problem with stuck companions

Post by pro5 »

Hi, I have an unexpected problem with Fallout 2.

I have played a while and reached xp level 7, and I currently have 4 companions travelling with me (Vic, Sulik, Cassedy and Lenny). I was in Modoc and the problem happened while I was doing the "protect brahmin herd from wild dogs" job. After I killed all dogs and ended the combat my companions are stuck in one place and won't move. :(

I've tried changing their "distance" through dialog, leaving the area, resting... nothing seems to help. They move/follow me only if I start combat nearby.

I wonder if it's a known problem or not? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know the problem, but my first thought is trying to leave the area in combat mode.

Sounds like a bug or glitch, could be because of multi-patching.

Try re-installing.
Equalization is good.
Payback isnt.

I have the exact same problem, also happened in Modoc. Tried all the same stuff as pro5 did, also tried re-installing the game but that did not help, tried leaving the area in combat mode, no luck. They still wont move... Has anyone seen this and have a solution??

Cheers!

No, I haven't. It's a minor quest though. If patches don't fix this for you, you really won't miss out on anything by leaving it alone. Or next time just save before you enter that quest, see if it happens again. It seems like a very uncommon bug.

well, all I can say is that happened to me once too..! but there's been such a long time that I can't remember where it happened (I don't think it was on Modoc), anyway, I also think that I could solve it.. by leaving the area in combat mode, but since you told us that didn't work, then I don't know what to do.. I'm afraid you just lost a Lvl 7 char, or all your companions (which in fact, only cassedy worths your time.. :P )
