Preston Garvey constantly falling down

Post » Sat Nov 28, 2015 7:20 am

Preston randomly falls down and sits there with no available interaction for up to a minute at a time. Happens during dialogue and while he is just roaming, both while a companion and while he is on his own.

While at the same settlement I can watch him for a minute or two and will see him fall at least once. He stays on the ground like he is injured and waiting for a stimpak during combat but that is not the case, with nothing going on anywhere near him it still happens.

If it happens during dialogue the conversation is cut short, dialogue disappears and the conversation has to be restarted up to a minute later after he stands back up.

It was funny the first few times I saw it because the animation is pretty realistic like someone tripped over their own feet and slammed down on their ass. But when it interupts dialogue and combat and keeps occuring frequently it gets annoying quick.

Has been happening for near 20 hours now. Started happening around lvl 10-12, still happening at lvl 26.

None of the other companion NPCs have this problem.

I've seen him do this while I was talking to him in the small river near Sanctuary (don't know why he was in there though). At the time I thought it was because he was being irradiated by the water. But you say he does this all the time?

every 2-3 minutes.

it is the same animation as when in combat and HP is depleted. trips, hits the ground full on his back, then sits up with legs semi stretched out.

looks so goofy when i'm doing something around the settlement and then out of the corner of my vision seeing him just flop off in the distance.

is there a console command to refill/reset companion health?

this injured animation happening over and over leads me to believe Garvey is stuck at low health without regenerating.

had already added it to the bug report list. that "report #1" was made by me.

so no, there is no "heal companion" console command to try and fix this?
