NPC's running away

EUIX

First time out of the vault
I loaded up Fallout 2 again the other day and I am having this problem. Not quite sure when it started but some time after I wacked AHS-9 in San Francisco. In anycase now everytime I get into combat Goris and Cassidy immediately run away. Like they have are very low on hp. But they are both maxed out. Also I noticed now that cassidy won't equip a weapon. I didn't touch his settings if you set on him on ranged or ranged then melee or whatever he just won't equip the pancor jackhammer. Any ideas? I had this problem before with Vic and I didn't know what to do so I just ditched him.
 
He propably has a crippled limb. Most propably his arm because he won't wield his weapon. "Examine" him, you know. Right-click-and-hold and select the examine icon (IIRC). Try using your doctor skill on him/them. Or if your doctor skill is bad take Lenny with you and let him try. Or use a doctor's bag / Trauma Kit ( Or whatever the other doc's bag's name is).

EDIT: Darn, typos. :roll:
 
Do you have the patch? I've had this problem before with Marcus running away sometimes, and I think I was unpatched. Not sure, though. Just so you know there IS a bug that will sometimes make NPCs run away, it seems.
 
I got into the same problem as you, and like lord 342 it was with Marcus. HOWEVER, I did find a way to fix it.

Talk to the cowarding NPC. Talk about gear and tell him to put his weapon away. Then go to combat setting and tell him to equip his best weapon, finally, assign him a defaut behavior and then go to combat. He should act normally now, so just give him custom behavior again.
