    whoa, that list of companions is amazing
    also, broken steel made companions damn near unkillable, especially Dogmeat.

    Also apparently this charachter is written by Avellone and
    John Cassidy
    's child (Companion from the second)
    4945297939_92889c99a6.jpg

    * Full Name: Rose of Sharon Cassidy
    * Sex: Female
    * Race: Human
    * Ethnicity: Caucasian
    * Age: 37
    * Profession: Water merchant, owner of Cassidy Caravans
    * Perk: Whiskey Rose – While Cass is a companion, she and the player gain Damage Threshold when they drink Whiskey. Additionally, the player does not suffer intelligence loss from consuming alcohol and ignores the negative effects of alcohol addiction.
    * Description: Worn down by years of hard luck and a recent rash of terrible misfortunes, Cass is a despondent merchant who’s about to get out of the caravan business. She’s smart, tough, and steady with a gun, but she hasn’t been savvy enough to survive the ruthless caravan wars that have flared up in Nevada since NCR’s expansion. Though she’s quick to join up with the player for some easy money, she’s still interested in finding out if she’s been suffering from bad luck or something more sinister.

    Damn, I was hoping for a Securitron as a non human companion. Honestly, instead of limiting it to 1 humanoid, and one non humanoid, why not just limit it at two? What if I want to get 2 humanoids following me? They never really explain why you can have more anyway. All the companions say is "Oh, you've already got a companion" what is that? They need their space?

    Like Fallout 3, New Vegas allows you to have one humanoid and one non-humanoid companion at any time.

    Wait, so this means the whole charisma-based companion limit is out? D:

    Reading those companion ages makes me really weary of the entire concept of the Fallout games now taking place two centuries after the Great War. The amount of time seems very arbitrary and exaggerated, and it's been an issue since Fallout 2.

    It seemed like a lot less of a clusterfuck in the original, when the Great War was a mere 80 years earlier, yet there still only seemed to be three "people" old enough to have witnessed it firsthand (Set, Harold and The Master)

    That's Bioware romance, dude. Obsidian romance is more like

    "I like you a lot, Wanderer, but unfortunately if we ever get together, I will die a horrible and slow death.

    Also you accidentally killed my parents years ago and it left me with a complex.

    Also I have cancer."

    I'm new to the Fallout universe, having only played fo3, but I see it as kind of a b-movie. Don't think too hard about things (the lack of prey for the predators, only taking a single steak off a brahmin, so many cars and so few charging stations) and just roll with it.

    Also this has sadly been bumped to a Christmas game for me. Gonna try to get my parents to pre-order somewhere so I can get a little bonus, and I definitely want the Limited Edition.

    That's not Lily. You mean Rose.

    Also, I'm not sure Avellone wrote Lily. But he defenitly wrote Rose Cassidy.

    Another Interview:
    AL: One aspect of the game I didn't get to see at E3 were weapon mods. How many mods will be in the game, and how many will each type of weapon be able to have on it?

    JS: There are a few dozen different weapon mods in the game. Mods are used primarily on capital-G Guns, but can also be purchased for Energy Weapons and some Explosives. An individual weapon can have up to three mods.

    Project Beauty is an awesome mod that really does improve the way NPCs look quite noticably.

    There's another mod I really loved called Fellout, that all it did was remove the 'green' from the entire world... it's just amazing how much better the environment looks with only that. Of course, the mod also makes night times pitch fucking black so you need another mod to undo that since the guy who made Fellout is adamant about this choice.

    The new hardcore mode is one of the things that excites me most about New Vegas.

    It sounds to me like it will make the game feel more like a desperate struggle for survival, just the way a post-apocalyptic game should feel.
