Ok, so.. I lost Codswroth now, any clues on how to find him? I'v searches all the settlements i use AND Sanctuary and he's nowhere to be found. I think i have lost ALL of them at one point at least, except cait, because i don't use her. But, between the conversation bugs with some of the other ones and them randomly vanishing into thin air, I seriously hope Bethesda can work on this.. Mainly the companions, and traders, AND settlers vanishing. I can kind of deal with the conversation bugs, but them vanishing is getting on my nerves just a wee bit...

Also, if anyone knows a way to get him back, it'd be greatly appreciated

Ouch, that's rough. Is this a common problem? I ask because it hasn't happened to my companions, only the lvl 4 vendors.

Pretty common, Very annoying.. I lost the clothing vender, anne or whatever her name was, and Rylee and i'm not even going to find theother ones until a patch comes out. I pretty much play without a companion anymore because i know that if i do, when i dismiss them or switch them out theres a chance they'll just randomly vanish to never be seen again
