Where did Henry Cooke go?

I don't remember killing him, but people are complaining about me doing it

He was the one with the drug deal in Diamond City.

*SPOILERS*


Hes the guy who you can do that drug deal with in Diamond city at the taphouse.

You go with him at the deal, And kill everyone. Afterwards, he runs off into the sunset.

Sometimes tho something else will kill him after he leaves and the game will blame you for some reason. I think it's auto set to blame you for his death nomatter how he dies

I personally always kill him. Like he said, "No witnesses".

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, sometime after that mission there's a girl outside the Dugout Inn who talks to you about Cooke and where he went claiming she is his daughter. Other than that I don't think you hear anything from him again.

still a better love story that Twilight

There's a minor bug with this quest, even if Henry isn't killed, and leaves the Commonwealth, Collette will still act as if he was killed. This ends in one of two ways, a direct confrontation with Collette or Collette killing Paul (even if he wasn't present).

As far as I know, the only way (And the way I prefer to end this quest) to keep Paul Alive and not force a confrontation with Collette, is to ALLOW (not to do it yourself) Cooke to die in the gunfight. You can do this a few ways, though Cooke is actually a remarkably strong fighter despite having ♥♥♥♥ equipment. Make sure Cooke doesn't grab a better weapon.

Convince Cooke to go into combat first, he'll take severe damage and die pretty fast with everyone shooting him.

Conversly, you can have Cook die by Trish's hand, and this will change the dialog a little when confronting Collette, jsut tell her Cooke was killed, and that you don't know what happened. (If he's killed before confronting Trish by the Triggermen, there's a unique dialog response as well that's pretty cool)

There is so many variations of the options for Diamond City Blues.

Probably why the quest breaks so easily. But anyway, assuming Cooke survives the ambush, he attempts to walk to Bunker Hill, and if he makes it there he sits down in a chair and despawns a while later. As with Latimer, the game's handling for subsequent dialogues if the player didn't actually kill him leaves much to be desired, so it can be confusing trying to figure out why the hell your character feels compelled to take the blame for something that never happened.
