if you tell her to stay close in the companion wheel she says (if youre male) "as long as you turn into a long legged brunnette"


Does she say something suggestive if a female asks her to stay close?

I had 6 CHA and Boone missed 70% of his shots and the one's he did land weren't even that powerful.
He had the personality of a cardboard cutout.
His personal quest was too much pain in the ass to start.
He looks like he has a melon in his cheeks.
I really tried to have him with me for my NCR playthrough but that bastard was so boring and crap in combat that I just snapped and told him to [censored] off and went and got Arcade instead.
And man am I glad I got Arcade instead!


Gabriel,

I'm not much into companions, least of all Boone as he's a drip. However I cannot lie, the one time I used him as a companion on my unpatched Xbox, he was a ball of fire in combat. I finally got rid of him because I wanted to shoot someone.

Well that and he's a pouting b*tch. :D

You do lose the perk if you fire them to the Lucky 38, since you have the mod you can just make them wait and do sandbox mode. You should make them go to the lucky 38 only if you are in front of or inside 38 or else they could die.



With the patch, they no longer walk back home but teleport so the Wasteland will not Waste them.

Arcade and Veronica are my favorite all around characters, because I find their stories interesting and their personalities awesome. I really like Cass in concept, but I've only used her through one playthrough so thats saying something. Also, I won't take some characters depending on my karma intentions for roleplay purposes.

Good Karma: Veronica, Arcade,
Neutral Karma: Boone, Cass, Raul, Rex
Bad Karma: Lily, Raul, Rex

I'll take Boone and ED-E with any karma, but not if I'm playing for Legion.

I also really like pairing with companions, so if I'm playing a cowboy I'll either take Raul or Cass, soldier I'll take Boone, etc.

Out of the companions that I have traveled with (Dogmeat Rex, Cass, Arcade, Raul, ED-e, and briefly Lilly) My favs are Rex and Raul. A little R&R never hurt :whistling:

I think God will be my new favorite companion though. (Well, depending on what his personality is like and if I can bring him back from Dead Money)

Rex is the best. I liked him and his personal quest was also good. Not to mention that a Fallout game without a dog is not a real Fallout game.

Mine's Veronica. She's like the dorky girlfriend I wish I had. It's funny I remember when I first met her in 188, I was like bleh. I remember killing some Fiend for their eyeglasses. I gave it her, she put it on, and I was like, "Wow, she's cute."

Too bad she likes girls and too bad she isn't real.

Arcade Gannon and Rex

There's nothing like having an ex-enclave cynic that can back up his words with a plasma defender and then power armor.

Also Rexxie's takedown move rocks, and his loot spotting perk helped immensely after some of those big fire-fights. Not to mention, if you're playing a sniper character, you tend to forget where some of those corpses ended up, especially in the middle of the wasteland. Plus who doesn't like cyborg dog, anyway?

Veronica, i wish she would lose the hood though

Metal armor and Fiend Warrior Helmet. She looks amazing.

You are not getting this wiki thing. Actually Lily is the strongest. Cass is as strong as Boone.

No, no ... here's a great pic of Veronica: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8465/veroelitescribesrobe.jpg She's my favorite, though Cass is great, too. Cass cracks me up with some of the outrageously vulgar things she says ...

That's very nice. Legion armor I'm guessing.

Am I the only one where they don't do this, even with the new patch? I must be glitched. Not that I've tested it thoroughly. Maybe I'm only half-glitched....

All the homosixual ones :P and Rex, I like Dogs.

I've used most of them, but I like Arcade for his dry sarcasm and epic quest rewards, and Veronica for being able to brighten anyones day :) Boone is an emo cardboard-cut GI that is no fun to have around. Lily is annoying, Cass just seems... bad... and she isn't my type of girl at all. E-DE blows. Raul is my 3rd fav, the Ghoul has class.

ED-E is crap.
Rex is crap.

Yeah being able to let you see foes on your radar from beyond scope range is such a horrible bonus and a dog who deals up to 100dmg per strike before companion nerve or the right brain is crap.

Initially my favourite was Cass, but I have to say that Veronica is even better. Also Lily is greatly entertaining. Grandma needs a bigger paddle for this behind!

I find Boone severely depressing and ED-E and Rex a tad boring. Arcade, Cass and Raul are still fun, but at this point I mostly enjoy traveling with Veronica.

Boone's the best and when he thanks you after you help him with his personal torment, he's a changed man and you feel really good about it. His story is the most compelling. Next would be ED-E and the two together keep you safe. One sees things from far and the other can handle it from far so if you don't want to get close, you don't have to. If your playstyle is that you want all the kills, don't choose them together because you won't get much. I don't want all the kills and I wish theirs didn't tally up on mine. :) Sometimes ED-E goes postal on enemies after the weapon upgrade and it's got to be seen. boom, boom, boom, boom!

Arcade is next; he's just fantastic and fearless and funny and he was a real hero in my only endgame. I miss him and will travel with him again soon.

Raul is great, doing his personal quest now; his story touches me too. I have jury rigging so his skills are most useful with weapons and he deals with enemies before Boone can get them because he charges right in after them. (Unlimited Companions mod being used.)

Lily was sweet but a little brutal in her battle style and I think she nailed me a few times, surprised my head is still on. I'll travel with her again though.

Rex was also sweet and I loved his perk but when he sits down, you have to go back and find him too much so I took him back to The King.

Cass was completely awesome in Vault 34 and can get wild with that dynamite out in the open. Don't get in front of her. Her comments are funny too. I don't use her perk much but I should because it's a good one.

Veronica was very sweet and I liked having her perk. I had done the BOS questline alone first and then with her and the BOS weren't so difficult that you have to have her with you. Her combat style doesn't fit my first choice but I liked her on ranged. I still need to get her that dress she wants but I haven't been to the UltraLuxe yet. The people there are so creepy!

The companions, and the exploring, are my favorite part of the game. :)
