Missing Companion

Post » Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:33 am

I'm having problems locating Arcade Gannon. I recruited him to get the achievement (he was the last one I needed) and then went back to another companion to run their personal quest. When I went back for Arcade (to do HIS quest) he isn't where I recruited him from.
Did I miss something? All of the other companions go back to their recruitment location but so far Arcade has not.

Was it something I said?

Did you direct him back to the Lucky 38 instead?

Personally I let Arcade go from the Remnants Bunker up in the hills, got another follower and did a bunch of stuff. A long time later as I was clearing up some mines up in the hills I come across Gannon walking along the road. He had covered a VERY small distance for the time I was gone. I'm thinking that companions walking back don't speed up when you fast travel. Try finding him along the road from where you let him go.

They seem to roam sometimes, too. Twice I've dropped Rex off at the Lucky 38 only to find him running around Freeside later. Like he turned around right after I dismissed him, decided to visit the King, then realized I told him to go to the 38.

I let him go about 10 seconds after recruiting him. I only recruited him when I did so that I could knock out the achievement for getting everyone.
I don't think his travel speed has anything to do with it since I dropped him just outside of his own tent and have searched the entire fort for him. No dice.

Maybe he doesn't take rejection very well?

FYI: I have released companions halfway across the map, did one or two things and then fast traveled to thier "home" location and found them standing there waiting on me.
I did this several times while going through my list of people to recruit.
Who knows? Maybe Boone and Cass just run faster?

Quick question which is about Arcade but not exactly the same problem. Is it possible to finish his companion quest and keep him as a companion afterwards? I really want the Enclave armor but I also still want him hanging around :angry:
