Fix

Hi,

If you've ever encountered an issue with Nick Valentine not responding or giving you an "this character is busy" error message when you try to speak to him after you've taken the introductory quest for Far Harbor (Far From Home) while also turning in the quest The Disappearing Act, there seems to be a command on PC that has the potential to help you.

After testing extensively with game mechanics and then with commands, it turns out that disabling and then enabling Ellie Perkins is enough to break the loop Nick gets stuck in. (It would appear he is trying to deliver a line of dialogue but can't)

Simply type "prid 000222A4" then "disable" and finally "enable" into the console, making sure you take a second to let Nick move after you've disabled Ellie and things should get back to normal.

I hope this helps someone.
Thanks for reading.
