Forum:Enslaving problems.

I have a problem when I enslave people. SO far I have enslaved A raider, Grandma Sparkle and Torcher. Only one has made it back alive, and grouse shouted at me for losing the others. I take all their equipment before they leave, but they still die. Any solutions?--I-am-a-panda 10:56, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I always had better survival rates if I let them keep their armor and usually weapon. This way they have something to defend themselves if attacked on the way to P.F. Usually what they have is low powered and in lousy shape, it's more cost effective for the player to have the slave survive the trip and make 250 caps than to take 35 caps worth of raider junk.  Not to mention the new collar cost.--JiNX Bloodfang 13:45, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I might give them a weapon I'm not using, or something like that. Would you say completing the strictly business quest would help firstly? --I-am-a-panda 18:09, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

♠ Nope, after extensive run-throughs, it appears that finishing the quest doesn't help increase survivability, unfortunately. Just give them a weapon before sending them off, and hope they make it. Save before fast-travelling, sometimes it just takes a few reloads before they finally succeed and make it. Cheers! Magnum101 22:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Cheers, will do the save and reload process. It would be good if they appeared in the slave pens but were sold when it overfilled, so that you could gave them a powerful gun but pickpocket it back later. --I-am-a-panda 22:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

♠ I know what you mean. But in the late game its relatively easy to find an assault rifle or chinese assault rifle without worrying too much about losing it so a slave can make it to the end. I actually wish that they would permanently stay in the slave pens as well, and evil characters could buy them (like Clover). Hehe. Well, that's just me. Don't give up on the save and reloading. I once enslaved Mei Wong from Rivet City, and it took about ten tries of reloading a quicksave before she finally made it through without dying. So, good luck! Cheers!

I just quick-traveled to Paradise Falls immediately after sending them off. They hardly ever died. 218.215.182.1 07:03, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
