No, NPCs cannot wear armoor. They are stuck with the
armor they come with.

I've tried to upgrade Ian's armor buy giving him better
stuff through bartering, but he doesn't seem to get
the idea that he should wear it. Is there something
I should be doing differently?
Thanks,

In fallout 2 could they just add a line to the dialog where you tell
Ian or whoever is with you to use the best armour they have just like
you could tell them to use the best weapon. I hated having an extra
combat armor watching him get wasted.

Interplay should allow you to control the other characters that
join your party in Fallout too. I found the Ian and the others to
just be in the way when you're in battle or even when you're
exploring.

Well I could live with it, or live without it, but
what I *GOTTA HAVE* is armor for the dog. Man, losing
dogmeat, my trusted companion and best friend...
*chokes up*... I... can't... say... any... more....
*sob*

I found that I liked the NPC system. It has major kinks to it though. I think
there should a be an understanding between you and your NPC. Like staying out
of the doorway. Or doing something a certain way. Plus no one ever acknowledges
your NPCs which kind of sucks. Finally, I think there should be some form of
3-way conversation.

I liked not having to control my NPCs, actually, and generally thought
it worked o.k. But not being able to equip them with better armor was
disappointing (uh, except Dogmeat), and it was silly the way they acted
to blindly loyal to you --i.e. sign Ian up, then attack Shady Sands and
he'll gun down his friends with the rest of you.
The Ultima 7 series had the best NPC sophistication, both party members
and otherwise, although even then party members hit each other too often
-- uh, and the food requests....

I also liked not having to control NPCs. Though I would have liked more
options into guiding their actions. I would have liked to see more
intelligence from the NPCs..8-), I mean that if you decided on doing
something against their nature they would split or shoot back, if they
killed an enemy they should get experience. Imagine having to outshoot
your NPCs to get experience.

I have. Can send you the savegame if you want. (~10 Megs, dunno how much
zipped.)

I got through the game with all the NPCs alive. Due to my great
strategy, with a small, inconsequential amount of help from the fact
that my character could fire three aimed turbo-plasma shots per combat
round <grin>.
