Can't save Kent Connolly

[Nirvash]

So, I've been doing the Silver Shroud quest line, and without going into too much detail, it's impossible to save him. All the youtube videos I look up have your character coming down this elevator and there's a little dialog section, however, for me, I get half way there and the raiders start fighting a bunch of robots, which alerts the gangsters below, and they kill him before I can even find the room.

Anyone know any kind of workaround for this or is it just another lost cause?

Yea the targetting visor that highlights living things is horribly bugged, which is sad because it was the only modification really worth using. Screwed me over on a few quests before I figured out what was happening.

Still in that case, they would only go hostile when you see them, and the hud targets them.

In my case, it was because I was on very hard and the robot went through 1/2 the level triggering the bossman to shoot him. Changing it to very easy before entering the building made it so that the robot never even spawned (because I could never find its body), or the gunner's goons murdered it before it got to far.

lol you got closer than i did, as soon as my toon enters the building i hear a shot and see the fail quest pop up on my screen. Thought it was because i was in power armor, tried sneaking in, reloading, etc.. didn't matter.

Same for me + the prequest was bugged too, where u've 2 find the information about the leader

Don't know if it has been said here yet, but wearing a power armor helmet with the mod that shades targets red causes this quest to fail when you enter the building. Not sure if they fixed that in the latest patch, but it also happens on a few other quests. Take the helmet off and problem solved.

Ty you, will try it later or use console command

If you're using power armor, don't. There's a helmet glitch that causes enemies to insta-hostile even if they don't see you.

i wonder how far into the game the average person would get if the console wasnt a thing

I got all the way through main quest and literally all sidequests except for the 2 Cabot quests, over 180 hours in, before I had to use console to fix anything.

use a console command and type "tai". it will disable the AI

or ... better and stable way .. freeze time with "tfc 1" and use free camera to target all enemies in room then just type "kill" on each enemy you highlight

then type "tfc" again to return time and your camera back to normal

its pretty much console command version of Za Warudo

So this happened to me I think almost at the same area, I was stealth killing everything slow and steady when all of a sudden they killed him. I thought it might be timed, that I just took too long, so I gave up doing stealth from that point and grabbed my shotgun and just started bursting into rooms like in Wanted. Once I got to the elevator, they seemed to wait until we talked before doing anything. I don't think I was using my power armor much by this point.

It's not timed, there's an activator near the door that starts the initial dialogue.
At this point, you're able to talk down the guards, or shoot him in the head; his guards won't turn on Kent.

timed as in from when you enter the building, because they can shoot him before you make it down to that room

It's not timed, I spent quite a bit of time in the building and Kent wasn't dead by the time i got there, there's just an activator near the door that starts the final sequence.

Just so anyone else can see this too.

I had already cleared the hospital and I think this factored into the problem, but here we go.

When doing this quest, after exiting the 2nd elevator, all the enemies activated and started fighting robots (a robot, actually) and before even stepping off the elevator, Kent would be shot. So, I used the console command "tai" to turn the ai for the enemies off then I was able to reach the final elevator without the enemies killing kent. I used the command again once the 3rd elevator opened and the dialogue happened as it was supposed to.

lol thank you. He always died as soon as i would enter the building. I feel sorry for everyone playing this on the console. I keep having to fix things with console commands.

edit: just found out you cant talk to raiders.
