Help with RL-3

Post » Sat May 22, 2010 9:13 pm

Hello! Well I don't know if I'm writing this in the right place but. Well I just started playing fallout 3 again, after playing NV. It wasn't as good as Fallout 3 according to me, so I went back... ANYWAYS

I recruited Sergeant RL-3 in the beginning of the game, he followed me around til level 10 when I was gonna do Tranquility Lane. I went into the simulation, exited when done. I'm not sure if he was there when I got out but I think so. Anyways, I talked to my dad ran out and traveled to Rivet City, and then I realise.. He's not with me? So I waited 24 hours, and went back.. He wasn't there. Then I thought oh well, went to recruit Star Paladin Cross. But no "You have a companion already".. So I went to Canterbury Commons to pick him up if he was there.. Which he was not.. Can somebody help?! Is there anyway to find him/get rid of him?

First off, glad to see im not the only one who thought this... :foodndrink:

As for your question, I think there are quite a few problems and glitches that have been associated with tranquility lane and companions so my guess is that RL-3 is off in limbo somewhere (which is what has happened to me a few times with other followers) my best advice would be to wait quite a while (like up to a week in-game) and see if he either shows up or a message pops up and says "RL-3 is at canterbury commons". I would also check back at Vault 112 and make sure he's not stuck somewhere in there.

Edit: also if you have a pc version of the game you could use console commands to get him back, but im assuming you dont

I actually played new vegas enjoyed it, it was ok. but didn't give me the same feel.. + Fallout 3 looks so desolate and like post apocalyptic whilst New Vegas just looks like any other desert, according to me :D (and I miss Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave to much) Even though they appear a little bit in NV

And yes I do play fallout on my computer so I guess I could solve it with that. Although I didn't know where to find anything like that.. I'll try to wait some more aswell :) Thanks for the fast answer!

this is how you would bring him to you via the console (if he is still there to be brought)

1. first bring up the console with the ~ key

2. then type in: moveto player 94285 and it should bring RL-3 to you (although sometimes the console can be tricky).

Line 1: Function 'Move To Marker' requires a reference is what it tells me :3

¨Well never mind, I got him to return to Canterbury Commons by waiting. Thanks for the help! :)

I was equally dissapointed with Vegas when comparing it to FO3, I'm still playing Vegas for now though :)

I've had similar problems with him, he disapeared and i couldn't find him (I think after doing Mothership Zeta for me). My theory, I don't know if this right or might be way off is that he start to make his way towards my location, but becasue I kept on fast travelling all over the place he finally caught me up about 5 level ups later. I was between waste disposal site and Old Olney at the time and I nearly shot him up becasue I was fighting other mr gutsy's at the time but just noticed the blip was green in time!
