Roxie

Roxie is a cyberdog that can be created in the X-8 research center in 2281.

Background
Made at the X-8 research center through splicing a dog and a robot, Roxie can be made to follow you. Unlike other companions, it is possible for Roxie to die, even when not playing on Hardcore mode. However, she can be revived by creating her again at the X-8 facility.

Unfortunately, Roxie only follows you around the X-8 facility and will not follow you outside of the facility. If you leave the area Roxie will stay near the entrance inside the X-8 facility. The holotape to splice dogs and robots is found on a large table downstairs near the institutional test facility door in X-8.

To create Roxie, upon entering the X-8 facility there will be a hallway to the player's left. Once you go through the door in the left hallway there will be a terminal in which you can use the splicing holotapes. Roxie also does not use the companion wheel, you must talk to her to have her follow you or to make her leave.

Appearances
Roxie appears only in Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Bugs

 * Sometimes Roxie will not initiate dialogue with the player.
 * Roxie may spontaneously die for no apparent reason, but she can be 're-made'. If there are still issues reload a previous save.
 * Sometimes Roxie will not respond to dialogue at all, try reloading your last save and this should fix the issue.
 * Even if she was created (and even taking through all the training missions), none of Roxie's endings will appear after completion of the DLC.
