Description
Companion Commander brings Fallout New Vegas\' Companion Wheel functionality to Fallout 3, providing easy control over npc companions. What it does
There are 8 sections on the commander menu, each with a specified function. The available orders are:
  • []Use Melee / Use Ranged: This function allows the player to switch the companion\'s fighting preference between ranged and melee weapons. This option reads \"Use Melee\" when the companion is configured to \"Use Ranged,\" and vice-versa. []Open Inventory: Opens the companion\'s and player\'s inventory side-by-side, allowing the player to swap items between the companion\'s and player\'s inventory. (Highlighting this function displays the companion\'s current and maximum carried weight.) []Stay Close / Keep Distance: Instructs the companion to follow the player at either a short or long distance. This option reads \"Stay Close\" when the companion is configured to \"Keep Distance,\" and vice-versa. []Back Up: Commands the companion to back away from the player approximately two meters (6 feet). []Be Passive / Be Aggressive: Switches the companion between \"aggressive\" mode (attacking any enemy he/she detects) and \"passive\" mode (attacking only enemies engaged in combat with the player). This option reads \"Be Passive\" when the companion is configured to \"Be Aggressive,\" and vice-versa. []Use Stimpak / Repair: Instructs the companion to use a stimpak (or scrap metal for robots) from the player\'s inventory. (Highlighting this function displays the companion\'s current and maximum Hit Point total, and the number of Stimpacks / Scrap metal in the player\'s inventory.) []Wait Here / Follow Me: Switches the companion between following the player and staying where instructed to wait. This option reads \"Wait Here\" when the companion is configured to \"Follow Me,\" and vice-versa. []Talk To: Engages the companion in dialogue as with other NPCs. This allows the user to access the options listed above through dialogue, and is the only method by which the player can \"dismiss\" the NPC.
Notes
  • When highlighting the \"Open Inventory\" function, the displayed inventory weight may slightly wary from the companion\'s actual inventory weight. Generally, the more items from 3rd-party mods you have on your companion, the less accurate it is.
