Nick Valentine's personal quest- Long time coming glitch *spoilers*

[Sinister Stranger]

*Spoilers*


I have got all the Winter tapes and went to Andrews Station to find the bunker and at the entrance he just stands there on the stairs, repeating dialogue about finding Eddie and killing him and so on. I can't Command him, only talk which triggers the dialogue I mentioned. Is this a bug or do I go on without him untill I find Eddie. I reloaded my save and he is still "stuck". Is this normal or is there a fix?

i have the same problem. he just stands there. shooting him repeatedly and downing him makes his pathing fix, but after a few steps he stops and won't move. after repeatedly downing him i finally got him to the bunker door, but i can't open it, and i can't tell him to open it, so i can't complete the quest. unless i'm just missing some step somewhere... the waypoint is right on the keypad at the door, but clicking it does nothing. did you find a solution?

Having the same problem. Apparently this isnt common, as I couldn't find anything for it. I'm going to do some snooping and see if there's any way around it.

I reloaded my save from before I fast traveled to the metro station, went back and cleared out EVERYONE outside, and the quest worked as normal.

I fixed this issue for me a while ago, what I did was went back to him and I tried to force him down the stairs towards the enemies by hitting him with a melee weapon. He attack the Raiders and that seemed to fix his pathing for me. He just followed me after that. I hope this helps.

Got him walking by shooting him down for a short period of time and then he got up and started walking towards the bunker door. Now we're near it and he does nothing. Neither can I access the keypad. Guess i have to put that mission on hold for a while.

EDIT: Eliminating all the raiders and dogs outside helped. Guess this was the problem.

I was having the same problem and found a solution:

Open console (~)
type "prid 00002f25" and hit enter
type "resurrect" and hit enter

It seems that when I ran into the station without killing everyone outside, they all came in the door and must have shot him down, which caused him to glitch out.

Hey man, I'm here just to THANK YOU!

Nick was stucked since "show no mercy". He had a black face, open arms and I coudnt talk to him. But this WORKED! I thought my save was lost 4ever.

Thanks again.

Has anyone found another solution? I tried the console code and it did nothing. I sat down for an hour, two hours, three hours, and 24 hours and nothing. I fast-travelled, returned, and nothing. I brought along another companion, just for fun, and nothing. Also, I did these things in combination. So any other solutions?

With me, Valentine was stuck after walking in front of a turret and being gunned down. He just sat there. Frustrated, I pulled out my 10mm and filled him with bullets, after which he miraculously recovered. So, you can try that, just make a save in case it really doesn't work (so you don't spend bullets for nothing).

I just did this this morning. Nick got stuck at the entrance so I went without him. After killing Eddie Valentine spawned beside me. Then it said to follow NIck. Nick just stood there. So I exited without Nick and then Nick came out liek 10-15 seconds later and finished the quest.

The other thing I noticed was Nick was supposed to be my companion. Yet during the quest I had the lone wanderer weight perk. Once I completed the quest the perk went away and Nick counted as a companion.

Don't do "resurrect", as it will reset his inventory. Try "kill", it will down him. Had to do it 3 times while in metro. Interesting, that got this problem only about 8th time doing this quest, maybe more, and it was the first time I used PA and after the main quest, not sure if it's related. Either way, two commands work there - "kill" and "moveto player".

[PakLong]

"moveto player" when standing on the final spot (outside the station, by the lake) triggers the final dialogue with him

Had a similar issue - Nick told me to open the Bunker Door myself, but after talking to Eddie inside, Nick wouldn't continue with his dialogue, essentially breaking the progression. I fixed this by simpling walking out of the bunker door, which triggered a different dialogue from Eddie, causing him to turn hostile, which then caused Nick to kill him. Alternatively, if you don't care that much about roleplaying, you can just shoot Eddie in the face and be done with it.

Afterwards, Nick told me to follow him, but got stuck on the way up the stairs to the exit. The fix for this is to kill all the raiders on the top level where the Ladder Exit is (where Nick is headed for). After that, leave the basement via the Ladder exit, wait for a 5-10 seconds outside, then enter the basement via the same Ladder Exit again. This unblocked Nick and he continued on with his script.

After a final cutscene and dialogue with Nick, the quest completed successfully, i got the 'Close to Metal' perk from Nick, and he was a functioning companion once more. Hopefully this will help anyone who is facing similar bugs :)

I type the command but it doesn't do anything but he keep on repeating the same dialogue when going kellog's mind.This bug is so annoying because I already searched all the winter tapes.

Long Time Coming is AFTER completing the part in Kellog's mind.
