To my knowledge, Fallout 4 doesn't give you the option to set your companions following distance or aggression level like previous games, but it looks like they still scripted some dialogue for it...

Here are some responses I pulled from Deacon's script for when you ask him to close his following distance:

"How close we talking about? Do you just want a hug?"

"Being so close, well, let's just say I work better from the shadows."

"If you wanted me any closer that'd make me nervous."

+ bonus, when you ask him to be aggressive:

"Right. Time for me to get aggressive. Rawr. That sounded threatening, right?"

Deacon Being a Big Fat Liar: Ambient Dialogue Compilation Part IX

"I used to run a steam cleaner store before the bombs fell. So I see this and I think dollar signs."

"You know, I happen to be in possession of the deed to a bridge around here. I'll make you a great deal for it."

"I grew up in a Vault. I was a morale officer. How am I doing, boss?"

+ Bonus

"I was raised just over there. True story. Lots of fond memories over there by that... uh, thing. Yeah."

I would love to see a naïve sole reacting to all of Deacon's more obvious lies. I know for a fact, that if I knew this man irl I would not be able to pick up even a hint of his sarcasm

Currently hyperfixating on fallout 4 companion scripts, so here's some more fun ambient dialogue from Deacon:

"Lake Coch...it...wait. Lake Coke-itua... Lake Tons and Tons of Mirelurks."

"Look at all those buttons. Go ahead. You know you want to..."

"This playground could be worse. I can't think of how right now, but trust me, it could."

+ Bonus, this one that reads like a bad tinder message:

"Hey, Silver Shroud. Come on, tell me your secret identity. I won't tell anyone. He he."

Part XI of Deacon's Ambient Dialogue Compilation: Special Lore Edition pt.2

"If you're not careful Carrington will send you to places like this. Looking for aceda-whozit-whatzit."

"I was a soldier once. Way back west. I'll tell you about it some day."

"Last partner I had wound up going... well, a little insane. I think it was all my show tune medleys. So, as long as you don't go clawing your eyes out, I think we're good."

+ Bonus to whoever can tell me what specific substance he's referencing in this quote (if it is specific rather than a general response to chem/alcohol use)

"I've been known to partake of that, myself."

Part X of Deacon's Ambient Dialogue Compilation: Vibe Check?

"Anything for you, pal."

"Yeah, buddy, what is up?"

"How can I help?"

"Happy to talk. What's up?"

+ Bonus, this line that's marked in Deacon's script with the emotion indicator (concerned, a little unsteady)

"You OK, boss? You're still you, right? You never know, Amari can really do a number on people's noggins."

Part III of Deacon's Ambient Dialogue Compilation:

"I can positively feel the science oozing around here."

"Hello, words, I'm actions and I'm speaking awfully loud."

+ Bonus:

"Yay. Slime."

Part VIII of Deacon's Ambient Dialogue Compilation: Mole Rat Edition

"Mole rat. The other white meat"

"You know, I've always wanted a pet mole rat. I'd call him, "Ziggy."

"When I retire I want to be a mole rat farmer. That'd be the life."

+ Bonus, mirelurks

"Because, you know, the world wasn't screwed enough. So sure, bring on the giant nearly indestructible crabs. That'll be good."

Part VII of Deacon's Ambient Dialogue Compilation: Combat Edition

"The trick to this is don't die."

"Directions: apply repetitively until dead."

"Everyone stop! I got a splinter."

+ Bonus, this line that made me absolutely shit myself the first time I heard it, and continues to make me shit myself every time I hear it, spoken during melee combat:

"Now, insert slot A into tab B, right?"
