Dogmeat was best. He could kill almost anything in the game and his only downfall was that he couldn't wear armour.
>>
>>341434543
you never found dog armor, anon?
>>
>>341433630
because you can take built to destroy and if you say the right things during Raul's quest for the Full Maintenance perk, you retain the benefits of Built to Destroy and lose the only drawback of it.

Because he has the most interesting backgrounds. Raul was really the pinnacle of Obsidian writing.

Boon and Ed-E made the game easy modo. You could spot and kill enemies from across the map.

he doesn't talk a lot. And he doesn't have as many funny lines.

Sulik. You find him early on and can use him through pretty much the entire game. That's the definition of a bro.

I didn't think Raul was interesting.

Danny Trejo doesn't do thoughtful mexicans all that well. He's more a visual perfomer.

i cri every time, maybe because I have a younger sister too so it easy for me to related to his story.

Although, I would be interested in seeing him in a GTA game. I think he'd do well with an ove the top character.

You don't need to keep him alive by the time you're at Mariposa unless you built your character like a retard.

yeah he had good dialogue but he killed everything before i got a chance to do enough damage for the XP. i had to dismiss him, he was too good for me to keep up.

Lily is a fucking beast though, i saw her kill three deathclaws by herself once. just give her a super sledge and she can take care of herself.

My favourite is Rose of Sharon Cassidy. She takes out low/mid level enemies pretty damned fast, she's a country girl, she understands the importance of revenge, pretty laid back most of the time, tells it like it is.

She also has my favourite line.

I liked Charon. Unquestioning, intimidating, blows things away with his shotgun.

He goes down like a bitch against The Enclave though, in my experience.

>>341437207
The list isn't high to low tier, it's more about why you would want any particular person in your group. It's more of a joke than anything.

his perk is very useful in my opinion. i hate it when i kill a bunch of people and i can't find their bodies. also, caves.

First playthrough on New vegas i had Boone as companion and progressed so much with getting to know his backstory.I thought it would be good idea to take him to blackmountain at low level, so many super mutants with sledgehammers. I killed most but one ended up decapitating Boone because i was careless, walked up to his corpse that had a letter that read as follows.

"Carla,

If you're reading this, then you know. Sorry. Wanted to make it back home to you.

The pension won't be much but it should help you and the baby get by. Want you to remarry when you meet the right person. Don't want you to have to be on your own.

Not sure the right way to say how I feel about you. Think you know already, though. Always seemed like you knew what I meant, maybe better than I did. Wish I was there with you now.

There are things I couldn't tell you. Tried. Whatever you learn over time about my service in the NCR, hope you can forgive me.

Lastly, know you were against it, but if it's a girl, want her to be named after her mother. Know it’s playing dirty to win the argument this way, but too bad. It's worth it.

Craig"


Felt really bad because i didn't know of any way to bring him back and never thought of loading a save and just carried on. Got hit with many feels, and this is why New vegas was better than F4

>>341435354
there's nothing there for him 'cept for bad memories

>>341436289
>that whore you get from Paradise Falls was my favorite

She was annoying as fuck. I reloaded my save and got my 1000 caps back as soon as I heard "MMM-HMM YOU CAN TAKE ANYTHING YOU LIKE, LOVER."

>FO3 had prostitues, slavers, you could literally buy a sex slave/bodyguard
>NV had raping raiders and Vegas strip prostitutes

What happened to the edge in Fallout. Not necessarily saying edginess is good of bad but it suits the wastes right? What does FO4 have in this category? I'm pretty deep into the game and haven't encountered anything really vile out there in the wastes.

In Fallout 2 you could literally be a slaver and go on slaving runs.

People treated you like shit if you were. As it should be. Choice and consequence.
