“I am sworn to carry your burdens.”
Fucking Lydia
At least you give her extra inventory slots, that’s something!
Ahh, my FO4 companions.
Ive done this to my grandmother but slightly more unhinged, because I quote random video game lines. I once said “Now about that beer I owe you.” And heard someone on the other side of the antique store shout " Fuck off Barney from Black Mesa." I will inflict psychic damage on people.
You’re there for moral support.
Those dumb phrases and your mere npc-like presence may seem dumb, but you may not be aware that you’ve got roughly a 3 meter AoE, 25% boost to her max stamina, as well as a -50% to her stamina loss rate going on.
Level up the companionship skill tree a bit more and those buffs might apply to you as well!
You joke but that’s pretty much how my wife views it. She has to go shopping for herself once in a while, but she loathes the task, so here I come for moral support.
And now I’m thinking NPCs really could use having some more compliments in their vocabulary. Like, it would be nice if my color coordination efforts at the cost of stats was recognized, you know?
I am honestly not really joking at all, just continuing on with describing things in a different vernacular.
Putting this all in spoiler tags to not blow up the thread, rambling autistic musings beyond here:
Of course not all men women whichever other genders and couples work precisely like this… but it is pretty common that they come pretty close.
Some women, people really, mostly hate shopping, but can handle it better with someone else they know and love, in at least some sense, present.
Some people mostly love shopping, and… also love it more when they are also doing so with someone they love.
I think roughly approximating this as stamina buffs is generally accurate, you could make it more complex by having some kind of ‘shared time-o-meter’, that also builds up XP, but differently according to the different builds (love languages/psych dispositions) of each partner.
And sure, yes you can absolutely continue this further:
Your base charisma stat kind of locks down certain dialogue options, but, as in video games, you may be able to improve that base stat, and you can also presumably spec down a more specific kind of speaking tree, certain vernaculars from fandoms or academic disciplines or sports or whatever, unlock new and varying context specific dialogue options and idle lines… have it synergize with that companionship skill tree, etc.
And you also could attempt to create an actual objective, but complex system of actually scoring ‘fashion’, giving a color coordinating score based off of color theory would… not be impossible…
… but… with many other aspects of fashion, it would basically have to be immensely complex, it would have to be very multidimensional, not just one monolithic score…
Maybe something closer to a system that attempts to classify and categorize fashion styles … would be a better way of thinking of it, like a complex multifactorial personality test.
Hopefully that would allow people to … actually be creative and mix and match styles or invent their own, instead of just totally locking them in to copying existing styles.
Don’t forget the charisma boost from the enhanced confidence and the new costumes.
I didn’t want to overwhelm this n00b with too much detail right off the bat, ahahah!
Isnt party XP distributed a bit unequally though?
Depends on your loot splitting schema, how far into and what specific branches they’ve gone down in the companionship tree, their own specific character builds… etc etc.
Now this is a nice quality comment!
=D
Picking up garbage to give to the PC who is always totally unimpressed with your finds.
Don’t forget about carrying all the loot that doesn’t fit in their inventory!
I am sworn to carry your burdens.
Like a dagger everytime.
It will be even easier to carry the loot since you’ll be dropping weight from your coin purse
Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?
T’was a joke
Just need to find the chair at every stop.
I remember a clothes shop in China having a little area for male companions to wait in comfort and I thought that was the most delightful attention ever!
every store should have a Husband / Boyfriend Deposit Area
Those guys must be exhausted. They seem to design those sorts of chairs with the idea that they don’t want people to sit on them for very long.
This is the way
Wait, isn’t that Joe Estevez?
A couple weeks ago, I was like that when suddenly my wife ask me “Driving Crooner! What are you doing?? That’s not our shopping car!!” at some moment I grabbed someone else shopping car and started rolling without noticing that my wife had ours already. Luckily the owner of that car was as mindless as me and didn’t notice it was missing for a minute.
don’t trust her she’s TRYING TO RUIN IT FUUUUUCK
SHE’S TRYING TO STEAL THE DECALS!!!
You say car where you are? I thought it was cart.
I guess is “carrito” in Portuguese, but I’m not entirely sure. I live in Brazil but neither Portuguese or English are my first languages.
Ah very cool, that makes sense. All the English of your post looked like perfect English so it just stood out, sorry for being pedantic was just curious :-)
It’s “carrinho de compras” ou “carrinho de mercado”, we don’t really have a word for cart.
What do you call the Mario racing game?
Mario Carchi
Carro in Spanish, at least where I am
Or trolley
Goblins, Arisen!
“Even in numbers, a weakling is a weakling still!”
One of the many reasons I love my girl is that she’s not that type of shopper. For that matter we don’t take each other shopping at all and we both prefer it that way.
I’m sworn to carry your burdens.
I kind of like seeing what my partner is excited about. So it’s usually not a bad experience.
She pulls the mobs and I DPS them
“Booker, catch!”
Outwordly sounds from a broken looking glass: join us… join us now…
