Sticky

Sticky was a former resident of Little Lamplight but when he turned 16/18 years old, he was forced to leave, as all children of the town must eventually do, in 2277.

Occupation and activities
Before the quest, A Sticky Situation, he can be found in Little Lamplight. After the quest, he will live in Big Town.

Interactions with the Lone Wanderer
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 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, with a very difficult Speech check.

Behind the scenes

 * Some folks summarize that Sticky is the Fallout 3 version of Oblivion's Adoring Fan (for better or worse). He is given the nickname "The Annoying Man," in contrast to Oblivion's Adoring Fan. 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.

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. (unconfirmed)


 * Sticky sets off the mines the residents of Big Town set up (inside the town walls of all places). (unconfirmed)


 * If you enter Vault 87 with Sticky as follower then (assuming you don't go out again) after you have escaped from Raven Rock he will come to your rescue instead of Fawkes. This however makes it impossible to receive Fawkes. (confirmed on 360)


 * For some users, after escaping Raven Rock, both Sticky and Fawkes come to the rescue and you still have the ability to ally with Fawkes. (confirmed 360)


 * It's possible for sticky to get stuck in oasis. If you go there with him and do the mission while he waits, he will be unable to leave once you ask him to rejoin you. He will still follow you to the main door but will not exit. (unconfirmed)


 * Sometimes if you walk past Sticky while he's leaning against the wall in Little Lamplight, he'll say "Those assholes in Little Lamplight said this place was great" like he's in Big Town. (unconfirmed)


 * If you choose to use Sticky as a follower, it is not recommended that you give him any armor or weapons that you wish to keep. Sticky may decide to run away during battle-never to be seen again- if he gets too frightened. (unconfirmed)


 * Sticky will continue to ask about Red even after she has been returned to Big Town. (unconfirmed)
