Argh. Was really enjoying this game until I went into a little room in one of the bars in the first town and Sulik planted himself in the only exit. Nothing I've tried has gotten him to move, including changing his distance from me through dialogue. In F1 it seems like NPCs randomly wandered around so this wasn't as big of a problem, but even attacking him won't make him budge an inch. Any help? I've only quicksaved and will have to either kill him outright or start all over if I can't make him move. Very frustrated.

See if there's a shove option to move NPCs in the drop-down of action icons you get with a mouse click-and-hold.
In case that came out garbled (I think it may have,) I'll be more clear.
Y'know that little set of actions you get with a click-and-hold? One of them should be new to Fallout 2: The ability to push somebody around a bit.

Mackie, you're awesome! Thanks for saving my butt. That worked like a charm.

Probably the single best improvement to the interface between the two titles. Glad I could help.
