So how do you dress up your companions?

Since the only companion I actually use is Arcade, he's really the only one I bother customizing. With him I take his eyeglasses and give him reading glasses, then I give him reinforced combat armor, he looks like a COMPLETELY different person with that outfit, I also outfit him with a Hunting Shotgun and 150 shells :laugh:

I actually slap a hard hat and the combat armor on him as for some reason it just looks good , Also guilty of dressing Cass in Painspike armor and a Khan helm as it uhh appeals to me, and keeping Veronica in good old metal armor and helm..


Good heavens do I actually sound that lame

big sigh

I spent a good amount of time on trying to remove Veronica's hood. I gave her full power armour.

Boone i gave NCR wrap armour.

Can't give companions stuff with less DT than their default clothing so I can't dress them up the way I want to.

Ronie is easy, heh, I keep her in a tin can, she should stay fresh for years.

Cass, I give her the 3 variations of Raider outfits, she swaps between them as and when she chooses.

ED-E, runs around naked O_O Maybe I should implement my 'ED-E wears a hat" mod.

I usually keep Ronie on ranged attack using a revolver, it gives me time for a couple of a clear shots before she runs in, she's not too bad with a gun and it's great fun teasing her. And yes, she does have a hammer or fist for when things get up close and personal.

Cass gets the good guns, I'm usually EW so it saves me taking my life in my hands arguing with whiskey woman. She also has shades.

I leave ED-E with his menacing beep-beep attack or whatever it is he does, as if there was a choice

For me Veronica removed the hood and chose to wear a White Glove Society Mask, which wasn't really what I was going for, made he look like some psychopathic metal clown.
Arcade has on his basic clothing and Boone's beret.
Boone is... dead.
Cass is wearing raider armour with a centurion helmet.
Raul is wearing his Vaquero outfit.

My last playthrough I put all my companions in Combat Armor so I had my own squad of infantry. One designated Marksman (Boone), one CQB (Veronica), one combat lifesaver (Arcade), and one permadrunk soldier (Cass).

Boone's the only one who's a complete "paper doll" (will wear no-DT, no attribute clothes, minus faction stuff of course) and I've dressed him in EVERYTHING, including fancy dress hats, for lulz. But when you do his quest, his armor reward ruins it....unless you're on pc and can use the console 'resurrect' command to reset him back to his original grunt clothing. Which I do. Because I have a very serious addiction problem, and it's called http://crimsonkeep.com/wallpapers/data/media/33/falloutNV-492a.jpg I could use a Boone-aholic Anonymous. Is there one?

But yeah, generally speaking, I put all followers into combat armor, either the regular 15DT or the black 17DT. Or recon armor, same DT. But recon armor by itself looks stupid, especially on Arcade. I don't always give them helmets, because I like seeing faces rather than helmet shields or whatnot. Since they all use the same body models, if you cover them up too much they all look the same & I dislike that. But Veronica's hood makes her look like a jawa or munchkin so I give her whatever other headgear she'll wear.

:celebrate:

*looks at Skoomaholics Anonymous name* LOL, maybe I should have done something similar.

Oh and btw, don't use that console resurrect command before taking everything out of the follower inventory first, or you'll lose it.

Veronica: Motorcycle Helmet and black armor (Reinforced Leather or Van Graff-looted Combat Armor). She is cheerfully badass.

Arcade: Him in the Space Suit and 1st Recon Beret for a while (he gets more out of the +5 Crit than I do anyway), but I felt bad for making him look so goofy. Usually keep him in Reinforced Combat Armor Mk. II. He gets to keep the glasses.

Boone: (Desert camo) Combat Armor usually, but thinking of acquiring him some Ranger Veteran armor next time.

Raul: I can't bear to change his clothing, ever. If I could loot his outfits for myself, I would.

Cass: Ditto. Love the jacket.

ED-E needs a party hat.
