A dialog box to prompt a user the first time they leave town that it would be really wise to find and enlist at least one other party member such as a warrior in a tavern or a mage that might be in a library.
+1 to this (assuming the player(s) haven't selected the Lone Wolf talent). Would've prevented about a dozen threads I've seen on the forum - no sarcasm; I understand the complaint.
I think that tutorial popups when you enter the town should highlight all there is to know about towns - like bartering, stealing, quest givers, companions etc.
But also, maybe a reminder about companions could be done in the form of a dialogue between pc characters, provided at least one of them has not taken the Lone Wolf perk. Something like:
Question: Maybe we should look around town for some extra muscle before venturing out into the wilds?
Reply 1: Yea sure, you never know what's out there. There is safety in numbers, and all that.
Reply 2: Don't be such a whimp, we can manage on our own.
Reply 3 (if the character has Lone Wolf): I prefer to work alone, you are distracting me enough as it is.
