What's your fav. Companion

Post » Tue Nov 11, 2008 4:06 pm

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.

They're still crap.

Deputy Beagle. /EndofThread

Me: What's your take on our current situation, Deputy?

Beagle: There's an old saying in Nipton--I know it's in Primm, probably in Nipton--that says, fool me once, shame on ... shame on you.... Fool me--you can't get fooled again.



Ok, not really. You *are* pulling our legs, right?

Also Lily is greatly entertaining. Grandma needs a bigger paddle for this behind!

I'm tempted to make Lilly a Companion just so I can hear that line :laugh:

I threatened/forced Beagle to be my companion for that short period once. I can't remember if he actually says that line, tho...I've never done it again, since I don't actually need his help.

So far veronica is all i could put up with. Plus she doesnt care if i kill everybody. I did ditch her for a little bit so i could use arcade for his quest, then i killed him and gave his armor to veronica :]


On a side note, does veronica ever try on her dress? I gave her versa's outfit(spelling/name?) and she got all happy and said she love it and will try it on later.

No, the dress isn't better DT than her default armor so she'll never wear it in an unmodded game.

Probably Veronica. When her quest triggered and her dialogue finished with "I think I want to go home," I believe I felt my heart break a little. I think she and Raul have the best voice actors. With T-51 armor and Pushy, Veronica has been pretty dominant. (Although her lower health cap made it a challenge for her to survive Legate's Camp on Very Hard.)

Non-humanoid: ED-E with the armor upgrade has been great. A good pack mule with a great perk. Haven't used Rex much but because he doesn't have a ranged attack I think he would die too easily (hardcoe). And it sounds like his armor upgrade is bugged.

Lily with Oh, Baby! and her massive health gets it done, too.

Raul's repair exploit was really handy for making a large amount of caps and getting my armor maxed. But I don't care about his perk as much as it sounds like others do. Weapon repair kits are easy to make.

I gotta say Veronica and rex. Veronica becuase of funny dialogue and because of her ability to smash cazadors.
Rex because of his ability to carry power amour. :celebration:

I prefer Boone with ED-E pretty good perks to snipe them guys from afar with Mr. Gobi :)

Thou Boone annoys me with him blabing abut my ammo usage <.<

I dont like raul because who needs his perk i got jury rigging and make weapon repair kits for non-repairable weapons.

Veronica is my 2nd favorite because she can actully use a ranged attack and have a force with a ballistic fist.

Make sure not to hand Boone explosives ,he likes to throw them at ranges up to 5 ft.

I got the most enjoyment out of Lily. I just love that old lady. And most forgiving. I don't know how many times I shot her in the back of the head, but she still treats me like one of her kids. But on a purely practical level I'd have to go with Boone or Ed E. I sometimes forget and put a stack of grenades on Boone. They should have named him Boom.

Boone is the best. He hated me at first but since I've sided with NCR, he's gotten around to be my buddy. His inventory is screwed up because when he's equipping a sniper rifle, his inventory only show a service rifle. Unless he's got a scope mod, which I doubt. I've had to leave him behind at 38 for Cass. He's really great, though with his 1st recon upgrade. But he's an even better companion coupled with E-DE's laser upgrade. They make a dynamic duo, those two.

Lily is great but I saw Ronnie take on five deathclaws and killed them one by one with her power fist so she's a close second. We need a hot guy though, we never get any love :(

Boone is almost "to good". He always snipes baddies from miles away, even before I even know they are there. Plus he always steals kills from me. No big deal, but come on! Save some kills for me! So, recently I switched to Veronica. Wanted someone not quite as good, plus, I wanted to meet the Brotherhood of Steel.

Veronica is finally free in my current playthru, because I killed off the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149186-moded-fallout-new-vegas-screenshot-thread-5/page__view__findpost__p__16897623 http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149186-moded-fallout-new-vegas-screenshot-thread-5/page__view__findpost__p__16911561. And she's still a companion.
