I suppose a good place to start is the beginning. A small while back my current game started crashing whenever I entered Rivet City Market, and sometimes just when I look at any door that enters it. Not for saves on other run throughs just the one I'm playing right now. It didn't matter to me too much because I had finished all quests and side quests that take you in the market. Just a bit disappointed to lose access to the traders there but I was too far along in my game to stop.

Anyway, I've just been playing, wandering mostly, and fast travelled to Jury Street Metro Station. I had a quick look along the horizon for deathclaws and such, only to see a Lucky Harith's Brahmin bolting across the screen. I gave chase looking for lucky because I thought he may be under attack and I didn't want to lose more traders (especially seen as I had invested in him). He was no where. So I followed the Brahmin a little until it started being shot by 3 Talon geasers. Then Shrapnel turns up (I thought I killed him after I enslaved Flak), starts firing at the Talon. Fawkes blows up a car trying to kill the Brahmin, which is now hostile, and all the Talon die. I'm left with Dogmeat and Shrapnel finishing off the Brahmin.

Shrapnel is none hostile so I speak to him, he tells me about his and Flak's shop, and then I aks him "Is there anywhere I can get a drink on this tub?". Being that I'm in the wasteland a small distance west of the Jury Street Metro Station I find this quite odd. Have I missed a trick here or has my game gone Rogue? :cold:

I'm following Shrapnel now, he's headed North-East. No idea where he's going... Paradise Falls maybe? And Where is Lucky? :shrug: I'm a bit puddled.

Shrapnel can't be killed, he just falls unconcious, he'll get back up a couple of seconds after you 'kill' him. If you enslave Flak, he wanders around the wasteland looking for him forever. He doesn't go anywhere in particular.

He can't die? you've just spoilt my day. ...However it could be unlimited xp though, so there is a silver lining.

Hahaha! Sorry XD Yeah, stick around and he'll shoot you when he gets back up. :')

The reason he's wandering is he usually does it once you enslave Flak, and he goes on an unending quest to find him.

Or maybe you just got a bug this time. Both answers apply.

I still wonder what happened to Lucky though, I need access to his quality merchandise, especially seen as I haven't even traded with him since I invested 7-800 caps, or whatever, in his stock. I want my free Mini-Nuke!!! :swear: Without him the only caravan merchant left is Crow, :thumbsdown: and he's pants. (no pun intended there)

I guess the moral of the story is - killing people just to loot them doesn't pay. :grad:


Edit: typo.

It's possible Lucky is stuck on a rock somewhere but he's probably been killed.

This is proof that they both loved each other so much, And not just as friends.
Why would a friend search a mutant/Raider-infested Wasteland searching for the other friend who's probably dead?

:rofl:

Good thinking Batman :tops:



Are you saying they take care of each others...mmm, how shall I put this?... Each others arsenals? :hehe:

Why else would he go back for Flak?

Maybe Flak had the key to lock-up the safe or something.... but I do like your explanation, lets go with that. :foodndrink:

:blink: Well, I've been convinced. :clap:

I always reverse pickpocket power armour onto the travelling merchants to give them a little extra protection.

Apparently this is caused by enslaving Flak and a bit of AI coding for Shrapnel stating that he sleeps next to Flak. Read into tha twhat you will : )

Omfg I can't top laughing l0l. you just made my day

i enslaved flak and i was trying to help him so i got his collar off he ran got owned by a slaver with his mini gun and now i have no clur where to get good weapons so now im in trubble

well shrapnel appears somewhere evry once in a while and he still sells hes like an invuncable lucky harith but its pretty random
