Will there be any Companions?

[Nootie the Cutie]

I like games like this but also like having back up to work with. Usually just a follower with a Heavy Gun with Armour while I am light weight and nimble to run around and cause chaos

the pseudogiant trailer short showed the player having a companion (seemingly), so yeah, i believe so

Personally, I'm hoping not. But we don't know yet either way.

It's true that there's an allied stalker with Skif in the Pseudogiant short, but that could simply be part of a specific mission where the NPC accompanies the player temporarily. Just like Richter will likely tag along for certain sections of the main story missions.

Pretty much.

I was expecting to hear about a dog companion, which is interesting. Not Rambo expendable NPCs...

I hope not, or that it's entirely optional.

Nope, this wasn't a thing in either of the 3 previous games.

On some missions, you can be accompanied by a person or a squad, but they are not a companion like you described.
