Reactions with Virgil?

[Fenrir Wülf]

So I went to see Virgil and I decided to bring Piper with me because I thought she might be interested, cuz you know, Institute stuff. And nothing happened. Does anyone have anything to say if they meet Virgil with me? More specifically with the following companions: Nick, Piper,Synth Curie and Deacon who I can't do because the railroad suddenly became hostile and somehow died at the Forged camp, but still i'd like to know.

Yeah, people everywhere are surprizingly cool with your companions. I went to Vault 81 with Strong and the only reaction was towards me being from the Commonwealth. "WOOOW! You're really from there? :O" "You know, kid. You should be more impressed over my friend."

I didn't see any reactions with Virgil from Nick Valentine, I saw a reaction in Goodneighbor with Dense, It was something like "your brotherhood friend sure don't look comfortable here".

Not what I meant lol. I meant if the companion I bring will say something to Virgil in his cave. And I know Stong can in fact react to Virgil.

Nick didn't really comemnt, apart from on the stechnch lingering in Virgil's place. :D

It wasn't a "reaction", but when I originally talked to Virgil, I had Paladin Danse with me. I asked for his thoughts, and he told me that if Virgil didn't have any use, we needed to exterminate him.

you got lucky, sentinel, when i brought paladin danse he tried shooting up the place, i went back to an old save to dismiss him and i cant .-.

I think some of them will give you a unique comment when you talk to them after getting the molecular relay plans from Virgil.

There's a lot of these companion reaction (or should have been) moments I feel were missed.

I took piper with me when I talked to Maxson, and I have to say I am disapointed.

Here in front of me is a General who just moved an entire army into the Commonwealth, and to my side is a news reporter. Shouldn't she have, like 100's of questions to ask Maxson? Hell, when you 1st show up at Boston Airport if you go on foot, shouldn't she allready be there, arguing with the gate guard about trying to get an interview as local press?! I instantly lost all respect for her as a reporter.

That is one place where I feel they missed an oppurtunity npc world interactions.

I don't think she's really all that comfortable being outside Diamond City. People out there have a tendency to murder each other, and when you're a long way from home surrounded by a bunch of people in power armour with energy weapons and no local accountability, I can see why she might decide it isn't the time to ask a lot of nosy questions.

I mean, when we first meet her she's nervous about just being outside the gates even with guards and defensive turrets around, and a lot of her news is focused on Diamond City. I don't think she actually gets out and about all that much.

Okay, with respect to the airport, that's fair: right? BUUUUT, what about bringing her along as my companion for the raid to liberate Der Kessel for The Minutemen? Shouldn't there have been an issue of "Publick Occurrences" that comes out after that with a title of something along the lines of "Minutemen; The Rising Phoenix!" about the battle and its immediate aftermath with re-installing the old shore-batteries on the towers?

Diamond City is probably the surface settlement that would be the least affected by it, since they've got their own impressive walls and a considerable guard force to protect them.

It's still news I suppose, so she should be writing about it. Unless you live in a soap opera, there's only so much newsworthy activity that can go on in a single settlement the size of a baseball stadium.
