).

Ok I just saw you're saying he's stuck on that dialogue even after you have completed When Freedom Calls. (I read the text of your post, not the title). In that case, I don't know. It might have to be console commands.

Wonder if Recycleactor would help or hinder (Not recommending, looking for input on the possible adverse affects. Definately save and backup your game before trying).

Edit: Whats it say in your quest log, there might be something in the misc section regarding this. You might as TIE said just need to hit a certain spot in concord.

Yes, that is the intentional way it goes. If Codsworth is still stuck then you would have to force it by console.

Actually there is nothing you can do really. Once a quest completes (which was Out of Time) then you can no longer reset it. I am not sure if you can even set the stages for it anymore?

What he needs is a console command to change the flag from allow companion from 0 to 1 (Codsworth uses same ID before and after quest, so it has to be a flag.) In order to know what value to change it would require reading the scripting for Out of Time. Which is something nobody has done (or at least posted the command.)

I do not think I have never seen anyone post an actually fix for the CC caused issue that screws Out of Time. I do know there is other topics on it.

Just noting here:
Out of Time
EDITOR ID MQ102
FORM ID 0001cc2a

In case anyone wants to take a look at the quest script (possibly me).

Question for OP: Is Out of Time shown in your completed quest list in your PipBoy, or is it still shown as active? If it is somehow still active, which stages are still showing as incomplete?

[Muu]

It's completely finished, all objectives are complete. Codsworth is just messed up somehow

I think it should look something like this:
setvariable blah blah blah 1

At least that is how the console command/code to limit/unlimit survival mode looked.

I know about the Tunnel Snakes bug. What is the Captain Cosmos bug?
