Forum:Disappearing Followers

I had Charon and Dogmeat. I went to do the Waters Of Life Quest, and told them to wait in my House in Megaton, to save them being killed. When I returned, both of them were gone. Neither are at Vault 101, or Underworld. Is there anything I can do to find them, or will I have to reload my game from well before i even started the quest? Thanks.

In all cases where I've temporarily lost a follower, they were either traveling to a location after I'd sent them home, or they got "fed up" waiting and went to their default location (along with an announcement eg "dogmeat is at vault 101"). I found them later, although they could perhaps get killed on the way, as they travel in real time (its possible to follow them home).

However if neither of these events has occurred, I suspect it may be a glitch. It might be worth checking 101 or Underworld again a few days later (use the wait facility). Otherwise resign yourself to them being gone or go back to a previous save. --Cally777 16:20, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
