So i just completed 1 artifact quest and the girl said Paladin Danse want to talk with me but when i approach him he spams random lines without triggering the storyline (the marker is active on him) Have i stumbled upon a gamebreaking bug where i can't unlock Danse as a companion? Some people say it's because i have completed The Lost Patrol quest too early, but then what was the point of leaving emergency signals. Is there any way to fix it? Playing on PC.

Please help

I have the same problem on ps4. I hope it will be fixed soon :/

I have the same problem I have to turn in "lost patrol quest" to Danse

There is a bit of talk of this in another thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1548638-help-with-paladin-danse/

From looking around it seems that if you fire on him or take part in behavior he doesn't like, he won't offer his companionship to you until some time after you join the Brotherhood of Steel and advance in those quest lines at which time he will once again be available for recruitment.

Mind you, I've not done it but just searching for all the info I can get to assist people here on the forum. If this is resolved, please let me know. If it does turn out to be a bug, we need to report it/move this thread to the hardware/software section.

The Lost Patrol quest doesn't involve Danse.

I had already done that and convinced the guy to return to brotherhood to tell of his squad bravery etc. But I see what it is now, I have to report to a new guy (captain Kells) Danse still have a quest marker above which confused me, since I couldn't speak about any quest related things.

I completed Lost Patrol and convinced the guy to rejoin the brotherhood, and then it tells me to report to Danse. So yes, it does involve him. However, at that point I had already done the main story quest where the Prydwen shows up, and now am unable to turn in this quest to Danse at any point, since he's a companion now and only has their dialogue options.

I've tried talking to Kells, but that was for a different quest.
