Fido Follows You Everywhere Fallout New Vegas Glitch Gains Modding Spotlight
Streamers on Reddit and YouTube pushed this quirk into view. View counts surged after easy fixes and clearer console commands made it reachable again.
Fido Follows You Everywhere Fallout New Vegas Glitch is an NPC following bug tied to dog companions and forced movement commands. This script oversight lets your canine partner stick close through most of the Mojave, acting like a permanent guide.
How the command chain locks Fido into position involves queued moves, fast travel, and dog AI priorities overlapping. Studies indicate the handler code fails to reset properly, so the game keeps the follower state active far longer than intended.
Players accept the quirk, enjoy the extra guard, and move on.
Can this break main quests or save files
Usually not, but odd pathing may trap Fido in walls or block brief dialogue triggers.
Does it work online or with certain mods
Local single player only; heavy follower overhauls or leash-style mods often disable the effect.
