Veronica Santangelo

I'll start:

Fallout 3 characters:

Amata: It feels like Bethesda was setting up the potential for a relationship, but ditched it halfway through production. Plus, if you make her the overseer while romanced you can have a speech check to convince her to let you return to your vault.

Moira Brown: Romance could be a long-term reward for helping her write the Wasteland Survival Guide.

Clover: If one has the right amount of caps, they can convince Eulogy Jones to part ways with her. What's done with her then is left up to the player.

Reilly: As a romance option, her character would be extended past her business and her intense quest.

Sierra Petrovita: If one has opted to get Ronald killed with the promise of a threesome, one could then become Sierra's new protector and eventual lover.

Fallout New Vegas characters:

Christine Royce: Cherchez La Femme could do more than get Christine to open up about past relationships.

Arcade: With him having one of the more iconic quest lines in the game, romance with him would be interesting whether or not he stays with the Followers or returns to the Remnants.

Cass: Like Reilly, Cassidy's relations with the courier could be expanded beyond her quest lines.

Veronica Santangelo: It could be a smooth or a rocky romance depending on how the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood is dealt with.

We went the NCR route and killed Lanius surprisingly quickly mainly using the Brush Gun. It was his seemingly endless supply of soldiers that caused me trouble. We only had Boomers for aid as we never hired Arcade, never talked to the Followers about helping and killed off both the Mojave Khans and BOS.

So I forgot about talking to the Followers and we only talked to Colonel Tsu to get the Safehouse key. Since we killed the Khans at Boulder City early on there was no way to not kill the Khans off which was easy compared to taking the Cazador infested moutain route by myself. We killed the BOS as they attacked us either because of our NCR Black Ranger armor or having Boone in our party. Once again, killing them was easy compared to their turrents I couldn't penetrate.

At the end we we're using Gehenna, a 12.7 Pistol and a Brush Gun all while looking like the game cover... but with a red beret. It was fun, and before we started Dead Money today I visited Veronica on an early save. She felt bad and likes Veronica already so I'm happy. We got the 3 together at the fountain and she likes Dean the most. I'm happy with everything. Also happy to tell any tales.

I’m just doing a legion play thru and I’m at the point where I have to destroy the bos

But I like having Veronica and multiple companions at once

so I was wondering if I could make the bos join the legion or am I just screwed

It's kinda tiresome to have to do specific things with specific companions to bond with them better, especially when the game doesn't really tell you that. And sure, saving slaves with Boone and doing tech stuff with Veronica and E-DE make sense but you kinda just have to know that and make sure you don't accidentally lock yourself out of their good ending.

I much prefer the way 4 did that, although admittedly they were going for something different where it was just about trust in 4 and also about things like how you can still do stuff when you're old. Still, where it is explicitly about gaining enough trust, with Boone, I'd hope he understand I'm on his side when we've managed to survive our 30th legion assassin attack after they got mad we saved some slaves from their clutches.

I guess some kind of middle way would be best, where it's not just doing generic stuff they like but also not that you have to micromanage which quests you do with who to not risk being unable to do their companion quests.

Is there any legitimate way to get Veronica out of her god awful robes?

In 4 Deacon often cracks jokes when you interact with him. By often I mean just a bit under all of his dialogue. Many of these jokes are also a bit meta as well, or reference other games in the series. However he's not the only one to do this. Veronica feels like she acts very similarly, except for you know, the lying addiction. I'm wondering if there's characters in the other games who act like this.
