If we are being technical (and I feel like it), ED-E is the first recruitable companion. You'd think a faction heavy related games like New Vegas would prefer to leave the very first companion to recruit to be somewhat neutrual to all factions, but the game was made by Obsidian, so.
Originally posted by Johnny Casey:Making Craig Boone to be the first companion that player can usually recruit was a one of the biggest developing mistake of New Vegas in my opinion.Ī companion who makes an entire faction to be hostile to you? Yeah, that's great companion to pick in the very first place, isn't it?Įventually people will turn the Legion to enemy, and as a result, the Legion became nothing more than yet another raider faction with 'some' quests in it.
