Hancock bug (Spoilers)

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 3:36 pm

To finish out the Silver Shroud quest line I've got to talk to Hancock one more time but since I've already done 'The Dig' he now only talks about coming with me on my travels and I can't bring up the conversation. (Seriously, which genius decided four branches were enough for every conversation?)

Also having this issue! It breaks the Silver Shroud quest line. Exactly how it happens: I did the Dig with that crazy lady, and at the end, you can have a change of heart when you realize she's up to no good, and with a high enough persuation or whatever, convince her to go home. This aligns you with Hancock. Then under misc quests is "go speak to Hancock" or something. (At this time, also in my quests is the Silver Shroud at the stage of "Speak to Hancock as the Shroud"... So, go to Hancock, and all he wants to talk about is the Dig and thanks and wants to be a companion. There's no way to speak to him as the Shroud, even with the full Shroud stuff on and the silver gun. He just wants to talk about companion lines. I tried every option too. Even dismissing him. Shroud is one of my fav quest lines, and is somewhat broken now, but don't want to replay the 10 hours back to the Dig. :/

Related problem here. Killed Fahrenheit in The Dig. Went to Hancock. Sent me to kill No-nose. In meantime got Silver Shroud up to the Kill Me Kate mission but after killing Bobbi No-nose Hancock keeps acting like she is still alive and won't talk about the Silver Shroud mission or anything else. Running I7 Core with Nvidia GTX680M 4 MB, 16Mb Ram, Windows 7. Also unable to get on roof for Diamond City Blues and have MacReady at Executive Terminal for Long Road Ahead but he wont produce Joseph's password. About to shelve this game and go back to Marvel Heroes. 100 hours of gameplay no mods Level 35.
