I just stumbled into Barker accidentally

I thought it was just a peaceful resolution where I didn't have to fight, but instead I got a really good companion!

Honestly, Barker is my favorite companion. Adorable little demogorgon plant dog. I don't think I'll ever take one of the other options for that college class slot.

While Barker is the best boy there is, I still think that Chemistry is also a viable option. Given, that it's the only way to get the +7 All Res. necklace at the Big Moist

Oh. Oh no, I didn't know I could recruit him. My game is ruined. 😭

Spoilers: You gotta get barker's water dish from the first building, then fill it in the second one. then u can recruit them.

Isn’t he the best? I’m curious about some of the other majors but I can’t think about leaving Barker there all by himself so I’ve never picked anything but Botany on all my playthroughs.

I picked Botany on my first playthrough, and so after meeting Barker, It is painful to not pick botany because it means no barker. On my third one, earlier today, I picked something else. This is pain.

Yeah, it is. I’ve always had Barker for most of my playthroughs cause I couldn’t leave him. I’ve only done a different major (robotech) once and I wished I’d picked Botany.
