Is boone the ONLY companion who will wear what I give him?

Post » Mon Nov 02, 2009 3:02 am

Must say when I played on the 360 I didn't play with the companion side of things. Now on the PC I'm approaching the game different. So far it seems Boone is the only companion that will wear whatever I give him. Are there any mods that will allow this feature for all companions if its not a vanilla feature? If it is a vanilla feature WTH am I doing wrong?

The thing is, Arcade, Cass, and Veronica all wear 'unplayable' clothing with a 2-5 DT threshold, so you need to find clothing with a higher DT.

I always give my companions armor and that's always better than clothing so they wear it, no problem. Arcade gets the best armor since his health is the lowest.

Yep. As annoying as not being able to dictate your companion on what specific weapon to use or piece of clothing it's something your forced to deal with. I'm sure there's plenty of mods laying around to remedy this. But yes generally higher DT items than the characters base stuff and whatever other clothing and armor you might have them carrying insures they'll wear the specific thing.

I just made my own versions of favorite clothes and gave them 15-20DT. Problem solved.

But yes, Boone's the only one who can be taken down to his boxer shorts, but only until you do his personal quest. Then he needs armor w/more than 15DT to get him to change outfits.

He won't wear whatever you give him. I remember he threw a set of brotherhood PA back at me saying he refuses to wear faction armor. [censored] also turned my helmet into another armor somehow.

Woah really? Cause he definitely didn't have a problem wearing NCR ranger patrol armor when I gave it to him. Maybe it's just non-NCR factions? not sure

Boone is ex-NCR/NCR supportive, so he'll wear NCR armor. He won't wear any other faction armor tho. Other companions without such affiliation won't wear NCR armor.

That was the very first NV mod I installed, and I've used it ever since in my games. I originally got it so I could make ED-E carry the faction armors I had looted, and of course it can be used to make Veronica's horrible default outfit go away forever. It works great

Thanks for the help, DL'ing now. One more question( asking here so i don't flood the forum) is there a mod that allows companions to be killed in normal mode? I know thats a feature in HC, but I already played through HC on the 360.
