The player character can have up to two companions in their party, which consists of Dogmeat plus any other companion, barring certain companion exploits.

Butch can be a companion if you convince the vault in the homecoming quest to open themselves, he goes to the muddy rudder in rivet city and can join your party with neutral karma.

Butch DeLoria (Fallout 3) He’s a pretty good fighter, especially with his fists or a pistol, and—bonus! An essential companion for Fallout 3 if only because Tunnel Snakes rule.

There’s no way to get Amata to leave the vault with you, you can see her in a chance random encounter where she may die if you don’t defend her, but even if you do she runs away saying it’s all your fault or something like that. anyway, use this mod if you want Amata as a companion.

If The Overseer becomes hostile but is not killed before reaching the Vault door, Amata will still speak as if he were killed by the player.

There’s no passing or failing with it. It’s just a humorous way to determine what three skills you’ll tag. He will tell you what job you would be getting if you ended up staying in the vault, but you can change it anyway.

All of the answers are the same, “The Overseer,” and none of them have any effect on your skills. Choose any one at random, and the GOAT test is complete.

The Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test (G.O.A.T.) is a Vault-Tec occupational assessment test that every resident of a vault is required to take at the age of 16.

Small guns, repair, lockpick… those are the three I strongly recommend. You can switch small guns to unarmed or melee if you prefer those for combat. Stay away from tagging big guns, energy weapons, or explosives since those won’t be plentiful until later in the game.

Your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats affect certain attributes (such as your hit points) as well as various skills. If your luck is 1 or 2, it increases all skills by one, 2 or 3 and it increases all skills by two, 4 or 5 and it increases all skills by three, and so on.

They can be increased permanently by taking the Intense Training perk at level-up (which can be taken up to 10 times, at any level) or through various quest perks. Additionally, you can find a bobblehead for each attribute which increases its associated stat by 1 point.
