[SOLVED] [SPOILERS] PAM wont talk to me at all

[EightByteØwl]

I want to get the Ballistic Weave available, but every time I approach her she just says "Intruder Countermeasures Active" or something along those lines. Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Edit July 4th, 2016: Here's the solutions that are in the comments, since people still seem to be reading this. Make sure to read all the solutions, the problem could differ for you:

1: PAM predicts that you are in the Brotherhood, if you have the "Tactical Thinking" quest active. You can only work around this one with console: resetquest bos302b

This will reset Tactical Thinking, and allow you to speak with PAM, but the catch is that you can't restart the quest, and the only way to finish the BoS questline is by doing Mass Fusion.

2: Become an enemy of the brotherhood, and destroy them. This will fail the Tactical Thinking quest and allow you to talk with PAM again. This, of course, has the downside of destroying the brotherhood.

3: Not a workaround really, but if you're just in the railroad for ballistic weave, then you can use the command "RailroadClothingArmorModAvailable 1". This will make ballistic weave craftable.

4: Exiting your power armour can potentially fix this.

5: Doesn't fix this problem, but if fixes another: Uninstall the Highlight Living Targets mod from your power armour, it could cause factions to become hostile, and make the game uncompletable (unconfirmed).

I think I figured it out. You know how PAM is able to predict things? Well I think that after a certain point in the brotherhood quests PAM realises you actually work for them and thus won't talk to you. You may have to use console commands.

Problem: You advanced to much in the brotherhood questline.
I assume the quest "tactical thinking" is active. This prevents PAM to speak with you.

Solution: none

Workaround 1: WARNING ... this breaks your BoS QUESTLINE. MAKE A SAVE BEFORE.
You can reset the Quest in the console "resetquest bos302b". This removes the quest and you can speak to PAM again.
But: you cannot reactive the quest again (it is set to "not repeatable".
The only way for the BoS ending is spoiling the "Institute Mass Fusion" Quest (i dont know its name) to the brotherhood. So bee aware.

Workaround 2:Become an enemy of the brotherhood. The "Tactical Thinking" Quest will fail automatically :o)

Or workaround 3, use the console command to unlock Ballistic Weave. Then kill the railroad.

use this instead, it will just make it available at your workbenchs

Set RailroadClothingArmorModAvailable to 1

You're trying too hard. She's seen that you are desperate... and you are... and now you've crossed the line with her to that creepy guy... and she's totally not into you at all... ever. Heh. Just like real life... you gotta be careful with the ladies.... even the bots. Good luck.

Don't worry you can still get the horny Curie as a companion, if you are that desperate.

Probably the way how noobs and kiddies are playing the game, just use console for everything

I only used this method because I didn't feel like restarting the game to get an armour modification. It's stupid to assume everyone is a noob or a kiddie for this reason. They can also be used to make settlements look better, to allow walls to actually fit together. Or if an NPC is broken, use console to fix them. And besides, you shouldn't judge people based on how they want to play the game.

Well, your adolescent maturity just oozes from every pore of your post.

You're just behaving like everyone's mum, telling how others should use their game to get most out of their experience.

SOLVED! For others still having the same issue, try getting out of your power armor. I had not started the tactical thinking quest, but she still wouldn't talk to me. Exited my power armor and she immediately gave me the mercer safehouse quest.

Does your power armor have the highlight living targets mod installed? It can cause things to become hostile that shouldn't be, breaking quests.
