As far as I know, ya cant (maybe if ya tinker around in the games files, but nothing official)

I assume that since more locations has bigger crowds they thought it be distracting to swarm the compass with a marker for each NPC.

I use this mod, and will recommend it. I play with no HUD what so ever (still got it in the PA though), and found this very helpfull.

You can choose more or less which option you want, what HUD elements to be removed.

Megaton in F3 and Vegas in NV has big crowds. However...

Why I need marks on compass? I can't see who is friendly and who is hostile. I think I shooted many friendly NPC from sniper rifle... Who knows...

I suspect thats kinda a point, same reason enemies dont come up on the compass until they are attacking you, to not make it too easy.

Plus ya can easily see by entering vats, if the name and health meter is red its a hostile, if its another colour (which depends on ya settings) its a friendly.

Using vats instead of compass - it is artificial complication of the game.

I would like it at least on my companions, especially the mutt...half the time it says Dogmeat found something, he takes off and I lose him, and I can't target him in vats either.
