Lt. Carry Boyd from Camp McCarran.
I like here no bramindump aditude

Her weapons:
Ranged: automatic rifle
Melee: combat knife

Perk: Suppressing fire! all your automatic weapons are 30% more accurate.

iam bad with comming up with storys, maybe you can think of something ?

Benny! When you save his ass from the Legion.

Michael Angelo. With 100 speech you could convince him to come with you. As companion he'd be totally useless, constantly whining and lagging behind. That's what you get from trying to help everyone you meet. His companion quest would be the same thing as if accomplishing The Classic Inspiration quest.



Gotta admit she was well designed character. However when it comes to all military personnel, it doesn't make much sense why they would suddenly team up with the Courier. They are on duty and can't just come and go as they please. Especially Boyd, she's like the head MP in Camp Mccarran.

the Courier could hire her as a mercenary or something.

You can't just hire soldiers as mercenaries. They are on duty, it's not an ordinary job. That means they can't just quit until their service time is over or they get discharged.

cant the courier just buy her out just like the

SPOILER





crimson caravan girl

The difference is that Crimson caravan is a company, not an army. No idea how ncr army works in the micro scale but usually armies work in stiff and by the book manner. Surely there would be ways to make it look reasonable why Boyd would join courier during her service, but the point was that you can't just invite some on duty soldier to join you because of the binding nature of military service.

Erm... No?
How does that even work?
You can't "buy" a lieutenant out of the army.
The Misfits have an ending where they all get court marshaled and hanged for their disobedience.
The army doesn't work like their members can do whatever they want to do, neither Legion's or NCR's.

Would somebody PLEASE remind me why Benny isn't being discussed?

As for the Lieutenent...
Say there would be a part of a mission that gave you the oppurtunity do detach her from the NCR, and if you were an enemy of the NCR, and had a high speech, you'd be able to talk her out of it so MAYBE, she would just be a deserter, helping you take over Vegas, or get clearance from a higher rank. Those are just spitball ideas. If they're dumb or ramblish don't aknowledge them.

BUT STILL TALK ABOUT BENNY.

They do have Vertibirds and maybe after 4 years someone from DC might made it to the Mojave.

I'm not much of a benny fan but...

Benny

His upgarded perk is unlocked when the check is successfully passed.

Since there's so many posts about Sunny, http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37281

As far as people I would have liked as companions? Fortunately, the people I would have wanted most as companions (Veronica and Cass) actually are; nothing like Sydney in FO3. Ranger Andy would have made a good companion, as would have Lieutenant Boyd and Melissa.
Ideally, with the next game, I'd like every significant faction (i.e. Brotherhood, Gangers, NCR, Legion, House, Kings, Boomers, etc) to all have a recruitable companion.

Benny would have been GREAT too; I could never bring myself to kill him, he was just too damn classy.

That girl in new vegas, that runs the Vault Hotel.

OMG PEOPLE YOU ALREADY GET VICTOR AS A FREAKEN FOLLOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try something original like motor-runner geese perk:fiend rage increases melee weapon effectiveness by 100%
no hate comments on perk i made it up

We did? :huh:

yes you did in new vegas you talk to victor or something and he follows you if i had a cam id show you that he is my follower till i think i killed him but he still shows up as follower on my map!

No you don't, he might have helped you here and there while wandering and he may have glitched and appeared on the map like a companion would, but you don't get him as a real companion like ED-E or Boone, etc.

Meyers from the NCRCF, if he doesn't become the sheriff of Primm.

Weapons: -Ranged: Trail Carbine
-Melee: Police Baton

Perk: Lawbringer: when Meyers is with you,in combat you do +10% against Fiends, Jackals, Scorpions, Powder Gangers, Vipers and Cesar's Legion members.

And maybe a nice quest about how Meyers ended up in prison.

Boxcars should have been a companion.

"That man's eyeballing me if he doesn't stop I'm gonna Censored him up"

me myself and I lol i like to be by myself

Beatrix Russell
Guns, survival, speech.
Perk : Dominate do %30 moree damage to humanoid enemies, however people find ou cowboy, dominatrix, ghoul fetish a tad creepy - 10 for all speech and barter checks.

If Benny became a companion after being saved from the Fort, I think it would be fitting that he double-cross the Courier at the end of his side quest.

What Vegas needs is MORE robots:

Prim Slim - Automatically hostile to all Fiends, Khans, Powder Gangers. Bonus damage against said factions. After helping to recover a certain SMG, you would have the option for possible combat upgrades, his chassis is big enough that you could mod him with a Gatling laser or plasma defender.

Rhonda - Random Nightkin assistance is VATS, all Nightkin non hostile. Accuracy penalty for night time removed (is there one?). And as a great bonus, she would act as a permanent Black Mountain Radio repeater. The best of Rhonda and Tabitha in the mornings, all night long.

Fisto! - Bonus sneak melee damage from behind. Can equip any form of power fist variants.

On another note, It would be fun to have a NCR or Legion follower, who would turn on you in the end if you had a mixed rep. Just when you had the enemy boss dead, oh why did I give them an AMR and a 100 stims... doh!

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Anders

Faction: Great Khans.

Enemy: NCR, Legion.

Default gear: Great Khan simple armor, RCW, combat knife.

Recruitment: I found it a bit ridiculous that I couldn't just help him right away without having to start the quest by Jack and Diane.
So when you find him at Cottonwood Cove you can decide to cut him down, when he returns to Red Rock Canyon you can talk with him again and ask if he'd like some revenge on Legion?
He will think you're crazy and tell you jokingly "Heh, right, yeah I'll help you fight the most brutal army I've ever seen if you bring me 10 legionnaire armors."
Well, if you actually go out and collect 10 legionnaire armors and bring them back he will be shocked that you were able to do it.
But he'll start thinking about how he'd really want to get back at them and since the PC has proven themselves to him he will join them.
But the PC can't get him until 2 weeks after he's returned to RRC cause he needs to rest and heal up.

Perk: With Anders in your party you get diplomatic immunity with every single Fiend, Jackal and Viper in the wastes, you'll get a +30% discount with chems and he'll be able to give you 5 chems of your choosing every third day.

Personal quest: I'm probably going to expand on this a little later but right now I've just woken up and I don't feel like using my brain too much but let's just say that his personal quest has something to do with Boone, Cottonwood Cove, Omerta's and Oscar Velasco.
