Also, to aid in the search, build doghouses in your settlements and fast travel between them. He kinda roams around freely, but if there's a doghouse, he tends to lay in it a lot.

You might have dismissed him, like you said, but clicked on a place to send him without seeing where that was. I've had that come up a couple of times (with a different companion), only to see them chilling in Hangman Alley which is cool, because the town footprint at the time was pretty small. Black guy in a tri-cornered hat is easy to spot in a small village of 4 white NPCs. Seems to be a small hit-or-miss dialogue bug, and I hope that's what happened as opposed to you making him wait somewhere. But even if you did that, (speculation, ahoy) and given you picked up another follower, he would likely default return to the truck stop, so I'd build the first of the doghouses there.

On the subject of markers: yeah, this game could do with more of them. It shows, for example, the last power armor you got in, but you have to remember where you parked the rest yourself. Local maps no longer show entrances or landmarks, even with the place previously visited on the world map. I don't like not being able to at least see enemies when they're non hostile. Red dots show up, on the HUD compass, but disappear when they quit looking for you.

On the subject of friends: Strong is weird to befriend. I keep doing shit he doesn't like (which seems to be just about everything), but suddenly he tells me he respects me? Is he Bizzaro?
