Quest NPC's are hostile (bug help) [Spoilers]

[Trueblue1878]

Hi guys.. I took a quest from a woman called Ness, she asked me to meet her at Flight 1981 crashsite. The quest says to "meet up with Ness" but when I get within scope distance of her, the quest progresses without having to talk to her and she turns hostile.
I have watched youtube clips and that is definitely not what is meant to happen. I don't have any mods that affect quests or NPCs.
Could it be the companion I was with? I think I was with Curie Synth version at the time but I don't know why she could trigger hostility in Ness. Come to think of it.. it seems she also triggers hostility in the scavengers that are near the U.S.S. Constitution even though I have not decided who to side with yet.

Anyone had this happen as well?

Cheers

Ok.. not just curie.. I think its in general.. any quest NPC that is potentially hostile based on how your dialogue choice goes.. will just turn hostile on sight. As I just got to meet Eddie Winter and there is no dialogue.. he just attacks me. :(

What is going on with my game??

Cheers

Maybe you should try doing the quests without a companion? I know Ness turns hostile near Settlers and some companions. I think Bethesda got the aggression levels of some NPCs messed up.

Yea will do that thanks.. That might also be why Bethesda made it so Nick leaves you as companion during this quest. Will let you know.. cheers!

Nah that didn't work.. I was thinking it could be the Full Dialogue mod BUT how would that cause a quest to trigger before I even spoke to the NPC (Ness)

The only other mods I have are just really simple things like enhanced blood textures, pipboy 4k texture mod.. glowing meatbags. None of them would mess with quests or NPCs. I don't think its a mod problem.. but will try disabling them anyway.

Ok its my power armour. I don't know why.. but wearing my PA makes him hostile. Will test this with Ness later too.
I'm not sure if it's with ALL PA.. or just the one I have currently. Maybe a certain PA mod causes it? I have life detector mod + stealth field + pocketed for the limbs and Shark paint.

I just recently ran into this issue as well with 2 different brotherhood quests and the scavengers. iv tried changing companions, stripped naked, waited in sneak until they turned green, nothing worked. i had success with Paladin Brandis who kept attacking me by sleeping for 3 days and going back to him, but that isn't always an option.

Started happening to me too. Not using power armor or that one mentats that alters your vision. Started happening with Duty or dishonor trying get a piece of legendary power armor. Happened again with eddie winter. The quest auto progresses seemingly with no reasonable reason. I'm above lvl 40 when this started happening. Have yet to get into the institute. Have seen virgel and have to find railroad for the chip. Started happening after I got automatron dlc. Sparks is always partially dmgd and causes mechanist to auto aggro and when sparks sees me. Any ideas?
