Fallout 4 The First Step Bug



FO4 'The First Step' Minutemen Bug Issues??? Really confused about why I can't start the Minutemen quest 'The First Step.' In my journal, the objective still says to 'Talk to the settlers at Tenpines Bluff.' But when I go to Tenpines Bluff, none of the settlers there will advance the quest. The First Step is a side quest, not a main quest line. Go and speak to Preston Garvey - at some point he will probably offer you another side quest anyway, maybe not instantly though. The second quest line for the Minutemen after 'When Freedom Calls' is 'Taking Independence' by the way.

Walkthrough

  • Right after the conclusion of the previous call, the player is named General and is tasked with rebuilding the faction from scratch. The goal is to reestablish the Minutemen as a force to be reckoned with, starting from the basics.
  • The player has to head to the marked location and talk to the settlers to learn that a group of raiders has been making their lives miserable. Then it's just a matter of heading to the marked location, wiping them out, then returning to earn the first in a network of Minuteman settlements.
