Followers Trouble

[Crowbennett08]

Posting this for a few reasons:

 

1. Because Followers never seem to work right in the game

2. To help each other with problems some of us may have had, and to give advice on if we fixed it or not. :wallbash:

 

 

Charon was following me into vault 87 to do some scavenging, all was fine until all of the sudden, he collapses. I thought he was dead, but vats clearly showed me he was at full health. Yet, i could not speak to him.

 

Just to see i went into another area, low and behold, he spawned as if following me still, he is actually still following me, but once there he collapses again, lifeless but alive. He's on the ground, for no freakin reason.

 

wtf?

 

i waited a LONGGGGGG time for him to heal himself before this incident, i just started taking him out again, and now this. he had 1 bar of health for at least 2 months. then magically he had 20, so i decided to take him with me. He was doing fine before this. I'm going to try to hire someone else, and see if he spawns back in underworld, otherwise i'm stumped.

I had a similar problem in another area of the game. It wasn't with a regular follower, but the mission where Dr. Li and her crew follows you. She just stopped at a door and wouldn't go any further. I couldn't get her to move even by shooting at her, and nothing I said would move her or her friends. I had to go back to an earlier save, basically back to the beginning of that segment of the mission to get her to act right. If that had happened on the first time around, I would have probably been stuck not knowing what to do.

 

As for a regular follower, it's never happened, but I can see where it could. Just go back to an earlier save. I save every little bit anyway so it's no big deal for me. I hate waking miles and then being blown to bits or from out of nowhere a deathclaw jumps me.
