Upon entering recon bunker theta paladin Brandis is supposed to inhabit the place. Strangely when I enter he is nowhere to be found, he is simple gone.

I went through the console command


Prid 000b877e (Brandis ref ID)

Moveto player


This makes him appear in the bunker and he moves to the position where he is supposed to be.


Then the problem is that there is no way to interact with him.


I've tried deactivating/activating the ai via


Clicking on him during console mode so that his "code" appears then typing "tai" doesn't seem to do the trick.


Any ideas...?

did you follow the quest correctly? Get all holotapes, listen to them all.

Yes I listened to them although two of the tapes weren't on the corpses. They weren't part of the loot. I had to use console commands to add them to my inventory but when I listened to them all quest markers showed up but the problem with brandis persists.

try resetting the quest using console command.

Did that and it didnt work. Now I have problems with a few other quests as well so I decided to start all over and scrap the old saves...

man that svcks. on the next go around, try to keep about 20 saves. you'll be surprised how often FO4 autosaves, and it can help in situations like this until it's patched.
