Question about Odette (v. 1.0.4)

[WhisperFire26]

I was recording today and found Odette waiting at Sanctuary but when I talked to her, she just had idle chatter. She will not give a quest or make a request to join so she just stands there and does nothing. Is she bugged?

In my last playthrough Odette ran up to me in the middle of Starlight and initiated her quest. All other unique settlers waited by the broken payphone booth outside of the settlement for me to initiate their quests. Not sure if the newest update can fix whisperfire's issue with her quest not starting

What does that do? It made Odette disappear

recycleactor – Resets some NPCs.

• Note: This causes randomly generated NPCs and random encounter NPCs (like a patrolling minuteman, raiders attacking a settlement, or a named traveling trader) to vanish completely from the area. This can be used without a "resurrect" command.
• If used on the player, it will reset all effects currently affecting the player. This makes it useful for addressing glitches. The player's inventory will reset (be emptied), and any gear or items will be removed. A Vault 111 jumpsuit will be added and equipped. Appearance, level, perks, quests, caps, fatigue, and thirst do not reset.
• Using the command on a companion will cause them to respawn on the next map change. Can be used when one is stuck in a Power Armor frame; the power armor set will spawn to the location where one wears it with all modifications undone.

Disappearing is normal. When I use it on an unnamed settler, the settler disappears and later reappears rerolled. If it happens soon while you are in the settlement, the settler will show randomized but naked. You can't really interact with the settler. If you go away and wait a gameday, the settler will have clothes and be interactable.

I haven't tried it on a companion (third bullet point), but I assume that Odette would respond the same way and would return to where she spawned, hopefully refreshed. Like I said, be sure to do a hard save first.

I think maybe it was supposed to be "resetactor" ?

Interesting. I use a site that has an exhaustive list of console commands but not this one. I did find this one page with one simple topic:

Fallout Recycleactor Command​

---

General Information​

This command resets your targeted (selected) NPC to the way they were when they first spawn (it will also revive NPCs). If used on a container, the container's contents will be cleared. If used on an object, it will move the object to position at which it spawned naturally.

Well, you learn something new every day.

I got an update on Odette. I used the recycleactor command (on camera) and about a week of time passed before she showed up again in Sanctuary. There was no change in her behavior except now she stands by the workshop instead of just the outskirts of the settlement. That's it.

You might want to try and run some console commands. Use "help odette 4 qust" to find the editor ID of her chatacter quest. The use "sqs EDID" where EDID is the Editor ID of her character quest. Mine came back stage 25 done. Stage 25 = Player Rejected Odette Settlement Offer. I find this strange as I have not talked to her before.

I'm thinking this is a glitch that only happens on a new game with v1.0.4. I'm pretty sure I completed this quest on v1.0.2 and possibility v1.0.3 (can't remember for sure!) As you have already started her quest, you should be fine once the Breakheart cell refreshes.

This has been fixed in the beta patch v1.0.8a.

I'm posting in this thread just to say: no, it hasn't. I just had Odette spawn (for the first time!) and she's only got a couple of what I assume are her "generic dialog lines" (fairly basic -although custom- "farmer" type lines) and nothing else. I must add that I did first walk right up to her just in time for "combat AI" to activate due to a Deathclaw spawning under that railway-bridge there just near Starlight...

Can you send her to a different settlement?

Appears that yes, I can both relocate and assign her, and doing so activated her full suite of idle dialogs (the "based on happiness" idle-lines, etc). Pity I missed out on doing her quest (apparently it's a good one).
