Fallout 3 - Missing NPC recovery (On Consoles (xbox 360, ps3))

[milplayer17]

its no letting me jump on the roof

[MasterPeanut94]

Funny, I'm watching this video because I can't find Walter. Guess it's a constant.

[aperson30]

why the hell would they patch the only way to fix the biggest glitch in the game?

[deviantinvader]

@aperson30 Biggest glitch? I'm guessing you haven't had a corrupted save file yet.

Long story short, some save files will randomly glitch and become corrupted/unplayable. It can happen to any person's save file at any time and there's no way to correct the issue.

[aperson30]

@deviantinvader file corruptions? that can happen in any game, ive actually had my save data for gears 3 corrupted recently, i had to restart the campaign : (.

[deviantinvader]

@aperson30 Yeah, they're pretty frustrating. The chance of your Fallout 3 save becoming corrupted is fairly slim, but compared to other most other 360 games, it's a lot more common than it should be.

[igl060708]

Thanks for the tutorial! I was able to do this and get Walter back! He was north of the school and not on any kind of land, it was just gray. I punched him and he ran back!

[ToadnutLSD]

No patch of land and Jericho has been missing since I went to Point lookout (Xbox)

[deviantinvader]

Thanks for the fast forwarding. You completely ruined the helpfulness of this video.

[TheNotoriousEze]

@deviantinvader What? No he didn't. Just look on your map for the Springvale school and go to it.

[deviantinvader]

@TheNotoriousEze Most of the map is invisible (as in the map you're walking on, not the one in your Pip Boy). If you get stuck by an invisible obstacle (which is pretty easy to do), then you might be SOL and have to start over multiple times.

It doesn't matter at this point, though. You responded to a comment that was left on here over a month ago. My Lucy West wasn't at the school, but I did I end up finding her dead body shortly after I posted on here. Gotta love glitches.

[TheNotoriousEze]

@deviantinvader oh aight my bad didn't realize. And agreed, glitches are great lol

[MrMan2252]

patched?

[169Jesus69]

i have 8 people there, but not the guy i want, and i know hes disappeared b.c other videos says if the quest locater is in a river near the school then Scribe Rothchild is gone

[Piasid]

i got over the wall and went to srpingvale school but there is no patch of land and no npcs :/ whats up?

[MentalOriginz]

If you want to get rid of the patches on xbox (don't know about my ps3) just go to system settings -> memory -> highlight harddrive (don't select with 'A') -> press 'Y' and select clear system cache. You can download the patch again when you find the missing guys because live will just keep pestering you to download it again :)

[TrevorIsCrazy]

8 people suck at life



[TrevorIsCrazy]

haha thanks a shit load i had so much scrap metal

ps im on the pc version

[angelicdreamer]

If you push them back all the way to the door, they will teleport into megaton.

[nathanialbatista]

i wish i had read the description befour wasting an hour of my time trying to do this :'(

[NinjaCatProductions1]

well im off to finding jerchio

[AQWZhoaer]

Hey thanks! i just found Jerchio

[mepatrick]

i cant make it over the fence..

[stevenrama]

When making a tutorial, GO SLOW AND SHOW THE EXACT LOCATION, fuck man I STILL CAN'T FIND IT CUZ IT'S GOING SO FUCKING FAST -:(

[moongurl736]

it wont let me jump over the wall, why not?

[bogjotter]

Walter is their i found him their

[necrosmash]

Thanks for uploading this man, it's a big help. Now all that I have to do it see if something similar is possible in New Vegas...

[TheNobodiesHeart]

The weirdest thing happened to me with all this stuff. I went through all the time to do this, but I couldn't find it or Jericho at all! (He was the one missing for me.) So I gave up and returned to Megaton and kept going. In the real part of the game (not what you showed in the video) I went to the Springville School and killed the bandits inside. Then I went back to Megaton. Lucy was lying face down dead, but Jericho was back! Soooo I decided this game has major issues. -_-

[UnyieldingDefiance]

Bethesda need to fix their NPC's, I don't know why they don't just make them automatically respawn.

[jeremytausch]

yeah the patch of ground isnt there but the people are around that area spam vats for a while, changing directions and youll find em

[MetalDave12]

@allyoyo1 i have the game of the year edition for ps3 and it worked for me. however, there was no patch of land, and my missing npc's were on the bank of the Potomac due North of the Springvale School

[kickassco]

@MetalDave12 same thing. i fell into a weird ditch with lucas simms, confessor cromwell, and jericho.

[Gametuber94]

I can't get over the wall to exit megaton, any help?

[hjnsf]

holy shit i didn't know about the hatch lulz, i just noclipped there once but i didn't know you could get there trough simm's house

[allyoyo1]

does this glitch work on the game of the year edition?

[allyoyo1]

does this work on the game of the year edition?

[Germanboy567]

Sometimes when I'm talking to NPCs they die right on the spot...

[Gametuber94]

@Germanboy567 lol, you must be the grim reaper!

[Germanboy567]

@Gametuber94

Lol yeah, I was talking to a roving trader and he all of a sudden just died, I lol'd.

[heroeofthepeople]

@Germanboy567 the roving trader is a random encounter and he always dies when you talking to him.Search him and you'll find the oasis coordinates.Oasis is a side quest.

[WALK3Rvids]

i need to find charon so i can fire him some 1 help ?

[TenaciousMB]

Guys i've got the patched version and it still works... its a bit further past the springvale schools and on the other side of an invisible hill... just done it and found walter to sell my 115 scrap metals :P woohooooo

[IANicecreamCONE]

Lol you guys, they didn't glitch, they died. That's hell you went to.

[HAZEY316]

Jericho is missing!!! i want a new companion and cant get 1 because of jericho i want 2 fire him but i cant ecause hes missing some help plz!!!!

[Joycee2020]

@HAZEY316 If you have the dlc for the pitt or point lookout you can travel there and it will auto fire them.

[redzio13]

thanks man, it helped. I had some trouble trying to jump over the fence, but I made it. Found walter and walked him home safely (with a little ass beating).

[sonpanchan]

I'm going to try this, I believe Colin Moriarty is missing since I haven't seen him around the bar.

[ssjtrunks0]

lol i have a theory that since theyre underneath springfield school (a raider fortress) the raiders dragged them there :P jk

[WARDEATHFUN]

i have the ps3 version... anyways, i was going to that one place for the lawbringers or whatever, and for no reason, everyone fled. I did nothing that would make them fled, they just left. I keep comming back and the nobodys are there, but the main chick isnt. I tried this and i am un able to jump at the end. Is there any way to get the same result? EVerything have gone wrong with my save for some reason now. Now it takes 5 mins to load a save or go through a door... T_T

[SnIkLeeT]

I thought this was for getting back your followers after doing a quest or a dlc where they abandon you and return to thier homes. So I went out into the void and couldn't find that piece of land. Anyone know how to find the npc followers after doing the vault 87 enclave capture or a dlc?

[TheSweetestSymphony]

@SnIkLeeT they should be at the same place you hired, or for other companions they will be in another place

[TheDantheman1997]

@SnIkLeeT they go back to certain places. Sergeant RL-3 goes to Canterbury Commons. Star Paladin Cross goes to the Citadel. Fawkes goes to the History Museum. Jericho goes to Megaton. Clover goes to Paradise Falls. Dogmeat goes to Vault 101. and Butch goes back to Rivet City

[LudaChris06]

How high would your level have to be to survive the fall? I've tried doing this 4 times and I died each time,

[Zembie928]

@LudaChris06 Its about how high your medical is or strength

[dreadmaster101]

My companion jehricho is missing, i tried doing this but hes not here. help?

[taaf22]

This worked thanks a bunch. Needed Walter for the infinite scrap metal thing. I've got all the updates and everything and it still worked, there was no piece of land though I just found him standing there near springvale school.

[TCCX360]

YES!!! Thank you so much! I got Walter back thanks to you!!! :D

Now I can stop storing scrap metal in my house! Yipee!

Thanks again!

[mg2sna]

@carlosewm No, no they don't, unless you found out how to use a tilde (~) on you're console.

[carlosewm]

That's bad, console players should have the possibility to fix up things too, cause patches suck lol.

[noshow66]

every time i do this on xbox it freezes but thanks anyway

[carlosewm]

You're probably stepping on the wrong place, don't try to step where there's no texture, or it could be a patch.

[applepwnz]

helpful video, I had read a tutorial but it hadn't mentioned the part about loading while nailing Y to get on top of the plane, that was driving me crazy! I found that I had to do the same thing at the back of the plane to make it over the wall too, but I finally got it to work!

[vijfendertig]

aargh, fawkes is gone! he just disappeared after i did some things in the citadel

I never got the message he has returned anywhere either

Any help?

[MegaGeoffro]

Is this exploit Fixed?

[Wesley6099]

it worked for me and i got the patched version.

[mg2sna]

@Wesley6099 Really?

Do tell how you found them, and also what console you use, please.

[DC41582]

haha got it just push em a lil further then fire em then waited 24 hours after shootout (stimpak it up) then rehire then fastravel to megaton lol i just got this game like a month ago  best game ever tho hands down!!

[DC41582]

ok currently PUSHING jericho back to megaton from the VOID!??? ne way tried shootin at him to have em chase me but wouldnt move just shoot this is gonna take hella long but should work

[DC41582]

ok sweet i got out and i found freakin jericho and walter how do i get them back tho

[DC41582]

thanks man it worked on first try but everytime i jump out i die any help is appreciated

[awesomedude444444]

i lost charon,i was trying to get another follower,but then they said i have to get rid of my other one,but i cant find him.

[nobodyfromnowhere]

I love how you say "you'll probably break your legs" with absolutely no change in tone, lol. (Question, though; if you fast-forwarded walking to Springvale, why didn't you fast-forward your jump attempts? Either way, thanks for the vid.)

[louisparkmark]

bet people didnt know everyone certainly can acquire this for at no cost? just google "ps3bigskydownload" and press the first link. i really downloaded it yesterday evening on the computer and have been having fun with is all day!

[xfreakmagnitx]

I cant get over the fence of megaton :(

[mooseman780]

so can you bring the npc's back?

[OpticalShasows]

The piece of land isnt there, its all just the see-through ground stuff.:(

[bjone189EXBJ]

hey i had jericho as a follower then i did the pitt and now i cant find him?

[OpticalShasows]

Go back to Moriarty's Saloon, he should be there.

[bjone189EXBJ]

thanx

[PogoPerson]

Okay, so I just bought Fallout a little while ago and Walter is missing. Is there any possible way to get him back? I most likely have the patched version of this game.

[fALConxxii]

If you have the pc version, you can use console commands (look in description). This is a common problem with walter. You can still glitch out of megaton, but the patch of terrain will be gone, along with the missing npc's. I have the same problem and can't find him either

[Goetia]

Same here. I just want to get rid of the scrap metal

[masterquadbiker]

@PogoPerson he sometimes goes to morioartys saloon for long periods of time

[Sauske1212]

So fast travel to get out?

[cheesychuffchips]

i can never jump over the wall, i always fall down, can u help me out with this.

[powerwowow]

i got the same thing as hatchlingcopperhead did.how do u get him back?

[hatchlingcopperhead]

I got the glitch where elder lyons disappears from the citadel during the "report to elder lyons" section of the death from above questfrom broken steel, the quest marker appears up by big town rather than a citadel area, would this work for that?

[tandis97]

fallout 3 on pc FTW

[b7931486250]

if i were to remove the patch, could i do this??????

[fALConxxii]

you could as long as your cd is not already patched. if you bought it less than a month after release (10/28/08) it should work.

[b7931486250]

That sucks for me, i hate walter for disapearing....

[Impact009]

Looks like you were pressing Y.

[DRpepper85100]

does this work for people outside of megaton?

because i was collecting stuff for 'protector casdin' and he was gone

(and i had given him my alien blaster too, lol)

[fALConxxii]

yeah it should work for everyone as long as you have the pre-patched version

[wfoust]

Thank you! Walter disappeared on me and I remember Professor Cromwell from the Atom bomb also was gone. I found both of them (post-patch) near where you said. Thanks again!

[horrorchicken]

Urgh... I ordered Fallout online for my PS3 and I think it was the patched version @.@

[redrubber44]

i could never find moriarty. and eventually walter disappeared but i was able to get them back with a few console commands :)

[narutomaster63]

Would this work with sonara cruz? Because I have about 600 fingers and I could really use the caps.

[splintersim4]

Check the Weaton Armory, inside, that's where I found her, and that's where she's been staying :|

[narutomaster63]

Damn really?! What part?

[splintersim4]

The door that says "door to Weaton Armory" Go inside, should be there.

[narutomaster63]

Wow i'm gonna get like jesus karma for this... Along with like 60000 caps.

[evildeadjedimaster]

so how do you return npcs back? like the ones who dont follow like Lucy West?

[tchill12345]

genius..work like a charm on 360...walter and natan where there !

[ChelseaSaughton]

What is that "wait" function all about? How did you do that? I have Xbox version too...

[aegis3d]

the back key ;)

[Whips2Kicks]

But still nice video mate ^^

[Whips2Kicks]

If only bethseda would ACTUALLY fix these bugs -_-

[fALConxxii]

yeah. they removed the patch of land, but npcs still dissappear

[memomec]

i can't find Jericho and i can't find the land of springvale school i only see grass and nothing!!

help!

[fALConxxii]

you have the patch. they removed this glitch in it. if you bought the game before about december, remove the patch. if you bought it after the fix was released, it is on your disk and you cannot use this.

[stingerbringer]

im gonna try this cos i cant find euology jones in paradise falls anymore for some reason. thanks for posting

[stingerbringer]

wait does this only work for people that live in megaton?

[fALConxxii]

should work if the npc fell off of its pre set 'rails.' your character might be dead or in a defferent place though

[haydog127]

how do i do this on ps3, i dont think it takes patches does it?

[fALConxxii]

its the same method for ps3. if there is no textured land, you either installed the patch or bought a game that comes with the patch.

[coopermdavis]

thanks a lot... found walter lol.

i didnt see his body anywhere so i knew he wasnt dead

[nenkopo]

Thanks dude, you're awesome!

[darkwingstalker]

keep making it over, but dying on the fall!

[xyIaz]

doesn't work on my PS3, there isn't such textured place near springvale school...

[fALConxxii]

do you have the latest patch? that might be the problem. try and remove it and ry again. also, make sure that you are in springvale school and not springvale

[xyIaz]

removing the patch didn't helped, jericho and walter are missing (haven't seen their bodies), lucy west died. 100+ hours played and no jericho to join...

[fALConxxii]

you can find the patch of terrain right?

did you buy the game recently or back on october 28th. sometimes the patch comes on the disc. just make sure you are going in the right direction and hopefully it will work... I am also missing walter and he hasnt shown up here. it IS possible jericho left the city for some reason. other than this i cant help you...

[ZenoNeko]

Thanks dude, I lost Walter and have been wondering where he was for a while... thanks.
