Also choose a weapon that's within the same group as their default one so they can get the best use out of it. – If you do choose to give your companion an alternate weapon, though, make sure to give them the appropriate ammo type for that weapon. – If you don't give your companion a weapon, your companion will choose their default weapon and you won't need to give them an ammo for him or her to use it. Make sure you follow what that companion likes and dislikes in your dialogue choices and gameplay actions (noted below). Sleeping with a Romanced companion will give you more bonus XP than just being well-rested with the Lover's Embrace temporary effect.
So long as your companion is human (or Curie), you can attempt to romance that companion by passing Charisma checks.
You can also invest in the Inspirational perk (Charisam 8 minimum) so that your companion can carry more items, resist damage, and be immune to your attacks and vice versa. Hey, companions can't die, so you might as well put that to good use.Įven if you choose to go solo, companions can be sent back to any one of your settlements where they can defend the lot against raiders. You can tell companions to enter areas or fetch items, becoming the main threat while you stay safe or behind cover. Many companions can unlock terminals and doors for you if you haven't invested in Lockpicking or Hacking. Why You Would Want A Companion (Plus Romances)Īs briefly stated before, companions provide lots of bonuses just by being there. You can also force the issue of not having any companion by gaining the Lone Wanderer perk (Charisma 3 minimum) which increases your maximum carrying weight and grants up to 25% general damage reduction if you go it alone. The other reason would be if you're generally playing an evil build where you enjoy massacring everyone in the game (only Strong approves of killing innocents). The game is mostly fine when it comes to companions not triggering sneak detection, but it can sometimes backfire and it can be difficult to disengage stealth when your companion is firing away. The main reason would be for stealth builds, where a companion can get caught in the line of fire with enemies.
But first, just to play devil's advocate, there are reasons for not having a companion.
