1, constantly having to go back and figure out where he got stuck this time.
2. when I enter a place to have a look-see, he always gets in the way when I want to get out again.
3. almost the same as above, we often get stuck when we are both trying to go through a tight place at the same time.
4, When I turn around suddenly, I'm staring directly at his crotch: makes me feel ghey.
5. I'm loosing my caution: (with the exception of 1., above, ) I know he will take out watever bad guys I don't see right away.
6. competing with him for the kill, and the XPs that go with that.
7, imagining that he's thinking "why's this dumb SOB taking so much time doing this?"
8, the fear that at some point I will accidentally click on the "you're fired, stop following me" menu choice.
....

I just hate that it sounds like you're being followed by a tank. The clanking drives me crazyyyyy hahaha.

The never ending chant of TIME TO DIE!!!
That gets really old, really fast.

I hate it when he's really effective.

:jammasterjay:

Triple post, there, Elvis, you must really hate it! Hehe.

9. The fact that he will randomly freak out and kill all your followers and then try to kill you. On more than one occasion..... :stare: which is why I never take Fawkes anymore.

He randomly freaked out and tried to kill you? I need to hear this story. Please? *puppy dog eyes*

Gather round, and hear my tale of woe....

Once upon a time there was a good guy, who tried to do good things, because it felt right in his heart. He gathered a bunch of followers who also believed in doing the right thing.
The almighty Fawkes, The Strong, Silent Charon, Clover, who kinda grumbled the whole time, and briefly RL-3, who got stuck in a rock right after purchase, and died at the hands of a Deathclaw.
We found a kid who needed armed escort to Big Town, where they eat bullets and sand all day long. The right thing was to help him, besides, we were heading in that direction anyway. (Note: with so many followers, have them wait OUTSIDE your home. Unless you don't mind all your displays and trophies to explode all over the place. This was also a previous character to the hardcoe mode that my current character is playing now.)
During the journey, with no enemies in sight, I hear a scream from behind me from Fawkes. He opens up with the Gatling Laser, and takes off Sticky's head. Which burned me up because the party hat looks great on him. Fawkes then kills Charon, then switches to a Super Sledge and owns Clover, switches back and starts shooting at me. So I nuka naded him. 100 in Explosives, all three levels of the Explosive Perk, can't remember the name atm, and it took all 6 Nuka Nades I was carrying.
Then I reloaded.
Then we started heading east, and I hear a scream and guess what? The only variation was Fawkes' kill order this time. And I switched to a Missile Launcher and free-handed 15 rockets at him, 100 Big Guns.
Then I reloaded.
Then we started walking again, except this time I played sheep dog, by running around the gaggle and having Fawkes by my side and the others flanking.
Then Sticky screamed....
So I transferred all Fawkes' gear to everyone else and fired his green ass on the spot. I didn't look back as we kept walking. Good riddance.

The only commonality was that each time Fawkes would freak out about 10 minutes from my previous save. And, it happened once on a previous character, when Fawkes killed Star Paladin Cross then started shooting at me. 360.
Thus endeth my Fawkes tale.

Wow, just wow. Poor Sticky. Good riddance to the big green lug. From now on, I refuse to ever hire him as a bodyguard as a show of solidarity

The irresistible urge to take his awesome super sledge

:spotted owl:
Thanks. I've found too, that sometimes he gets stuck in doorways inside... it makes for a frustrating, damage-taking firefight. I like Sticky. There, I said it out loud. I try to keep him alive. I like hearing his stories, getting annoyed, saving, then killing him, then reloading. It's theraqeutic. Now Fawkes has ruined that forever.

See? He is just faking his gentle giant attitude to get out of his cell.
Fawkes is an abomination that must be purged or sealed in a can. That's why I either ignore him or gas him in his cell :nod:

Yes, the doorway thing became evident when I took him with me to storm the Capitol Building and it ended up being mostly me against...everything

The first time I played Broken Steel, I went to Rockland Tunnel with Fawkes and Charon. I ducked in that little room on the right with the soldiers inside. One of the BoS tin cans followed me. Charon followed me. Fawkes followed me. All of us crammed into that tiny little room. I managed to push, pull and punch the others through the doorway but Fawkes' big ass got stuck and trapped me forever :angry:

I like Sticky too. He's the only good part of Lamplight. His stories make me laugh.



Alright alright, you were right! I can't bring myself to gas him so I'll just ignore him.
