Talk:Sticky

Nice job with the pic. Isn't that misleading? That's not remotely close to how Sticky looks like when you first meet him.
 * ive never seen sticky before, but you friend sound a tad bit grouchy. was that a hint of sarchasm i heard?

I think the Lamplighters killed Sticky before I accepted him to follow me. I found his body torn apart at the front gate of Little Lamplight. Those bastards....
 * Same result here. Perhaps something entered the cave, offed him and then ran? I declined to lead him to Bigtown, being under the impression i could catch up with him later and accept the escort at that time. Later as I was leaving lamplight after clearing murder pass, he was right past the guard house in pieces. -TheYeti 23:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Age?
I'm just wondering if we know that Sticky is 18 years old as currently stated? Flash in Big Town clearly says that kids get removed from Little Lamplight when you are 16, which would suggest that Sticky is 16 years old. - User:Barry619


 * The age given for removal from LL seems to differ between localized versions of the game. For some versions it's 16, for some it's 18 as far as I can tell. // Porter21 U 15:56, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * My guess is that, for the North American release, they had to make him say 18 because he can be killed. No "minors" can be killed in this game for, probably, rating purposes. To make him 16 and killable might have given Bethseda a problem marketing/being able to get a sellable rating. Artistically, he is probably 16, but the censors and their ratings. Oh well. User:TomahawkNT

it actually may not be a Bug or mistake, i myself Believe that Sticky was supposed to leave at 16 .. but Lied about his Age just to stay till at least 18, when they finally Busted him :)

Actor
Is it me, or does Sticky not only resemble the Adoring Fan in function but voice? The voices sound similar, even exact when he gets wound up in some sentences. Is it just me?-Puddlemaster Talk+Contribs. 05:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

It sure sounds like Craig Sechler to me too, but without an official note in the credits, that's just a (educated) guess. --71.220.202.122 13:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I doubt it tbh. Its a good impression tho.

It is Craig Sechler. No doubt about it. If he did Crazy Wolfgang why couldn't he do Sticky? Sechler's awesome. Just because of the Adoring fan.

Sticky, suicide?
It states he shoots himself if you refuse to escort him - but this isn't true. I've been trying to get him to and he won't. I think it's a case of Spontaneous NPC Death Syndrome - something following into the cave, etc. Can anyone actually confirm this?


 * As a followup to my original question, I found out the answer after some black box testing. It's scripted. If you don't select any "wait" or "yes" dialog option at all (merely say "I'm going, bye"), he becomes dejected then walks to and leans against a rock near the entrance. The MOMENT you zone out and back in he instafrags in-place. I even snuck by him to get to the Administration Offices door, let him run up to me, and spoke with him at the door - then immediately turned around and went through the door and right back - SPLAT.

I checked his ammunition stores before and after, and he always had 14 10mm pistol rounds on him (no way to check the gun's clip magazine). As we all know, Bethesda has a thing against child killing, so his death is PRESUMED. It's equally as likely a Yao Guai wandered into the cave and mauled him, then ran out again. Just as like his age is as probabilistic as Schroedinger's cat (16/18). ChaIsADumpStat 08:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Sticky as a follower.
Having used Sticky quite a bit, I can tell you he is very sensitive to friendly fire. If you accidentally shoot him one or twice, or he is near mines you've laid, (even pulse ones), he turns hostile, even with power armour. He quite liked the combat shotgun, but dropped it a few times, most often when meleed by an opponent. He usually calls "Help me!" during these moments, so if you give him a valuable weapon, you might want to make sure he still has it.

I too have used Sticky excessively as a pack mule/firepower. STICKY WILL SET OFF YOUR MINES, unlike any other follower I have tested mines with (Red, Shorty, Sidney, Charon, SPC, Fawkes, RL3, Dog Meat). This can be very destructive because he's almost always right on top of you, so if you set a bottlecap mine with Sticky around, be prepared for him to die and for yourself to be maimed or killed. As mentioned above, he is also very susceptible to friendly fire and will turn on you the moment you damage him in any way, including environmental damage from an exploding vehicle! If I recall correctly, there is no karma loss for killing him either, and you are definitely not alerted when he dies, so it is easy to lose him and anything you give him unless you are playing babysitter. He is very trigger happy, but rather effective with The Terrible Shotgun and especially with the Blackhawk (if you have the ammo to spare). I prefer to equip him with mid to close-range high-damage stuff as he's always right on top of me when I trigger things, and I don't generally sneak.--Jesusplayedwithwood 07:43, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I have used Sticky for about half of he game, and he can be incredibly accurate with the gauss rifle for the operation anchorage "keep your simulation inventory glitch", or at least when you give him tesla armor, an enclave officer hat, and the lucky shades. He is a pretty good support character, and it is convinient that he can assist you throught the add-ons.

Healing?
i understand Sticky does not like to use stimpaks, and doesnt heal after battles, so that sprung up the question on how to heal him if he's too low on health to make it through another fight? I'm having this problem in my game.

I have used Sticky, Red, and Shorty excessively, and I would have to say that Shorty is worse about healing himself (or takes more damage) than Sticky. Just keep all 3 of them equipped with a bunch of stim packs and don't take on really hard enemies when they are really weak unless you've got it covered to the point where it is unlikely they will get hurt. Saving a lot doesn't hurt either.--Jesusplayedwithwood 07:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

What I did to help Sticky heal and at least regain every other crippled body part, was that I gave him the "Surgeon's labcoat" item and a bunch of stimpacks. I then chose a damaged chinese pistol and shot him in the left or right leg (whichever is more crippled.) I targeted him in V.A.T.S. and shot his leg continouously until he had 10 dashes of health. I then told him to wait, and re-recruited him at once using the "Alright, lets go to Bigtown" speech option. He will then go into the fist pumping animation and then into the healing one. If he does not heal, I re-target the selected leg and shoot it once, repeating the same operation until he heals. Doing this continuously will help him re-gain his crippled body parts (eventually.) Note that I saved every time he healed, and used a stealth boy to enter a "HIDDEN" status after I was completely done with the entire process. If you do not want to fire your followers, go to your Megaton house, or any other safe location and leave them there. I prefer to do the healing process with sticky in Vault 112, since it is very safe and large and if you close the vault door, it will be difficult for him to escape. I also advise saving before you start he healing process. I hope this helps.

Party Hat = Fan's Hair?
I took that little bit out of the article. That just sounds stupid. Convince me here before putting it back.

Strange glitch.

 * On my third playthrough, I was traveling to Vault 87, and when I entered Lamplight and talked to Sticky, I decided to take him to Big Town after coming back from Raven Rock. However, when I was walking through the food area in Lamplight later on, I found Sticky's gored body on the ground. Did he annoy the Lamplighters THAT much? 65.255.93.142 19:27, 10 May 2009 (UTC) Pyro Penguin

The Pitt/Companion locations
I'm playing through The Pitt DLC now and I was wondering if and where I can find Sticky when I return. I had Clover and Dogmeat with me as well, and the game informed me that they'd been returned to Paradise Falls and Vault 101, respectively, but no information regarding where Sticky would be. I had him equipped with Linden's Outcast Power Armor and a Gatling Laser, so I'm hoping he won't simply have vanished or wandered off to Big Town. Anybody know what happens with Sticky after returning from The Pitt? 115.64.118.162 10:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sticky is not considered a follower, so he will actually follow you into the Pitt (I think). Unless you told him to wait somewhere like in your house then he should still be there. Don't worry, I'm sure he's right where you left him. Or if you decided to make him come with you to the Pitt and he wasn't there, then he might just be standing outside the tunnel that leads to the Pitt.--174.3.9.125 18:06, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I found him at my Megaton house, but he wasn't wearing the power armor and was unarmed. All he had was a damned Wasteland Settler Outfit. The stuff I gave him has vanished. I think the AI must have reset him or something. 115.64.118.162 12:51, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

== 	Bugs ==

Working to clean up the page and need some help on comforting the following bugs:

* 		There have been many complaints about Sticky failing to appear in the game at all. Even when using the console commands it is not possible to ever find him. Although the console commands appear to have worked, Sticky is never visible and you are unable to ever see or talk to him. (unconfirmed)

* 		Sticky sets off the mines the residents of Big Town set up (inside the town walls of all places). (unconfirmed)

* 		It's possible for sticky to get stuck in oasis. If you go there with him and do the mission while he waits, he will be unable to leave once you ask him to rejoin you. He will still follow you to the main door but will not exit. (unconfirmed)

* 		Sometimes if you walk past Sticky while he's leaning against the wall in Little Lamplight, he'll say "Those assholes in Little Lamplight said this place was great" like he's in Big Town. (unconfirmed)



I've tested it both ways, and he will only do it if you've already been to Big Town before meeting him (PS3). --Vorpal raddish 14:18, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

* 		If you choose to use Sticky as a follower, it is not recommended that you give him any armor or weapons that you wish to keep. Sticky may decide to run away during battle-never to be seen again- if he gets too frightened. (unconfirmed)



He may get frightened and go into flee mode, but will never abandon the player. I have used Sticky as a follower in several different playthroughs, for hundreds of hours, and he has never done anything more than cower when frightened. As soon as the enemies are killed, Sticky returns to normal. Sticky most likely fled on the original poster of this claim, and got killed somewhere that they could not find his corpse (PS3).--Vorpal raddish 14:18, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

* 		Sticky will continue to ask about Red even after she has been returned to Big Town. (unconfirmed)

please just post under me to let me know if it is confirmed Five Star Genral Of The Dead BigDog 00:46, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

*		I was playing what must have been "A Sticky Situation" yesterday morning. Two noticable glitches occurred. Firstly it didn't seem as though there was an actual quest available from my PippBoy called "A Sticky Situation". I had "Aiding The Outcasts" activated when I agreed to escort him to Big Town and he just started follwing me. When I went into my PippBoy I couldn't find "A Sticky Situation" to activate it. Secondly, we (I had Fawkes as my follower by then as well) must have been within the equivalent to half a mile of Big Town when we ran across a small Enclave outpost. I told sticky to stay put cos I thought it unlikely that he'd survive the attack, while my player and Fawkes went in and gave them what-for. Upon returning to where I'd left Sticky, he was missing. I searched the area for about twenty minutes and couldn't find him anywhere. Now I thought it might have been possible that he'd been struck by some of the bullets/missiles/heavy incinerator shells that flew past me in Sticky's direction during the attack, but I couldn't find a corpse either??? - - Interesting sub-note. I gave Sticky my heavy incinerator before we left Little Lamplight. He never used it. So I took it back and gave him a tri-beam laser rifle. He never used it, preferring instead to beat the beasts of the wastes with his fists?? - - Is it just me or is something wrong here?

Its an unmarked quest and as thus does not show up on the pip-boy. As for the gun thing, did you remember to give him ammo?

*		My brother was playing at the time, he was escorting sticky to bigtown and when he travelled to the outdoor cinema, sticky was killed by a super mutant. When he loaded the autosave from before he travelled sticky wasn't there. We haven't experimented with it beyond trying to travel places to see if he was just way behind for some reason.

mezzer?
is sticky mezzable? i tried it, i dont think it worked but i have really bad luck with the mezzer so im uncertain.

I agree, i dont think he can be either. Unless someone comes along with proof of this i think we should change it.

20:49, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

He's not a member of any factions; characters must be a member of the MS13CanMez faction in order for the Mesmetron to work on them. QED, he can't be mezzed. Kris (talk) 22:08, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Stealthy Sticky
Everytime I tell him to wait he goes in stealth mode. Is this a glitch?98.151.125.19 22:38, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

No, he's just crouching because he's waiting. - RASICTalk 22:41, January 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * But the other followers dont crouch when waiting.98.151.125.19 23:15, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

And the other followers aren't cowards. - RASICTalk 23:38, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Its not that hes a coward, Red and Shorty do this too... AreYouGoingToEatThatNuke? 05:53, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

maybe it's supposed to be him sitting down, but since the developers were to lazy to give him the scripts to sit down (like with kenny at point lookout) he just crouches.

Nottt my savior
''If you enter Vault 87 with Sticky as follower then (assuming you don't go out again) after you have escaped from Raven Rock he will come to your rescue instead of Fawkes. This however makes it impossible to receive Fawkes. (Confirmed on 360)''

Stated in the article. I'm on PS3 and this didn't occur, Fawkes was there as anticipated and Sticky was waiting for me outside the exit, bless him. Can somebody on PS3 state what happened for them, and on PC and XBOX for that matter. StarfishCostume 22:21, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I may be able to check this out for both consoles (PC & Xbox), but keeping him alive on a console will be tricky, well done to you for keeping him alive on yours. - RASICTalk 22:23, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I did nothing, basically he didn't even enter Murder Pass with me, so upon entering there, the next place I saw him was outside Raven Rock. Which is a good point actually, check to see if he enters Murder Pass with you. StarfishCostume 22:41, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

"Let's make up a story to pass the time."
This is the way Sticky tells stories, if anyone wants to know or it's worth mentioning. Pick any option in the bracketed sections in any combination.

I know, let's make up a story to pass the time.

Once upon a time there was this [dog/man/robot]...

His name was [Holy Toledo and he was really powerful.../ Joking Joe and he was always making everyone laugh really hard at all his funny jokes.../ Super Dupe Dave and he went all around rescuing people from Super Mutants, slavers, and other nasty things...]

[And one day a giant ant came up to him and started talking like he wasn't some dumb ant but a person of some kind! It said "Prepare to die!"/

And one day a spaceship from outer space landed right in front of him, and a big green alien jumped out and started eating people!/

And one day this giant Super Mutant attacked him and tried carrying him off!]

[And was our brave hero scared? No. Not at all. He laughed in the face of danger... "Ha ha ha!" He beat up the monster and everyone cheered!/

And was our so-called hero scared? You bet he was! He cried like a little baby! "Waah! Waah! Waaaaah!!!" And all his friends laughed at him!/

And what did our hero do, you wonder. He came up with the most cleverest of clever plans... and it worked! And everyone called him a genius!]

[The End!/The End! Thank you, thank you very much!/The End! That's all folks.]

Flash&#39;s gun is awesome 08:35, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

SHUT UP!!!
Sticky is so damn annoying! "Are we there yet?" "Lets make up a story to pass the time." He annoyed the hell outta me so bad that right outside of Big Town I had enough and I killed him right there...couldnt take it anymore.

ahahaha lmfao!--125.239.82.99 01:32, September 27, 2010 (UTC) c

Jack?
Wait... so his real name is Jack? Chiefsean16 18:04, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, his real name is Sticky Hands according to the Game of the Year guide. He just calls himself Jack. Kingclyde won't let me move it because he doesn't believe me... :/ Nitty Tok. 18:05, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

re:Actor
yeah the guy who does Butch, Adoring Fan, all elves in Elder Scrolls IV, and sticky, billy creel, well you get my point, is all Craig Scheler (Scheller maybe) look on searchbar     fallout 3 butch           and click "fallout wiki: butch deloria" or something and look on the right side of the screen and look at all the info it should say "Actor: Craig Scheler"

soo..... hope this helped??! lol

oops sorry i just realized it's "Sechler" not Scheler. sorry :(

Sticky Slave
In the article it says he is enslavable. I've tried enslaving Sticky with the mesmetron a good 20 times; with a stealth boy, without companions, with him waiting instead of following me; everything I can think of that might have an effect. Is it just a another bullshit hoax? Am I doing something wrong here? He always turns hostile, or his head just explodes. I'm playing on the 360 by the way. 72.70.68.60 20:09, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

I've changed it for now. Theres a post higher up that says the same thing and i too haveb't be able to do so. Unless someone has some proof then he will remain unenslavable.

21:32, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

removed from notes
"Sticky will still follow you if you do not take him to Big Town."

Well yeah,obviously. He doesn't know where you're planing to go can he? Seeing as this is a stupid and pointless note i've removed it. Have a nice day- 20:40, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think i broke it.
Ummm... while attempting to edit the interactions overview so it would say he wasn't involved in strictly profitable, as evidence on this talk page hints that he cant be involved therefor isn't involved in this quest i sort of broke the info box thing. Can someone fix this because i have no idea how. 21:41, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Deadlykris.

21:42, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Party Hat Glitch
I've edited the section on gaining an extra hat from him, but it's still rather unclear. Could somebody please edit this to make it easier to follow, perhaps by organizing it into a list? Hal10k 01:46, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Sticky
Reguarding the bug stating that Sticky sometimes never shows up, I can verify this on the PS3. I have GOTY edition, and it seems to happen when I pass the speech check to enter Little Lamplight (without saving the enslaved children). Can anyone else confirm?

Stickys Dies when ressurected
I beleive that the bug regarding Sticky dieing is acctually a scripted event that is supposed to occur if you refuse to take Sticky to Bigtown as i tried resurrecting him with console commands to see what would happen and he dies everytime you ressurect him. Don't think it's acctually a bug so i'm going to remove it from the bug list. ---bleep196- 00:43, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
