Forum:HELP WITH FAWKES

Before getting the GECK from vault 87 i saw fawkes and as he was going to the geck, he just stopped and glitched and didnt move. I didnt take note of it right away and figured that if i got to raven rock he would be back there when i left. Turns out he wasnt. I then go to the vault again and he is somewhere else i say follow me and he just stands there. then i try to fire him so that he would go to the museum of history and then it would be good, but then i didnt have the option of firing him. With all else failing, i decided to attack him until he fights back and then run away so that he would move. Is it possible for me to ever get him to join me again? and how long do i have to wait to go back before he becomes friendly towards me? lastly, will he even ever be friendly?

Thanks any help would be deeply apreciated.

Youre not going to like it but you'll have to restart to before Vault 87 Gauss100

I'm gonna say that it's glitched and you're gonna have to reload your game before you met fawkes, i had a similar problem with star paladin cross and i just had to reload before she started glitching, hopefully you have a save before then, or you'll have to restart the game =-( but i wouldn't go so far as to start another game unless you absolutely want fawkes to kill steal most of the time, he is definetly one of the best companions as gear carrying/attack goes, but i wouldn't lose any sleep over not being able to recruit him.

Sounds like you need to reload from before your met Fawkes at Vault 87. I save pretty frequently due to fairly frequent XBOX lockups. On a side not the autosave feature deletes my sons games and vice versa so I'm double saving everything. *groan* V.A.T.S. addict 22:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
