I've got one, sadly he is currently dead in what may or may not be a bug with a certain reno family attacking him (will do more testing on that)  The one thing I dislike about him was his main skill is throwing.

one of my friends found follower with and used P90 :).

But yeah I got one right now, the thing is, once you get tent or hotel or base, you must tell him in dialogue to meet you some place before he dies (afaik i only lost in encounter he never died before).

And yes, most of them all use throwing knives.  But mine is fucking kickass with his so I dont see the problem  :D



(afterall, they can obviously use melee too, and they level up, and aren't ever perm-dead if you do it correctly.  So level him up some and he can use BG or SG in no time  8) )

they spawn randomly.  so good luck.  But it's not that hard, just do your business and every once in while check out the bar you will find one eventually.

Okay, follower died by 2 radscorpions in 5 seconds with metal armor on. (i know he had more about 100 HP, and I myself experienced poison is extremely overpowered O.o)

I waited 5 minutes for him to respawn.  he did not.  I got myself killed, and i am at hotel, and he is still not there. so wtf?

Strange I was poisoned myself too but didn't die so fast like you said. The poisoning dissapeared in about 1 minute or less.

They should be respawning, obviously still needs fixing :(

Poison is the same as ever, it seems like you die instantly, but its really you reaching some upper threshold after which you get a massive lump of damage.

No, it is different.  The potency in rad-scorpions has been tripled and the poison after only maybe 3 stings hits you every 2 seconds for a minute it's crazy  :P

Hm, I don't know who would have been playing with poison apart from me. I know I changed nothing.

I shall investigate.

Can you find companions in ALL cities?  even unguarded ones?   OR JUST guarded towns.

If you don't have CH or enough Party Points to recruit companion, will he still give you dialogue about joining you, so when I meet some companion accidently with an alt, I will be able to relog to my main and recruit him?

Is it intentional that to get stuff back that you have given to followers (ghoul mercs in this case) you have to trade with them for equal value? Im trying to get back the weapons in their inventory and they are telling me my offer is not good enough.

@spears:  No that is not supposed to be the case.

Update on their respawn:  They DO respawn!!  They simply do not respawn at hotel rooms. (dont know about bases)  But I finally got a tent, and they respawn there.  so leader guys, when u get Companion, make sure to have a tent.

another update......  sad one indeed.

One of my companions, I took out to go slaving with me, she is killed by friendly fire from stupid friend player :)

Ok, I check my pps, she is still mine, I see 140/193.  I have both still.

So I start slaving whatevers around.  I got 4 slaves.  I check my pps.

4070/193               !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It Disbanded my death bloody companion!!!!!!!  FOR SLAVING!!! Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

A little event where I found myself a follower in NCR.

So there you are.


Btw, companions count as mercs, so they help gather more slaves.  (though I wouldnt, cus of a certain bug where they may be deleted cus of it).

Only the scorpions in the Junktown quest, as these are a different type (Black Claw Radscorpion). They all use the small scorpion graphic and are highly venomous.

If your refering to the one in the Hub, I am very certain that once they have a name they are already someone elses and someone is choosing to troll with it in the bar.
