Fallout 2-Problem with Sulik

Giax

It Wandered In From the Wastes
I was exploring Vault 8 and suddenly I realized Sulik and Vic, my only companions if we except Cassidy, seemed to have stopped following me: they just remained at the brink of the map, wich was the elevator in this case, without doing anything else. I tried to interact, and apparently they were behaving such as at some moment I gave them the order to wait me there. While I managed to "recruit" Vic back with no problems at all, Sulik just didn't want to talk, only repeating something like "You be no fren of mine, Grampy Bone said no talk to you". I tried to dig in some previous saves, but I wasn't able to find some sort of event wich would have explained the reason of his behaviour, and my research just managed to let me realize this kind of problem started happening to say the least when I returned to Vault City to complete the Gecko plant quest. All the data with Sulik being normal are simply too early in the game to reload, the latter almost a month before my actual point. He continues to follow me when I change area, apparently, and probably he would even start fighting when it is the moment, but not being allowed to manage his inventory and combat tactics seems pretty lame to me. And I can't hear his brilliant voiceacted lines, wich is always bad if you ask.
So, could it be some sort of bug, or most probably I fucked up something without even noticing? Consider I am playing with the 2.3.3 RP, currently my first playthrough with it on and second in total, so I am not what I would call an expert of the game whatsoever.
Thanks in advance for answers, and please keep in mind english is not my first language, so I would be grateful if you just could ignore my god-awful use of it.

Two things come to mind, your charisma may have dropped - but then they would say something like you having too many buds with you allready, or some such.

The "no fren of mine" thing happens if you have done something very evil, which Sulik would not approve of (happened to me the one and only time I massacred the "slags")
 
I have considered something like that second option myself. Thing is I indeed exterminated the Slags long time before this problem even popped out, but strangely enough Sulik had no remarkably reactions. Not him, and not a single one of the other buddies I carried at the time. It is also to note that I decided to eradicate the small "mole rats village" community for Stark just before heading to Gecko patching the plant up, so maybe that was the trigger. I conveniently have a save right in the middle of that battle - the aformentioned latter save -, tomorrow I'll check what happens in the aftermath, if Sulik starts to act eerie. Don't see why this would've affected Vic though, furthermore considering he immediately agreed to come back when asked.
 
Turns out it was actually an issue related with the massacre of the small community with molerats. I stopped attacking them and Sulik boy returned to act the way it alwas does. Oh well, guess now I have to recover some quests.
