Forum:Resurrection: Follower NPCs

When my Sergeant RL-3 died after being torn apart (not literally) by some Super Mutant Masters, I used (`) to ressurect him and it worked, or so I thought. He followed me around and all and fought, but the talk window was gone and didn't work so I couldn't get to the items I had left in him. I loaded the save I made before I went to the fight and he was alive and fine again. On my game he is in my house at Megaton and waiting untill I am done in the DC Ruins. My question is, "Is there a special code to resurrect followers so they will work?"

♠ I tried resurrecting Star Paladin Cross and she was fine, to be honest. But if resurrection does get screwy for you, I have a much simpler solution: Set your follower/s to essential. That way they simply lose consciousness instead of dying and get up after a fight with no permanent damage. Hope that helps. Cheers! Magnum101 14:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. That will definitely work, but I do not know the code to do so. Could you please post it or re-direct me?

♠ The code is the following (without the quotation marks, of course) "Setessential  1", where  is the Base ID number of the follower you wish to make essential. Go to the follower's page on this wiki and get the BaseID number (remember, BaseID, not the RefID). That should do it. As an example, if you wish to make Sergeant RL-3 essential, just type in "setessential 9426e 1". Hope that helps. Cheers! Magnum101 08:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
