Sticky

Sticky (also called "The Annoying Man", a name similar to The Elder Scrolls Of Oblivion's The Adoring Fan) 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 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.



Sticky as a Follower
Some players may choose to keep Sticky as a follower, and never set foot in Big Town. Although best used as a pack mule, Sticky can defend himself adequately if properly equipped. Despite this his usefulness in combat is still very limited compared to a "real"

Trivia

 * Some folks surmise 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.


 * You can find another hat like Sticky's in Lock n' Load in Paradise Falls. A skeleton is wearing it in a cage, but you can't pick it up. There is also a ghoul named Gallo in Sewer Waystation with a party hat. Which you can get by killing him.

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.* 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.


 * 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.


 * 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.
