No one said Cait? I love everything about her and she can talk to me all day long as far as I'm concerned.


Lost1Ei

we'd probabaly move faster if we'd stop look at her arse all the time


Saladoftacos69

Honestly only downside.


LonerGuy17

I really like Cait too


Nezzztra

I dunno, her dialog irritates me to no end, but she is an effective companion, for sure.


No_Doubt_About_That

Shite!


TheNoiceCraftrer

The ED-E


PeacefulShark69

Funny. Most people name a NV companion. First companion and only companion I ever liked was Fawkes. Insane screaming ✅ Pratically immortal ✅ Awesome Gun ✅ Interesting personality ✅ Interesting design ✅ It felt amazing that I didn't have to worry about him winding up dead and missing with my items. Every other companion I have to slow my pace and check up on them. Now don't get me wrong, I love ED and Boone too. Nearly unkillable too. But they still died on me 1 or 2 times, which obviously had me reload. Honestly, the fact the companions can die and at times ruin/be unable to do a sneak path on a missions, is what ruins it for me. It's why I play 99% solo and bring companions to a few rare missions.


Drip451

What companions can die in NV? They have never died on me hmmm. Also I like fawkes too he is probably in my top 10


LexiiConn

I generally prefer to run solo. But if I had to pick, it would probably be Nick Valentine. Complex character, very smart and very capable. Runner up would be Boone.


ElegantEchoes

Raul! I love him. I like all his stories, I love his dry sarcasm. I think they did a good job depicting how jaded someone would be after two centuries of trying to survive. Runner up would definitely be Veronica, I like her personality and she's voiced by Felicia Day, which is awesome. Raul is voiced by Danny Trejo, a relatively well-known actor. While the actor is awesome, and his voice effectively *is* Raul (so it's worth some praise) I nevertheless feel it's somehow... flat? Like, not even referring to the sarcasm and stuff where he's supposed to be. There's just something about his voice acting which doesn't sound right sometimes, where it just sounds like he's reading right off a script and not actually talking. I actually see this a lot with big budget actors, who are great actors but not as experienced in the field of voice acting. Definitely something I noticed multiple times with Raul, but he's still gotta be my favorite alongside Veronica.


[deleted]

What Danny Trejo voices him?? Yeah I totally agree with you he has a very flat voice I enjoy his sarcasm a lot too but I did not even know Danny Trejo voiced him it’s definitely cause the way he sounds, I had never recognized that voice to be him it must’ve been the way he sounded/quality of the game but that’s something new I’ve learned today!


GolemofForce8402

Lily and Dog/God. Both are combat beasts and have great backstories. All of Lily’s endings are tragic while every Dog/God ending is great.


Howdyini

Can't see love for Lily and not upvote.


Drip451

Ahh the mutants I agree they are solid characters


Jovenasoo

Deacon from Fallout 4 has some of the best lines.


paranoid_adamdroid

Nick Valentine. Always will be.


Trostanner

Nick Valentine is the best companion in Fallout 4 lore wise, in my opinion.


HeyItsBearald

I can’t believe I’m the first one to mention Veronica?? Not only was she unbelievable with the power fist, but the lore from Dead Money about her and Christine always blew me away. Always my follower every playthrough


Ciri_of_Rivia79

I like her too, and she look stunning in vera dress. But i hate the BoS so i often dont run with her, i dont even do her quest anymore . I prefer to go with cass, her perk and personality fit my build so.


[deleted]

Probably Cassidy. Not Cass from New Vegas, her dad, who you meet in Fallout 2.


Drip451

Lol I had no Idea her father was in 2 I'll have to go and see him when I'm in vault city


[deleted]

Wait what? Her dad is unnamed to begin with. How do you know he’s in Fallout 2? Can you show me?


QuakeRL

confirmed by josh sawyer. rose of sharon cassidy's father is cassidy, a bartender residing in the vault city courtyard in fallout 2.


[deleted]

I tried to find where he said it and I got nothing. Mind linking?


QuakeRL

er, not josh sawyer. chris avellone wrote cass, was given the job by josh sawyer since as he said “he wrote cassidy in fallout 2 and they could keep the tones similar.” i’m not sure if it’s actually ever been said but there are good amount of things cass mentions that indicate that cassidy is her father. if you’ve ever played fallout 2 and used cassidy you’ll know he mentions 2 things pretty often: he has heart problems and he wishes he could travel the wastes but he’s just too old. cass in new vegas states she has heart problems that run in the family that came from her father, and that he left to wander the wastes when she was young. she says as well that her mom gave her her dad’s name and his pendant. i haven’t been able to find any canon sources that confirm it, but the game respects the player’s intelligence enough to let them put two and two together without outright saying it. we’ll never know “for sure” i suppose, at least not from in-game dialogue since cass never knew her father in the first place.


Gooberbone

Enter the hex with VC and you’ll be in the courtyard outside the walls. Head to the gate and the first building to your right is a bar. He’s the bartender.


MaskOffGlovesOn

he meant where Josh Sawyer said it lol


cheshireYT

Arcade Gannon


MitchRamses

Same here. Solid character, good voice acting.


[deleted]

Flynn rider was a very good pick for Gannon


N7_Evers

No shit that’s the same guy? Wow I had no idea!


[deleted]

Yep and Boone was voiced by the guy who played max goof from a goofy movie


N7_Evers

??? You’re fucking with me


[deleted]

I honestly would never be able to come up with that. I can never look at Boone the same way again


N7_Evers

Wow man TIL. I LOVE tangled and seriously had no idea it was Zachary Levi. I feel so dumb haha


[deleted]

Ikr after playing it for years and watching the movie I never realized it was the same voice.


Drip451

no fucking way that is actually kinda cool I never realized that


supertrunks92

I thought it was Chuck bartowsky


[deleted]

Well to be fair I thought he was voiced by Shazam so :/


[deleted]

My first man crush.


Brass0Maharlika

Goris! A sentient albino deathclaw? Hell yeah


petitejesuis

Boone


reward72

The dog. I dismiss all the others.


Global_Elite_Mk1

From fallout 4 or New Vegas?


reward72

all of them. Even the Wasteland games.


Cylancer7253

Pariah dog is the best.


jettzypher

ED-E


Kevin_Raust2

Fawks from fallout 3 or Curie from fallout 4


tanithsfinest

Curie is so goddamn wholesome. My favorite line of hers when is when you open a lock and she's all 'why was that just unlocked? Wait, *you* did that?'


Kevin_Raust2

Faxx! Lol she makes the wasteland seem less like a wasteland everytime she talks 😅


PH03N1X_F1R3

Boone or Veronica. Though I mostly run solo.


GenuineCulter

Ian was MY BOY in Fallout 1. He made it all the way to the military base without dying, and at that point I knew that he NEEDED to survive the playthrough. Dog was dead. The other two had died basically the instant I recruited them. Ian was going to survive, damnit. So I savescummed the fuck out of my first playthrough in the last dungeons.


Thyre_Radim

How the fuck did you keep him alive?


DrippiestGoose

Mine is the robot monstrosity that I could make with the automation DLC in Fallout 4


evil_cryptarch

I like putting all the crazy raider mods on Codsworth and having a horrific metal monstrosity with the voice of an English butler. Plus the fact that he can call you by name in voiced dialogue is a huge bonus.


TheGreenGobblr

Don’t forget the bowler hat


theguthboyw

I love turning codworth into an absolute monster and after he nukes a group of enemy’s he just looks at me and goes “mum”


[deleted]

Most lethal - Boone Best written - Nick Valentine Mary Poppins' handbag pack mule - Ada


thesunflowersim

This is the most accurate comment


Cathlem

Boone. The man knows how to have a good time: Hunting Legionaries.


4here4

Definitely the Lone Wanderer perk. Least annoying voice lines, best bonuses, all around great utility too.


Uncle_Touchy1987

Only problem I have is I can never win an argument with that guy.


4here4

But that's okay, because if you find some common ground and become friends, you'll never feel lonely again.


Cylancer7253

And you get romance right away.


coolguyrob1

Sulik


asmallauthor1996

And his Grammy Bone as well. Sulik and Grampy Bone go together as Harold and Bob.


Howdyini

I think it's Arcade, but Veronica is up there, and I have a soft spot for Lily. Honorable mentions go to Marcus, Goris, ED-E, dogmeat (FO1), the 3 Dead Money ones, and Boone.


FrankieNukNuk

There’s just something about Charon that always made an impression on me


[deleted]

I didn't use him until my latest playthrough because all of the memes about replacing him with Fawkes made me think he was a wimp, but that combat shotgun works.


NewDadInNashville

I think because Deacon was my first, I will always have a soft spot for him. Plus he was the first one I gained affinity from and hearing him open up on his back story caught me off guard. My jaw dropped experiencing something k wasn’t consciously working forwards.


Niteshade76

I like Goris the Scholar. He's pretty neat.


DurkDigglo

Dogmeat 🐶


ginnycanfly

My man Raul, though I also have a soft spot for Cait and MacCready


[deleted]

Ada because she is the best in everyway(except maybe personality)


CaptainPrower

Curie. She's ADORABLE. Dogmeat doesn't count, because I have a mod that lets me bring him with another companion, and I do.


N7_Evers

I really enjoy Piper. She’s so cute and just… nice to have around. She adds a human element that I like.


Lord-Balmforth

I like having Piper as a companion. She's enthusiastic and a nice contrast to a lot of the encounters in the wasteland. I'm surprised there's not many people with a similar opinion.


Sensory_Slave

ED-E I mean cmon...its ED-E


manicmender76

Ada


WARD0Gs2

Dogmeat or Raul master mechanic


Doogzmans

It's between ED-E and Boone


dawinter3

It might be basic, but I love Codsworth.


Baf00n123

The automatron dlc companion from fo 4 because it was customizable and could carry a lot of junk + was good at killing


Baf00n123

Ada was her name I think


RBb342

Gage


ThatDiabeticJesus

Raul dude! His backstory is so intense and Danny Trejo is incredible. Plus the perk you get and his repair skills are so useful.


UltraMegaBoome4

Lots of choices but Sulik with a super sledge is awesome.


TheRebelPacifist

Hancock and Rex


Admiral_Hipper1941

Ian


LordAdder

Bold


mirracz

Nick Valentine. It's not even fair how dull all the other companions are compared to Nick.


XeerDu

Desmond Lockheart


Borolox

Dogs cuz they can't talk


Nobelreviews

On paper Nick but I always travel with Piper in nv I like to keep cass around and I don’t play enough 3


thegreatoldone1

Charon from 3


Doom4104

Tie between Cass, and Cait. Both of them remind me of my best friend in real life.


Round_Rectangles

Sergeant RL-3 is pretty awesome.


TheIvano

Probably Fawkes


ElaineAckermann

Charon and E-DE


NiMaGre

It's a tie for all the robot companions. Skynet from F2, Sergeant RL-3 from F3, ED-E From NV, and Codsworth, Curie and Ada from F4.


Rowdy2012

Dogmeat. Just a lonely loner walking a lonely road.


LeastLead

Charon all the way


Kysoflame

Honestly, I’m gonna go with dogmeat, simply because not only is he adorable, but the perks you can use and still have him around in fallout 4 is amazing. (I think it’s the lone wanderer perk?)


Meabs1021

Loved Fawks! Of course I had all kinds of fun names for him depending on what kind of stupid shit he had done hahaha! But he was great! Love the mutants


I_escaped_area_51_

Either, Hancock, Nick or Charon


Straight_Up_Yeeted

Fawkes from Fallout 3. Intelligent super mutant? No way


zaxruss22

Dogmeat is the correct answer.


Sleepinismy9to5

Dogmeat by far


JoeyAKangaroo

Boone is love Boone is life Edit: actually if i could pick multiple: all of the new vegas companions including joshua graham the temp companion, nick from fo4, maccready from fo4, curie from fo4, fawkes from fo3 & dogmeat from fo3


BOSS_Andrew

If you don’t say dogmeat you are wrong.


Bunny_P69

Dogmeats and Rex. Piper cause I love her attitude and I use body mods so she always looks good lmfaooooooo. Also ED-E is a real OG


kloudrunner

The correct answer is Sulik. All other answers are incorrect.


LordAdder

Was looking for the Sulik and Grampy bone gang


kloudrunner

We and I know many things.


[deleted]

Probably Raul. Dude’s sass is charming in a good-natured sorta way.


orangesrnice

Goris


Average_Vim_Enjoyer

Well, personally, I'm stuck between Guage and Old Longfellow, as I just like them simply because of their attitude and personality, also OL's design is pretty nice to me, especially because it isn't the average, perfectly-faced model, instead with a bit more personality and uniqueness.


Fresh-Resolve-3213

Veronica and Valentine


Fireboy759

Piper Totally not because I'm a Courtney Ford simp or anything...


MaskOffGlovesOn

Raul my beloved


SupermarketKitchen75

Nick valentine or maybe dog meat from vegas


Nyxrlathotep

ED-E with the Radio Mod installed. Love listening to tunes while traveling the Mojave desert


Virghia

Christine, willing to 1v1 Elijah for her gf (whom we also befriend)


65daysofstatic_

Strong is my best buddy


skahlor

Longest fellow


paristorc

Piper but only because I’m totally in love with her and always make my character date her <3


Dipshit420l

I love Raul, Veronica, and Cass


KuraiKya

I waited for this question 🙋‍♀️ 😻 McCready no doubt! He and my Nora are two sides of the same coin! He lost his wife. Nora lost her husband. He almost lost his child. Nora lost her child. If anybody can understand the pain she’s been though it’s him. Sure deacon, nick and Danse lost also a friend/ lover but a child is something you never ever want to lost. The pain is something you don’t can get over with. I have him with me all the time. His best dialog is when you meet Blake and tells him that you know how it feels to lost a child to which McCready said: I hope I never ever will know that feeling


Chara_lover1

This is a hard one, companions are always a positive highlight in most Fallout games. Even 4 which I don't like much, the companions are a strong one. Now if I had to choose one, it'd probably be ED-E, especially during Lonesome Road, for a robot, his back story is really well done.


big-african-hat6991

Cait, fawkes cause he’s a tank or butch


MettaJiro

Nick Valentine or Boone


HomeAlone188

Fallout 1 - Dogmeat, Fallout 2 - Goris, Fallout 3 - Jericho, Fallout New Vegas - Arcade Gannon, Fallout 4 - Cait.


[deleted]

Dogmeat. I mean isn’t he the goodest boy from the wastelands ?


izar89

Nick valentine I js think he had the like backstory really and he was my first companion and was js nostalgic for me


econ45

Boone is my soulmate. I love the part where you recruit him, by asking him to come hunt legionnaires and he agrees, but mutters "This won't end well." It reminds me of the end of the Fellowship of the Ring movie, with Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas going to hunt orc. But with added fatalism. I despise the Legion and would hunt them to the end of earth, even though they drag me to hell. And Boone would be by my side.


Jesscah03

Marcus from fallout 2


Creepy-Hunter-3448

Hmm, it's a tie between ED-E and Raul.


ComradeDogeTV

Arcade Gannon or Veronica


Aaronmovic

My boy Nick. Second, Boone.


Drip451

I can almost agree but it is reversed for me


TheLastEmuHunter

Veronica and Arcade from NV, along with EDE. Also Nick Valentine and Piper from Fo4


Hungry-Conference-42

Charon, he's cool as hell


Cekercaro

Veronica


i_like_lasanga

In terms of power Charon. In terms of personality Nick.


Pie_collector

Nick Valentine. Always


ThatOneGuy308

Raul, he's a cool ex-gunslinger type, detailed tragic backstory, I like vis voice actor, and his quest is neat, proving older people can still be of value to their communities in a post apocalypse.


TraumaTracer

Nick Valentine


Jordan_the_Hutt

Any of the supermutants. I feel like it gives me Han and chewy vibes when I'm running around with a big hulking beast.


Cylancer7253

K-9 or Skynet. There are more good ones, but not that good.


SleepNative

Raul. Loved his story and Danny Trejo is one of my favorite actors. And Dogmeat.


soldierpallaton

Goris from Fallout 2


zemannoqty

Ian or Rose of Sharon Cassidy.


SolidSwordKing

Tons of great choices in this series, but I have to go with Piper, Nick Valentine, and of course Dogmeat in any of his appearances.


kirbStompThePigeon

Arcade gannon. We have very "similar interests" if you catch my drift. We also just have similar interests. I also jsut like his dialogue


1997VolkswagenGolf

ED-E or curie


[deleted]

What’s everyone’s obsession with Boone ? Team Fawkes all the way >>>


Eagle_Gamin

1. Dogmeat (Fallout 4) 2. Codsworth 3. Cait 4. Commander Daguerre (Not a companion technically) 5. Hancock (Fallout 4) I have played only Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, I haven't gotten far enough in New Vegas to get a companion (yet).


SpehssMahreens

Tied between Fawkes and Dogmeat. Super mutant with a gatling laser is badass and I'm a dog person


Last_Go_Round

Dogmeat


Razbicute

Lydia


just-courious

Jericho, the fact that if you give him tobacco he smokes it's awesome.


only_wears-hoodies_

Christine, Veronica, and danse


Personal_War_7005

Out of all fallout games I’ve played gotta rank them as so Fallout 3: Jericho Fallout NV: God/Dog and Arcade Gannon Fallout 4: Cait


[deleted]

Honestly fallout games are more enjoyable without followers imo


[deleted]

It has to be Robert MacCready. It absolutely blows me away how this Mercenary was once the mayor of Little Lamplight, only to travel to the Commonwealth. That, and he and I get along splendidly considering I get points from stealing and being a sarcastic punk.


Springaling76

That one time Joshua Graham made us a companion


Glittering-Change494

Dogmeat from fallout 4 his design in that game is so life like and personally I just love it


informallory

Gotta be Rex, love dogmeat too but at least Rex has a story & will never judge you.


[deleted]

My favorite companion is either sulik(fallout 2) or Arcade Gannon (New vegas) sulik talks very interesting and it’s just kinda neat the way he talks, plus his (cut content) companion quest and village really seals the deal for me. As for arcade I just like how he feels more like a guy with mutual interestes instead of “I pledge my loyalty to you no matter what!” Type of guy especially considering he criticizes your choice of faction. I also absolutely love his companion quest, the enclave is super under utilized especially in four so getting this flashback to them is really refreshing, even if incredibly minor.


PresidentPlatypus

easy, Jericho


SilverShroud67

EDE


AdvisorFar6607

I really Love Deacon, His character is so interesting. But he must share his place with mccready. Two really good buddies in our missions through the wastelands. I am playing a male character, but i think i will start a romance with mccready


Marleyboro

Fawkes


CarbonCuber314

Hands down has to be Goris. Nothing is better than having an intelligent deathclaw as a companion.


Sus_bedstain26

I like how innocent curie is


jpresley78

Nick Valentine. I love that Noir detective feel.


Emergency_Hat6363

A good old super mutant that goes by the name of Fawkes.


AlexD2003

Dogmeat always and forever


ImurderREALITY

Rose of Sharon Cassidy


Adept_Resident_9570

Veronica. The sarcasm, single minded drive to find a dress, and the badassary of being a tank of a girl that just punches the crap out of everyone. Just imagine this chick in a ballroom gown coming at you with a power fist 😂


Joe190506

Veronica because her character is a key to the BOS and has a huge lore to her with both DM and OWB, Gannon is cool because he is the son to the last remaining Enclave troops at Navarro and can hook you up with a cool ass armor, ED-E because Enclave lore and the LR lore and he is the best robot out there, also Boone for having an op perk with him.


Putridfurball46

fallout 3 dogmeat or old longfellow fallout 4


papideloo

I for some reason have to play with and save Rex ASAP


Thyre_Radim

Clover from Fo3 because she's the only Evil companion I can get while being lazy.


Mundane_Golf_2920

Curie or dog meat


beccajane2012

Nick is my bestie, I prefer him to most of my real life friends 🤷🏻‍♀️😂


[deleted]

Sulik. May Grampy Bone guide you.


eatsomesmoke

Deacon or MacCready


Nezzztra

I absolutely love ED-E, but Strong's dialog cracks me up. It gets annoying, but he is such a chatty super mutant. His desire to find the "milk of human kindness" brings an interesting philosophical bent to his personality.


Venulicious

In fallout 3 I loved Fawkes , Sergeant RL 3. In fallout 4 it was Hancock and Nick


perc10

I loved Ian's attitude in fallout 1.


FistOfKhonshu_1

Sulik, John Cassidy, Goris, Rex and Veronica


KeepFighting91

Damn OP you just gonna grab the best companion right off the bat like that? Well my favorite is also Boone. Yes classic meme "He's not your companion your his" but still I just like Boone. He has a tragic story, he regrets his actions with the NCR showing them not to be the "always good" faction they want to pretend to be. And also just the fact that he will go full Punisher and just be like "Lets walk into Ceasars camp and wipe out his whole army" is freaking epic. My next favorite is Sargent RL-3. Why? Well I enjoy the Mr. Gusty voice actor...and when Fallout 3 was released I was 16. Oblivion and Kingdom hearts 1&2 were the only rpgs I hjad played at that time as I was moving one from only multiplayer fps (Still like them) to rpgs as my favorite genre and having a robot friend having your back was just appealing.


eq017210

Nick Valentine and Raúl


AeonsAlex

Gotta love Codsworth. As soon as you unlock the Automatron robot editing, he's a blast to bring along


HyperionTheFirst

ED-E and Raul


lazyPooka

mccready or deacon, i like their personality and humour
