Storing items

[ViktorHark]

I've heard that you may even drop things on the ground and they don't dissapear, is that true? And what about containers like bookshelves, etc. Also how does the companion's equipment actually works? Do I have to sell them my items so they can use anything other than default equipment?

You can use the steal skill on your companions to transfer items to and from them, but only when they are in your party, otherwise they behave as any other npc being stolen from. The only real player home is in the Lost Hills bunker, but I'm pretty sure you can store stuff anywhere.

I left unnecesary stuff at bookshelf in Crimson Caravan office, let's see how it's gonna work :P

The weapons your companions can use are based upon what sprites they have for 'em.

All of 'em can use knuckles and power fists (since you WILL need at least some form of self-defense out there!), as for the weaponry...

Ian can use knives, pistols, and SMG (or large handguns as they're otherwise called, meaning he can also use 14mm pistols and the VERY special one nicknamed "That Gun"). Katja cannot wield pistols however.

Tycho? He's a pistoler and rifleman, and his only melee weapon is spears.

Because it uses SMG sprites, yes.

That's also why a certain person you find early on in Fallout 2 is also capable of using "That Gun". God I love that design and reference to Blade Runner!
