Sticky

Sticky was a former resident of Little Lamplight but when he turned 16 years old, he was forced to leave, as all children must eventually do. The player has the opportunity to escort Sticky to Big Town, which is where most of the evicted teenagers from Little Lamplight eventually end up. Sticky will follow the player and the player can be equip him with armor and weapons. Sticky has a bad habit of talking a lot during his escort, often coming up with repetitive stories. The player can tell him to shut up if he becomes too annoying. If you don't help escort him, he will commit suicide.

Sticky is friends with Red in Big Town. If you haven't done Big Trouble in Big Town quest yet and once the player escorts him to Big Town, the other residents will tell you that Red has been kidnapped by Super Mutants, but Sticky is not to be told because it will upset him.



Trivia

 * Some folks surmise that Sticky is the Fallout 3 version of Oblivion's Adoring Fan (for better or worse). Basically a freebie character that can tag along with the rest of your group, acting mostly as a pack-mule, since they usually require more protection than they provide.
 * Whether a bug or intentional, Sticky shut up for good once I told him to wait at my house in Megaton. He hasn't said one word since and I never ordered him with the speech dialogue. He hasn't spoken two words to me outside of the dialogue menu. Thankfully, he has stopped with his stories.

Bugs

 * There have been many complaints about Sticky failing to appear in the game at all. Even when using the console commands it is not possible to ever find him. Although the console commands appear to have worked, Sticky is never visible and you are unable to ever see or talk to him.


 * The first time I found Sticky he wouldn't say anything unless I talked to him. No stories for me or anything. I reloaded the game and he began talking again. This was on the Xbox 360.
