im on the mission "still in the dark"

where you have to speak with elder mcnamara in the command room.

Problem is that he is just stuck standing in the middle of hidden valley bunker level 1 and wont move...


Is there any way to fix this?

or can i restart the entire mission ? "may be that fix the prob."


thats a screen shot that elder mcnamara standing : http://i51.tinypic.com/2mgs1w3.jpg


notes:
I have tried leaving the area and coming back, loading an earlier save, restarting the game, almost anything you can think of.

I just had a similar problem with a different quest where the actor got stuck because of the stupid ED-E bug making people attack him. What I did was open console commands with the "~"(tilde). Then I targeted the actor and used the "resurrect" command on him. When I exited console he continued walking to his destination and I could finally get the quest to continue forward properly. Hope this helps.

didnt work it says: ''ResurrectActor" requires a reference

but thanks any way for ur help

Make sure you have him clicked so it says something like "mcnamara 00127324" at the top of the screen while you've got the console screen opened. I'm pretty sure you got that error because you didn't have him selected.

yes , u r right now it works & the elder went back to the command room

THANKS Mister44 !!!!

Sorry to resurrect this days-old post, but I have this exact same issue and the solution is here, BUT I read elsewhere that using the console for any reason will disable Steam achievements for that saved game and future ones. Is that true? If so, is there another way that doesn't do that? I want to continue the BoS quest line, but not at the risk of killing the achievements.
