Silver Shroud.

Killed Shelly Tiller, how long do I have to stand in the same place listening to the radio in good neighbor in order for the mission to progress?

You don't have to kill Shelly.

There are a lot of arguments if she is good or bad, and what exactly she has to do with the quest. I see her as hiding from the raiders but killing her or not doesn't seem to matter at all.

Kill Kendra. Go Back to Good Neighbour

That.

The mission marker is set on a sewer grate in good neighbor and won't update...I listened to the radio, stood there, tried to go talk to slim and he's not inside/door is locked. No new prompts. (killed Kendra)

I've done that quest 2-3 times, never killed the poor girl hiding in that building. It was marked as "optional", that never caused the quest failure.

While it's never happened to me personally it can apparently glitch out there for Bethesda reasons

In my experience when a quest suddenly hangs at a stage for no reason it usually means the scripting went bad a few stages prior. Like you did something that caused the script to jump forward by completing it ahead of time. Scripts do NOT like jumping ahead, it will run maybe a stage or two and then get stuck.

The most common cause for this to happen is messing with console commands during the quest. Second cause would be running FPS over 60 fps and your scripting got cutoff in the heavy downtown area.

The woman in the National Guard base and Kendra should have both spawned at the same time and shown up as objectives. The fact that Kendra is missing from objectives means your quest derailed itself somewhere.

At this point I would do one of these:
1. Roll back to a save prior to starting the Shroud quest.
2. Attempt to reset the entire quest by console.
3. Ignore the shroud quest for that game.

Should you kill her or not? What is the moral best choice

It's impossible to say for sure without know why she's being targeted, though the fact Kendra (an assassin working for Sinjin) had the contract to kill her and the way many companions hate it suggests that killing her is probably not what a good person would do.

In fact, just the way you're potentially killing a nonhostile target because you found a contract without knowing anything about the target already says about all you need to know, morally speaking. On the other hand, 500 caps and an optional quest objective ticked...

All that said, she's hiding out in the Nation Guard training yard, a building filled with feral ghouls where hostile turrets covering the exterior. So she's probably going to die anyway, since there's no option to help her. If you want to keep your hands clean, you can just leave her to die and hope that she somehow gets out of there to return to the peace and safety of the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

she reminds me Silver from fo3, i wish they had more options for returning the favor..

Karma doesn't exist in this game. Do whatever.

If you feel satisfaction or gratification from killing NPCs, it's no matter. It's best to do it without stupid NPC companions hanging around.
