Primary Bug Report Laying Foundations - Stranger is non-interactable immediately after activating the beacon

[romulus8]

I walk up to him, he greets me and walks away. Pressing E to talk to him and nothing happens. No dialogue.

Edit: Fixed it, the bug was caused by "Full Dialogue Interface" Mod, had to disable it.

 

[Atom3]

That's kind of insane that you had to uninstall that mod to progress. That mod is essential for a full experience.

 

[Wasteland Geographic]

I'm having the same problem. I am starting with a non-vanilla settlement location (Natick Warehouse). I've disabled every mod except the settlement and SS2 mods.

As the title says, the Stranger will not talk to me after creating a beacon. He spawns and then creepily follows me around without saying a word. Trying to talk to him myself went nowhere.

I read on a different thread that mods such as Extended Dialogue Interface etc caused this, I do not have anything like that enabled.

 

[BDMAG]

Same here.

 

[BDMAG]

Disabled mine...didn't work.

I am having the same issue. I put down the Agricultural Plot and The Stranger did his thing and now he won't talk. I have the Preston bug where he won't finish his dialog with me either for When Freedom Calls. I have Presto installed and removed it to see if that fixed anything but NO. I only have 27 mods installed so I will attach my save file and list of mods if someone wants to give it a go.

Edit:
I started a new game without the presto mod active and all seems to be progressing as it should. So far so good!

I did the concord part of Laying Foundations and the quest says to talk to him but when I talk with the stranger all he wants to do is trade with me.I'm not sure how to progress the quest.

 

[BDMAG]

Just figured this out for my run. If you have a companion with you, he won't talk to you. I dismissed my Nora and he talked right away. Simple solution: Make sure you're riding solo.

 

[kenseirabbit]

sadly did not work for me I even went to bed for a few hours after dumping my companions

 

[SkryeWolf]

I've done the " out of time quest " and I have multiple settlements. He is in Tenpines Bluff I've tried talking to him, no answer, I've gone to his store in Concord, killed raiders in the area he's a no show. HELP I'M ABOUT SCREAM.

 

[wallan]

I used the ASAM the first time and then he won't interact. None of the above has worked for me.

 

[Okulio]

I do not know if anyone fix this but i did for myself. I uninstalled SS2, load a save, saved the game WITHOUT SS2, quit the game, installed SS2 and the Stranger "worked" fine. Hope it helped someone

Dont drop it on the ground from your inventory.
Pick it up. Open your inventory, go to SS2 tab, place residential 2x2 plot yourself.
this jump starts the strangers dialog.
