Is my companion dead? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:57 am

Okay so I was planning on going into Legion turf, so I told Boone to head back to the casino, but I go back and he's not there. Can your companions die when you send them back, and would it notify you if they died while out of your party?

If you are playing on hardcoe they can die whilst with you, but I'm not sure if they'll also do that when heading back to somewhere. If you're not playing on hardcoe they just go unconsious whilst with you and again I'm not too sure if they will die while heading back to somewhere.

Try waiting a number of days and then search the areas around the casino. I've also heard of a bug where Companion's get 'lost' not sure if it's what's happened to you.

I'm not playing on hardcoe mode. It has been a few days, and I have searched, even in Novac. This svcks, Boone's my favorite follower.

You can use the console to spawn next to your companion or have him spawn next to you.

I've seen some weird behavior by companions. One ended in Black Mountain without me ever traveling there and while I dismissed her in New Vegas. Not sure why they do stuff like this.

Oh, you know Boone. He probably took some route around to have fun shooting Legionists

There is an Ingame Mechanism that makes NPCs that are traveling but not in your party get ingnored by ingame enemies. However if you are in the cell with them when enemies approach, these other NPCs may become involved in the battle.

Now, that being said, sometimes the NPCs are still killed by the ingame enemies if you are not around, but that is a glitch. More than likely they get stuck in a pathing issue or a clipping issue if they get lost.

Also, it takes time for the NPCs to return to the home base. Have you tried waiting 72 in game hours?

About 3-5 days has passed since I told him to go, he was the first one I sent there. My other 4 companions I sent after are there, but I sent them while I was in new Vegas, and they're all in my suite. Rex is the only companion I haven't sent (on an unrelated sidenote, Rex is a pansy). Oh and when I sent him there where two normal feral ghouls nearby, he had full health, then I fast traveled away after I sent him, but he could definately handle those ghouls on his own.

If you have gone through Vault 22, and fixed the elevator, then take the elevator to the 5th floor and all your companions should be there.

when you dismiss a companion they return to their homes:

Boone. goes to Novac
ED-E. goes to Primm....

I haven't gone there, and I've checked his town.

Also, today I made Cassidy wait outside silver rush, I went in, and when I came out guess what, she's missing too. So I searched everywhere, couldn't find her, and had to reload a save from 15 minutes earlier.

They don't die in FONV, they get rendered unconscious until the battle ends. You might have them trapped in a loop or melted into the scenery somewhere, heard lots of epic failure about those issues. That's why I keep my friends close or leave them at home.

This is so damn frustrating.

He goes to the casino if you tell him to, I know I've done it before, and as I said before I searched everywhere in Novac.

I'm pretty sure this is a known but with companions disappearing. Check some of the Xbox 360 issues threads. I'm fairly certain there is a thread about this exact issue, as well as a few ideas for workaround in it.

There's a bug with companion, and fast travel or something like that. Try waiting 24 hours, that usually solves the problem... usually.

Boone will be either in his room which is behind the stairs, or in the dino mouth after 9:20pm

ED-E will be in the Mojave Express building where you originally found him.

If you still can't find him use the vault 22 trick. take the elevator to the 5th floor.
you will have to repair it so make sure your repair skill is up

I checked his room and the dino mouth. The vault 22 trick only works for ppl in your party, he disappeared after I sent him to the casino, so he's no longer in my party.

This issue has been resolved, after about a week passing by (in game time) Boone has finally shown up at the casino.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:11 am

Yeah the help/bug forum says if you lose a companion wait seven days. Seems like an awfully long time to wait but if it works it works.
