Stupid followers keep stealing my stuff!

Post » Mon Feb 14, 2011 7:48 am

So I found a few of those rare Nuka colas and decided to set them up to make my suite look nice and pretty. However when I return from Vault 3 about an hour later. All my Nuka cola is gone. I looked in the fridge and its all empty. I had a month supply of food in there! Anyone else having this problem? :rolleyes:

Well they have to eat don't they? So when they follow you, you have to feed them. :) Yeah it svcks, but because they are your "followers" they follow you and stop following the script of not going on their own and eating, so they take what is avaliable, espeically if you tell them to stay there and not move. I am only guessing there, but that is how I think it works. I could be wrong though.

Now it will be funny if it's marked red for them and if they care if they loose karma or not.

You don't actually feed them. They just eat everything in the house.

The crates are glitched, leaving your stuff there causes it to disappear because the containers are set to respawn empty. Basically anything you put inside there is gonna disappear whether your companions are there or not.

On the topic of people stealing your stuff, yeah its annoying thats why I kicked them all out. When Boone ate the feast and drank all the alcohol I spent 30 minutes perfectly organizing around my place I got mad. Not to mention they stole all my Nuka Colas and rare variants of them too and half the food in the fridge. They don't take anything but food and drinks from what I can tell though.

A lot of the containers in New Vegas are set to respawn instead of remain permanent in the world. Thus, anything stored in them will disappear when they "respawn"

Containers inside player houses do not do this. I can't confirm whether or not it actually works, but this seems to work so far: Move any food/drink from the fridge or nuka cola machine into footlockers or other containers. Companions seem to leave those containers alone.

The workbench containers are glitched, every time I have ever stored anything inside it disappears. Confirmed on the wiki.

My friend had this problem w/ Boone.

Boone took the unique minigun.
Boone took the unique BB Gun from the W.W. Perk.
Boone took 17 sets of power armor from the brotherhood.
Boone took 17 Gauss Rifles from the same dead brotherhood.
Boone got scentenced to death after this was discovered by my friend.

Cass ate the Caravan Meals I had been saving for desperate times. She then complained that she was thirsty after wandering around the Wasteland.

Now I keep my good stuff on me and let her carry the loot. She can't eat Raider Armor.

Weird, I've not lost anything from the workbench storage I purchased.
