Radiant quests bugs. The Ron, Katherine and Archibald.

[CodeNamed1]

There’s an issue with the 3 radiant quests: “Knowledge Equals Profit”, “Scrappin'” and “Not All Artists Starve” . The two quests have exactly same problem but the “Not All Artists Starve” is a bit different, I’ll start with the other two.

The Ron and Katherinen given quests have probably some kind of “does not count if the player has cleared all the locations in the game” kind of timer as I play on Survival And go around places a lot so the refresh cell does not Activate Me much. As when I had cleared almost all base Game locations the quest would start but it would be something like “find the folder in […]“ as it does not actually give any location but thats what reads in the quest log and it does not point into anything so it’s just stuck in your quest log. This exact same thing happens with Katherinens quest but with proper wording meant for it.

The Archinald one is a bit different I think the same logic applies that the locations have ended so at this case he says the dialogue and the robot also but nothing happens. No quest is given and nothing and he just repeats the dialogue of now he would give the quests but its not given.

I think this is rather rare case of scenario to have cleared all base game locations but it is possible like I have done and more so especially in survival difficulty one solution would be to add DLC locations to the mix after the base game locations have been done for as the radiant quest “Handfun of Caps” started to point me to Far Harbor, not sure why the 3 other would not do this but Mr Handsys quest does Also just make It possibly just “force refresh“ s cell like I think some quest Mods make like for example Fourville as it seems to always find a location for me to use even though I had been there before.

Ok after some time more playing and doing the CPD bounty missions I cannot no longer obtain one throw the terminal as it has the same issue as I have stated here as I have only completed one bounty mission so it’s not that there’s no more of them. Also to note I realized I have not exactly cleared all base game locations but like about 92 % of them to say about but I guess I have cleared them all that are counted to these missions ..

Damn, that's a lot of cleared locations if that's the case. Guess waiting for locations to reset would probably do the trick. But now that I think about it, I used to get a lot of repeat quests from them, in places where I could just walk up with no enemies and unlocked doors and loot the chest again or whatever. Back when it was my first time and I did them over and over.
About Mr Handsy (and some others) sending to FH, I'd much prefer if he didn't. At least until I went to Far Harbor first.

I think many locations are not even recognized by the quest or they have added too few locations to them.

And yeah I only meant that they would send users to DLCs locations after there is no more base game locations where to send to. Mr Handsy alredy send users to FH at least it did for me. The others don’t.

A lot of the times your second or even first location from Handsy is in FH. Emily Marcus often sends to NW for her quest. It doesn't really matter how many locations you cleared in this case. It seems somewhat related to where they give you the quest, at least I figured that must be the case. A lot of the times I send Archibald and Katherine to Egret or Sommerville and they spam me with Roxbury station, Hyde park or Nahant.

Yeah Nahant And Hyde Park seem to be very popular I don’t think it matters where you Send them to live as settlement. They either have too few locations on their list or as the old locations where you had already been Refresh they send you back to those locations so it’s not that random at all where they send the player.

EDIT: In your case @Antoine Soverie I imagine you don’t play on survival difficulty so your locations just refreshed so that’s why the NPCS kept sending You to same locations all the time.
