NPCs don't follow in Fallout 2

Post by Guest »

Hey all. Got a problem with my npc followers...in that they don't follow me anymore.

Been playing for quite a few hours and at first everything was fine, Vic and the rest would scamper across the map with me everywhere I went. Now when I enter a new map area, they spawn with me at the start location, but don't move anywhere unless I get into a combat and they are close enough to see and get involved. Otherwise, they just sit there until I go to a new map.

Suggestions on fixing this anyone?

Talk to NPC -> Change distance -> Stay close to me.

That should do the trick.

Talk to them and adjust follow distance then exit conversation and walk around then go back into conversation and change follow distance again.

Perhaps save and reload in between changes.

Frater beat me to it.

Gotta read further down before replying.
