Fallout 4 is pulling out all the stops, learning from Bethesda’s best games since Fallout 3’s re-invention of the franchise.
Yesterday during a Fallout 4 panel hosted by Todd Howard at QuakeCon 2015, the developer announced there would be 12 companions the player could take on their trek across the wasteland.
Only one can be used at a time, so they can’t be used as a mini-army.
It was also revealed player could form a romantic relationship with said companions – no matter gender chosen – but this only works with human companions.
Preston Garvey and Piper are two such companions, and since they are human, this means a romantic relationship can be formed with either.
Codsworth is another companion, but since he is a Mr. Handy robot, well, the player won’t be able to act upon their sweet, sweet cravings for his mechanical prowess. Or something. Surely, this will be remedied in a mod at some point in the future.
This is the first time bonafide romance option will be appearing in a Fallout title other than simple flirtations in Fallout: New Vegas.
Every single one of Fallout 4’s companions will be able to engage in relationships and romance options, as long as they’re not made of metal or fur. All human companions are open for some romantic advances – regardless of the gender you choose to play as. Not only is that relatively rare for RPGs in general, romance options in a Fallout title is brand new. Previous games dabbled with promiscuity, but never offered options for personal relationships.
And you’ll have a lot of choice too, with a full cast of 12 companions featuring in the highly anticipated sequel. At least two of those are out of the question (Dogmeat is, well, a dog, and the robotic Codsworth isn’t exactly warm to flirtation). Two of the known human companions though are fair game. The Fallout Shelter revealed leader of the Commonwealth Minutemen, Preston Garvey, is a laser slinging cowboy of the wasteland (or at least I hope he is), but it’s Piper that has me more interested.
