I have my weapons equipped according to the pip boy.
Wandering around in the world, I am unable to raise my weapons, let alone fire them.
Noticed the issue when I was in Diamond City, backing up the shy radio DJ in the Dugout Inn. Figuring it was part of the mechanics of the quest, I continued with the quest chain. When I got to another hostile area, unable to use any weapons, I realized that there was an issue. Unfortunately, I did not create ample saves as I should have. I assumed that I was flagged as non-combative as a result of a bugged quest component.
I have since cheated through that quest to get it to a complete state, and no fix.
Many people said talk to Nick in Diamond City, again no fix there.
Tried continuing with the main story line, tried switching NPC's, tried "going solo", all to no avail.
Wondering if there's a console command to force my combative status? Or is there another fix to this issue?
Loading my last save before the issue would cause me to lose around 16 hours of play time.
Thanks in advance for any help!
