I mean the ones within the settlments by a supposed settler.

I wasn't able to resolve even a single one of them. I get the message of the settlement being under attack, travle there and find a dead settler lying on the floor. Lotting them produces a synth component and obviously the other settlers and defenses already disposed of them.

But the quest is still there, in my log. I just spent a week at Egret Tours to see what happens. In short, nothing. When I left, next thing happening was the good old "failed to defend" message. Travelling back reveiled a serious drop in happiness and destroyed defences, water purifiers and crops.

And that's how it always goes. Regardless of location, If I see a single settler lying around on arrival, my next thought is not again. Has anyone been able to resolve these attacks?

I do hope Bethesda read this forum.


That has to be gut-wrenching for you, and I hope this particular bug gets fixed very soon. You're not the first to report it. For some folks it must be a gamebreaker.

Resurrect the settler - and kill him again.

I always finished all those missions by killing one additional synth. YMMV.

If only it was that simlpe for console players.

I'm not on the console. But I find it pretty tiresome to call up the console for every bug I encounter. Yes, I know, the modders will probably fix it. But it would be a nice touch, if Bethesda actually did something about their bugs in the first place.

We can but hope they do just that
