Yeah, I didn't take it but I was still able to get up to the Doctor peacefully by talking my way through the guards. Is that the one that enables the pacifist route?
I am also starting the BOS questline as the Railroad one doesn't really give me any hints on how to progress it and the Minute men are lame. Don't know yet if I will have to just see that one through the end or if I can switch to another one soon if I find out how to find the Railroad.
I got intoth Prywen and stole a bunch of Fusion cores, I am up to my neck in those things now, I can just strut aroundin Power Armor and kill everything with my Baseball bat. I killed "Swan" the behemot and an Alpha Deathclaw that was marked as overleveled. Still playing on hard.
Proctor Ingram is also missing, I am tempted to use console commands to find her (They finally work again) but I might just be missing where she goes.
