They Shoulda Been Companions

Corporal Betsy. I like traveling with a sniper and I could take her around and let her have all the hits on the Fiends because she didn't have the chance to get Cook-Cook herself and she has demons to purge.

Yeah I'm sure the leader of a faction will just up and leave to serve under the command of a stranger. :mellow:

Pacer, he really make some drama with Courier.

As for Inculta being so popular, what about the guy who replace him in case you kill Inculta (I yet to kill Inculta in Nipton......he is kind of the bright side of Legion...)?

Yeah I kinda miss the fact that you don't have a securitron as a companion, Victor or Yes man, they so funny to watch and I 'm sure they could be quite effective in combat.
Also I was kinda surprised that you didn't had the opportunity to have a (former?) Caesar Legionnaire companion.
A shame about Ulysses, hope to see that dude later on.

Mick and/or Ralph would look pretty good in some leather armor.

Perk could be extra plus or minus 33% on all weapons/supplies you barter. :)

Generic NCR Trooper -

Loadout:
Service Rifle
Combat Knife.

Perk:
"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter."
You have a chance to find a Mini Nuke in any container, (starting at 1%) by "Patrolling the Mojave" you can increase this chance up to 5% max.
Based upon a step counter, that resets every time you open a container.
Fast travelling and walking inside the strip do not add to the counter.

If you are on PC, there is a very good mod that makes Sunny your companion. And you can elect to bring Cheyenne along, or leave her behind.

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37281

She talks (will respond to companion wheel commands), doesn't affect your companion limit and has a sandbox package for waiting. Her AI is a little wonky at times, but nothing game-breaking.

Neil- Better than Lily, imo. Where else do you find a Super Mutant with a deep, black man's voice? That alone makes him win. He could scare enemies, lowering their nerve, and making some weaker ones run.
Marcus- Should be epicly hard to get him to come, but it would be a nice blast from the past. He could make all Super Mutants and Nightkin encounters friendly.
Victor OR Yes Man's old body- Might be fun, and there are only 2 choices for robot companions. He could rig the slots to make you win more.
Vulpes Inculta- A Legion follower should exist, after all. He could improve Legion encounters and give Legion money over time.
Sarah Weintraub- Blonde, a Vault girl, and eager for six, and seems to know some good pickup lines. She could increase Charisma or make you well rested everywhere.
Anthony House- HE'S ALIVE!!!?!?! As a ghoul. And makes you invulnerable to traps and makes your traps (mines, etc) better.
Fisto- For the gay guys. Well rested everywhere lol.
Sunny Smiles- Yeah, but she isn't better than Cass. She could improve Guns or something, maybe make weaker guns more effective.

With Sunny, you get a free dog, too.

Beagle could be funny, kind of a Hudson character.

Bearing in mind the post that followed yours, maybe Vulpes Inculta could be accompanying you to assassinate you at the end -- Caesar uses you, but does he really consider you one of his faithful? I haven't played a Legion Character so I don't know if this is a viable idea.

Man, what would Fantastic's perk be? A minus to Repair? His comments would be funny, though.

+ luck

I think that Beatrix would be an interesting companion.
To get: 75% speech check or Cowboy perk.
Tag skills: Melee, Guns, Sneak
Perk: Power of Pain: Getting hurt gains you a momentary +10% damage bonus. And your AP regenerates 50% faster.

And also:
Rachel (the Boomers master at arms)
To get: Liked or better with Boomers (easy to do, really).
Tag Skills: Explosives, Guns, Melee
Perk: Artillery: +30 Explosives

How about the boomer that fails to gib you when you're sneaking into Nellis? He could volunteer to be your bodyguard after failing his post. A rocket launcher equipped companion would be great (well, maybe not great, they'd be overpowered and Rex would be toast, but novel at least.) His perk would be similar to scrounger, you find more ammo while he's in your party.

That giant ant south of Vegas would also be interesting. He wouldn't follow you into interior spaces, but would have a carrying capacity of a few thousand pounds.

The minigun toting, cow slaughtering nightkin outside of Novac - stable enough as a companion, but attacks brahmin on sight. +20% damage against animals as a perk.

Other than that, I'd like to second Dead Sea (there really needs to be a legion follower), Marcus and Neil, though I can't think of a plausible excuse for Marcus to leave Jacobstown.

Mean Sonofa[censored].

After helping out Westside or after passing a speech check, he should become your companion. I know we already have Lily, but she's a Nightkin. I prefer the original green Super Mutants :P

Perks: If he's your companion, you should get a perk which increases your Endurance by 2 points, reflecting Mean Sonofa[censored]'s character and what he went through when he was captured by the NCR.

Tomas: pass a speech check to convince him to hunt the sunset sarsaparilla caps and split the treasure.
perk: Coincidence?: Increase the likelihood of enemy mishaps such as weapon jams or mundane bad accuracy. also provides a chance for enemies to suffer catastrophic weapon failures that break the weapon and cripple any limbs involved in the weapons use,(imagine a super mutant getting ready to fire his missile launcher at you when, BOOM!, the missile detonates prematurely and the mutie is forced to flail at you with broken nubs for arms.)

The merc in McCarran. I think his name is Little Buster, not sure though.

Perks would be +50% Critical Hit Chance with all weapons and +30 Critical Hit Damage with Unarmed Weapons against all raiders (Vipers, Jackals, Fiends, and Great Khans)
