Boone kills himself?

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:35 am

A friend of mine is freaking out because Boone went wacko and swallowed his tongue.

Boone is dead. After re-activating Helios One by myself, I went to retrieve Boone and ED-E from the front door of the observation tower. We walked out, autosave kicked in. Boone gave a non-sequiter response ("I just killed my last legionnaire") and ran back inside. I go back inside to get him and he's lying there dead. No robots nearby, no damage given to him, nothing -- just dead. Boom. Companion quest failed. Autosave is, of course, on the inside of the door and my last hardsave is an hour ago. Eff this. So much for the sniper of doom.


Any thoughts?

Good to know the "resurrect" command works in FONV. It's the only way to cure these anomolous bugs in the game.

Great. Now I just want him to do it on the toilet. Gun in the mouth. In his underwear. 7.62 millimeter.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Boone should be unkillable (he got the Essential marker turn on by default), means you can only knock him unconscious (even 2000000000 nukes cant kill him), sounds like OP friend game bugged.

As I understand it, Boone will try to kill himself if you ally with the Legion for the main-quest. I have not done this, so I can not confirm it.

Edit: In hardcoe, companions can die I think, not just get knocked unconscious as in Normal Mode.

it sounds like you did not do his personal quest
i finished EDi and Rex personal quest
now to make boone happy i must kill caesar while he is with me
he never talks to me
he will when i do what is needed to trigger his side quest
remember the legion had his wife and unborn child and if he likes u he will tell you his bitterness
talk to the guy in camp forlorn whose name is bitter s.. cannot remember it all.. see if that man talks about bitter springs
boone has serious issues and that man will prompt boone to talk or his sniper buddy, where u found boone. might tell you. u do need to use the wheel and click on talk, ask about his wife, to see what boone did, very sad
every companion needs i think 5 points to do their quest
in boones case we did nelson together but others we did not so the only thing i can do to finish his quest is to kill ceasar

i am level 24 and only did the main quest up to getting the suite from mr house
have not even gone to see benny yet

so i am just doing side quest

Yes, companions can die in hardcoe mode.

Raising an NPC from the dead in FO3 wasn't too hard with the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyt9Fi44xxk. Not sure whether the commands have changed in FO:NV.

1. Get near the body, and look at it
2. Open the console (the tilde key on the PC)
3. Click on the NPC's body, the ID will show at the top of the screen
4. "prid ID" will select that object
5. kill, resurrect, disable, enable
6. Exit the console

If the NPC was killed far away from where they should be, you should use the Player.PlaceAtMe command instead after the "prid" line. And you'll need to know the actor's ID ahead of time (or find their corpse).

Yeah..

Boone (or any companion for that matter) are sometimes a pain. You tel them to wait, they are nowhere to be found.

The times I had to use the moveplayer command or placeatme when the first didn't work....

However, it now seems that using these console commands (I've use only the ones above and tcl once because I got stuck in between to tents at Camp Forlorn Hope) disables achievements.
I had an ingame announcement stating that I had completed the You run Bartertown challenge, but steam seemed to disagree. Strangely enough I also completed the explorer challenge (50 locations) earlier and that did show up in Steam.

Anyone has an Idea how that's possible.

(oh, and When using the Placeatme console command and you fast travel anywhere you have two Boones if the other was still alive. Create an army of Boone with this information ;))
