Yes, the Minutemen are probably the closest you’ll get to the standard “Good Guys” but even they could be perceived as naive, closed minded, and especially annoying when they won’t shut the hell up about settlements, but hey, we’ll get to that.Īnd in the same way, whilst the Institute are probably the most morally corrupt of the groups, they’re not necessarily evil. See, there aren’t really any definitive good or bad factions in Fallout 4. He’s always lecturing you about stuff that doesn’t matter and has the personality of oatmeal that’s been left out too long.Ĭold, bland, and generally fills me with a feeling of “Blegh.”īut what annoys me about this guy even more than his personality, is his influence on the players view of the Institute’s morality. Some may think i’m being too harsh here, but personally, I’ve always thought this guy was absolutely no fun to travel with.

The boring, pestering, teachers pet who hates kindness, coolness, anything that doesn’t fit the institutes ideology, and for some reason, your character not wearing clothes. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you the video game equivalent of a foot blister. So sit back, relax, and as always, Ad Victoriam. Not so much the perks they give you if you fully befriend them. Oh, and just so you know, I’ll be judging these characters mostly based on their personalities, ideologies, and how they affect the game. Naturally, this list will contain BIG spoilers for Fallout 4, but frankly if you haven’t played it by now, what are you doing with your life? So now I’m going to rank all the companions in Fallout 4 from worst to best! (Obviously) Some were lovely, some were badass, and some were so infuriating I’d rather travel with a horny deathclaw. Travelling with a fun, interesting, and well written character made Fallout 4 twice as interesting for me, and inspired many, many, MANY different run throughs, where I would hang out with other people that I missed. Now they would provide running commentary, react to your decisions, provide you with extra quests, and I think they generally felt more like real partners. I feel like it’s aged the best out of them all, and generally balances gameplay and story the best, even if the 4 responses system is more basic than a picture of a sunset with a sepia tone filter…Īnd of course we couldn’t forget about it’s vast improvements on companions! Your tagalongs were no longer just an extra gun, oh no.

And whilst some of the more O.G fans out there might disagree, personally I think Fallout 4 is the top dog.
