How to remove a companion from the crew?
After talking about the companions and their abilities we know that everyone is capable of some of the other things in a unique form but what if someone annoys you or doesn’t react the way you want them to in that case you can also remove the companion from your crew.
Following are the ways which can be tried out:
- Firstly you can ask the companion to leave. In order to do this, talk to them and after a while tell them to leave. The companion will get rebellious and can start arguing, if you clicked the right button, but if you want them to leave, continue with the conversation till the time they agree with you.
- Secondly you can make a decision that goes against them. Each companion has their own morals, with some being more natural and comfy with unethical decision making than others, and there might be a chance that they get offended and leave voluntarily. Companions may also be aligned to a specific rationale.
Lastly you can remove a companion from your party if you are at the highest level of difficulty that is Supernova. In that case if a companion runs out of health, they will be unable to serve you until you return to The Unreliable. However, if a companion runs out of health, they will be permanently dead if you are on the highest level.
