Chuck Norris and Fawkes
Fawkes' un-godly combat ability is obviously a referance to Chuck Norris. Fawkes Norris, maybe? I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say "NO".--Clean Up 01:16, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

lol, I can see the similarities. --Thq95 11:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

If Fawks had a kick attack and could wear a cowboy hat, then yes, he would be... Fawkes Norris


 * The Bogeyman checks his closet at night for Fawkes. MaseFace 13:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Why is everyone so friggen obsessed with Chuck Norris, i mean jesus he's just an actor big woop. People dont get that estatic about other actors. Mister Cee 93 13:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Super Sledge theivery
I took his super sledge well I was in vault 87... I think it killed him, I can't find him at all any more, I had to get the damned GECK myself, and he seems to have completely dissapeared, I was playing PC when this happened, but I confirmed it in the 360 version too, I even used the clipping cheat to searh in the walls of the vault I think taking his only weapon somehow breaks his AI.


 * I took his Super Sledge and nothing happened. I still get to enjoy kicking ass with him, so must be some kinda PC/Xbox 360 glitch/bug cause it didnt happen for me on the PS3. Mister Cee 93 13:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

General
To whom it may concern:

I have gotten Fawkes to equip a Flamer by providing both the Flamer and its ammunition. -a User

Indeed, I have managed to get him to use grenades as well. Hes quite effective with them --206.223.233.159 08:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone confirm whether Fawkes loses his Vault 87 inventory when you get him again? I gave him the tenderizer and a mini gun, plus left "Fawkes's Super Sledge" with him. When I met up with him again, all the extra stuff was gone. Maybe put down a note in Fawkes' page to take the hammer from him the first time. Phiinix 00:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe he does. When Fawkes died (as I stated above), his corpse was found to be Empty.


 * Fakwes can equip any weapon as long as it is not broken and has ammuniton. After you escape Raven Rock his (special) Super Sledge disappears from his inventory and you cannot take it from him. Another note, Fawkes main weapons are a Gattling Laser and Fakwes Super Sledge (unless you give him something else).  Wether or not Fawkes is a male or female is currently unknown...  --Grey-Fox13 03:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes is asexual. Read the terminals in Vault 67. She used to be female before being exposed to the FEV virus, but turned asexual like every other female subject. Sigh. . . . .Fawkes is a guy before mutation, Bethsada admited that, In the terminals its refering to that guys and girld when exposed are turned asexual, but fawkes was always a male before exposure.

Death
has anyone ever seen him die? I don't know if he can. i took him to GNR after beating the MQ up the point where I have to clear PP with Sara. I skipped going to GNR before and went to rivet city, sadly missing out on Three Dog's quest...and achievement. either way- the supermutant behemoth pounded away at him, sending him flying every which way, and he barely had a scratch on him- this is when the thing killed me in like 4 hits as lvl 19. it was odd, but at least it was a damn good distraction.

I have seen Fawkes die. This was in a (spoiler) battle between the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave near one of Fallout 3's ends. I believe Fawkes can either survive or die in this instance. Z4xx0r 00:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Fawkes can die. No (permanant) Companions are invincible.  They seem to regain their HP after winning a fight --Grey-Fox13 22:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

He can die, although he is the toughest companion. He can easily survive a direct hit from a Fatman and often it doesn't damage him enough for him to turn hostile. A shot from the experimental MIRV should kill him (most possibly along with you and everyone around the two of ya) but none of the Wasteland creatures seemed to faze him (at least without any DLCs).

lol put a grenade in his pocket(anytype of nade) that will instantly kill hit :P i do it alll the time when im bored XDD --Axalot 00:21 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Crap my copy doesn't let me reverse pickpocket Fawkes, or pickpocket for that matter.

V an antihero?
I don't think V is meant to be an antihero since he frees England from fascism ... I changed him to be a hero, if anyone thinks this is not right change back giving a good reason ty 85.176.86.223 21:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Technically, the classification of Antihero/Hero has just changed over time. Batman used to be considered an anti-hero, after all. I doubt any of us really care, though. --DarkJeff 10:36, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Although his goals are ultimately good ( freeing England ) his means are not. He's a terrorist, tortures Evy to « free her from her fears », and purposely sends Fawkes masks everywhere in the hopes that innocents will be killed by the militia so as to provoke an uprising, to cite a few. Definitely NOT a hero. V is just a Vindicative and Violent Vigilante on a Vengeance trip. :) -- Orme 16:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Before comic book dorks decided the word belonged to them, antihero meant someone who is unheroic in the way the protagonist of Kafka's The Trial is, not a "bad boy" hero. Hope this helps. &mdash;Chaos5023 17:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That's why I deem V at best a byronic hero, at worst a vigilante. -- Orme 18:19, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Gender
Discussion archived at /Gender. Question of gender resolved by Bethesdas Community Manager. Fawkes is and was Male. Bsdasym 16:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Wow. That's sort of a blunder on the part of the voice actor, the voice producer, and other employees. I guess now I can't caption Fawkes' photo "Fawkes-y Lady". Tour86rocker 09:29, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to guess the voice thing is a bug/glitch I've always only had it use the default Super Mutant voice for me.

If you target Fawkes with the console and use the sexchange command, your character will be affected instead of Fawkes. --Ripvanwinkle111 23:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

GNR no achievement
Even if you went to Rivet City and spoke to doctor Li to finish "Following in his Footsteps," you can still go to GNR and talk to Three-Dog and start the main quest "Galaxy News Radio." In my experience, after I talked to him, I got the achievement Following in his Footsteps. Weird. PS If you learned about your Dad in Rivet City and talk to Three-Dog, his old reward (telling you where your Dad is) is now unimportant. If you complete "Galaxy News Radio," he will give you his cache key instead of telling you where your father is.

His cache is located in Hamilton's Hideaway [5.03] The contents are First Aid Box Health and Chems (3) Ammo Box Ammunition (7) Stealth Boy Frag Grenades (4) Guns and Bullets (Skill Book) Assault Rifle Mini-Nuke

And not least of all, completing the GNR quest boosts reception of Three Dog's station across the entire Wasteland. --Phiont 04:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Outcasts
Since getting Fawkes in my party, all Brotherhood Outcasts are now hostile. Can anybody confirm that Fawkes and Outcasts don't mix? 71.64.203.118 03:39, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have taken Fawkes to Ft. Independence (Outcast HQ) and he is fine with them; haven't encountered any of the roaming outcasts since I picked him up though, so maybe they behave differently?

The outcasts are fine with fawkes for me; however all the scavengers tell me to "GET AWAY" before shooting me and subsequenty having their heads exploded.

I had no problems with Fawkes and the Outcasts or scavengers, they just make their mean remarks like they always do. Hostility with Fawkes and some groups is determined what your karma is and if you had made good relationship with them or they might not trust you enough to let a Super Mutant like Fawkes just walk right in their base or territory.(Him following you just makes it look like your siding with the mutants)

the hulk
Fawkes looks like an old version of the hulk (when hulk actually looked semi-human), especially givven the riped clothes. 69.140.165.218 11:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * All super mutants are Hulk references, not just Fawkes. &mdash;Chaos5023 21:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Fawkes is a damned thief!
When you first let Fawkes out of his cell you have the option to trade equipment with him, if you don't take it all back before he gets the G.E.C.K. for you the option is disabled and he keeps all your stuff! I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else or maybe if the game automatically gives your stuff back to you when the option is disabled and I didn't notice otherwise I would add it to the bug section.

P.S. sorry about the edit I just made, the opening to the article DOES state Fawkes is male so I change all "Her/She' to "Him/He" I would revert it back now that it's been made clear in the talk page Fawkes is male but I don't know how to revert. 64.114.170.101 06:37, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thats something that happens to everone. Mabye he needed to drop the stuff to be able to get the G.E.C.K. Thats why if you want his sledgehammer you need to take it when you first see him.

kill fawkes with the computer next to his door?
back in the vault there s a computer right next to his door. hacking into it(hard) will give you the option to terminate him.(karma loss) you cannot open the door that way tho. anyways, the quest does not fail.

- because you can get the G.E.C.K. yourself and thus complete the quest without Fawkes 80.7.167.105 22:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Ryno

Stats
I got the stats in-game using the console, they match the ones listed on this page. Given there are discrepancies with other characters, it is a good idea to verify, especially at level low. --Voidvector 16:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Quotes
Since I can't edit on the actual page, I'll do it here. "Be aware of our surroundings." - Random "Our steps must be measured." - Random These aren't random; They're when there are traps or mines and such nearby.


 * That is definately wrong, I've had Fawkes say both of those in places such as Megaton, Rivet City, and other safe areas.--99.184.21.230 17:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * He also says "Though it may seem safe for the moment, it is fleeting" while we travel the Capital Wasteland but that quote never makes sense to me and it wasnt mentioned in the article. Mister Cee 93 13:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Vault suit
Any thoughts on why Fawkes's torn vault suit remnants are gray while all other known vault suits, AFAIK, are blue? &mdash;Chaos5023 02:17, 16 December 2008 (UTC) My guess is that the colour got washed out becuse of the rapid growth and how long he/she had been in there.
 * I think she needs a bath. ;)
 * Do we know that it's a vault 87 suit for certain? That suit could be dipped and lost its color that way. --DarkJeff 16:06, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, its a vault 87 jumpsuit. The back number is identical to the style that the vault dweller's has, were the number takes up almost the whole back.

Fawke's health, stims

 * In an experiment to test Fawkes' health, I attempted shooting him with a Fat Man, but only after three direct hits was he killed (my big guns skill was low and the fat man was in poor condition, but that is still very impressive). Also, after fast-traveling to the Deathclaw Sanctuary he was attacked by three deathclaws all within melee range attacking her spontaneously. He dispatched them all easily within a few seconds and took only about a single peg of health illustrated in a health bar in V.A.T.S. It also seems he can rapidly regenerate (even though she takes a negligible amount of health even in the most ridiculous situations). I also lack the option to give him stimpaks. (if this is abnormal, please say so in another section of the Notes section on the Fawkes page)


 * Moved from article. Just one look at it and it looks like a discussion, not a written article, no? Regardless of his performance, there are two things to note that may severely impact your opinion there. First, ALL (permenant) followers regenerate to FULL at the completion of combat. Second, you can only give them stims via dialog IF they are injured. This obviously means when in combat, not out of combat. Otherwise, the normal way to give them stims is toss it in their inventory, and they'll use them if sufficiently injured. --DarkJeff 04:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * There is definitely something up with Fawkes' damage resistance. It's HP is 500, but it can take 3 nukes before death which do at the very least 1000 damage each. Deathclaws do 100 damage per strike, so 3 attacking at the same time would quickly rack up damage way beyond 500. Does the AI use stim packs at a set amount of HP? At the very most Fawkes has 75 medicine skill, so 1 stim pack would not heal Fawkes to even a 5th of the overall HP, yet when followers use stim packs it seems as though their HP tops up after using one. I think I will look into this unless anyone has some answers.Galcoe 05:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I've noticed that too, with Charon. I've accidentally hit him with sneak-criticals before, but he tops up really quickly with stims. --DarkJeff 16:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I was exploring the extreme lower-right corner of the game when I decided to hit Fawks with a few mini-nukes. After 4 direct hits, I pulled out my alien blaster and unloaded about 100 critical hits to his head. After this, I pulled out Eugene and shot around 5000 rounds at his head. I then pulled out a ripper and held it to various parts of his body for at least 2 minutes. After all this, Fawks had lost about 3 health bars.
 * The reason I wasn't killed is because he was in the water a little off the edge, and I was on land. He cannot jump, therefore struggles to get up on land to draw his weapon. My big guns skill is relatively low, near 50, I'm using an xbox 360, Fawks does not have any stimpaks, I'm level 26, I have Broken Steel and The Pitt installed, but otherwise, there are no abnormal factors which may effect his health. His health acts the same when he is land as well. What the hell is going on here?
 * --Lumentecx 02:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Im a level 29 (playing on 360 on hard with broken steel and point lookout. I decided to try to kill fawkes.  I put him in a circle of 5-6 bottlecap mines, a dozen plasma mines, and a dozen or so frag mines, i then proceeded to shoot him twice with the experimental mirv (that's 16 mini-nukes) then i shot him with some more stuff before he murdered me.  he might have lost 1 health bar after all was said and done.  He is invincible for some reason.  Also, i took him along to fight a couple behemoths.  the behemoth in the capitol building wailed on him with the fire hydrant and fawkes just laid there on the ground while being repeatedly beaten but lost no health.  i went over to him and started a dialogue, to which he responded while laying face down on the ground, "you have something to say?". The behemoth only would attack the non-moving fawkes and refused to acknowledge me so i could shoot him in the face while standing right next to him. after i killed the behemoth, fawkes stood up like normal except the gatling laser charge pack had glitched around to the front of his body. the same type of thing happened with dogmeat and a behemoth, niether lost any health.

Skill increase
His skills do not scale by level in my game. It is stuck at 75. --Voidvector 01:56, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Firing Fawkes
What happens if you "fire" Fawkes and tell him to stop hanging out with you? Is there any way to get him back if you change your mind later?
 * Ju Juitsu 15:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, all companions, when fired, will wait for you in a specific location (with any equipment you gave them) until your rehire them Dragonjts 15:30, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

He's in the museum of history, "studying". He says this when you fire him. Paul (Evil) 04:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

This is the most fitting category I could find; After escaping from Raven-Rock, Fawkes was not outside waiting for me, so I consulted the article and went back to Vault 87, again to no avail. Where could I possibly find him?

Above: same problem, but I travelled to the underworld to pick up Charol before talking, then went back and Fawkes was gone. Help, please?

Limited
"Fawkes can be instructed on which weapon to equip (Super Sledge, Gatling laser, non-defualt gun, energy weapons, explosive and even unarmed weapons that Fawkes has ammunition for)"
 * I'd like to know if this line is a lie, if its just me, or just not on the Xbox360. I've given Fawkes every type of weapon and she won't use anything other than her default weapons. There is no dialog option instructing her on which weapon to use, only on melee or ranged. --AshRandom 16:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Followers use the strongest weapon they have available, that you instructed them to use (ranged or melee). The problem with Fawkes is that her default weapon is so strong that she rarely uses anything else. I too am playing on an Xbox, so maybe choosing unarmed is a PC option? I would change it, but I'm unsure if it's any different on the PC. Paul (Evil) 04:26, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you sure about that? How can you know if she won't accept anything. I gave Fawkes a fully repaired Fatman (1610 dmg) and 25 mininukes, she won't equip it, won't equip a 170dmg Missile Launcher, or the 220dmg Miss Launcher, I have even given Fawkes the Vengeance which is the highest dmg Gatling Laser in the game and she won't equip it over her current Gatling Laser. I don't think you can make her use non-default guns, shooting her gun won't damage it or knock it out of her hands so I'm at a loss as to how to force her into using something else (Xbox360). --AshRandom 23:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That may not be exactly how it works, but it's something like that. I'll look around a bit later and see if I can't find exactly how it works.

I can't get him to use anything but his default Gatling Laser. When I tell him to switch to melee he fights barehanded unarmed and thats it (he doesn't have Fawkes Super Sledge and the patch didn't fix this). He will use a regular super sledge or sledgehammer (but not tenderizer) if you give it to him, but so far thats the only thing I've gotten him to equip or use other than his default Gatling Laser.(Xbox360).--Thq95 10:01, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Recently discovered he uses frag grenades as well, if you give them to him. --Thq95 04:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I've gotten him to use frags occasionally, nothing else though. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 05:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I've attempted to equip him with the Shishkebab but he refuses to use it, though he happily used the Super Sledge I gave him. I even tried giving him flamer fuel out of desperation.--Clawcity 02:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I've tried giving him weapons and forcing him to equip them through the console command 'equipitem ' but to no avail. He succesfully equips the weapon but reequips his default gatling laser as soon as battle starts or I switch area. I've tried this with both unique gatling lasers, all possible flamers and even the mighty tesla cannon. This problem vexes me.

When given a fatman or MIRV, and mini-nukes, for me Fawkes will not equip them automatically, but instead, similar to grenades, just randomly in battle decide its time for a boom, and pull them out. I've also noticed that when Fawkes is standing close to a peice of scenery when he fires the fatman (doesnt work with MIRV), that the fired mini-nuke will travel through and actually dislodge peices of the secenery. If that happens to be something like boulders on the ground, it can open holes in the map, ect.--99.184.21.230 17:43, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

When I give Fawkes a sledgehammer he seems to mostly use it in close combat, eg he uses the sledge hammer in buildings or in corridors like when a hostile enemy emerges through a doorway on the left or right of us. So again i seem to have no problems there. Mister Cee 93 13:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes not waiting outside Raven-Rock...
I also went back to Vault 87, but also to no avail. I have positive Karma. What gives?--65.255.69.89 22:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Anonymous
 * Check the museum of history / underworld. That's where Fawkes goes when fired, or if your karma is too low initially.


 * Is she inside or outside Underworld, because I've already checked outside...


 * hey i'm not able to find fawkes after i left raven rock i didn't speack to her but i saw her and i've checked everywhere for her that you all have described but no succes, does he die in the blast if u blow up raven rock, when make eden do it by winning the speach, i really need to know because i want her on my team.....


 * She won't die in the explosion (I've persuaded Eden to blow Raven Rock up as well). If she isn't near the entrance to Underworld I don't know what to tell you.


 * well thanks,oh, and let me know if u find out because i want her on my team becuase the only teammate i have is dogmeat but i keep him at my house to protect my stuff, so i need someone who is strong but will side with a lv. good karma character thats almost or just as strong as her.....


 * I had the same problem - go to raven rock, wait for 24 hours, then go to the museum of history, and go in the front door, but not into underworld. Fawkes should be next to the skeleton of the T-Rex. (this is how i got him to come back anyway) Unfortunately, Fawkes, even though he's now my follower, doesn't actually seem to follow me; He just stands there, but has all the correct dialogue as if he was my follower. =[


 * Stop referring to Fawkes as a "she" and "her". They already said that Fawkes is male. But I somehow always have positive Karma upon leaving Raven Rock even if I was neutral or evil upon entering Vault 87. So i cant help there as i always recruit that good ole green giant. Mister Cee 93 13:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes seems very protective of Dogmeat
(PS3) While working through the glitches to get multiple followers (see Fallout 3 followers), I had Jericho, Clover, and Dogmeat with me. I killed Dogmeat myself in Megaton with a Shishkebab and then fast travelled to Underworld to acquire Charon. On entering the Museum, Fawkes treated me as hostile and attacked with the "MADE ME MAD" dialogue line.

I reloaded and went to the Mall, and ran through a group of Super Mutants so that Dogmeat would fight them and be killed. After Dogmeat was killed by those Super Mutants, Fawkes did not turn hostile on going to Underworld.

Not sure if the act of killing Dogmeat makes Fawkes hostile or if going past a low Karma threshold does it... Needs testing.

VERY Bugged Dialogue
Whenever I talk to Fawkes my game crashes. (Usually I say one thing and the game freezes and/or crashes) The only successful piece of chat we have is when I free him from his cell. Over the intercom, when he is going to say his second line of dialogue, it crashes. After he leads me to the G.E.C.K. chamber I can't talk to him, because my game crashes. At Raven Rock, I have to avoid him, since, the game crashes. (I've managed to avoid him successfully after that though) I'm on the 360, so I haven't meddled with any mods and I've only used the Mister Sandman glitch twice. 69.235.46.104 03:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Can't help you there guy. Fawkes works grand for me. I listened to everything he has to say in conversation at Vault 87. He is one of my two companions and I occasionally use him as a pack mule so the dialogue aint crashing my game, then again I'm using the PS3 and that might be something. It could be the Mister Sandman glitch because when I killed Colin Moriarty with the perk Megaton lost half of the settlers (ie they disappeared). So now I only use it on Rivet City Security in the Bridge Tower so in my opinion it could be because of the Mister Sandman glitch Mister Cee 93 13:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes breaks the game's end
Fawkes being immune to radiation could just go into the radiated room, punch in the code, and everything would be hunky dory...Why it does not give you the option to send him in, completely breaks ending to the the story completely.--66.192.104.13 23:56, 14 January 2009 (UT

Has it ever occured to any of you that his fingers may just simply be TOO BIG?

Originally Sarah Lyons was the only one that was supposed to be with ya at that point. From what I've heard, followers were implemented pretty late in the design process and it was either have an ending that was a little off or cut followers from the game completely. So, I'm glad they kept followers in. They are removing the ending anyways with the DLC Broken Steel. --Thq95 11:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

JOYKILL
fawks is no freakin fun because he always kill people before i even pull out my gun. i already have this game on very hard since the beginning. so if you want this game to be 20 times eaiser, then by all means go hire him. for me, im just letting him wait at my house. anybody with me on subject.--That70sdude 00:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * True, he's a power house, but he's great after level 20, when you can't get experience anymore. Or when you're just sick of having to shoot things (don't say that's not you, trust me, it'll happen around your 5th time going through of the game). [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 03:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

superman
Fawkes is like freakin superman. i went to old olney, there were about 5 deathclaws and they all went for Fawkes. there were kicking his ass so bad. at the end of the fight, i looked at Fawkes and he had only two bars of health are gone. how can you kill this guy. this happend on gameplay settings of very hard.--That70sdude 18:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * How? With headshots. Well, that's how I did it anyway... hehehehehe.... FYI followers usually heal to full after a fight ends. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 01:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

i checked right after the fight and he only had about 2 bar gone. BTW i did know that they heal them self.--That70sdude 18:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

He is killable i did it on very easy. it took me like 60+ shots with the Tesla Cannon. He has survived much much more damage after the B.S. dlc(only losing 5bars after 4 shots of a 25%repaired MIRV or 32 mininukes. Also Dogmeat is comparable to a deathclaw in heath now

I took my most powerfull wepons agianst fawkes i basicially wasted 160 rounds of alien blaster and 11268 of tesla cannon headshots and not even a scratch then i wasted 56 mini-nukes still nothing. he is chuck norris.Lenov 02:08, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

To the person above me thats a lie I killed him with a metal blaster and yeah it took a hell of a long time and ammo but to say you used 56 mini nukes is just a damn lie. --LoneMerc101 13:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I killed him w/o B.S and it was easy. 1 mini nuke, 1 missile and about 50 or so .32 Calibar rounds to the head. Then I tried my gatling laser and killed him using about 400 rounds (most of them were well off target) but against everything else, he is immortal. He must have found the lost Xanadu, walked the caves of ice, dined on honeydew and drank the milk of Paradise (like the lyrics of Xanadu by Rush say. which I presume is the way to become immortal lol) --Mister Cee 93 12:59, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

You extensive testing people are freaks.

Fawkes not updated
I went to Raven Rock, but Fawkes never showed up. I almost finished the game, but I wanted to get Fawkes. SO, I went to Underworld but surprise - no Fawkes! I looked everywhere and ended up doing player.moveto in the console. She was inside the vault still! When I talk to her though, she only has a super-sledge, and she won't use anything else. I have gotten her as my follower, but she's useless, as she only uses the Super-Sledge. Help! 72.171.0.139 21:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Fawkes is a he, not a she, after all. Ausir 21:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope. Look in the computer logs. 67.142.130.40 22:02, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You should pay some more attention. Fawkes is/was a he, and proof of it is included in the article itself. Anyway, for the question, that is weird. I had something similar happen to me where I freed Fawkes, told him to get the G.E.C.K., but went and got it myself before he arrived. After Raven Rock he couldn't be found outside or in the Museum of History, but deep inside Vault 87. He did, however, have the Gatling Laser, and his conversation was, I assume, the same as when you find him outside Raven Rock. It's unlikely, but it might be because I took his Super Sledge by trading equipment before I grabbed the G.E.C.K.--Mehbah 22:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm. Okay, I'll concede. It's a he. I'll try resetting him/her/it, maybe that will fix some things. Reset his quest.

Charisma?
"*Like all prejudices, they can be overcome with Charisma. CH 10 means nobody will bother Fawkes." No one ever 'bothers' Fawkes in my game(and I have 1 CH). Is this bs?

--24.65.129.154 23:11

Fawkes hates bad guys?!
When i was playing and decide to go check Museum of American History, there was fawkes; well that was normal, but should it turn hostile to all who have Bad Karma?I dont know but when i play my other safe games where my karma is neutral or good, he doesnt attack.And when i play my safe game where i'm evil he is always hostile to me?--SURVIOR OF HOLOCAUST 10:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Follow
Fawkes wont follow my he just walks around. Ozzie 1 11:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

On the 360 version Fawkes never bothers me (after completing the main quest so he is just standing around at the entrance to the Underworld). I am very evil, but I can still just walk by him.98.156.98.132 00:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Size issues
I fast traveled to Agatha's House, as soon as Fawkes spawned, I suddenly flew twenty feet in the air. --Nymphonomicon 22:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

V for Vendetta
Just a quick amendment, Guido (or guy) Fawkes was not the leader of the gunpowder plot, Robert Catesby was.

I added a blurb about Fawkes being a V for Vendetta reference because the only way it could have been more blatant is if they'd hired Hugo Weaving to voice him.--VerlocLLJK 08:14, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Not totally clear on the whole Fawkes thing, when in the game does Fawkes state that her name came from the gunpowder plot?
 * Never. It's supposition, possibly an inside joke (cultural reference / easter egg).  There really isn't strong support for the idea, if Fawkes had a different name, there would be no real support for the idea.  The differences between Fawkes and V are much greater than the similarities, and themselves dwarfed by the differences between Fawkes and Guy Fawkes of the gunpowder plot. Bsdasym 17:59, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Then why is it even mentioned on the page? If there's no proof, it should be removed (or at least moved to the talk page).  --MadDawg2552 19:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

There are two proofs, the name, and Fawkes showing up at Ravens Rock. Fawkes the name, relates to the gunpowder plot to blow up an oppressive government office. That correlates to Fawkes showing up at Raven Rock, right when it blows up (unless you botched the mission, of course). With the Enclave playing the role of the 'oppressive government' and Raven's Rock playing the role of the Parliament Building. Only in this case instead of Catholics (Guy Fawkes was one), the Enclave wants to persecute mutants (of which Fawkes is one). Correlates too well to be anything other than a nod. AshRandom (Talk) 19:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean proof from the game, I meant proof from a reliable source, like an interview with a developer. Otherwise you just have a strange coincidence and not a reference to anything.  --MadDawg2552 19:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That kind of proof isn't necessary. According to Ausir: references that flat out use the same name aren't in contention and will remain on the page. It's everything else, the references that only cling by threads, which are considered up for removal. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 20:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This information is already on the Cultural references in Fallout 3 page, meaning having it on any other page is just duplicating information. --MadDawg2552 20:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So what?
 * What do you mean "So what?" What kind of response is that?  I'll tell you "So what."  It's cluttering up the page, it's not adding anything useful, it's already on another page, and I would call it coincidental at best and not a real reference to anything.  --MadDawg2552 20:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Meh, I already spent enough time on this. I don't know what to tell you other than that you can go talk to Ausir directly, I've got my orders from him and even though I don't like it (I'd like to see all references, not just the ones which flat-out use the same name) I'm going to follow them because, well, I promised not to bug him about it anymore honestly.... Anyway you do have something of a point, trivia should be moved to the bottom of the page, after all the important information's been listed. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 20:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's what I'll do then until I hear differently. I'll move references to the bottom, in their own section out of the way.  --MadDawg2552 20:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * So even assuming there is a link between Fawkes and Guy Fawkes, there's definitely nothing linking Fawkes and V for Vendetta that doesn't also link Fawkes to every single other fictional character that references Guy Fawkes. Removed V reference.  Also changed the Guy Fawkes - Fawkes link to a probable link rather than definite.  Might as well say that Butch Deloria is a reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine_Deloria,_Jr. if all you care about is having the same name.  In which case I'm pretty sure RL-3 is a reference to a Quebec tax form, too: http://www.revenu.gouv.qc.ca/eng/formulaires/rl/rl-3-v.asp


 * Sign your posts, Uncle Leo gets the Sienfield reference, and The V for Vendetta has more standing than that, I think it should be listed as a possible reference at least.GodPlageon 15:03, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

About "V For Vendetta".
I hate people editing and deleting information about the similarities between this comics series and Fwakes situation in the game. I even uploaded a page of the comics to make everyone sure, that there's a direct citation of the comics in-game, on the terminal, but still someone deleted it. Even though English is not my native language and what i wrote was not gramatically right, here're one of the earlier edits of this reference and mine as well- "*Fawkes is also a reference to the title character 'V' in the graphic novel / film V for Vendetta. In the graphic novel, 'V' is the sole survivor of a government experiment in which test subjects are exposed to a mutagenic agent intended to give them superhuman strength, endurance, and pain tolerance. 'V' supposedly took his name from the number (5, roman numeral V) of the test chamber in which he was held during the experiment. 'V' is extremely erudite and constantly wears a Guy Fawkes mask. Fawkes is the sole survivor of the FEV experiment, and is imprisoned in Isolation Chamber 05 when found by the player." "*Fawkes' name and condition are obviously a reference to the Guy Fawkes, not as a historical character, but as a character of "V For Vendetta" comic series, a man, called "V", who wears a Guy Fawkes mask and is also injected a mutagen, somehow similiar to the FEV virus. In the book V was stationed in the test cell V as do Fawkes in Fallout 3 (and there're also five of the cells eventually left occupied with two men and three women in the final stage of the experiment in the comics as there're in the game, it can be read in one of the entries at the chief physician terminal).prooflink" Amer MerzZz 04:25, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Way too similar to be just a coencidence.BSMaker 04:31, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The final nail in the coffin is delivered when you ask Fawkes about his name. He says, "It was taken from a historical entry in the computer. The name comes from a man that was willing to fight and die for what he believed in." If that isn't a reference to Guy Fawkes, which intern makes it a reference to the movie V for Vendetta, I don't know what is. Panzer89 06:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe by "historical reference" he was indeed referring to Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, but I'm sure it's more of a reference to the Gunpowder Plot vs a movie or comic book series.But the conditions that he is found in do resemble to movie/comic.Kingclyde 23:47, 10 April 2009 (UTC)kingclyde


 * Please clarify this evidence on the main page so people won't feel the need to delete it. Here, I did it for you:

I know it's long, but you need to justify this where it's brought up. --70.142.41.253 11:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This may also be a reference to the comic book series, V for Vendetta (as well as the 2006 film) about the sole survivor of a government experiment in which test subjects are exposed to a mutagenic agent. ('V' being the 5th subject) Fawkes is the sole survivor of the FEV experiment, found imprisoned in Isolation Chamber 05. Fawkes appears at Raven Rock (home base of his persecutors) just as it's destroyed, correlating to 'V' destroying Parliament Building.

Unable to kill him?
No matter how much I shoot (even tried it on very easy), I can only hit 1 bar of him, then he becomes invincible. I can't cripple him (except for his legs with my Dart Gun), and not even my Fat Man can hit him 1 bar... He's freakin' invincible since I bought Broken Steel. Does this happened with more ppl? - Tedjuh10

Yes i though it was because of a mod, but it must be one of broken steel's bugs.

This happens to me as well! I'm wondering why he won't die! Multiple Alien Blaster shots don't even do anything! A Deathclaw Gauntlet doesn't do anything either, so it's not his DR... --FlameWolf 23:29, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Just tried this out. No damage from a sneak attack Terrible Shotgun to the face with 100 small guns and full repair. Good to see it's not only me. Fat Man Spoon 23:33, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Same thing happened to me. I noticed it when we got into the fight in the tunnels with the Reavers; Charon died very quickly (I reloaded) but Fawkes killed them all without taking any damage. Then I made the Sentry Bots hostile and he killed all them too. Then I shot him with the Experimental MIRV 4 times and did three bars of damage, and he quickly killed me and Charon. Fawkes is freakin' indestructible. I think it;s a game-breaker though. Makes it too easy. So I traded him for SPC and gave her a Plasma Rifle. Now Fawkes just stands outside my Megaton house and guards it. (New user who has yet to register for an account:P)

He is an unstoppable tank post DLC - I fought him in the ruins of the Citadel and basically it took most of my weapons and ammo to kill him. 25 nukes, 500+ units of flamer fuel, 50+ Alien laser shots, 50+ missiles, several Nuka-Grenades and countless other ammos. Several full health weapons broke. It took about 20-25 minutes. It was hell.

He is a tank,i went to investigate the ruins of the citadel(I was gonna bomb AFB but my thumb slipped) and when i fell into the crater,fawkes stood,there,then a few other super mutants walked in,and he said is "Im srry it had to come to this my friend,goodbye" then attacked me,it was an epic fight,tthough,2 overlords with tri-beams,4 masters 6 brutes 8 normals and fawkes versus a level 30 guy with only the metal blaster,blackhawk a super sledge and a few stimpacks,but i won,i grabbed everything from the armury,and ahnilated everyone,and killed fawkes afeter an hour,so i killed him with his own super sledge Werewolfhell 15:18, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

 * What are you talking about actually,i dont wanna know Werewolfhell 15:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

He has 15000 health and 100 damage resistance at lvl 30 with BS. Maybe that explains some of the above. --ThorX 11:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have this bug to --L3art 10:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I can attest to his invincibility too, I was around Takoma Park (I think) and he was taking on a behemoth with a lead pipe (such a G) so I sat and watched him take no damage for probably 2 minutes and the behemoth was almost dead. So I pull out the experimental MIRV and plaster them both. The behemoth is lying 30 yards away in pieces and Fawkes is just chillin' in the radiation. I walk up to him and he's all like "Something...troubling you my friend?" Ungodly...--Bigwavedave619 15:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, to me, his one weakness has been the flamer. I gave one to Wolfgangs guard, killed wolfgang, and I let Fawkes fight her alone. He actually died with her at about 10 bars of health left. A couple times, I planted about 10 Plasma mines, 5 frag mines, 2 pulse mines, and 2 nukagrenades on him and he got about 10 pts of damage. Once, I was at level 20 with fully repaired Telsa Armor, and I died in the blast. Try using something like the Xuanlong assault rifle. --TheFrogger 18:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

He is indeed invincible after a certain point. I acquired him at level 26 and over the course of traveling to Fort constantine he would lose 1 notch of health on each side of the bar and no more no matter what. I experimentally shot him over 100 times with my A3-21 to no avail. I then tried the same with every other weapon in my arsenal. Nothing. I then took him to megaton and had him stand by the bomb and hit him 4 times with the experimental MIRV and he was still undamaged. Afterwards, I took him to the top of Lucas Simm's house and shot him off with the Gauss Rifle to see if he would take falling damage but he was undamaged. Finally, being the thorough investigator I am, I took him to the most irradiated zone of the surface of Vault 87 to see if the Rads could kill him. After standing there for over 30 seconds while i sucked down massive quantities of rad away, He remained unharmed. So yes, he seems to be invincible.--CraZeDP3NgUiN 04:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I Managed to damage him at level 27. Hit him with 39 mini nukes from a fully repaired fat-manand brought him to 1/2 health. I imagine at lvl 30 he is completely indestructible.--CraZeDP3NgUiN 13:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes's face model
Is anyone else disappointed at the copy/paste job the devs did with Fawkes's face model? I would think that having modeled dozens (hundreds?) of NPC faces, they could have done a bit more to make Fawkes, a recruitable and main-quest-critical NPC, unique. Maybe allow his lips to close over his teeth, eliminate the permanent Super Mutant snarl he displays, etc. It's really weird talking to a rational, wise being whose face displays only brutish anger and can't even talk without baring his teeth. Yes, yes, you could explain it away as "effects from the FEV", but that's pretty lazy. Considering Fawkes is purposely distinguished from other Super Mutants in some very core respects, it would make sense for him to have a unique face. Any mods out there for this? I haven't found any. Would such a mod have to involve reprogramming Fawkes's 'face muscles' for every line of dialogue? Cause that would definitely explain its absence. --rockopete 11:14, 29 May 2009
 * Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. Werewolfhell 17:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Disapearing Fawkes?
I left Raven Rock and recruited Charon and then Star Paladin Cross. So then I went to Raven Rock with the intent of adding Fawkes to my soon to be army but he wasn't there...      or anywhere for that matter. Anyone else have this problem, or by chance know where he could have gone? Xarxes 04:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Star Paladin Cross won't join your party if Fawkes is in it. Maybe it's the same for Fawkes, so it won't let him join your party. Try looking in all the places that the bugs mention, as well as the Museum of History. You can also try waiting for long periods of time to help characters get to their destinations (like the museum of history). - July 1, 2009

Ending
Okay, here's a question not just about Fawkes, but about all the characters. If you activate the purifier yourself, what happens to the companions following you?
 * They probably went had a little dramatic moment for your death and decided to go there own ways. That, or they were killed in the process. If you have Broken Steel, everyone's okay!--FawkesGamer360 19:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Plus, with Broken Steel you can ask him to turn on the purifier for you. This time he'll do it, just like Charon and Sergant RL-3

I seem to have lost Fawkes...he was following me from Tenpenny Tower east and fell behind. he's nowhere to be found, and I can't recruit Cross as she thinks he's still there. Thoughts?

Fawkes and Aqua Pura
Not a very important thing, definitely not article worthy, but upon returning to the Museum of History to retrieve Fawkes I saw him standing in front of the Aqua Pura booth listening to the guy preach about it's magical properties. When I went up to Fakwes he said "I'm defintely getting a bottle." I just thought this was funny because the guy usually preaches it to cure being a Ghoul, not a Super Mutant (which is done with experiments and F.E.V, not extreme radiation exposure like Ghouls.)

Fawkes vs. Super Mutant Behemoth
I just went to kill the Behemoth at Takoma Industrial and decided to hide and let Fawkes do all the work. He killed it and only took 2 bars of damage. Midway through the fight the Behemoth ran off for no apparent reason for a minute and came back to be finished off. Even while Fawkes was knocked down It didn't seem he was taking much damage. (This was on normal difficulty on the 360) --Gritzcolin 02:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes and Wasteland Survivors
Sometimes, Fawkes will attack those wastelanders unfourtunate enough to be enlighted with the wasteland survival guide. Why?

Because it didn't include Super Mutants!

Gatling Laser Ammo
If you have Fawkes carry Gatling Laser Ammo, he will use it up even though his Gatling Laser has unlimited ammo.

Fawkes's Intelligence
Well, I was fucking around on the GECK today when I noticed Fawkes only has 3 Intelligence. This confused me HIGHLY, seeing how Fawkes said he/she had a terminal he/she learned from; not to mention he/she can grasp all of those Buddist Concepts. Is that S.P.E.C.I.A.L. error or just a general thing for Super Mutants? The One, The Only, Lone Ranger 13:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The devs probably didn't think anyone would look up the stats. In FO3, many SPECIAL stats for characters don't make sense, and even though they have no gameplay application, they really should have made up plausible stats for at least the major characters. Fawkes' stats should probably be more in line with those of the Lieutenant in FO1 (where the devs actually did give NPCs plausible statistics). Ausir(talk) 13:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes ruins 3rd Person.
When you run through the Capital Wasteland in tow, the camera constantly switches from behind Fawkes and I to between the both of us. I have to make the camera a little higher, but I hate doing that. Mehhh, just one thing that bothers me.

Oh, and he runs so awkwardly, haha. Birthday Suit 04:27, 12 July 2009 (UTC) Just kidding. I can just change the tactics to make him hang back further. :P Birthday Suit 04:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
