Forum:Im getting pissed

every charachter i get to follow me ends up freezing. i bought charon's contract, so he walks over to alkzeh- or whatever and they both freeze. then fawkes shows up halfway through the presidential metro mission as if he's always been with me,but he doesn't follow me. he ends up at the citadel at the end of the mission, FROZEN. plus he won't follow me but he talks to me like he is. and i can't fire him. which blocks out the option of getting someone else. Any help on how to fix it?
