Forum:I lost Fawkes, he just dissappeared.

So in my last play through(X360), I was leveled out at 20 and trying to find Oasis, which as everyone knows invloves a little searching through some pretty rocky terrain. At the time I had Fawkes with me and he had become stuck on an outcropping of rock. No worries, I got him freed up and then found a safe place for him to stand back on the main path where I told him to wait. I then proceeded through the little path that goes through the south side of the rocks and finally found Oasis. After completing the whole Oasis thingy, I returned to where I left Fawkes and he was nowhere to be found. I tried waiting, no luck, more waiting, nothing. He's just gone. It's really weird because I left him waiting in front of my Megaton house all the time (sometimes for days) and never had a problem, he was always there when I returned. After a while I gave up on it and went to hire Charon. Bought his contract, watched him kill dude, but then he told me he couldn't come with because I already had a follower with me, which I most certainly did not, since he dissappeared.

Anyone else have this happen, or know how to fix it?

Sounds like you'll just have to search for him again, you probably thought you left him in one spot, but it was really another. Or something attacked him and he moved off to fight it, and ended up waiting there. In the future only have companions wait in places that are easy to find, and have no spawning enemies nearby (I just leave them in my house if I they can't come on a quest).Cavesloth 17:20, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Cavesloth


 * I don't know if this is correct, but don't companions go to their spots if you haven't used them in a while? XxInThRaXeDxX 19:11, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
