Pollout 3: Main/Preferred Companion(s)
Now that we know that the companions will have unlimited lives (but will have a wall of shame where we keep track of their "deaths"), it's time to pick who Magdalena will be traveling with the most. Her karma is allowed to be shifted around and I will do what I can to recruit followers when possible and do what I can to avoid turning them against her... but some of that could be up to the polls, though, I may remove options that could get Maggie in deep trouble with her companion. Something to keep in mind, I guess.
Also keep in mind that Fallout 3 is buggy and I'm on console... so if someone randomly dies or disappears... that sucks, but there isn't much I can do. It'll just become part of the story, I guess.
Anyway, this poll will decide Maggie's main companion and whatever companions will be used the most when the main companion is out of commission or not available (like when they "die". Deaths will be treated as "injuries" that companions need to recover from. A save is reloaded and the companion is taken to their "home base" and left there for a few quests/in game days until they "recover"). This also applies if I get tired traveling with someone. I love most of these guys... but not all of them lol...
Since Dogmeat can be used alongside other companions, he will just be used randomly, even when traveling with someone else. For that reason, he will not be on the poll.
So... who do you want to see her travel with most often?
Butch DeLoria
Charon
Clover
Star Paladin Cross
Fawkes
Jericho
Sergeant RL-3

Pollout 3: What miscellaneous object will Magdalena collect?
The Wasteland is full of random crap. So why not collect some of it?
The items I've chosen are ones not linked to any weapon schematics so that Maggie won't have to use any of her beloved collectibles to make a weapon. I'll grab the selected item(s) as often as I can and even steal them if necessary.
They will then be piled up somewhere in her house. Keep in mind, some of these are rarer than others.
So, what should she collect?
Balls (baseballs/basketballs/pool balls)
Brahmin Skulls
Cameras
Cigarettes (individual ones/packs/cartons/maybe ashtrays too)
Garden Gnomes
Mutilated Limbs (arms/legs/organs/skulls/torsos)
Nuka-Cola Trucks
Pencils
Plungers
Pre-War Money
Sporks
Teddy Bears

Pollout 3: The Wasteland Part 38: Perk Time!

Pollout 3: The Wasteland Part 15: An Impulsive Mistake...
Magdalena swallows her pride and goes to talk to the unsavory bar owner. Surely convincing someone like him that dad always spoke highly of him will-
...maybe it was her heavily irradiated state... maybe it was the way he'd treated his employees... or maybe it was just pure desperation on her part, but Maggie had had enough of this man.
After he was done trying to goad her into doing his dirty work, Moriarty strolled off and sat down at his terminal. The terminal that Maggie so desperately needed to get into. While the man was distracted, she quietly shut the office door, pulled out a switchblade she'd found in Springvale, and crouched down.
Although her reflexes and strength were hindered by her critical radiation poisoning, Maggie managed to sneak up on Moriarty and take him out. Unfortunately, he made a lot of noise as he fell to the floor. Moving quickly, Maggie grabbed his password (and outfit) and hopped onto his computer.
She ignored the commotion from the bar and pounding knocks at the office door and found the information she needed. Galaxy News Radio. Wasn't that the radio station Gob and Nova were arguing about earlier-?
Uh oh. Maggie was caught. Fighting her way out was an option, but as far as she knew, none of these other people had done anything wrong. But if they aimed to kill her... then she had to do what she needed to, just like in the vault. Although, in her weakened state... that might not be ideal. Running to the front door and fleeing into the settlement was possible, but risky. Glancing behind her, Maggie saw a locked back door. The lock looked very easy but she had no time to pick it. Perhaps forcing the lock would work?*
*I know time freezes when you pick locks in game but... this is more fun, right?
Critical Radiation Poisoning = -3 END, -2 AGL, -1 STR
[Note: Forcing Locks are given three chances to succeed. If all fail then the second place option will be chosen instead (with consequences).]
So... should she Fight or Flee?
Fight her way out. (named characters will die)
Flee by running to the front door and risking injury.
Flee by forcing the lock on the back door. [22% Chance]
