Can we take a moment to imagine if Todd Howard had allowed us to have two companions at once. Like, they could interact and both have comments on Soleโs actions, and then thereโs a possibility theyโll have random arguments if they donโt get along. Also, if they REALLY donโt like each other, one of them might get a [ _____ Disliked That] notification upon requesting the other companion to join them.
They could also comment on the other companionโs affinity quests/approval speeches.
But some of these have the potential to be HILARIOUS while others could be kind of sad, too.
Danse, when Sole has Nick to follow them as well: I canโt believe youโre actually going to make me travel along side thisโฆ Thing. But if you insist.
Nick: Trust me, pal, Iโm not any happier about this arrangement than you are.
X6-88, when Sole has Deacon to join them: I do not agree with your decision to allow this man to accompany us, sir/ma'am. I donโt know him, and I cannot be sure that he is a trustworthy ally.
Deacon: Me? Untrustworthy? Please. Iโm the most honest guy youโll ever meet!
Strong, with practically every companion: Why human bring along other puny human? Strong the only protection this human need!
MacCready, upon hearing Deaconโs story about Barbara during his third approval speech: Daโ I mean, crapโ Iโฆ Iโm sorry. I know how that feelsโฆ
Hancock, when hearing Caitโs story about her chem addiction: Hey, sister, I like the high as much as anyone, but good on you for knowing when itโs time to quit. Canโt always speak for myself on that oneโฆ
Curie, when a synth: Monsieur Codsworth, have you ever considered the possibility of becoming a synth, as well? It is quite the experience!
Codsworth: The idea has never much crossed my mind, Miss Curie, although I daresay it does sound rather intriguing! However, I doubt that me becoming more human-like would be very beneficial to my service to sir/mum. Garden work is much more difficult with only two hands, you know!
Piper: Yanno, Garvey, Iโve had this idea for an article for a while now: โHope for the future from the perspective of a Minuteman!โ Whadda ya think? Iโm sure the residents of the Commonwealth would eat that up!
Preston: *chuckle* Interesting idea, Piper. Iโd be happy to give an interview later when we arenโt on the road.
Cait, when Sole has Dogmeat follow them: So weโre letting your mutt tag along, eh? Alright, as long as he doesnโt get in me way, weโll be fine.
Strong, during MacCreadyโs story about Lucy being killed by Ferals: Strong smash ALL stupid ghouls for Mack-Ree-Dee!
Piper, when Nick is confessing that he doesnโt feel like he really matters since heโs just a copy of another manโs personality: Nicky, youโre a better person than most people in Diamond City! Youโre one of the only people who even bothers to give me the time of the dayโฆ Youโre a good man, donโt be so hard on yourself.
And then donโt get me STARTED on the companions reacting to random NPCs saying rude/insulting things to other companions like Nick or Hancock. Even better, Nick and Hancock BOTH snapping back at a rude NPC. The combined sass would be legendary.
NPC, snarkily at Nick: Hey! I can see this Protectronโs brain!
Nick: Protectron? *grumbles* Thatโs a new oneโฆ
Hancock, to the NPC: At least he has a brain. Guess the same canโt be said about you, though, can it?
Curie, when a NPC says something about Hancock or Nick: *gasp* How rude! Surely Monsieur Valentine/Hancock has done nothing to deserve such hostility!
NPC, to Hancock: Ugh, itโs hideous.
Hancock: Youโd be the expert.
Nick, to the NPC: *irritated* Ever looked in a mirror, pal? You arenโt exactly pleasing to the opticals, either.
Cait, to the NPC: Oh, go to hell, the lot of ya! Don'tcha have anythinโ better to do with your miserable life?
Strong, to NPC: Humans talk too much! Strong smash tiny annoying human!
Piper, angrily: Hey, buddy! You wanna be in the next headline for Publick Occurances? Itโs called โBiggest Douche Bag In The Commonwealth!โ
Thereโs literally so much more I could add here but I think you all get the gist. It would be a lot of work and probably wouldnโt happen but THIS WOULD BE SO FREAKING AMAZING IF IT WAS IN GAME! Feel free to add more ideas!
