  • Starfield is all about making friends - and immediately putting them in grave danger. On your adventures across the galaxy, you’ll come across a rogue’s gallery of potential companions and crew members. This guide will walk you through how the game’s companions work, how to recruit companions, the difference between crew members and companions, and how to recruit crew members.

    There's also Jessamine, recruited in the bar at the Key. Must be recruited before completing the Crimson Fleet questline (if you're doing it for SysDef, otherwise she'll still be there when it's over.). Also, Matthis is an available companion if the Crimson Fleet questline is completed by siding against SysDef.

    Adoring fan is easily the best companion if all you care about is gameplay. He wont complain when you steal or kill and wont butt himself into your conversations like Sarah does. Also adoring fan is OP if you give him an advanced bridger and a suit with +40 carry capacity. Thank me later sarah simps

    You can have multiple followers by stealing them during missions. Emma Wilcox will follow you during Deputized (Akila Rangers questline), and Dr. Walker will follow you during Delivering Devils (New Atlantis UC questline). If you never go to the next marker, they'll just stay with you forever (although you can't give them weapons and they don't have infinite ammo like real companions)

      Their hiring fee is also a one-time payment like in other Bethesda games.

    There is a bounty hunter lady named Betty Howser that you can recruit. She is at the "distress call" icon in the Heinlein star system.
    SIDE QUEST SPOILER BELOW
    You can also get Amelia Earhart as a companion. She is in the Charybdis star system, and on the planet Charybdis 3. You have to complete the quest in the town she is in before you can recruit her. Also i think you need the persuasion skill.

    Just my opinion but Barret WAS the best companion, Sarah hates everything you do, Sam Coe yammers on about nothing and his daughter is annoying, Andreja is one of the best to travel with and romance, Marika is a killing machine if you are going into a fight and the Adoring Fan is amusing to have on your crew but not great to travel with. Hope that gives you some insight.
