NPC companion extremely stuck

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:27 pm

I have Veronica as companion and this is the problem. After the fight in the hub between the brotherhood of steel and the apocalipse scientists, me and Veronica were attacked by those guys (the brotherhood) because she left the brotherhoord. After the fight i gave the armors to Veronica (because it was too much weight for me and she can use the armors), and after that, she got stuck forever. I tried the following.

- Drop her out of my group and pick her again at the 188, it didn't work, she doesn't follow me when i run far from her.
- Use commands to remove her from the game and enable her again, it doesn't work, she talks to you twice and it doesn't matter if you tell here Wait in the first conversation and then Follow me. Nor using the wheel.
- I tried to reset her by resurrecting her again. It doesn't work, she doesn't follow you.
- I tried to use the wheel on her to tell her to wait and follow me, doesn't work.
- I tried the fast travelling and getting into buildings. She doesn't appear.

How can I force her to follow me via command console?

PS: However, if i tell her to move away a few meters, she does it, so she isn't stuck to the ground, she simply forgot how to follow (like Peter Griffin when he forgot how to sit)

Is she over encumbered or something?

No, i tried to leave nothing on her inventory, and she didn't move

PS: And it seems that the NPC companions doesn't have weight limits on their inventories

try this....

editor (~)

type each of the following and hit enter after each. make sure you clicked on the npc

kill
resurrect
disable
enable


Sometimes this resets the npc back to norm. Also, make sure you click on the npc.

good luck

As I said, I tried that. But it doesn't work. I did it with command Prid [NPC_ID] to target Veronica. I used "enable" to make her disapear and "enable" again to make her appear again. I couldn't kill her, the command doesn't work, but if i write "resurrect" while she is alive, she is reseted. But nothing works.

I had a similar issue with Veronica. I dropped her from the party then asked her to join me again. When she returned to my control she has been working fine.

Okay, try this:

set essential e32aa 0 [Base_ID]
prid 32a9 (or click on Veronica) [Ref_ID]
Kill
Resurrect
Disable
Enable
Set essential e32aa 1

If that doesn't do it probably nothing will. Oh, she will lose her inventory (she probably did already) so go back to a savegame before you tried your enable routine.

I have the exact same problem, only that I convinced her to stay with the brotherhood rather than leave. After the battle is over and she talks to me, she stops following. If I dismiss her and re-recruit her again, she initiates dialog again after the first conversation ends. I tried killing her and resurrecting her (on hardcoe mode), disabling and enabling. Nothing is working. I even dismissed her and let her walk all the way back to the 188, met her there and re-recruited her with no change in her behavior.

I honestly think this particular bug is related to the latest patch. Here's a list of specifics:

She won't follow while under your control
She will walk back to the 188 if you dismiss her
She will move if you tell her to back up
If recruited again, she initiates a second conversation after the first one ends
She will come with if she's a follower and you fast travel, but won't zone through doors (has to be because of the patch considering the newest patch notes)

I'm really pretty annoyed at this, because I was just about to take her with me on the quest Eyesight to the Blind. I've gotten Boone's quest done and wanted to give Veronica a shot, but now I can't even if I want to because her AI package is totally FUBAR.

It's the same that is happening to me, but in my case she doesn't do the fast travel. If I go to anywhere using the map, she won't appear beside me.

I found a fix that worked for me finally. On Nexus there's a mod called "Veronica Endquest Fixer". Adds a consumable item to use after she gets bugged. Popped that pill and she's good as new. I also downloaded another one that fixes the bug with her not leveling with you, so now she can take a few more hits before dying a tragic death (First time I had her die she ran in front of my sniper rifle while I had 3 shots queued in VATS), don't recall the name off the top of my head though, just do a search of "Veronica" and you'll find it easily enough.

As many little bugs as I've run into, this was the most critical (only had a couple crashes) so far. I'm glad it had a fix at all.

IT WORKS!!!!!1111

I had to wait a little and walk around the room at the Apocalipse's outpost but then the item was added to my inventory. I used it and it didn't work inmediately, so I sent Veronica back to the 188 trade post. Then I asked her to follow me and she did it. IT WORKS

PS: I'm going to deactivate the mod, it should work fine so if it doesn't work after being uninstalled I'll come back to this forum to post it. If I don't post again, the problem is solved.


Thank you so much
