Fawkes, what the blazes are you doing here?

[CyrusFyre]

Okay so I'm playing Fallout 3. I'm returning to my Megaton house to rest, resupply and then head over to Moira's in the morning to finish the next phase of her quest. Then outside my house is Fawkes walking around. He yells "Go away!" if I try to talk to him and just paces around menacingly.

 

Here's the thing though, I've never met Fawkes in this game. I've never been to Vault 87. I've never even been to Little Lamplight yet.

 

So my question is: What should I do about it? I've noticed that several NPC's aren't where they are supposed to be but usually it's an easy fix, it's a glitchy game that way but this one I'm not sure how to go about fixing. I've been to Megaton many times and he's never been there before now.

 

Thanks for the help.

Clipped the "" to save space. What was the last mod you installed? can you extract the last saved games listed load-order and post it? Not the plugin.txt file, what the saved game was running. It can be obtained using Fomm (0.13.21 version)

data extras? AKA (fose), ENB,ini tweaks, Graphics tweaks?

I can see whats up.

I'm... actually not sure how to do that. I'm willing just need some instructions on how to provide you what you need.

 

Funny thing though. The NPC weirdness was happening in a vanilla game I had too... I'm not saying it's not a mod though, heck they could be just a coincidence.

As far as other stuff: I use FOSE (ver 1.2 beta 2.7), Roberts Male bodies, and Exnem's female bodies.

 

I run on Win7 and so did this to the documents .ini:

bUseThreadedAI=0

change it to

bUseThreadedAI=1

Add this line after it

iNumHWThreads=2

 

and now my game actually runs. Before this it did not at all, would crash or freeze constantly.

 

I've turned off multiple GPU while I play this because it makes the water look really bad if I don't.

 

The last mod was http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/17938/? this one but I'm actually not "using it" as I haven't acquired the companion though I've found the shack and it's on my map now. And I've got MZC but it's not active, I don't want it active until I've actually played through Mothership Zeta first just my personal preference. I've tested it though with a different save and it worked well.

 

I tried deactivating the ghoul companion mod but it didn't seem to help. Also I'd recently had an issue with Jessi the dialogue freeze bug she's known to have so I had to console take her stuff, disable her, save, reenable her, prid id and moveto player her, rehire her, save. I've had to do it before once and nothing bad seemed to happen but who can say if that messed things up or not.

 

That's all I've done to my game. Hope this helps and thanks.

Okay so I just disabled Fawkes in Megaton and continued with my game. When I got to Vault 87 in game, predictably, Fawkes wasn't there. So I did the little quest with the intercom and, being a good guy, I helped him out. When I opened the door and he's supposed to help me out of course the room was empty so I used the Prid command and then enabled him and then used moveto player and he appeared before me and his dialogue launched as if he'd just stepped from the room and everything is great. Even had him as a companion for a while, he showed up at Raven Rock and everything. So I'm good. I'm mainly posting this in case someone else has a similar issue with Fawkes or any other scripted NPC like him (as I see no reason why this might not work for them as well). Later!
