Companions

[Egor17]

Who is your favourite companion.

I can never decide so installed Companion Vault. Well worth having even if just for the swimming pool.

I now have at least 6 mod companions and some vanilla that call the vault home.

Now I take 2 or 3 with me while exploring or doing a quest.

My favourites at the moment are new Alice and big sister Amanda. I really like the little comments they make while killing.

"ooaw That was messy" Being at level 30+ I have some very unforgiving weapons. So every time she says that I say "Err.. Ya think!"

I tend to get totally immersed in my games.

Fawkes now lives in the vault too. Just told him to wait there. Now most times I go back he's swimming in the pool!

I didn't think he had a sandbox set.

 

I'm not a dog person and Dogmeat got real annoying real fast. Spoiling sneaks and setting off traps. He now resides at the entrance to 101.

When I start a new game he'll stay in the scrappy.

I don't use vanilla NPCs for companions. I do have Brisa, Brooke and Amata's younger sister, Ariana, as well as one from the Mesme mod.

 

These four are with me always. I have also used Mesme and Nos RR Companions to populate Vault 1, Rivet City, The Citadel and Megaton.

 

I added gepalladium's Jessi and placed her in Rivet City. All told, I think I have added about 50 extra NPCs to the game.

GePalladium's, Kayla mod is the best one out there, if you ask me. Has every option you could want in a companion. As far as dogmeat goes... there are plenty of mods out there, to make him much more usable (controllable) as a companion. For instance there's Arkngt's, Dogmeat whistle, and Dogmeat distant mods. Arkngt also recommends a few other mods to use on his description page. I use those as well. In fact, I never used dogmeat until employing these mods. Now, I can't go any place without my dawgie.
