I’ve been playing on a regular basis since launch, and I’ve never even heard of this quest. On an off topic note, last week on a random bad guy somewhere I found a .44 revolver that can carry as many rounds as you have in inventory instead of the normal six. I never saw that before either! It’s really nice, no more reloading.
Just my second time right now. Was exploring arround Sanctuary, she past me 65 feed away. It was in the middle in the Forest over the stream. I run to her and had a mission!
It's more common to run into this npc if you dont have any dlc installed. esp if Automatron isn't installed, since it replaces 80% of random encounters with Rust Devil encounters.
@@ChisponGroxoyour right. Just don't listen to the caravan distress signal and avoid the place where you encounter ada and you won't get the rust devils etc
I was trying to escort Professor Goodfeels to his factory for maintenance when Ness showed up for me and immediately aggro’d onto Goodfeels. I had to reload the save, take jet to rush ahead of Goodfeels, and then talk to Ness so she would be distracted by dialogue when Goodfeels passed by. I was in a rush to follow the bot, so I didn’t even get to haggle a better price. It’s all good though since I took all the loot and killed her. That’s what she gets for messing with my pointless side goals.
@@michaeldmingo1525 Turns out to be a total waste of time. Haha. There’s no living humans there to do the repairs that Goodfeels needs, and there wasn’t anything programmed into the game to allow the player to help Goodfeels any further. He just hangs around doing nothing. The only way to have Goodfeels play a larger role in your play through is to download mods that turns him into a proper settler/companion.
Only recently I found this encounter, I ended up killing all of them because I remembered one of these downed planes had guess rifles in them. But, instead the guess rifles were in the glowing sea plane.
Congrats on all the recent success Opulent, like a month ago you started popping up in my feed and the vids would be between 200-1000 views and now when I look at your channel everything has a minimum of like 5k and a bunch just completely blew up!
Ayyyeee, appreciate it bro! Yeah jumped at the opportunity to play a great franchise I've always loved and make interesting videos again, thanks for being around!
I did run into her on my first playthrough. Met up near the crash site and my game bugged out. Couldn't get her to respond, my character would just call her name and she wouldn't respond. It just works - lord Howard
@@Jhenryx60 No I'm 100% sure I didn't. Because I didn't use pickpocketing at all in my playthrough. Tried console commands to advance the quest stage alas nothing helped. I guess the other mercs she hired got killed on their way there because she was waiting for me alone.
How can a guy like me, who has about 1000+ hours of Fallout 4 Gameplay, cannot get this quest at all? That makes me feel like I had only about 12 hours...
I got this encounter at level 18, I know a lot of encounters can get drowned out when you're a high level and have done dlcs like automation because I constantly get rust devil encounters on my high level character and get lots like this on a fresh, low level account
Argh... Seems like the same thing with The Scribe. His spawnrate is also much more rare thanks to the Automatron DLC. Bethesda really wants me to destroy robots instead of giving me more life in the Commonwealth. Thx, Todd.
@@opulenthalo There is a reason I bumrush the Railroad quest line. Can't run into those stupid Automatrons if you haven't even started the mechanist story line.
Ness is listed as a raider and can aggro guards if she gets close to them and that also aggros the guards with you meaning she's a good way to get a lot of bounties built up especially because she also happens to randomly show up if you work with her the first time. I always avoid her and just take the loot myself after leveling up significantly as the loot there does level with the character. So wait always before going to either of the Skylanes planes and you have a good chance of getting more in selling loot than Ness ever offers you without the added issue of Ness potentially causing issues with friendly locations.
When I got to the crash site, Ness was there without her buddies but she was bugged out and won't acknowledge or talk to me. She now hangs out there permanently and fights with any faction that shows up (gouls, brotherhood, raiders, etc...) with complete immunity. The quest is still in my menu, complete with a quest marker on the map but I can't complete it even after looting the area several times. I pickpocketed her when I first met her and excepted the quest, I'm guessing that might have been the cause of her bugging out.
@@Torch4Life I actually thought about this soon after posting this comment, I'm sure I still have everthing I pickpocketed from her and should be able to find it.
I have played since January 4, 2016 and have +6000 hours. I found her once, I tried to talk to her after clearing it out by myself (at least that’s how I remember it) either way, she had no dialogue for me after that and only said the standard dialogue that NPCs have. I admit I haven’t even been looking for her in years and almost forgotten about it.
I played fallout my for first time a few months ago, this was one of the first missions i encountered. I literally ended the first quest of the minutemen and was like level 6 or something I went there with a double shotgun and the laser rifle, pretty hard fight, died a few times hahaha Then when i get to the compartment part i didn't have the courage to kill her, didn't have enough stealth to steal from her not enough charisma to the orange option..... I ended up just letting her with her loot and going back to sanctuary XD
I was in the same situation, I got this encounter early in the game. Although, when I got there everyone was hostile including her so I just killed them all and took the loot. I was like level 9 or something, fun times😃
I found her on my first and second playthrough, but i never found her again But you can still loot the container of gauss rifles even if you don't talk to Ness
Didn't know this was a random encounter quest. And that it is so rare. When I did this quest, I accidentally killed one of the mercenaries, and Ness became hostile towards me, so I wasn't able to experience the last half of the quest. Thank you for this video. 👍
it plays out exactly the same for the old gen. Although the quest isnt as rare as you say. If you hang out by the Cambridge spawn area, she pops in quite often.
There are 3 ways to do the plane..you will need master lockpick ability 1 and 3.. 1 just go to it. 2 find her and do it. 3 there is a note on a raider (random encounter) talking about it...
I saw this encounter recently on someone's first playthrough as soon as they arrived at the drumlin diner (you know, that random encounter spawn location) and I have never once seen this encounter in 2k hours, mostly on survival with no fast travel.
did this like 3 times, once she got the loot, once I ran and got it first and she turned hostile, another time I had already taken the loot, and just ignored her random encounter.
i've done this and in fact every time i teleport to the plane i meet a new faction grouped there ready to fight. currently level 138 and i'm trying to get to 1million caps - 880,000 or so atm. i started working with computers (UNIVAC 9400) in 1973...
Ironically, I am there right now. I paused it to watch a movie. I have over 3,000 hrs in this game; I may have come across that npc in one of the games I've played previously but not in my current one.
I didnt know it was rare, i literally saw her while on my way back to Abernathy farm and she was the first non-settlement friendly npc i found so i ran up to her like a puppy dog
Wish i could recruit Ness as a settler and she'll occasionally give you quest to find loot all over the commonwealth kinda like Preston but instead of helping settlements, you rid of Raiders and Gunner of their chems/weapon and ammo/Armors stash
Yeah, but I prefer to save scum until I get the Scribe random encounter. I found and cleared the plane crash way before I ever encountered her in my first playthrough circa 2016. I do like the imposter Preston Garvey encounter though, it's pointless but fun to call him out.
I recall on I think my first playthrough at launch doing this quest. Alternatively since then, I’ve just gone to the plane to clear it out anyways as it’s just regular loot.
Had it trigger the other day, Preston was walking to the Castle at the same time so opened fire on her. Accidentally killed her, so I went to rob the place myself. Game crashed as PS4. Reloaded game and it was a different random encounter the next time.
I played it and after getting all the bounty possible, I killed her too and took all her stuff, as well, and looted all the dead raiders and looted all the stuff around the plain. he he he.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that agrees melee combat is better in third person! Especially if it’s against other humanoid opponents, but all the time is preferred.
Well.. I did preeetty much the same, with the tiny difference that at the end I was ok with the deal and was going to leave her alone. But just out of curiosity, I checked the hidden compartment. I didn't take anything though. Too bad for her, she toke it the wrong way and immediately attacked me. And since the "pacify" perk is a joke, in this game, I didn't appreciated her lack of trust in me and had no other options than explain my point of view in the only language she could understand. So yeah... different intentions, but it ended exactly as yours.
Funnily enough, I bumped into her the other night in my 400+ hour playthrough, but I had already found her secret loot so the quest began and ended right there and then. One minute after telling her though, she started attacking one of my nearby provisioners for no apparent reason. Whatever the case, it only took a single round into her head to end her story. Don't fuck with a man's provisioners 🤣
I did meet with Ness but arriving at the plane crash site, none of the mercenary was there. So I keep talking to Ness and she does nothing 😢 This is why 0.1% of people did not do this quest because ita bugged!
I have done it exactly ONCE, it is better to just get to where you can open master locks and just take the loot for yourself. you'll rarely see her anyway. I think I have only ever seen her twice and I have over 5600 hours in Fallout 4
I've actually done this quest. Can't say I didn't cross Ness. The enemy raiders were much tougher than I anticipated and I wasn't doing this for chump change.
Have you found and completed this quest?
Buy me a coffee☕: tinyurl.com/OpHalo
Yes, once.
I just found it. And I've played since launch

YO IM THAT 0.1 % LESS GO
The moment i saw that "quicksaving" i knew her time had come
I let out an audible "Oh shit here we go"
Why does Ness talk like she should be a Simpsons character? 😆
More importantly why does Ness talk like she’s 200 years old
Because Nancy Cartwright is the voice actor.
@@Doug50pl fair enough. 😆
And all the vault dwellers look like Simpson's characters.
Why do you talk like you have room temperature IQ?
I just politely told her that I already found the secret chest. She was frustrated but just accepted the fact before leaving.
Same here, MacCready loved it.
"I've been searching for these wrecks for years, beats selling scrap!"
~ *opens the compartment to reveal bog standard container loot* ~
Actually the loot isn't random this time.
3:10 Don't let Boeing find out about this...
He took care of it.
It's more common to run into this npc if you dont have any dlc installed. esp if Automatron isn't installed, since it replaces 80% of random encounters with Rust Devil encounters.
Makes sense. Ran into this first playthrough. Didn't have any dlcs then.
Yeah it makes everything so repetitive when all you find is robots. But they only spawn after you rescue Ada right?
@@ChisponGroxo to my knowledge, I believe so. At the very least, they appear in higher frequency.
@@ChisponGroxoyour right. Just don't listen to the caravan distress signal and avoid the place where you encounter ada and you won't get the rust devils etc
Yeah, like it's so annoying when nearly almost every random encounter I get is Rust Devils here and there.

What happens if you take goodfeels to get repaired?

I never even knew this was a thing, all I knew was the plane and the chem stash.
Only recently I found this encounter, I ended up killing all of them because I remembered one of these downed planes had guess rifles in them. But, instead the guess rifles were in the glowing sea plane.
you mean gauss rifles?
@@Dzdzovnica uhhh... auto correct says we're wrong.🤯
@@elmo1639 what? Its Gauss rifles. For Carl Friedrich Gauss. A scientist. Gauss gun is a different name for an electromagnetic coil gun.
@@aleksanderlenartowicz5659 I'm sorry dude... I think you have the TH-cam comment section confused with Reddit. but it's cool. Best of luck👍🙂

I see someone wanted to see if Codsworth would say it.
Just ran into Ness recently for the first time after years of playing, there is always something new to discover ❤
I have done this quest every single time I've started over. I ran into her usually on the tracks outside Tenpines or out in front of Drumlin Diner.
I saw this encounter recently on someone's first playthrough as soon as they arrived at the drumlin diner (you know, that random encounter spawn location) and I have never once seen this encounter in 2k hours, mostly on survival with no fast travel.

hard to do a quest that NEVER SPAWNS
Save scum
Ran across this once, pretty fun. Love your swordplay, always enjoyed a good melee run, lol
I’m at level 88 and I haven’t encountered this yet haha
Random events straight up dont trigger If you to high level this game is broken
In all of my playthroughs since the game's launch I've never seen the vast majority of the level 4 settler rare encounters
I've only ever done that plane on my own - didn't know there was a possible quest for it.
i've done this and in fact every time i teleport to the plane i meet a new faction grouped there ready to fight. currently level 138 and i'm trying to get to 1million caps - 880,000 or so atm.

Why does Ness sound like Wirt the Peg Legged Boy from Diablo 1 ?
I just found this quest yesterday. I leveled up after haggling with her too.
Wish i could recruit Ness as a settler and she'll occasionally give you quest to find loot all over the commonwealth kinda like Preston but instead of helping settlements, you rid of Raiders and Gunner of their chems/weapon and ammo/Armors stash
I was not expecting the skyrim helmet
bro is SEVERELY overqualified for this job
Bro was playing demoknight in fallout 4
2:25 is that the same voice actor as ness?
If you clear the raiders out at the crash site before meeting her, you get a different "outcome"
How do you see the enemy level in VATs. Is that something in Perks.. or..
Hmm, I remember this quest. It was the quest that brought me to the crash site for the first time.
Bro flew in the air
Yeah, but I prefer to save scum until I get the Scribe random encounter. I found and cleared the plane crash way before I ever encountered her in my first playthrough circa 2016. I do like the imposter Preston Garvey encounter though, it's pointless but fun to call him out.
I didn't run into her until after I looted the plane.
I dont remember if I was able to pick the cabinet or not....
Awesome. I initiated but didn’t meet Ness yet. Had no idea there was a squad mission
I was disinterested at the 50 caps and must not have enough Charisma to get nore
I recall on I think my first playthrough at launch doing this quest.
Alternatively since then, I’ve just gone to the plane to clear it out anyways as it’s just regular loot.
I've done it almost every run. in this current one too.
I have a vague recollection of meeting her years ago.
I've played this game for hundreds of hours and completed it every which way and the got platinum. I only just stumbled upon this quest last week lol.
I did this with a suppressed sniper rifle. The other raiders never even fired a shot.
Where do you find her to start the quest?
yes
I met her and told I’d cleaned out the place, even the ‘secret’ compartment.
I've done this one, but it certainly is a rare spawn.
I did get this quest early on but accidentally attacked Ness’s cronies before Ness turned up!
That Dialoge option
Had it trigger the other day, Preston was walking to the Castle at the same time so opened fire on her. Accidentally killed her, so I went to rob the place myself. Game crashed as PS4. Reloaded game and it was a different random encounter the next time.
You did her super dirty.
I guess this quest only can done before "Reunions", and then BOS will take on that place
Is this quest available in the vanilla game or is this a part of a dlc/mod?
I played F4 like 30 times and only found that quest once so yes it's rare.
Met her and did the quest during my 1st ever run-through. Never seen her again
Found it, played it several times. So that's what Ness looks like clothed...
I have the quest but it glitched out and every time I go, ness isn't there ahaha. I may try console commands to fix
what’s the mod for the pop boy called?
I played it and after getting all the bounty possible, I killed her too and took all her stuff, as well, and looted all the dead raiders and looted all the stuff around the plain. he he he.
Is the dragon helmet a mod or...
It's Creation Club, Fantasy Hero Set
WOW, You just hit poor dogmeat, not even a damm stimpak, poor fellow,
I’m glad I’m not the only one that agrees melee combat is better in third person! Especially if it’s against other humanoid opponents, but all the time is preferred.
Wait this is rare? I was wondering why this quest never came up again after my first playthrough
I've played Fallou 4 just over 5100 hours and I've only ever seen this quest ONCE!
Never knew they addedsomeone also named Ness ingame
Well.. I did preeetty much the same, with the tiny difference that at the end I was ok with the deal and was going to leave her alone.
But just out of curiosity, I checked the hidden compartment. I didn't take anything though.
Too bad for her, she toke it the wrong way and immediately attacked me.
And since the "pacify" perk is a joke, in this game, I didn't appreciated her lack of trust in me and had no other options than explain my point of view in the only language she could understand.
So yeah... different intentions, but it ended exactly as yours.
I completely forgot this quest existed
Ah yes, this quest. By the time I got this quest, in the play through I was running, I was definetly overpowered. It was all fun though.
Funnily enough, I bumped into her the other night in my 400+ hour playthrough, but I had already found her secret loot so the quest began and ended right there and then.
One minute after telling her though, she started attacking one of my nearby provisioners for no apparent reason.
Whatever the case, it only took a single round into her head to end her story.
Don't fuck with a man's provisioners 🤣
I always grab my Gauss Rifle here, without the quest of course.
I did meet with Ness but arriving at the plane crash site, none of the mercenary was there. So I keep talking to Ness and she does nothing 😢 This is why 0.1% of people did not do this quest because ita bugged!
I have tried many times to get this quest to trigger, but I have been unsuccessful in every playthrough
I did this quest twice on diferente saves, tho me playing this since launch and only doing this 2 time’s says something
I didn't know this quest was rare cause I got it without any noticeable trouble. Lucky I guess...
I've done thst quest one time. Haven't been able to find her in any of my other playthroughs.
I thought it was mod when it bugged out in my game and she was stuck waiting for her companions so I looked it up to find it was vanilla.
I have done it exactly ONCE, it is better to just get to where you can open master locks and just take the loot for yourself. you'll rarely see her anyway. I think I have only ever seen her twice and I have over 5600 hours in Fallout 4
So I ran into her the other day on my playthrough she was for some reason attacking one of my supply line people and I had to kill her
I'm pretty sure I came across this wreckage on my own
I think I got this on my first playthrough; didn't really think much of it.
What helm is that?
Im part of the 0.1%. Found this on my first playthrough.
I've gotten this quest twice, but it bugged out both times.
I've actually done this quest. Can't say I didn't cross Ness. The enemy raiders were much tougher than I anticipated and I wasn't doing this for chump change.
I think this was added in the latest update. I got it just the other day after many play throughs
