Mission: Long Road Ahead is bugged
For some reason I am unable to deliver the cure to Daisy. Macready is also stuck, as are the two gunner npcs he starts with when you first meet him.

This may have to do with the fact that I obtained the cure before even meeting Macready, which jumpstarted his quest.

If anyone has any idea how to fix this please let me know.

I have the same issue. I also got the cure before meeting Macready and cannot deliver the cure to Daisy.

Got the exact same issue, I stumbled upon the quest while doing the BOS one nearby and got the cure. Now after talking to MacCready, I cant get him to follow me or interact with Daisy to complete the quest. Tried killing him by console, using resurrect on both, etc. Nothing seems to be resetting their AI.

Same problem. Anyone know a fix for this?

Apparently a work around is to move MacCready to daisy, but it doesnt allow him to be a companion.

2 ways,
1. This way you can do the quest normally and get him as a follower,
I removed the item "Prevent" via console "removeitem 0004E700" then
I reset the quest via: "resetquest COMMacCreadyQuest"
I could then talkt to him again ad hire him for 250 caps
I started the Quest normally and the quest seems to work fine I just did the first part of it. (when you go to retrieve the cure, ofc you need to add it to your inventory again "player.additem 0004E700" I do not yet know if it also finishes like normal, but I'm certain it works.
I will edit this once I've finished the questline.

2. and this one is easier but you will never have MacCready as a follower: you open the console and click on MacCready (make sure it says 0002a8a7 above the console, you might have to scroll with your mouse wheel)
go to daisy and type "moveto player" then talk to daisy, you will finish the quest, but MacCready wont become a follower.

WARNING: If you bugged the quest by disabling the ALERT (instead of noclipping) BEFORE you enter Medtek with MacCready, you will not be able to complete the quest normally, as the Alert can't be disabled again (setstage doesn't work) and I don't know if the terminal can be reset somehow.
If you "unlocked" that terminal to get to the cure before the quest, there is a third option for you: 1. Follow the steps of resetting the quest,
2. get Macready as a follower
3. Finish the quest as far as you like
4. when you hit that point where nothing progresses, use "completequest COMMacCreadyQuest", the quest will be finished, and you should be able to keep him as a follower.

I'm currently having the same exact issue.
I tried step 1
removed the item 0004e700
reset the quest using "resetquest COMMaCreadyQuest"
that didn't work, so I tried "resetquest 00027411" which appeared to be an accepted command prompt, however it was all in vain as nothing changed whatsoever. sooooo, now i'm stumped.

Uhm, did you do it before talking to MacCready for the first time?

Hi,

I had the same issue. I had already received 'Prevent' before ever meeting MacCready, so when I arrived in Goodneigbor and tried to speak to him, Wilkes and Barnes walked in and the quest bugged. None of them would leave the room. I tried the above workarounds but nothing helped. What I ended up doing that allowed me to complete the quest and keep MacCready as a companion was to simply go outside of Goodneighbor into the Financial District, I then opened the console and moved MacCready to my position. Closed and reopened the console so the move command would take place. When I saw MacCready was in front of me, I opened the console again and typed -> setstage COMMacCreadyQuest 40 and hit enter. When I closed the console MacCready became my follower and I was able to send him to one of my settlements. I then opened the console and typed -> completeallobjectives COMMacCreadyQuest <enter> then typed -> completequest COMMacCreadyQuest <enter>


Addition I forgot.... before moving MacCready to my position, I typed the console command -> completeallobjectives FFGoodneighbor06 (This was a misc quest to speak to MacCready)

so i have both tried what Kilmer and Bogged has said fixed it for them.. now i am pretty bad at/new to doing console commands.. but here is my problem and what i have done

firstly i got in to the Med-Tek Research facillity lower level, by using "unlock" on the terminal then i got the quest and had completed the stage "get to the lower level" i clear the place out and grabbed item or what ever (dont remember) i then proceeded to play for another 2-3 days found "goodneighor" city. found the guy in the back room of the bar talking with 2 fellows threatening Macready i talked to him he then he was like "oh thank god you got the cure" or something like that then the conversation got canceled out by the two guys threatening him and after that i cant talk to him. i then went on to play for another day or so (until the point of writing this message) i found the quest "long road ahead" and i went to daisy to try and give her the cure since thats what the quest said. when i walk up and talk to her its no option to give it too her

[[side note i write the commands in the text here with spaces not while actually typing commands]]

and then after finding these post i have done this "used the complete all objectives on, [talk to Macready] so thats done and gone from my list

then i removed the item "prevent" from my inventory
then reset quest ( did nothing he still stood in the same place beeing threatend )
then i tried complete all objectives ( did nothing again i am not 100% sure if it where already at this point i get the error message "could not find parameter quest" and under it said "compiled script could not be saved"
then i tried "complete quest" same said "compiled script could not be saved"

i then went on to move mcready to my position (while i went out the main entrance too the bar stood in the middle of the road/street in goodneighbor)
i then tried to talk to him and he was passive with no response.. ( no conversation options )
i then tried to set stage thingy [got the could not find parameter bs again]
then complete all objectives
then complete quest
reset quest

a lot of trail with errors.. no good outcome.. i then went on to play alittle bit more ( 2 minutes and i died and had to reload.. )

i then checked my quest list and suddenly ( i checked before i died it was there ) suddenly the quest long road ahead quest was gone from my list, i went on too check on the guy and he was still passive with the guys threatening him

guys i am out of ideas.. can any of you work some magic please and tell me i am dumb..

1. Ok so Load a save BEFORE meeting him for the FIRST time. (best before you even enter the bar)
2. Load a save BEFORE he talks to those gunners.
3. now remove "Prevent"
4. now reset the quest via: "resetquest COMMacCreadyQuest"
5. Go into the bar, talk to MacCready and the Gunners for the FIRST time, now you should be able to hire him for 250 caps
6. He should now be your follower and start the Quest "A Long road ahead" from the beginning, you can take him with you, send him home etc. The quest will remain unfinished, if you simply want it completed just type "completequest COMMacCreadyQuest" That should complete the quest and you should be able to keep him as a follower.

yeah no thats not a option if you read the post i made above that message.. plus as i also said is that almost all the commands didnt work.. i think i have messed it up so good that it cant be fixed unless there is a mod or a update from Bethesda

thanks anyway i was basically asking for magic :P

so basically you don't want to reload to the point before he talked to the gunners, and lose your progress?
Bethesda won't fix this since in your case it's not a bug, it's a result of your cheating.
Modders won't fix it because it is, again not a bug. At the most someone will make a mod enabling you to add him as a companion anyway.

That's about everything that can be done, next time, try not to cheat your way through a dungeon, theres a reason the terminal was unhackable without the command console.
