Ok so please list what you do see as choices.

Ok I deleted my cache and reloaded a save a few down on my list, and it finally lists the option. I swear I have had the most glitchest game (Random characters wonder off into oblivion never to be seen again, one point it literally started raining giant molerats that are way bigger than usual and it pretty much crashed my game, some shop sellers crash the game when you buy stuff from them, quest markers leading to nothing, clipping issues, invisible land, and it keeps going on.)

So I am working on recruiting Boone. According to the evidence, it was Jeannie Mae Crawford who sold his wife away. However, I can't find this person! She doesn't seem to be anywhere in Novac and definitely not in her house. Any tips?

 

EDIT: Nevermind. Just ran into her. Guess it has to be night? How do I get her to go out to the dinosaur? I have no option like that.

Can I still get the achievement if Veronica leaves me after joining me because I blew up the brotherhood bunker? (it says I gained her perk and then after says I lost it)

 

All you need to do is have their perk once and have convinced them to travel with you. They can leave or die it wont matter.

Good stab at a guide here, but I feel it's been slightly rushed and you've missed out some real important key parts that are going to get people SO lost. For example, I was using your guide last night to get 'The Whole Gang Is Here', and I ran into this section of your guide:

 

4. Raul (ghoul mechanic) - Black Mountain Prison Building - rescue him by unlocking the door.

Perk:

'Regular Maintanence' - Armor and weapons decay more slowly

 

All fine and well. Until you get to the door, and find it needs a key to open. Then you find the terminal needs a Science skill of 100 to get into. Many people would spend 20~ minutes looking for a key which, I believe, doesn't exist, or simply give up because they lack the appropriate Science skill.

 

What *should* be included in your guide is the fact that in the Prison Building there's a seperate terminal with 6 entries on it. Upon reading the 6th entry, it removes the 'Very Hard' status of the terminal which opens the door, meaning you don't need 100 Science to get to Raul.

 

Like I said, you've had a good attempt, with a bit more detail this guide would be fabulous. Please don't take my criticism offensively, it's intended to help. If you wrote a little guide for each of the companions instead of just "Solve his quest" or "Open this door", I'm sure a LOT more people would find this useful. (I mean, come on guy, you aren't even telling us WHAT quest we have to finish to get Boone. It's One For My Baby, by the way, but people who don't know this are still NO better off than before they read your guide, really.).

 

Still, good attempt.

I'm sure I'm missing something here. ED-E. I don't have a high enough repair or science skill to fix it myself, the optional quest marker says take it to Gibson scrap yard. HOW??! When I interact with it at Nash's I only get the repair/leave it/science options, not pick up and carry to Gibson's. Like I said, I'm probably missing the obvious, but I can't get my head around it ;)

get 3 scrap metal, 2 sensor modules and 1 scrap electronics then you can repair him without needing the repair or science skill

hi i have rex and boone but cant have another to follow me, any idea what to do to get the achievement then e.g tell one to wait at your house then go get another, wait at house again go get another, rinse and repeat i would try myself but not at xbox untill later on, also can they die, i have had boone knocked unconcious many times, but he never seems to die.

 

Talk to the companion and tell him you should part ways then tell him to go wait at the destination of your choice. I chose lucky 38 casino.

Just an FYI

 

Boon is as dead as a doornail in my game, and i am playing on normal. here is what happened:

 

I had a legion assassination squad show up to get me in novak, all hell broke loose. By sheer chance a train of traders and their mercenarys where nearby. everyone started shooting each other, and when the dust settled I had great fun looting corpses!

 

later on, MUCH later on (many saves later) I was wandering through town and found boon, dead in a corner. The legion had killed him, he has no head. I am sure he died in that firefight. Interestingly i can loot him of everything but his gun, his gun is in his hands, but does not show up in his inventory and is not selectible in the world.

 

So now there is no way I can recruit all of the companions this play-through, not a big deal for me as I will probably play through it several times (300 hours+ on fallout 3) Kind of sucks since i wanted to get this chivo on my normal play-thorugh, as I don't want to babysit them in a hardcore play-through.

Thanks, but I have those too, like I said, maybe I'm just being a total fool and missing the obvious, I'll go back and have another go once I've got more bits than I need. Managed to get Boone first. :)

Thank you sir for the tip! This has to be added to the guide!

Also if you could include details about if any factions dislike you if it affects recruiting certain people, because I know if the legion likes you then Boone will shoot you on sight and can't be recruited, I don't know if any of the others are affected by factions

 

I believe so because the Legion likes me so Arcade will not go with me. Planning to try it with an NCR uniform on. Doubt it will work though. I did Boone first and dismissed him because I was going to go Legion.

I see a lot of people asking quetions about companions just disappearing, and then they just happent o find them. I, however, am having no luck. Lost Rul outside the Lucky 38 when I went to talk to House, and now I can;t find him anywhere (looked in the Suite, looked in the Casino, looked in the Lounge, even looked near his shack).

 

Anyone know how to call a follower?
