*Spoilers*
is the god damn Terminator. I feel like I should be his companion. Are all the companions this crazy overpowered?
I ran into this one lady who was surrounded by a 8-9 dogs. By the time I had killed just her Boone had slaughtered all of the dogs.
Fallout: New Vegas
Game » consists of 25 releases. Released Oct 19, 2010
The post-apocalyptic Fallout universe expands into Nevada in this new title in the franchise. As a courier once left for dead by a mysterious man in a striped suit, the player must now set out to find their assailant and uncover the secrets of the enigmatic ruler of New Vegas.
Boone
Yeah, but he's not voiced by Danny Trejo. So I'll stick with Raul me thinks!
He's the only companion I've come across so far, and yeah, he fucking destroys everything in our path. When I found him the difficulty of the game decreased by a pretty large degree. I'm thinking about letting him go for awhile because killing things has actually become less fun, haha.
Do any of you guys got the achievement for getting all the followers? Does it mean "get all of them at once," or just recruit them all at least once throughout the game. I have the option of doing Boone's quest now, but I sort of want that achievement, so....I was just going to wait until the end and get them all at once. I'm in Hardcore mode...so he'll die. Anyway, it's tough out there on your own, if I can take him I want to!!!!
I just got him. Pumped to hear he'll actually be helpful.
I'm super-paranoid about companion death in this game. I guess I could always load up an old save, but I'd rather not do that. Is it hard to keep companions alive (I'm playing HC if that matters) or should I not really worry about it and just take someone with me all the time?
I lost my save with Boone! and now I can't get him back >:(
When I tried returning the quest for the second time it wouldn't let me give him the proof, fuck sake.
Boone is great, but he attacks everything on site, even tho he is on passive?
so i cant just walk into the legion camp with him....
If i tell him to wait in my hotel room. will he stay there?
" Boone is great, but he attacks everything on site, even tho he is on passive? so i cant just walk into the legion camp with him.... If i tell him to wait in my hotel room. will he stay there? "Mainly that is just legion. He HATES the Legion, and with good damn reason, if you've talked to him. Cause, damn.
Also I love how even like NCR NPC comment on how he;s a badass.
I had boone for the longest time, but then told him to go chill at the Lucky 38 while I tried out Cass. She herself doesn't do much damage, but her perk is amaaaaazing. Whiskey grants me +2 Strength and +2 Charisma and increased DT, with NO negative side effects. And addiction also doesn't have any negative side effects. It's fantastic.

Boone is over powered until you get to enemies with high DR like sentry bots, deathclaws, glowing ghouls, etc
Have you set the cinematic kills to player view? If you do, the deaths slow down from your perspective when Boone kills a dude. THIS IS AWESOME. I'll be looking at a dude and BAM his head explodes in slow motion.
" Boone never takes off his red beret. "He doesn't, but I did and then told him to GTFO!
Yeah, Boone is pretty fucking rad.
I let him go, though, and replaced him with Veronica. She wears power armor, so it's really hard for her to die, and she tanks badguys for me while I take them out safely.
Wish she had a better perk, though. Oh well, hopefully I'll find some more companions soon!
He is great on most enemies but hard hitting close range armored types are still a threat. Well I guess that would include only Deathclaws but still, Don't go thinking that you are invincible now. Also If anyone is playing on the PC I strongly recommend to look for a mod that let's you have all the companions at once. It might get a bit easy but So far all the companions were fun and useful.
@kitsune_conundrum:
also he doesn't always want to put it on if you give him more than one hat. At one point he was wearing a space helmet instead of his beret.
I've played for quite a while with Boone now and the game does start to catch up to him. I may switch over to Veronica just for a change of pace. Still, early on Boone leaves a hell of an impression.
I was skimming a playthough on youtube and I think I've found the classic Boone experience. Skip to 1:45. *Warning there's some NSFW language*
Ive been having fun dressing him up in various ridiculous outfits. He gets mad when you remove the beret, but then he gets over it.
I want to make a double sniper team but I'm not good at making ammo yet. Are there any other sniper like rifles that don't use .308 ammo?
" @carminescarf: Gauss rifle and Anti-material rifle, and you can add a scope to most rifle I think. "Gauss is categorized into energy weapons sadly.
It is also bugged and does not crit nor does it get sneak attack criticals from stealth, this is due to it doing explosive damage
i just get the companions to come with me then i send them all to the lucky 38 and have them wait for me. like others have said it's too much of a headache to have to worry about your companions dying in hc mode.
