Funny Things Your Companions Have Done?

Post » Sun Jan 17, 2016 6:40 pm

I tried looking for a thread and couldn't find one that was recent, but apologies if I missed it and this is a repost. The first one I'll put in spoiler tags because it's an indirect spoiler for the companion's quest.




Spoiler
I was in Hubris Comics to get the Shroud costume with Curie by my side. I start sneaking around and then a feral turns the corner. Before I can react, my lovely French ladyfriend comes out of nowhere and goes Paul Bunyan on the ghoul with Grognak's Axe. Mind you, I had not equipped her with it...I hadn't even unlocked the case it's in yet. She just ganked it out of the case without my help and started wreaking havoc. It was hilarious :P



Really wish I had flashback recording enabled on my capture for that one lol



Another time, I was walking around a junkyard in the northwest with Piper and I stopped to just look around, so she wandered off a bit. Next thing I know, I hear a series of loud noises and see Piper come running around a wall of garbage towards me being followed by about half a dozen molerats, which immediately shift their focus on me and just snack on my flash. Real cool, Piper. Real [censored] cool. It was weird though, because I had never seen a companion run from an enemy. Probably just a weird series of events that I doubt I could reenact if I tried.



Any of you have any fun companion stories from your adventures through the Commonwealth?

I just wish I had recorded or taken a picture.





*In the Railroad hq. Destamona leaning over that center table as she does and Valentine decides "Im just going to use her as a back rest for my invisible chair" and just sits down leaning against her. Look perfect.

I was sneaking through a building trying creep up on a raider that had a fatman. Nick was sneaking behind me and it was all going ok so far. Soon as we get to the outside of the room the raider was in, Nick decides to stand up and waltz into the room mentioning something about watching his back while he runs a diagnostic. Fatman explodes and I get a loading screen. Thanks Nick!



Was playing yesterday and was doing melee combat on a supermutant with a sledgehammer and had dogmeat with me. I`m getting railed with a super sledge and I wonder where the frig dogmeat is so I pan the camera a little and he`s like 10 feet away doing his trick sitting up on his back legs. I couldn`t help but laugh, man best friend my ass.

Can't think of any great follower moments at the momentito, but I was just about to gank a sleeping enemy earlier this evening, combat knife poised and ready to strike, when the radio on their nightstand began playing "It's all over but the crying". Brought a huge grin to my gnarled killer's face. Random thought- you'd think that the Super Mutant Army leaders would have eliminated the position of Suicide Nuker 1st Class, by now, for morale purposes. Even the average super mutant grunt couldn't possibly be dumb enough to charge into battle next to one of those dudes...

- When I started my survival playthrough I took dogmeat because I needed all the help I could get. I tried to scavenge the area around to see if I could find some stuff of value and I managed to get some mines. We suddenly find a bunch of molerats, but in this game enemies run away, and molerats runaway when they go underground. I was weak as [censored], so I ran away as fast as I could and I left dogmeat handling them.



I reach concord and dogmeat is not around, but I didnt pay mind to that, I just focused on preparing the area for the deathclaw battle that was about to happen and started to position the mines carefully where I needed them the most for a tactical choice. When I am done, dogmeat suddenly appears out of nowhere through the minefield, I was scared that he would activate all the mines and kill me; but I was lucky dogmeat didn't activate the mines, however the molerats he was fighting appeared from the underground blowing us up into pieces. Dogmeat didn't even kill them. [censored] stupid dog, I dismissed him right after that and haven't used him ever since.



- Codsworth on the other hand, is really useful and funny, he not only says my real name, he also pleases me with his witty comments and his arsenal of jokes he seems to say for no reason; his last joke to me was "I was in a zoo with only 1 dog it was a zhit tsu" or something like that, so he constantly makes me chuckle.



But I also noticed that companions seem to be really strong in survival mode, while in normal difficulty dogmeat died all the time, in survival dogmeat can kill enemies by himself, codsworth too, he can defeat at least 2 or 3 enemies before going down if I don't attack at all. So I took him with me for the whole run. With that in mind I went to rescue a kidnapped villager, and I was trying to be really careful because only 1 hit could kill me.



The first thing I see is a turret, I see some raiders in the floor above, and I hear some others downstairs, my plan is to send codsworth to destroy the turret first because it will be the most problematic, so I talk to codsworth aim at the turret and I only get the option to "inspect turret" wtf, I think it's a glitch but I supose that sending codsworth will make it hostile towards and he will try to defend himself, Codsworth goes to the turret, turns all the enemies around hostile after him, and then comes back pulling the aggro of at least 4 raiders. They all kill me.



Knowing codsworth is useless agaisnt the turret, I try to order him to go to the area instead of inspecting the turret, it has worked before, so I command Codsworth to go in front of the raiders this time, hoping he would defend himself, but no, Codsworth simply says "as you say!" and goes there, but comes back pulling all the [censored] raiders to me again. They all one shot me. I die.



I think of a different approach this time since I remember reading on the forums that companions need extra commands, I send codsworth to the area in front of the raiders and after he's in the area I command him to stay. And he obeys. But he doesn't even [censored] attack!!, all the raiders, and turrets start [censored] his ass while he does absolutely nothing to fight back. They knock him down, and luckily for me since I was in the distance they didn't find me. I only needed to wait for codsworth to recover and try again. So I wait, and wait, and wait.... Until Codsworth is back to normal, then he suddenly returns!, and all enemies start following him. They all shoot me dead again.



So well it's not Codsworth's fault right?, he's just a robot programmed with a poor AI, I decide to fix my plan after dying so many times by placing mines in the way of the raiders that Codsworth will surely pull to me. So I get in the process of carefully placing mines, when suddenly the [censored] codsworth feels like wanting to attack them and he pulls one of the closest raiders that activates the mines and [censored] kill me. At that time I felt so pissed, why is Codsworth messing so much with me, he became even more annoying than dogmeat.



So well I say [censored] Codsworth you know what, go to that area and I will just blow up your ass, I send Codsworth to the raiders area and ask him to wait, but I join the raiders and throw a bunch of grenades to kill codsworth, the turret, the raiders, and everything else in the area. When Codsworth wakes up he wants to talk to me and he asks me if I even consider him family, I was just laughing my ass off.

I had just finished retrieving a family sword that had been stolen from one of the settlements (I think abernathy cant remember). I have my wild chic Cait with me. I love Cait, I really do but she really (censored) the pooch on this one. So it's the middle of the night by the time we get back to the farm. Everyone is sleeping. There was a son a mother and a father. The father is the one that asked me to get the sword back. So we both walk in their little shack. The mother and father are sleeping on their beds to the left of me and the son is sleeping on the right. I figure there are a couple items laying around that they dont really need so I began helping myself to them. I manage to steel quite a lot of stuff but when the son wakes up and sees me stealing things take a turn for the worse. He gets up all mad and accusing me of stealing which wakes up his parents. I pull my 44. out and tell him to back off and that he doesnt know what he saw. The dad is tryjng to diffuse the situation telling everyone to just calm down but the son doesnt want to hear it. Thats when Cait decided (censore) all the talking lets just kill these people and take everything they got. She pulls her double barrel out and blasts the son from existence forcing the parents to defend themselves which forced me to kill them as well. Sighh oh Cait...

I love/hate how Dogmeat magically teleports to a doghouse in mid process of placing it. Dogmeat gltches in general are pretty funny the first time you see them.. Not so much the 100th time though.
