Skyrim didn't have romance, but there were a whole bunch of NPCs you could marry. They all had some kind of disposition requirement, usually doing some sort of errand for them, and then afterwards you could just go "Hey nerd nord, let's get married" and they'd be too embarrassed to say no because you delivered a flagon of Orsimer Horsepiss for them at one point.

Not really, just relationship levels with your companions. Since one is a Mr. Handy it's probably just like Boone's hidden triggers that make him open up to you more and pursue his companion quest.

Wonder how good the female VA is compared to the male. Female Shep from Mass Effect had way better voice acting.

Courtnay Taylor voiced Jack in the Mass Effect series and is a good voice actor. The dude VA doesn't seem to have as impressive a resume and I don't really recognize him from anything beyond a few bit roles.

Also I definitely heard Lynda Carter and Laura Bailey in the trailer so it seems like they got some really good talent for this game.

No, they specifically said all human companions would be romanceable by either gender player.

As for why, because after years of Witcher and Dragon Age and Mass Effect RPG players expect it, that's all.

So that every companion can have a base ability when you meet them then some story part where they get an upgraded ability. They make some of the story parts romancy.

A clip reel of Mr. Handy saying player names aloud was also shown. While Bethesda recorded over a thousand common names for use in the game, Mr. Handy can also say joke names such as "McFly," "Boobies," and "Fart Face," which will no doubt lead to players experimenting to uncover any other rude names that may have been recorded.

Hopefully this means the companions will have a little more going on than they did in Fallout 3.

The only time I really bothered with companions is when I needed an extra leg up at the start of the game. Sometimes when the stars align, they actually help kill dudes.On the off chance they decide to help, they'll focus on the least concerning mobs like that radscorp behind that rock over there.

What the AI is good at is being a distraction. I can send out a beeftank like Lily into a suicidal charge and use her as a meat shield :shobon:

Does Dogmeat count as a regular companion? I only ask because he has his own perk on the chart. Can you have him AND a companion, or more importantly, have him and still benefit from Lone Wanderer?

I honestly avoided a lot of the info on the game. I just saw the perk list and how levelling will work and I am really excited to make a character now.

Does anyone know if we will be able to raise our SPECIAL stats after character creation?

If you like, you can invest your perk points directly in your SPECIAL instead of getting perks from them.

I think he's just counted the same as any other companion this time. Only one follower at a time outside of quests that give you one.

Okay, I'm super excited to play this.. but I'm kind of annoyed about how they are handling things.

I ordered the pipboy edition, and I won't get it until well after everyone else who didn't. That's kind of lame.

Salt on the wound.. I already have my key for the season pass... which doesn't even exist yet.

I know I sound like a huge baby, but it would be nice if they would just email the key to people who paid double for special editions so we could play on the same day as people who didn't.
