Alright I had to get this off my chest cause it was hilariously sad when it happened to me.
I was playing Take It Back and I got the Broken Steel DLC so it continued blah blah blah. Anyway I discovered that sometimes Charon (our beloved ghoul) sometimes likes to completely vanish after you wake up in the Citadel. I read online that he likes to wander in the Taft Tunnels I think their called. The ones you had to escape in with Dr. Li and the other scientists?
So anyway, I didn't know that. All I knew was that after playing the ending a bunch of times I woke up in the citadel and realized he wasn't there and that never bodes well in my book so I restarted.
It wasn't until after I did what I did I realized I completely messed up.
I decided to fire him before I walked into the Rotunda. You know, I figured he would just be waiting back in Underworld for me.
But no.
I continue the game, wake up as usual, leave the place (so that it makes an AutoSave of course) and try to find Charon.
He was on top of the Jefferson Memorial!! Over in the zone you can completely not get to! With the stairs that are blocked off and everything! I literally started crying. My friend was trying to calm me down and everything. But I was like 'No! My Charon is not with me!!!'
So I go and do what I'm known for. Doing the impossible. I wandered the Wasteland looking for one of those barrels and literally kicked it all the way back to the Memorial and looked for a place to set it on vertically. That took me at least an hour real time then when I did and I somehow by the grace of whoever jumped up there I would have totally hugged Charon had I been in the game. I was like 'Don't you ever leave me again you hear me!?'
So yeah -is sheepish now- just wanted to see if anyone else had any strange moments like this happen to you guys in game. I thought I'd be the first one to toss the harpoon. If you've had any weird or strange moments happen, talk about them here! I wanna see if there are more strange things in the game that make you go 'Huh?' or just cry (like I kinda did with my Charon thing).
