Well I haven't seen Tanner in a while but I just built Mercers Safe House at the Sunshine Trading Coop and since it was going to be a synth safe house I decided to make Deacon city manager and build a city using RotC. During the build animation a bunch of non settler Railroad Agents showed up, wasn't sure if this was because Deacon was city manager or because of the build Mercer Safehouse quest. Just as an aside I have never had the build Mercer Safehouse as a quest and this is like my 5th play though lol.
Anyway...I was thinking great I have 5 Railroad heavies to help protect my safe house even if they don't seem to count toward the defense rating, they still shoot attackers.
Then Cartaker a synth involved in the Mercer Safehouse quest shows up to ask me if he can live here and if I can clear the way for other synths to move through, and I 'm like no problem bro!
Well apparently the Railroad Agents think otherwise because as soon as they notice Caretaker they blast his ass until he does the sit down animation, luckily Cartaker is essential so he does not die. But as soon as he stands up and if the Railroad Agents are close they blast away again.
With Tanner I just killed her ass, but I kind of want to keep the Railroad Agents, but if it keeps happening maybe I will kill them off once and see if they respawn.
I currently have visitors on.
This almost seems like it could be a perfect storm or different things, Deacon, a quest from the Railroad and a quest from Preston to make this a settlement all happening at the same time.
Thoughts?
Edit: Well I went ahead and made a save then killed the Railroad Agents, now to see if they respawn....good way to get 5 gauss rifles I guess.
Edit 2: The Railroad Agents respawned the first time I came back to the settlement and are still blasting Caretaker so I guess I will simply have to live with it, as Caretaker does not die, or turn off visitors and see what happens.
