So I just saw that article somewhere that revealed 8 or so companions.

Curiosity killed the cat on this one.

Does mean there's no more surprises in the companion department? Oh internet, damn you! :brokencomputer:

maybe their are more, they are just to awesome for pre release stuff. i want a talking deathclaw named sheldon with a northern england accent

I'm hoping there's at least one other non-humanoid companion to choose from as 2 seems rather limiting. I'm also hoping there's a humanoid companion that would befit the Caesar's Legion oriented player as none of the humanoids listed seem to be pro CL. The only one I can think off hand that probably wouldn't care one way or the other is Lily, and I'll probably rarely even use her since I don't usually make stealth based characters.

I'm really holding out hope that Marcus will be recruitable and they're just keeping it very hush hush. I'd love to have my old pal Marcus back in my posse. If he's not, I'm sure there will be a recruitable Marcus mod made soon after a GECK is released.

The nightkin granny (Lily, I think?) seems interesting, though I prefer my super mutants with all the subtlety of a punch in the face.

A recruitable Marcus mod totally needs to be done.

I hope there are more than just those companions. I do really like the look of them all, id just like to be surprised.



No self respecting Wastelander would spend time with a northerner.

Unless they've stated how many available companions are in the game, we really can't be sure if the companions who have been revealed so far are all our options or not. I hope they're not, though, as I want there to still be some room for surprises when the game is released. Not that I know who all eight currently revealed companions are anyway since I haven't read said article, but if I did read it, I wouldn't want what I saw to be all there is to the game's companions.

They sure spoiled that one. Of course they need to advertise their game but the number of companions is no reasion whatsoever to buy it.

There is still Azrael Babyroaster.

Or the burned man, anyone?

I'm pretty sure this is all of the companions... They follow the exact same pattern as FO3;
- 8 companions in total,
- 4 of them human (Butch, Jericho, Clover, and Cross),
- one supermutant,
- one ghoul,
- one dog,
- one robot.

There may be some temporary quest-related followers like Sticky, Sidney, etc., but it seems like wishful thinking to expect more companions after they've introduced these 8 in an article titled "Meet the Companions".

Except for Azreal, of course... he will be awesome!!

why?

This quote from Gstaff would indicate that these are ALL the permanent companions.

Maybe its under wraps? :shrug:

Well, Marcus was confirmed to be in New Vegas, whether alive or dead, if he were alive, they'd probably make him be a companion.

I don't know if this particular companion is listed, but apparently there is a companion that you can acquire in Primm...

But that may be one of those companions listed so I am not sure.

It's the Eyebot.

Oh, good. A list of people to avoid and/or kill.

Rumor has it that there's supposed to be 9 companions.

8 were revealed.

Discrepancy? Or a holdout? Time will tell.

Dogmeat better be in this game hahaha

I pretty much just gobble up anything Obsidian deems fit for public consumption. Interviews, character profiles, screenshots, videos, etc. I'm restless.

Nothing really becomes an inappropriate spoiler for me until the game starts getting leaked.


Thats the spirit!
