i'm stuck on the nick valentine mission. HELP please

[Punished_Stallion]

the last door that takes you to the park street station but valentine refuses to open the damn door. Im tired of these buggy messes bethesda craps out ugh

[🅶ila]

I've had to use the move to player console command before to get hung-up companions free.

I had to do it several times to get the little digger eyebot in "The Big Dig" to bust open some of the passages.

If he's hung up on something, then you might give that a try.

[Punished_Stallion]

what do i type?

[Punished_Stallion]

wait. im saying that the companion is supposed to open the door for me but he refuses to do anything. he's not stuck in the level geomotry

[mfree]

Umm.. can *you* open the door?

[Punished_Stallion]

No... why else would i have come here...

[CerebralAtrophy]

Kill nick, Spoiler: Hes a synth

You can try kill and resurrect, ~unlock command, but im guessing youll need to hit up a previous save

[Punished_Stallion]

F*** i reloaded to an earlier save and tried again and still doesnt work. i refuse to start my game all over. Bulls***

I don't recall the place that you're at, but are you sure that he's supposed to open that door? Take a look at the Wikia walkthrough for that quest and be sure that you haven't skipped any steps. Generally, reloading the game will reset any script bugging and allow the game to continue as it's suppose to advance.

Also, on the bottom of the Wikia quest page, there will be common bugs and usually offers workarounds, if there are any.

evry walkthrough ive seen shows him opening it. its the last door hes supposed to open IIRC

[Vyvian]

He's supposed to unlock it, he should be... is he still in combat mode? Did you kill everything?

I would think that you've missed a step somewhere. Sometimes it seems like it's a bug, when I just walked past something that I was suppose to grab/do before the game will progress. Unless that's just a problematic area that frequently bugs, reloading should have fixed it.

Try to find a save that reloads back to the beginning of the entire area and walk through it again. He may have missed an event trigger somewhere along the way. Otherwise, I don't think that restarting the entire game would necessarily help you.

If all else fails, you can use console commands to force unlock the door and if need be, set the stage of that quest to the step just after he's suppose to open that door. (Just be SURE to create a save before you start fiddling with console commands.) I've never had to do this though. Usually reloading and retracing my steps will solve whatever bugs pop up.

sometimes when Nick gets stuck, rather than smacking him on the head, walk either away from him or past him to see if he catches up. Sometimes he is a tomato.

[Punished_Stallion]

it fixed itself... i just kept reloading and evetually he decided to do what he was programmed to do :/

[Xyzzy]

The final door is up a ladder to Commonwealth. Nick is not supposed to open final door, you are. Then you speak to Nick he says see you back at agency. So I guess you still got one left to kill somewhere or you missed something.

[Punished_Stallion]

no, he WAS supposed to open it
