Characters
Quick notes
- Companions act independently. Fallout allies take their own combat turns.
- Recruit through the local situation. Ian, Tycho, Dogmeat and Katja are found in different settlements and have different recruitment conditions.
- Protect allies before the enemy turn. A companion is not a disposable extra life.
- Separate story people from party members. The Overseer and major antagonists provide campaign roles, not interchangeable combat followers.
Useful tip
The Overseer and major antagonists provide campaign roles, not interchangeable combat followers. This table names important characters without claiming all can join the party.
