One of the things you can do with companions is place them around your haven as decor. This functionality is only available on unwilling companions who are not traveling with you. If you wish to pose willing companions, you should edit Vampire/cfg/mods.cfg and set comp_poseWilling to 1.

Starting the Pose System

The pose system is initiated using dialog. The exact wording changes from NPC to NPC, but it generally includes the word "Pose". After it is initialized, a message will appear on the screen telling you to use KP_0 (Keypad 0) for help or KP_Enter (Keypad Enter) to end the pose system.

Moving the Companions

When the pose system starts, the companion becomes attached to you. When you move, they move with you like an object that you have picked up. The default movement keys are as follows:

KP_LEFTARROW : Rotate Companion to the right

KP_RIGHTARROW : Rotate Companion to the left

KP_UPARROW : Raise Companion into the air. (typically to place on an object such as a bed or chair)

KP_DOWNARROW : Lower Companion

KP_PGUP : Lean companion backward (so that they are facing down towards the ceiling)

KP_PGDN : Lean companion forward (so that they are facing down towards the floor)

KP_5 : Recenter Companion directly in front you. Usefull if the companion accidently falls off the map.

LEFTARROW : Move Companion to the left of your target hair

RIGHTARROW : Move Companion to the right of your target hair

DOWNARROW : Pull Companion closer to the PC

UPARROW : Push Companion farther away from the PC
