How to get the NPC ID

How to get the NPC ID - Free stock photo of art, beach, beautiful

I know that you can mess with NPCs when you know their ID. For example typing in the console: 

prid 3f2bb 
moveto player

Selects Strong as target (where ever he may be) and then moves him to the player.

But how can I find out the ID of any random NPC that I encounter in the game? Is there a way to click on them and maybe type "get base_id" or so?

Best Answer

There's a full list of the character IDs (not just companions) here.

You'll have to search the page for the companion's name.

There are actually IDs for just about everything on the other sections of the site if you search for "fallout 4 console commands".
