Fallout 4 Show No Mercy Wont begin

[Bio]

Hey so heres the problem, upon finishing the tour within the prydwen you're supposed to automaticly start the other quest "Show no Mercy" right?

For me it doesnt trigger, sqs bos202 always shows its stopped and at the quest step at 0, using set stage using its id or ref trigger it to start nor change it has if the quest is gone, using the command to finish it gives the exp sound but no pop up or even shows up on the finished quests. Unfortunately by testing (but not has much) the subsquential quests and sidequests following this also dont seem to trigger or work with the same issue, wont start, values dont change and NPC's keep giving their default dismissive lines.

My game is modded BUT has far as I know I have nothing that effects quests, its usually just more items and a lighting overhaul mod so it would be bizarre if it affected them. I had been to the base before and even glitched my way past the barrior that blocks the elavator until you get that quest so Im guessing that was a sequence break? But I could of sworn I had done that before and it woudnt break this quest that bad.

If anyone has ideas for force Elder maxson to start it or if he even has the script dialogues for it I'd appreciate it. This is on a save with alot of minutemen stuff done and with with meeting nick and the dock for the brain part so institutionalized isnt done yet so thats not the case.

So yea, any commands, sequence suggestions or even having to use the editor tool to fix and check on these things I'd appreciate it. Cheers.

Nope, currently at reunions to discuss my findings with piper, altho I have also attempted and finished reunions and have the beginning of Dangerous Minds in case it was reunions but still doesnt work.

And again no matter what I do I cant seem to get console commands to work on this particular quest, it refuses to have any stage set on it

I JUST said I have finished reunions thinking that was it but no. And again even console commands dont work to set it any stage, only force it to finish with the completequest command, but it only gives exp, doesnt show the animation or the follow up quest trigger, and continues to not show in the finished quests tab when doing it like that.

some quests require using the startquest command not just setting a stage if they are not currently running. Also may be a variable on the quest that needed set by the previous quest in the line.

IF a quest has been completed it usually will not execute any more stages even with the setstage command.

sqs bos202
sqv bos202

Will show the stages and variables for the quest as well as if it is running.
If the previous quest never actually completed it may require running the setstage command on its shutdown and start the next quest stage.

The previous quest, Tour of Duty ends just fine and shows completed with all stages completed on the quest journal, but nothing happends after that and even spoke to the ship captain but still nothing, Maxson is still in the same spot instead of outside where he should be for this quest and always dismissive responce.

What does SQV do? I havent attempted that command

Using sqs says its stopped and its perpetually at stage 0, using setstage to any other stage like 10-20-30-100-110-250 dont work and dont start it (but it does work and start at the step I input for example From Within quest.)

Startquest I believe works for other quests but it doesnt work for this one, either using its editor or form ID it refuses to start it.

sqv is show quest variables this lists what the quest variables are set to and also lists the aliases and if they have an npc in them.

Many times when a quest failed to start it was because one of the required aliases failed to get the npc placed in it.

SQV when it comes to quest state says its NOT enabled, state is stopped, current stage 0 and priority 70.

Any way to enable it using commands? Or anything else I should keep an eye out for in what this command tells me? Its quite a long list of ref's and scripts but I dont know much on that

This is with Tour of Duty completed and Dangerous Minds in its first step, only brotherhood sidequests are the radiants of getting technical documents and blood samples.

IF possible you can try these commands

Startquest bos202
setstage bos202 0

This should trigger its startup.

Already tried those and even with one after the other, still doesnt start it

The stages

0 Quest Debug StartUp Stage
1 Quest Debug Interior
2 Quest Debug Flight
5 Startup
10 [LOG] Meet Maxson on Flight Deck
20 [LOG] Board the Gunship


255 [LOG] Quest Done
300 Quest Stop

If the quest thinks it was completed or one of the other faction quests that bypass this one is done it propbably will not be able to be started.

Quest doesnt show completed done in my questlist so that aint it, and other than DLC content and minutemen questline I havent done anything else that could get to it maybe. Wiki only mentions it gets locked out if I have completed institutionalized but I still havent met Father nor have I made contact with the Railroad

[=EGC= kansasterry]

Maybe set it to stage 5 then 10 and see if it will progress.

I tried multiple diferent steps, none of them start or even end the quest. Is there a command to make it so I get its rewards and make it so teagen starts selling vertibird signals? Spawning them in right now at this stage makes them not do anything and nothing comes.

[=EGC= kansasterry]

Setstage bos202 255
Setstage bos202 300

Should set up the variables as if it was completed though you may need the command resetquest followed by startquest though this may clear any variables other quests set on this one.
