Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time.

Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.

Running a 'scraper' or 'downloader' program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.

Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.

There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: This severely limits companions' usefulness as specialists, as they can't really save the protagonist from having to train all the needed skills and stats themselves.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. it's not possible to use a strong companion to open jammed doors in Vault 8), or when using items that act the same as an active skill (e.g. This doesn't, however, extend to other interactions like skill checks in normal dialogue and during regular object use (e.g. This way, a skill check will be done against their skill level, which allows the Chosen One to do things they would otherwise be not qualified to. In Fallout 2, if a companion has a higher active tag skill than the Chosen One, whenever they use that skill on something, the companion lends them a hand by running in and using the corresponding skill on the object themselves. The added benefit here is making it easier to distinguish the companion from regular NPCs wearing the same type of armor. It is due to this mechanic that a companion's model does not change from wearing different types of armor changing the model would change their qualifications as well. A companion can use weapons that their character model has animation sprites for. The kinds of weapons a companion can use is not determined by the weapon's type but rather by the in-game model the weapon utilizes when used. This was not a well-known bug, even to developers: In Fallout Bible 4 Chris Avellone only showed the stats for stage prototypes and missed the base prototype for Goris. As such, each six-stage companion can only level up to Stage 5, as the data generated from party.txt at startup will never include the sixth stage, due to a hardcoded limit. Anything exceeding that length is truncated and ignored by the engine. This would not normally be an issue, but each record in the file is capped at 200 bytes of length, which only accommodates five records. For example, Goris is supposed to have six stages (protos 319 through 324), but the character the player interacts with and recruits is none of these protos, but a separate, 'base' Goris (proto 153). by reading skill books.Дue to a design bug, companions who are supposed to have six stages cannot ever reach Stage 6, as their progression is divided not into six, but seven stages. Using fixed models also means that a companion cannot permanently gain stats in any other way, e.g. A companion starts with a base model, then advances to stage 1, 2 etc. Each time the player character gains a level, every current companion has a chance to go up a stage i.e. In Fallout 2, each companion has a fixed number (typically, 4-6) of predefined levels called 'stages' in the form of multiple alternative models for them with different statistics.

In Fallout, companions do not level up at all. In Fallout, the controls are rudimentary at best while Fallout 2 is a substantial improvement.Д¬ompanions don't level up by gaining experience as the protagonist does. Instead, one can change some settings for their AI. Main articles: Fallout companions controls, Fallout 2 companions controlsД¬ompanions cannot be controlled directly.
