Companion Deaths

[extremegunner]

I'm not sure if this the right place to ask and if it's not, then let me apologize. I'm just wondering if there any way to reverse the death of a companion using the console? I was playing on casual mode, thinking that companions cannot possibly die. But well, apparently they can if they're not with you. Deathclaws got a jump on Veronica after I dismissed her, while I continued through the game without really knowing what happened. It was probably a few hours since my last save that I was sure that she hadn't died. So when I finally found out she was dead, I took the lazy way out and resurrected her using the console. But apparently she's still flagged as dead anyways, since right at the ending she was mentioned to have died and it's bugging me to no end, since I was aiming for a 'perfect' ending.

 

So yea, any help would be great.

 

P.S This place have really nice interface.

Yes, kindly go to http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_companions view the companion you want to respawn, then view the "base id" of that follower use your this is what you will type on the "<ref_id>" replace the quoted with the base id of your companion.

 

Here <ref_id> is an internal number for the companion - for Veronica this seems to be 000e32a9 - you can get the ID's of others from the Wikia site as well.

 

This will move the companion to your location:

 

prid <ref_id>

moveto player

 

This will move you to the companions current location:

 

player.moveto <ref_id>

 

If these don't work the recommendation is to kill and resurrent the companion. First use these two:

 

prid <ref_id>

OpenTeammateContainer 1

 

This should give you their inventory windows - empty it into your own. Then do the following, and hopefully the companion should be back:

 

moveto player

resurrect 1

disable

enable

 

P.S. Give a Kudos if it works or not*

I've actually found out that she died when I moved to her position after not seeing her back at the 188. When I teleported next to her lifeless body, I think 5 Deathclaws jumped out of nowhere and beat the living crap outta me. I fought them off, then I proceeded to play God and resurrected her, after I grabbed everything from her body.

 

I'm gonna try disabling and enabling her, hopefully the game would somehow reset her 'you're dead' flag.

 

EDIT: Nope, the game still registered her as dead in the ending. Something tells me this can only be solved by G.E.C.K.. But I don't really know how to access my save file with it.

 

Oh and a friendly warning, go to the place where you recruited your companions and dismiss them there if you have to. Or else you'll risk them running into hordes of crap and die without you knowing.
