Finding NPC's after letting them go

[aleqgrai]

After I figured out how to let go an NPC to pick up another (let go Veronica to pick up Cass for the Van Graff gig) I sent Veronica back to the Lucky 38.

 

M'kay - so finished up with Cass - goto the Lucky 38 - no Veronica. Wait a few days - nada. Goto 188 - nothing. Goto BOS bunker - nothing.

The same goes for Lily - they have evaporated - so what glaringly obvious point am I missing here. Is this just noob silliness - or a bug, or something else?

 

As an aside - Ed-E however had no problem going back it's point of origin.

They do tend to get lost.This mod will teleport them back to you.Just installed this one yesterday and so far it's worked well.

if you are standing right outside the strip, in front of the security bots, and tell your companion to meet you at the 38, the robots will kill them when they try to enter the strip.......

I found a trick for the console that has solved the problem (Using the Player Moveto <NPC ID>) - BUT - the fact this happens to begin with is a pain - couple that with script issues with some of the quests is the components of the quest done ina certain order - I have to say I am a little disappointed Obsidian - come on guys you set the standard - you know you can do better. Having to faff about trying to fix an issue in the light of an ever increasing number of crashes (Gommorah is a pain) it's beginning to get on my nerves.
