Bugs

 * PC and Ps4 Confirmed. When helping her clean the plane from monsters,if you leave her waiting to finish a quest then even come back later, she will never speak with the Sole Survivor again even though the quest marker still marks her supposed location. Solution: pickpocketing the note (called "Ness' Lead") from her allows the quest to be completed.
 * If walking with Preston Garvey while on the way to the castle for the Taking Independence quest. She will become hostile towards Ness if encountered. As companions level with the PC then Preston would be capable of killing Ness at level 30 (see note on Settlers) while he is marked Essential. But assuming only because he was a companion at the time with the PC and therefore able to kill a Protected NPC. Or the PC also joins the fight.
 * Settlers will turn hostile to her, but neither can kill one or the other. Settlers are Level 2 Protected (can't be killed except by PC) and Ness was level 30 (maximum level 35) and also Protected. if they fight it will be for a couple of minutes then they walk their separate ways.
