Taking independence wont start?

[OkBuddyBrother]

I have taken over atleast 5 or 6 settlements now. Preston wont give me any quests or the taking independence quest. Any suggestions?

I could restart my playtrough but still.

The only way that seems to work is to use the console (if you're playing survival beta, you need to do this[www.nexusmods.com] and then install this mod[www.nexusmods.com]).
Stand near Preston and use this command :
SetStage 0003a457 0
This is the command to use to start a quest with a given ID ; 0003a457 is the id of Taking Independance

This worked perfectly, even all of the survival-beta steps. Thank you!

cheers, you totally sorted that annoying bug. Not only was Preston not giving me the Castle quest but he wasn't giving me any quests at all. Now don't get me wrong, I think Bethesda's use of "radiant" quests in Fallout 4 (which are are repetitive garbage) are a despicable insult to gamers, the RPG genre and the Fallout name. They're a half-@rsed, game-padding exercise in sloth and should be truly optional and ignorable. They are absolutely no substitiute for a proper quest line or proper side quests.

But that one comment fixed both issues. So you have my thanks.

Sorry to resurrect, but your my damn hero. I couldn't find the console commands at all, and I already used mods for Immersion and debugging, but I needed that last bit. you sir knight, are a much needed legend

well it work if you send him to slog and wait for the attack on it 'usually 7 days' then he will talk to you.

Sorry for the bump, but using 'SetStage 0003a457 0' just makes him do a tiny bit of a respawn thingy, like shift out of space for a second, but it doesn't actually trigger the talk. Any idea?

Edit: He has repeated his final dialogue line to me for the third time. Keeps going "Are you ready for that talk now?" which isn't always, just every so often.

Yeah, you should not have necroed this.

None of this information is right.

There is no Stage 0.

SetStage 0003a457 20

I t ried that too, sorry again for the necro.

Preston Dipsnit kept saying "we have to take the castle". After I blew him up a few times (just for fun) just ~ copy and paste this SetStage 0003a457 1000 press enter, dipsnits and company walk up. (you don't need to click on dipsnit either). Hope it helps.
