Strange Sarah State.

[Dr. Electrocutioner]

I was on my way to accept Sarah's offer to go on a mission when I noticed the Freestar Collective embassy and decided to check it out. The guadd started shooting at me for no apparent reason so I shot back.

This caused a misunderstanding with the local constabulary during which I killed 11 of them and destroyed one of their robots.

After that I joined up with Sarah and she hilariously said something like "Don't bring the UC police to our doorstep". Picked up Vasco on the way out the door and headed for the ship.

There were some harsh words spoken along the way and a minor scuffle where I shot a cop down in the street. Sarah said she would no longer be my companion but Vasco was cool with it so we made it to the ship and escaped from UC space.

Now here's the odd part; Sarah still shows up as a member of my crew, but is unassigned and I get a message saying I can't assign her at this time. Somehow she is still my follower even after saying she was leaving.

For role playing purposes I will pretend she was arrested for my crimes until I can get a ship that is good enough to fight my way back to Jemison since paying the bounty is not going to happen.

Lol! There is a lot of that kind of thing in Starfield. If you side with Crimson, it breaks some quests completely. Disjointed quests made by different groups, and then not figured out how to handle it throughout the game.

Typical woman mate, never mean what they say.
Just smile and agree has worked for me for the last 20 years.

Your're right, Sarah, be a dear and make me a sandwich and bring a beer, please.

[Dr. Electrocutioner]

No spoilers please but now I have to figure out how to join the pirates.

Paid off the minor Freestar bounty for killing the security guard so only the UC hates me.

I love the fact that my game has gone off rails and I am prevented from doing the obvious main quest line.

Funny thing. I captured a pirate ship with a brig, flew it to the nearest spaceport to get rid of it. But before doing so I decided to have a look around the ship and Sarah was in prison, I decided to keep the ship.

Many of "friendly fire" oopsies here to get immediately vaporized by SEC when leaving a planet.

This kind of stuff is what makes the game great. Haters who obsess over loading screens or polygon counts just don't understand.

Everything about Sarah is strange, she is the worst companion NPC that I have ever come across. My entire game improved when I threw Constellation people off of my ship!

Vasco seems tolerable so far but the repetitive voice lines of any follower in any game annoy me after awhile.

Just hire one dude/dudess as a sidekick ... what I did. They remain silent for the most part.

Might be useful to give them a melee weapon and use them as a meat shield.

I kept Vasco at the ramp.

Had something eerily similar happen to me in Crucible last night. Where all the characters in the settlement became hostile. You could have just reloaded a five minute old auto save, and it would have fixed the bug most likely.
