Walking through somebody may not be very realistic, but it’s a hell of lot less annoying than not being able to walk through somebody. This would, I hope, prevent me from being able to move in a direction just because my companion wants to go the other way. As a workable, but visually odd, alternative, companions could be made non-clipping for the player. Companions should, if possible, move in the same direction you are.Enforcing this would likely be hit or miss depending on the complexity of the environment, but in the often linear, indoor environments it would be extremely appreciated. Companions shouldn’t be the first to open doorways or explore new areas.This is forgivable (and sometimes hilarious) in frantic combat, but can be exquisitely annoying when sneaking or sniping. Companions should make an effort not to block my line of fire.If I run in guns blazing, they often wander off.Ĭonsidering this, I would like to suggest some potential new etiquette rules for companions: If I’m sneaking, they run headlong into the fray. Once battle is engaged they have a definite tendency to stand directly in my line of fire and use tactics diametrically opposed to my own. They open doors I’ve not yet opened, enter rooms or areas before me, and generally, alert everybody with an urge to kill me to our presence. Who could argue that strapping rockets to a 300-year old wooden ship is a bad idea? Well, I suppose somebody could argue that, but they would be wrong. In the Fallout universe, apparently, the ship was heavily modified for reasons. Navy to have sunk an enemy vessel. She received her nickname, “Old Ironsides” from her pitched battle with the Guerriere, a British frigate, during the War of 1812 when the British became convinced that their cannon shot were bouncing off her hull. She was never bested in battle and, in fact, is the only active ship in the U.S. Built in Boston, she is the oldest active commissioned warship in the world. It was the third frigate to be built for the fledgling U.S. The Constitution has always fascinated me. The ship was launched in 1797 and christened by George Washington. I continue my play diary of Fallout 4. I moved the story forward today a bit and found my second favorite quest of the game so far (it’ll take a lot to top The Sliver Shroud from Day 13): Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution seen breaking the horizon during a radiation storm.
