shinobigarth Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 a few questions about this particular achievement. 1. is it possible for a follower to die without my involvement? like before i even meet one of them, they end up getting killed by another NPC or something? 2. all i have to do is just recruit them once, and then i can dismiss them or let them die and it'll still go towards the chievey? 3. is their AI actually useful at all in combat?

MrStabby1981 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Only just picked this game out my pile and only recruited Boone somtimes enemy's just explode with him shooting them before I see them. He's got me out of a couple scrapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinobigarth Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yeah i just got Boone as well and he does a pretty good job. Granted I'm on the lowest difficulty but he has a nice hit chance. I still want a follower that does melee or other close up weapons and hunts down enemies but Boone is great for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelumarcel Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I dont think they can die before you meet them, if your not playing hardcore mode then i think they cant die at all, just faint. If you dismiss them early in the game they'll return to their original spot, you can always recruit them again. Boone is one of the good ones, as long as you'll have to stay on the NCR's good side though, going against them will make him leave if i recall.

Jack Frost Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Recruit Boone and ED-E. They'll kill everything and ED-E can carry a lot of stuff for you, too. If you get all of his upgrades from Lonesome Road, ED-E will be Deathbot-9000 leaving piles of ash for you to loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castisass Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 they only way companions can die in non hardcore mode is during the white glove mission where they ask you to put someone in their meat freezer. if i recall you have the option of putting one of your companions in it.

Chaz Of Sparta Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 1) On normal mode, companions cannot die so you have nothing to worry about there. 2) Yes, they'll count as long as you've recruited them at some point in the game. 3) Yep, definetly. I used Veronica and ED-E a lot and they've both been very helpful (Veronica was a very good distraction for cazadores and other enemies when I was a low level ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x MOOSE 187 x Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 They're all useful imo, EDE with Lonesome Road upgrades is Claptrap on Crack, Rex is probably my favorite, him being a badass dog and all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggD Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You guys like ED-E that much? Eh. Veronica. Give her the Pushy (unique displacer glove) and also give her T-51b Power Armor (or T-45d if you want) and she's literally unstoppable. She'll punch even the mightiest Deathclaws to death in about three quick hits She's beautiful. But…then there's always Boone. Give him Riot Gear or NCR Ranger Gear and the Gobi Campaign Rifle…nothing will EVER get within 20 feet of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED-E has no emotions, just death. Aye I heard that on Veronica, I love hearing hear power fist in the distance and 40xp come up on my HUD, Fearless.

Aye I heard that on Veronica, I love hearing hear power fist in the distance and 40xp come up on my HUD, Fearless. Just don't talk to him. Problem solved Ha! Love that feeling as well. I've looked around for good builds for the other Companions...the best I found were: Cass + Riot Shotgun (gear doesn't matter I guess…Cass is a drunk bitch anyways LOL). Arcade + Pew Pew OR Multiplas Rifle + Power Armor (I don't really like him though). Then…well…Rex and Raul are useless as hell and Lily's a melee character, but Veronica overpowers Lily.

havocofsmeg Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 1) On normal mode, companions cannot die so you have nothing to worry about there. The one exception to this is when you have Cass as a companion and go into the Van Graffs, in which case she'll be gunned down as soon as you enter.

shinobigarth Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 ok so guys, I've gotten everyone except Cass, who i couldn't get at first cause of low Speech, now i have high enough but she attacks me on sight. i think my karma probably went lower so I cleared out Vault 3 and have been killing lots of fiends and ghouls but still only Evil and i need help figuring out how to recruit her.

BBL2R Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The non-human race companions in NV are so freaking useless, I never used them at all. And I think the only possible way for your companion to die permanently is to play the game in Hardcore Mode. If you hate them that much just recruit them and take 'em to Death-claw Promontory.

I only ever bring Boone if I bring anyone with me. Sometimes the dog. Boones the only one that gets anything done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
