FO4: Cannot get boat to Far Harbor to work.

[bacca400]

FO4 v1.9.4 on Windows 10 with 6 DLCs including Far Harbor. I don't use mods.

The Railroad gave me a quest to clear Beaver Creek Lanes. It seems that is in Far Harbor. So I went to the boat without talking to the Nakanos and the map pointer said I was 1 meter away but I still could not start the boat.

I then talk to both Nakanos and found all holotapes, I believe (the ones about the lamp, the radio, dreams, and the one on the main floor), went back to the boat, and still cannot get the boat started. There is not option to "Activate" the boat. I even restarted the game. I also found the boat safe key in the boathouse. But that appears only to be for the safe.

The "Search the Nakano house" is still not checked. What did I miss?

How do I get the boat started?

Thanks everyone!

You must return again to talk Nakano man, is he invite you to use the boat. You accept find the daughter Kasumi, you can do later or never, but you will can use the boat now.

I just have the standard 6 DLCs, I'm not using mods.

I tried talking to the Nakanos again but there is no option to search for their daughter. There are only questions I can ask each of them.

I tried finding the quest ID by going to the quest screen and clicking on the quest on the right called "Investigate Nakano house" which will not finish, it still remains unchecked. So doing completequest QUESTID gave me an error "compiled script not found". So did completeallobjectives QUESTID. I also cannot get the Nakanos to ask me to search for their daughter so can answer "Yes" to that.

I think this character is just screwed for following the railroad since I have to clear an area in Far Harbor and cannot get the boat keys.

Do NOT do that. Dont jank around with the console, this is meant for debugging.
The radiant quests locations you get are randomized, Far Harbor included. You have to find the last holotape with the hint that the little nakano girl went to Far Harbor. The last holotape is stored in a safe. After you found out where she is, you can tell the nakano that you need to go to far harbor and they will offer you to take the boat.
You dont have to progress the radiant quests of any factions to move forward in the game, since the necessary missions to progress are set to specific locations.

Also a hint. There are atleast 10 Kasumi holotapes, one of it is mandatory "Kasumi's final holotape", the others give a great explanation of Kasumis mindset

Ok, I got it. I think this is the order it has to go in.

- Do an initial talk with the Nakanos.
- Search the household and make sure to find Katsumi's journal on her dresser by the window.
- If you talk to the Nakanos before you find Katsumi's final holotape you can ask them questions but there is no option to find Katsumi and get the boat keys.
- Then search the boathouse for the key to the save. Open the safe and listen to Katsumi's Final holotape.
- Go back to talk to Mr Nakano.
- Agree to find Katsumi.
- You will then get the keys to the boat.

Yep that's all. Far harbor is a bit harsher, be sure to be well equipped.

Look SPECIFICALLY for a holo tape under her bed. It IS a very important clue.
Be certain to listen to it. "Dreams".

It's the one clue that hints about who Kasumi is and that maybe the MIT isn't the ruthless shadowy bastards they are made out to be.

Only the last 4 steps are critical. The others make narrative sense but are not strictly required.
