Bullsh*t quest from Haylen

[Member-Diddler]

So you know Scribe Haylen and how she gives you quests to find these artifacts? Well, I got a quest to get this Reflex thingy-ma-bob but guess where she sent me to. FAR HARBOUR! Not only that, but I'm only level f*cking 12! This is why its a bad thing that the quest just sends you off into a random direction.

[AbsynthMinded]

Well.. I guess we should see that sort of thing coming. However if you save before entering the building you can reload till she sends you somewhere else.

Also only ever did those quests once. The fact that there is no real payoff except the XP and 'on the way there and back' loot, annoys me. The MM quests at least unlock Settlements.

Had the same thing happen to me at level 11 or something.

[Zombified]

I had the same with a quest from PAM (Railroad).. it sent me to Nuka-World at about the same level as you were. I think I was 15ish.
Waited to do it once I was high enough to do Nuka because I wasn't even sure I could go there earlier.

I had the same with a quest from PAM (Railroad).

Those issues date back to Skryim, so obviously fixing them is not a high priority for Bethesda.

[MaximumEffort]

Have you ever heard of relaod? I assume its not survival, since you didn't mention it.

[GryffintheBaron]

@im not good if you go near that whats his name's house yu will start the quest automatically

I don't know if I'd call it an issue; I kind of like that quests will sometimes randomly serve me a very difficult target (I'm more bothered by issues that make it impossible to proceed, rather than just very difficult).

That said, in terms of good design, I think it probably should avoid giving you quest targets in Far Harbour or Nuka World if you haven't actually visited them yet (since they're supposed to have their own introductory quests that you don't want clashing with other quest requirements).

People be crying about some strange sh^t, but i do get annoyed with pam's constant missions to nuka world, like it's the only place that exists.

But as far as your issue, hit the sneak button.

I had it several times you can complete the quest by typing in console: player.setstage 000c30dc 40 for haylen

btw reese does the same his completion is player.setstage bosr01 40

[Xyzzy]

not just Haylen, P.A.M. sends me to Nuka World, I haven't even started my Nuka World yet.

[SpeedFreak1972]

well I had it with both locations with all factions.

[Brandybuck]

You don't need to do this quest now. You can wait and do it later. The only issue I see is that you need to get the FH questline started started before you can go there, which requires talking with Nick during the main quest before it unlocks. Your level does not matter in this case.

The bug here is that FH is gated to a questline. In Skyrim if you got a radiant quest sending you to Solstheim you could still get there without having to start Dragonborn. Plus, you would never get a location there until after the requirements were met. It appears (don't know for sure) that this FH location was given without any way to get there. A fix in this game, yes, but Skyrim does not need any fix in this regard.

[Skaldsyn]

As others have said I would just ignore it. There is no real pay off other than points and it isn't a main quest that is part of the story line. You can ignore it for now then go back to it or ignore it all together it's not like you are missing out on anything.

[SpeedFreak1972]

well no you don't have to do them immediately ... however I use the haylen and reese quests to level up. Also I had it once that haylen AND reese sent me in the first mission to far harbor ... guess what you can't do the lost patrol mission then till the prydwen arrives.
