Not sure what the right section is for this, but, I was wondering, if companion default headgear could be set at the lowest priority for them to wear.

This way, if you want them to wear the 1st recon hat, instead of whatever crap default hat they have, they will put it on.

Main reason, I want Raul to wear first recon hat, but, the way I want to play, he will end up with a default hat.

I do not really want to have to use console commands.

Also, I think console commands mess with steam achievements, not that I really care.

Not a huge issue, just putting it out there.

Sounds like your on the PC so just get a mod that does it. its a real simple one that doesn't need mod manager, NVSE, or ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated.

This one will do the trick: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36220

You can access all of their items trough the inventory screen with that.

Sadly I'm on a PS3 and can't fix this though mods, but yeah, it's annoying that I can't get Veronica to wear a fully repaired Recon helmet to match her T-45 or T-51 PA because she keeps defaulting to that ugly druid hood.

I'm having the same problem with Cass and that often mismatched Rattan Cowboy hat.

Why can't they have removable gear like Boone instead of that obtrusive default armor? Don't get me started on Lily's grandma gear! I wish I could get her to wear standard super mutant or nightkin gear instead!!!

Lily's armor is part of her model. It's not actual armor.

Yeah, it's was the same with Fawkes in FO3 i think, great companion but the ripped vault suit is just ugly...

Please give us option to change their hats. I am really pissed at Cass hat. I want to give her Desperado or some beret, but she always end up using her default hat.

Fashion isn't always the at the forefront in the wasteland. I like Lily's outfit, it adds to her character and its all hilarious.

True, it does fit her character as a schizo granny/nightkin.

Really though, it's less about fashion and more about variation.

I like being able to get better default gear such as Raul's Vaquero outfit and Boone's 1st Recon gear after you do their respective companion quests and I kind of wish Lily has something similar.

That sounds like a glitch or something, I have Veronica and have had her wear full T45 power armor (helmet and armor). My girlfriend currently has her walking around in some sort of riot helmet. We're on the XBox though.

The combat and the PA helmets work fine. I think the Recon Armor helmet is bugged with the followers who have default head gear

Yeah, I mean, however they wanna do it. Most of the armor you would want your companion to wear will already over-ride their default armor, but not so with hats.

I mean, Raul should be better with certain guns with the Vaquero outfit, but, because he can not wear the 1st recon hat, he is pretty much worse with all weapons.

Plus full maintenance is said to not be working at the moment. Going full maintenance is how I got around it in my first playthrough. Do not really wanna do it again, even more so if it is not working.


Although if they put text into the game with Raul telling me to use console commands to remove his hat, I will accept that as a fix... lol.
