I've now got three concurrent playthroughs going between Skyrim, FO:NV, and FO3. There is something seriously strange about that. Currently have the following companions in play: Mod Elf companion Miravel and sometimes partner Lydia; badass Boone (always) and ED-E (always); and Dogmeat (and hopefully soon to have super-badass Fawkes).
Splitting my time between hunting Draugr, Forsworn, Falmer and Thalmor; to Fiends, (overpowered) Deathclaws (landmines are your friend - and not even a Mother or Alpha-Male can survive a gauntlet of 12 evenly spaced), Nightstalkers, and a--hole Legionaires; to Talon Company Mercs, Feral Ghouls, Mire Lurks and Super Mutant Brutes and Overlords.
Currently engaging in the finer points of enchanting and maxing out damage on my dual ebony war axes/hammers and which two enchantments, and mix, are really the best for each piece of my armor set; to creating enough weapon repair kits to keep my Hunting Shotgun and revolver fully functional with max DAM/DPS and reloading enough.50 cal MG ammo to keep Boone stocked (since he goes through it like pooh through a goose); to finding enough Nuka-Cola Quantum to make an arsenal of Nuka-Genades (my favorite weapon in DC) and finding enough .44 Mags with Scopes to repair the one rapidly degrading good one I always carry.
Yes, it's a crazy, insane and very mixed-up (but thoroughly enjoyable) world that's beginning to blend together night after night.
I suppose what this all really tells me is that I'm ready for Dawnguard.
My skyrim playthrough is me as the lone wolf as stealth does not intertwine well with stupid AI companions that make noise and step into traps and get caught all the time. Also the characters have no personality and are just recycled copies.
FO NV has a great companion system and it really feels like an adventure to save the Mojave wasteland. I downloaded the no companion limit mod and my party consists of Boone (2nd in command), Arcade (medic), Lily (Bruiser melee), Veronica (tank), Raul (mechanic, tech expert), ED-E (scout and support), and Willow (the cheerful peacekeeper and heart of the group).
It all plays like a big fanfic and I love it
