Blake Abernathy Glitch

Post » Sat Dec 19, 2015 6:26 pm

Is this happening to anybody else? Anytime I talk to Blake Abernathy (usually about kidnapped people) the camera will remain on him for an extended period of time, upwards of 5 minutes. As I'm writing this the camera is still focused on him as he is farming at my feet. It has been 8 minutes so far and there is no way to get out of it except for loading past saves. He's just wandering around farming while Piper makes snide comments every couple of minutes... What do I do? I'll try to get a video here if I can.

Update: The camera stopped moving and I can move around but I can't turn or do anything but forward, backward, and strafe

This hasn't happened to me, definitely a horrible bug. What platform is this on?

Try doing the reset thing (power cycle?), I'm not familiar with consoles, but seen others mention doing something like this when console glitches happen to people.

Nothing like that but every time I talk to him he walks away while talking and then it makes me restart the conversation. It only happens on him.

I bet it's a terrain problem. Sounds like it could be caused by an object you've placed, perhaps he's assigned to defend the settlement and a camera conflict has occurred.

Can you delete any fences or barriers in the area you conversed with Blake?

Happens with me too, he wanders off whilst in the middle of talking to me, then the conversation ends abruptly cause he is too far away, but the camera still stays on him for a minute or more, and I cannot do anything for a while. But, I am lucky, as I just wait and then eventually the camera snaps back to my character and I am able to move again and everything. It just pisses me off that he wanders off whilst I am speaking to him. It is as if his wife or those raiders/ghouls/super mutants are not that important to him. It makes me feel as if that they arent important to him, why should I worry about them then?

This is on PC and those fences that are there were there before I even got that plot of land as a settlement for the Minute Men. So if it is the fences, then it is a vanilla bug.
