Permanent companions

Permanent companions require a few requisites to be met in order for them to join the player's party. For a few non-player character's, there is more than one possible way to have them join your party.

Goris Vault 13 Player asks him to join

Lenny Gecko Player reaches 'Accepted' reputation with Gecko or a Charisma of 9
Marcus Broken Hills Player asks him to join after completing certain quests in Broken Hills.

Myron Stables Player asks him to join
Pariah Dog Random encounter Player fails a LK check on the encounter map
Robodog New California Republic Player tests Dr. Henry's mutagen
Skynet Sierra Army Depot Player is willing to build Skynet himself; requires Bio Med Gel, a Robot motivator, and a Cybernetic Brain
Sulik Klamath Player pays his $350 debt or saves Smiley from the Toxic Caves. Must also not be a slaver.
Vic Den Player gives Metzger Vic's radio and pays $1000 or kills Metzger and all the slavers.

Companion controls

Fo2 Companion Controls

Combat controls dialogue box

Once an non-player character becomes the player's companion, their dialogue menu changes to a list of tactical and combat-oriented options. New from Fallout is a "Combat Control" button in dialogue, which lets you manually change an non-player character's armor, weapon, distance, and tactics.

The picture to the right is the in-game dialogue box for controlling companions. For permanent companions, the options are shown as follows:

Use Best Weapon

  • At first, this doesn't do anything, because the companions originally only carry their default weapon. However, the player may so gift them with a better weapon (and ammunition, for guns), then the non-player character will make use of that weapon instead. Alternatively, the companion can pick up weapons found on the ground.

Use Best Armor

  • This control acts the same as the one above; give the companion a better suit of armor, and they will equip it in place of their default armor, granting them the corresponding bonus to armor class.

Disposition

Fo2 Custom Companion Controls

Custom disposition dialogue

  • Berserk - The companion will always attack, never fleeing from battle, no matter the level their health drops to.
  • Aggressive - The companion will attack while their health is in an acceptably decent range. If it falls too low, they will ultimately flee from combat.
  • Defensive - The companion will be more mindful of their health, running when they are injured, even if just slightly.
  • Coward - The companion will always run from a battle they think they cannot handle, regardless of the opponents.
  • Custom - There are six options with 5 sub-options that can be chosen by the player concerning the non-player character's disposition. The possible options for each is listed below.
Custom disposition options
Burst Run Away Weapon Pref Distance Attack Who Chem Use
  1. Always!
  2. Sometimes, don't worry about hitting me
  3. Be sure you won't hit me
  4. Be careful not to hit me
