Problem with my companions

Post » Thu Aug 05, 2010 2:56 am

OOOOkkk so I"m trying to get Cass to come along with me to the Van Graffs, and when I tried to get her to come with me she said I had one to many people already with me. Ok I thought let's just go back to Novac and send ED-E back home. So I did this, and I thought I still had Boon as a companion, but I checked and he wasn't. So then I went back. She said the same [censored], and now when I try to get any other companion they all say that I already have to many people with me even though I have no one right now!

So what is going on? Can someone help me..

ED-E is a non humanoid companion like Rex, they count as their own special slot.

You can only take one Human / humanoid companion, you'll need to kick Boone out.

So that's...

Human companion one in total ( Lily, Boone, Veronica, Raul, Arcade ).

And one non human ( Rex or ED-E ).

One of which in each grouping can be in your party but no more, you have to free up a proper slot to recruit another.

Sometimes companions bug out and disappear - or get stuck in a rock and you don't notice until a long time later that they're missing ... or whatever else ... meaning they're not visibly following/helping you but the game still says they are.

So if something like that has happened to Boone, you're going to have to find him/make him reappear, in order to fire him, so you can hire Cass. Save/reload, see if he shows up. Try fast travelling to another place and waiting a few/several days and see if he shows up or goes back to Novac on his own. If you're on patch 1.2, look on the maps and see if you can see his name labeled anywhere on them.

See but I thought this too. That is why I went to his room where he was.. then I kicked him then tried to get him back and kick him again to try and make sure I didn't have to redo it again to reset it. But when I went to have him come back with me hes like no you already have someone with you, and thats when I was like WTF because he has been my only human companion so far. Well that and Veronica... which hmmm now that I'm thinking about it maybe I still have her as my companion, but I was pretty I got rid of her too.

Let's say that I did get rid of Veronica. Something is messed up then, so what should I do?

So, Boone is in Novac, you can see him, and you kicked him out etc....in that case...hm...yes, probably something messed up with Veronica, but it's odd that the game would allow you to hire/rehire Boone after firing Veronica, if Veronica was somehow bugging out. You can go back to the 188 post and see if she's back to standing in her 'spot'.

I don't have any suggestions other than what I already said. If you can't see them to talk to them, and they don't show up on the map for you to try and find them, or they're both visible and fired but Cass is still insisting you have someone, you're kind of stuck, beyond loading an older save.

Maybe someone else has an idea ... dunno, good luck. :/

Edit: If you're on PC, there might be a console command that could work, but I don't know which one/if any. I've never had this issue myself, only read a lot of posts from people who have.

Sorry I miss read your original post.
I apologise for leaping the guns, and not helping.

Have you checked your world map in the pip boy?

See if any companions are still placed as way point markers, if so you now where they are and can kick them.

I've checked the wiki but it has no info on this.

If you're on the PC I can post back here a few console commands that may help.

Hmm some console commands would be sweet. I never upgraded my game so I can't see them on the pipboy. I don't have the interwebz at home :/

Try this for Veronica...

Try

player. moveto 000e32a9 1

This will place you right next to veronica ( hopefully ). so you can check to see if she's still a companion.

If not I'll look for some more to see if there's something else.

Edit: just in case you don't know how to open the console, you press the key above tab and to the left of 1.

Can you provide the console command to move next to ED-E.? I can see him on the world map but when I go to the site, He's not visible and does not make himself known. I've tried the fast travel method with no change. I lost track of him at the Vault 22.Thanks for any help.
