I believe we are talking about Fallout 3. No one is going to say that New Vegas had bad companions. Also, Arcade beats all.

Willow's for New Vegas.

Arcade's a bit whiny at times and he's positively useless without a gun. I mainly have him tag along just long enough to finish his quest, then he's set to sandbox perpetually at my player home while I roam the wastes with the usual suspects. I will agree that they're miles ahead of DC's followers, though. Dogmeat aside, of course...silly mutt could find weapons and had about three times more HP than God if you installed Broken Steel. Last time I had him in party, with a lvl 41 courier via TTW, he had somewhere on the neighborhood of 35,000 hit points :v:

Sorry, I didn't notice we were talking about a mod. I was desperately looking through the wiki for this Willow character and wondering if I was going insane. Also, Arcade may be the least useful companion but he is the funniest and most insightful companion. The guy teaches Latin AND makes snarky comments about our favorite cosplaying genocidal enslaving anachronistic killers led by a bald dude with a tumor!

I'll have to try out Willow if she's that good.

Raul's just my favorite.

Arcade reminds me of one of my old English Teachers, so I stuck with him a lot.
I always play intelligence characters, so if just felt appropriate to befriend him.

I was kinda sad that he was the only companion you couldn't keep after finishing his quest.

I wouldn't necessarily say he's the most useless companion. Give him a gauss rifle or something similarly high tier and he wrecks face, and in PA he's pretty tough. I just got annoyed at his constant "I'll have you know my covert bandaging skills are a bit rusty" bullshit.

Listen, Arcade, I didn't hire you for that. I can stab myself with stimpaks. I hired you to shoot the fiends, so shoot the fiends!

Most useless I would give to Lily, simply because she's quite limited in what sort of weapons she can even use. Pistols? most SMGs? 1h melee weapons? nope.avi, she couldn't use 'em if she tried. Big-ass super mutant hands just don't get along with 1911s it seems.

[Araknid]

Lily kicks ass but I don't like having her because she's way too big.

also 2 1/2 hours of shopping and an Ork shop keeper

I killed the most enemies with my gun :smug: and these were all headshots :smug::smug: and what the fuck am I posting here I really need more coffee

[Generic.Monk]

it's all about veronica and boone tbh, arcade was ok and I hate chuck so I didn't get a big old boner over the voice actor, but one thing I loved about the character or more specifically the writing was that he was gay but it didn't a) define his character like every shit hollywood movie ever or b) try not to define his character but be so terribly executed it did anyway i.e. bioware's 'm-MY HUSBANDO, HE DIED SO NOW I DRIVE YOUR SHUTTLE SHEPARD'

no, it was just something you could find out if you asked him, he mentions it in passing and it doesn't really come up much between you and him as friends. just like fucking real life.

[editline]5th May 2013[/editline]

best FO3 companion was def charon, he was all business so didn't have much dialogue for bethesda to ruin (and what there was was pretty badass), he was a ghoul which raises badass points by 10, his main weapon was a combat shotgun with the range of a rifle, and he had awesome combat chatter like 'come out, come out wherever you are'

[Samiam]

I never see many people say their favourite companion is Cass.

It might be just me, but she seems to take much more effort to get her to be a companion but seems to lack what makes the other companions good.

Also, my favourite companion in FO3 was Sergeant RL-3 because robots are cool.

[E3245]

My favorite companions were Cass, Boone, Raul, and Veronica. Somehow I get two or three following me somehow, I think it was a bug. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but it was a lot of fun eliminating Caesar's Legion or other factions with these guys.

[M.Ciaster]

Raul is the best companion in a video game, bar none. I mean, he's a fuckin' sarcastic ghoul voiced by Danny Trejo who owns ass in combat, what's more to like?

I really like the rest of them, too. Arcade's probably my second favorite, I think he was actually based on Josh Sawyer's PnP character, though I might be wrong.

[TorrentR]

I lit Willow on fire and threw her off Hoover Dam. Then I shot her in the head twice just to make sure that she doesn't become another Joshua Graham (Josephine Graham?)

I still keep Niner around but I whack him with a police baton if he doesn't behave.

Niner looks like white trash to me.

I didn't really like any of the companions tbh, I usually play solo because they get in the way too much.

Niner and Willow are piss-tier.

I've been playing some Fallout 1 & 2 from the Steam sale just now, and I was wondering:

Would you be willing to play a Fallout FPS-RPG with the older games' overworld system? A system where travel between locations is done on a simplified top-down map, with only random encounters and locations of interest actually having 3D environments to explore?

I think it makes the world feel a bit limited. It was fine with fallout 1&2 but I don't think it would work with a shooter.

[Lizzrd]

Why not? Would make the world feel more expansive, and you could have all these fancy random encounters like in FO1&2, together with that little feeling that you're never really safe.

Up untill that point you've got a whole squad with power armor, that is.

Cass had some good dialogue, though.

[/QUOTE]

If I were building that game there wouldn't be a distinction. To me a point of interest is quite literally anything that isn't simply a boulder in the desert sand. An old wrecked car, an abandoned house, anything not natural. Setting it up FO1/2 style removes exploring those locations entirely, and that would be a turn-off for me.

I know some people don't give a shit about poking around places like that, but I do. I always dig through them, partially to find random junk to sell and partially because I'm looking for tidbits about life before the war. I would rather have the current map setup, just with better fleshed out history.
