Time-limited allies?

[zyzz]

I'm trying for the full house achievement and I have quite a few allies already, but I know some of them die if you don't get to them soon enough. Does anyone have a list of the allies that have a time limit on them?

Short answer is no. Do you know who you are missing? Some have "earliest AND latest" dates and some have restrictions on getting them as allies that are not time based.

Let me know who you're missing and what day you're at.

Right now I'm on Day 31 and missing Ulysses' people, plus Walter, Gillian, Nash, Parisa, Sir Charleston and Troy. I have max negotation and enough firepower to take care of Austin & the Militia, so my only real worries are that I'll be locked out of one of the allies on a time basis or I'll mess up Nash somehow if I go to get Parisa. On my first playthrough I pretty much told the military and militia both to go shove it, plus I restarted around day 60, so I have no idea how to do Nash recruitment properly.

Sir Charleston is not yet available, Troy may be - both are available as randomly encountered NPC's when you move on the map - and have no expiration date I know of. Troy will not be a random encounter if you wipe out the SoL (IIRC).

Gillian, Nash, and Parisa have no expiration dates - but they are located on maps that require you to "do" things on for them to join you. You can get both Nash and Parisa, IIRC, by talking to Nash and then not wiping out the refinery AND only wiping out the HQ to free Parisa. Nash will show up at your shelter when the Military clears it out.

U's people you have to meet where and when he says when he shows up at the shelter AND you have to talk him into it with Negotiation 8.

Walter you cannot miss - he will come to you... very late game (starts the end).

Thanks for the advice, I managed to get Nash & Parisa in the same save. Although, it seems like it's not meant to be allowed, haha. You get the achievement when you get the second-to-last survivor, and the Nash recruitment is the opposite of sensible considering what you have to do to recruit Parisa. Oh well!

One of the devs mentioned there's currently a bug with the achievement - it goes by number of survivors and it counts you and if you deal with Sir Charleston's issues it counts him a second time so you can get away with missing a few and still get it.
