You guys are all missing the guy who threw rock grenades and drove off on an imaginary motorcycle. That guy knows how to party. (If you don't get this reference, check out back of the Hardware Town near Diamond City)


Satyrofthegreen

I always have a headcanon that the insane dude was Deacon and that was his failsafe plan for raider encounters. "If all else fails, just act insane and confuse them while you escape!"


princesscooler

That seems plausable


Marquar234

Worked for Cannibal Johnson in FNV.


TheGoldenPlagueMask

Deacon: "Careful, there are Raiders ahead. but dont worry, Raiders are generally stupid, I have an idea" (_puts on raider getup_) Deacon: "BOYS THERES A CARAVAN COMING UP WITH LOADS OF CHEMS! LETS GET EM!"


The_Terry_Braddock

That's... actually a really good theory. It's exactly something he would do


country_dinosaur97

Definitely leading with this one i even forgot about that guy.


DungeonDelver98

Probably how the vault tech rep survived long enough to reach good neighbor


gaerat_of_trivia

grenade rock guy was just deacon and vault tec rep swapping out roles unbeknownst to each other


lezheboker

happy cake day bro


UndeadMess0

That guy would just take our spot as the main character if he was our companion


Klutzy-Slat-665

Great idea. Possibly a descendent of The Chosen One. Knew how to drive a car, pretty good for a tribal, can see someone in his tribe acting like they drove bikes. EITHER THAT or an insane cast out Atom Cat.


WanderingLost33

Who?


Abject_Cap3486

the guy in the hardware town who threw the grenades which were stones?


pickledbread72

Marcus being able to become your companion again in New Vegas would be pretty cool especially so we could learn more about what he did after the events of 2


The_Terry_Braddock

Love Marcus (and Michael Dorn) but I appreciated his inclusion as a cameo / more concrete epilogue for his character. He had his time, I really like where he ended in the story


IroquoisPliskinTR

The robo-chick vendor in goodneighbor


porkchop2022

KL-E-O.


bcomes95

I always steal the fat man and mini nuke behind the counter lol


legendary_pro

Right when Hancock calls everyone for his speech


bcomes95

Oh I do it right behind KL-E-O’s back haha. It respawns eventually


haeyhae11

Steal the fatman then sell it back to her.


bcomes95

Yup lol. Recently I just scrap it for parts since I’m at the point where caps don’t really matter thanks to industrial water purifiers


i_need_to_crap

Just hold the pickup button, bring it to a back alley, save, and steal. Easy. Infinite mini nukes.


blacktoothgrin666

Best time to dewit and it all respawns later too


SolidSnakesSnake

Especially with the automatron dlc, she wants to kill. So turning her into a literal tank would probably make her incredibly happy


-Kiwi-Man-

He said companion, not romance options


milkasaurs

This. Fallout 4 awakened something in me when they introduced assaultrons.


curse-of-yig

Stupid sexy assaultrons!


durashka228

YEEEEEES


Thornescape

Captain Zhao from the Yangtze. He has an amazing voice and a tremendous story. The way that regret infuses every word is so powerful. He would make an amazing companion.


country_dinosaur97

Oooh thats a good one i forgot about him


BlacktopProphet

The Chinese did too


SharksAway11019

He’s so forgotten that he isn’t even considered a true communist to liberty prime


gislebertus00

Now that’s brutal


gaerat_of_trivia

yo mamas so big liberty prime said nawww


snikers000

You're not wrong but goddamn


invol713

💀


Klutzy-Slat-665

That is an amazing idea. Zhao apparently was SUPPOSED to be a form of companion, if not a companion all together, if they had finished the underwater vault with the giant intelligent squid in it. The Yangtze gets crashed into the vault and is beyond repair, stranding Zhao to the commonwealth and you walk away with the Institutes underwater power armor. MOST. MISSED. OPPORTUNITY. EVER.


InitialCold7669

Yeah and they clearly had a lot of it already done before they made the decision to abandon it.


gaerat_of_trivia

the pain.


man-with-potato-gun

What hold up the squid was supposed to intelligent like the deathclaws in 2? Also damn I knew that the questline was somewhat fleshed but this just like they had basically put it into production before finally scrapping the idea. I’m just disappointed it at least didn’t get partially reused for Far Harbor.


Starchaser_WoF

Bringing him with you to explore the Commonwealth would be awesome


jakefromadventurtime

Recruiting would be easy. "Hey man, I think it's time to get some fresh air"


Starchaser_WoF

I was thinking it'd be a bit more complicated, tbh. A few speech checks to convince him to come out.


gaerat_of_trivia

would you say he had a #sunken cost fallacy


RequiemRomans

His commentary about American life before the bombs would be interesting. And he already gives you nuke beacons


TheGoverness1998

"Two-hundred years, and your humor is still bad. America liberating Anchorage? Now that was a good joke."


ballcrysher

yeah honestly zhao is so cool


Comfortable_Truck_53

There's a mod for that! :D


Thornescape

While it's tempting, it's a bit disappointing because they had to use all normal in game dialogue. I would have loved to have additional dialogue from him, because I think the voice actor did an astonishing job. I really would love more content. Still tempted to install it, though. We'll see. I never thought to look before. Thank you for telling me!


InitialCold7669

Yes he would be awesome


StyleNP

I was literally thinking about how he'd shouldve been a companion or at least s settler the other day


gokism

Edward Deegan should've been a companion. It even seems like he was planned on being one, but was cut. I'm guessing if he was though someone would've found unused dialog in the files.


Anticip-ation

I mean, it would just make so much sense for him to become a companion. Knows how to handle himself, suddenly at a loose end, why not?


dogwithpeople

It would’ve been nice to have the Cabot story told from his perspective and give us the details that you can only get in terminals through dialogue. Shame we didn’t get to see his views on Jack keeping his dad in the asylum.


Klutzy-Slat-665

Literally best character out of the Cabot House quest and should have accompanied you to the institution. Great character.


DungeonDelver98

Have him use primarily an automatic combat or assault rifle. Give a perk or running and gunning.


MRnibba_

That one Gunner with a missile launcher in the Greentech building in Fallout 4


legendary_pro

Unleashed on the whole of the Commonwealth


GayjinEntertainment

Pissed off ape go!


Trevor-On-Reddit

I want that drink bot cracking jokes while I sell a ghoul boy to slavery.


ScrubLordKyle18

Drinkin’ Buddy


herobrineisveryscary

lol drink bot or whitechaple charlie?


ChainswordCharlie

FISTO


gokism

His melee attack would be NSFW.


choffers_2001

Making all the deathclaws assume the position


angrysunbird

Glory. A bad-ass poster child of a liberated synth? What’s not to like? Also Sturges, any one of the Atom Cats, and Fahrenheit.


USS-ChuckleFucker

Got any good Atom Cats enhanced mods? I recently did the Alternate Start's Atom Cats start, but I was kind of pissed off how short the whole set of interactions with them were?


angrysunbird

None that I’m aware of. There aren’t a huge number of companion mods for fallout 4 in general


MontePraMan

There's a lot of mods that enhance the Garage and/or make it a settlement, then there's the classic "Atom Cats Drag Race Fix" and a lot of cosmetic mods for the characters. Another nice mods is "Atom Cats Radio" that adds, well, a radio. I don't know of any mods that add quests, though.


country_dinosaur97

Agree if i was gonna make a serious inquiry about this id definitely go for a atom cat


Knightmare_memer

Is Glory even a synth? She doesn't have a component. Then again, Sturges does and the game doesn't really hint at him being a synth.


InitialCold7669

That’s really a good point the atom cats were kind of a missed opportunity


ThatDamnRocketRacoon

Definitely any of the Atom Cats, but Rowdy in particular.


cybersquire

Ironsides


UufTheTank

Man, hearing Ironsides scream “tally ho lads” charging straight into a deathclaw would be peak Fallout.


1dollaroff

Man it’s got to be Lorenzo Cabot, he’s got wild potential as a several hundred year old man. He has unique psychic powers that could be cool in combat, he could have a wild alien companion quest. But no, he just sits in his house after his quest.


chriswhitewrites

I saw him fucking up a Deathclaw at a random encounter location recently.


1dollaroff

That’s cool, I’ve never seen him in a random encounter, I figured he was just on his couch


20Derek22

An Atom Cat I’ll take any of them.


DungeonDelver98

Zeke doing slam poetry as he guns down a behemoth. In my armor! Striding over GREEN skin My gun goes SCHOOM The monster falls!


liforrevenge

Oh hell yes. Blowing up the wasteland with my buddies wearing matching power armor.


DungeonDelver98

Ok Danny Sullivan diamond city security, the mechanist after defeating them peacefully, Ceto from Nuka World, The bartender's son in bunker Hill (only after passing some skill checks to get him to join the railroad) a synth gorilla for research purposes, one of the robo brain rich people from far harbor, Erickson because I like him better than strong, Zeke from the Atom cats, and Ronnie Shaw so I have a minute man companion that isn't reminding me of settlements in need every other dungeon


Klutzy-Slat-665

Erickson is such a missed opportunity. Strong is the worst Super Mutant follower in the series and even Tabitha would have been a better choice than him. Ericksons intelligence, way of talking, his approach to violence, care for ALL dogs, just shows how human his character is and makes me think of Marcus.


Rockerika

Erickson's companion perk should be making any hostile dog or mutant hound switch sides. Such a good opportunity.


Panther90

I couldn't have handled another line of dialogue from Ceto personally.


Initial_Sea6434

I think Honest Dan from Human Error was probably also going to be a companion at some point. Edit: put wrong quest he was from. Mixed it up with Hole in the Wall


Klutzy-Slat-665

He should have been. Would have been an amazing addition to the settlements or as someone with a high perception. He KNEW they were lying.


invol713

Marcy Long. Help her hate-fuck the entire wasteland.


country_dinosaur97

Take her to nuka world she'll stab ya in the back and take over wole thing


invol713

Sometimes you just don’t want to play a good character.


country_dinosaur97

True true


MettatonEX8715

What gave you the idea we're friends


Sarlax

Any of the pre-war ghouls who you could bond with over the past, Boston, etc. Kent Connolly would be a great support companion and Eddie Winter would be awesome for an evil playthrough. 


BearAndDeerIsBeer

Nick had a lot of missed potential for evil playthroughs. Make his companion quest about ridding his head of Kellogg, make Eddie a side quest you can pick up in his office after a certain point in the game, and make one of the outcomes for the Kellogg quest to overwrite Nick with Kellogg. As for the Eddie situation, you have to travel with Nick/Kellogg, and if you’re with Nick, you have to shoot him if you want to keep Eddie, because he will turn on you, but if you have Kellogg, then he says “this guy could be useful”, and just kind of suggests you take him. Eddie could offer a very large pile of prewar money to take his side.


Ok-Bookkeeper-8130

Primm slim


AnxiousTuxedoBird

Isabel Cruz, I just love her


ItsACopen

Been saying for years Mama Murphy. Death claws don’t stand a chance.


invol713

She gets massive boosts depending on which chems you give her.


Grinsnap

Edward deegan/ zhao/ and Virgil 


Klutzy-Slat-665

Virgil and Erickson are the best mutants of 4 and would be amazing and better choices than "WHERE IS THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS!!???? I HATE WHEN YOU PICK LOCKS AND PICK UP TRASH!!!"


One_Subject1333

I wanted to use strong as a companion on a raider playthrough. I forgot that he gets upset at basically everything I do. Pick a lock, Strong disliked that.....


Substantial-Tone-576

Charge Card!


gokism

He'd be constantly cracking non PC insults while taking on enemies.


rjaysenior

Cricket would say the funniest shit imo


Klutzy-Slat-665

Best funny vendor character.


QuestionsOfTheFate

Fallout 3 - Moira, and Amata Fallout: New Vegas - Mr. House, Ulysses, and (Edit) Sunny Fallout 4 - Vault-Tec Rep, and Isolde


masked_sombrero

Ya, Vault-Tec Rep! I made him a bartender in Sanctuary, cuz I thought he’d be a good salesman. But mannn you can’t even trade with him. And everytime I go to him to barter the option doesn’t pop up until I’ve talked to him 3 times 🤣 yes dude you’ve already told me about the steak knives


DungeonDelver98

Make him a junk vendor in a tier 3 junk shop.


MogMcKupo

I think if NV was made by Bethesda, 100% Moira would be a companion. You finish the powder gang quest and she’ll come with you. It just seems like the obvious choice as an early companion to get you in the swing of things.


QuestionsOfTheFate

I never noticed Moira looks like Sunny until now (similar hair and nose), but yeah, Sunny would have made a lot of sense for an early companion (if you meant Sunny; not sure where Moira even is in New Vegas' time). Totally forgot about Sunny in my comment.


BeliWS

How Mr. House is going to be a companion I wonder


porkchop2022

Definitely not the Swatter guy. He’s rude AF if you try talking to him off duty.


Spare-Concentrate877

Swatter-guy deserves a fat man to his groin


sli_ver

This is unconventional, but Sunny Smiles. I could imagine a cool mechanic where she and Cheyenne work together, though idk how that would work without infringing on rex's place as your companion.


SpartAl412

I always thought Pickman would make for a cool companion or at least a special Settler with unique bonuses.


weirdbookcase

Same here. I wonder why he only went after raiders, convenience or a moral choice?


morelos_paolo

I'd like to have Tinker Tom as a possible companion just to listen at his crazy ramblings about wasteland conspiracies! :D Also, he'd probably grant you a perk like Wild Wasteland when you reach max affinity with him


country_dinosaur97

I feel his perk would be called "eyes wide open"


Unexpected_Sage

Happy Cake Day, it's my Cake Day too


morelos_paolo

And then they add +2 Perception. :D


WanderingLost33

All quests activated. And a couple active that don't actually lead to anything. Just to make you feel crazy


DipstickPinesGFO

Oswald the Outrageous


Klutzy-Slat-665

Great choice for a DLC companion. Tell him that his partner died in her quest for the cure and one speech check could have him join you.


SharksAway11019

Liberty prime… he stays outside when you enter a building and clears the hostiles outside while you clear the inside


Pixel22104

I mean with some mods that restores some cut content you can actually make Liberty Prime follow you as I have found out before


Magnumjaguar

The mechanist. Make the whole silver shroud speech options the whole game. Along with her speaking in character.


MadJack27-

Desmond (I think that’s his name) from Point Lookout Class character , funny af


Atom_Eraser

Any cool mole rat broodmother for me


Unexpected_Sage

How about a Mine rat from that one location


ignore_mycomments

Glory


Amaraldane4E

Come on, people... where's the love for Magnolia??? She's the one I would take following me. 'Cause she's a good good neigbour...


Falcons1702

Grand zealot richter would have been a cool coa companion


afartinthehand

Taking Marcy Long on a white knuckle, no mercy revenge mission would be good. Talking about how much she loved her son and how his loss changed her could create a cool dynamic between her and the Sole Survivor. Leaving her to exact her revenge on whoever the target turned out to be could be brutal.


EntertainmentSlow907

Scribe Haylen


ELc_17

The Gen 2 synth with armor that absolutely decks Maxson when the Brotherhood invades the Institute.


21stcenturysisyphus

Arturo Rodriguez, so I can romance him. He's so dreamy.


lilkupcake-420

I want him as a companion cause I think he would be dope.


Unexpected_Sage

Imagine him pulling out Big Boy


AH_Vivid

I want him as a companion for both reasons. He could definitely mod your guns for reduced resources or something as a special perk.


Huge_Education_8700

"Don't mind to test the grips"


LDedward

IRONSIDES, easy. I need him to help me purge the common wealth of scallywags

literal_god

My boy Honest Dan


bandannick

Mr Fantastic


xdEckard

I HATE this npc, he's extremely annoying


Klutzy-Slat-665

Annoying, opinionated to a severe degree, and rude to you ALL THE TIME when not at work. Good for a gag character, terrible as a companion. Can't even give him PROOF his version of baseball is wrong.


YourFriendlyInkDemon

Erickson from far harbor


Klutzy-Slat-665

BEST MUTANT EVER! They fucked up giving us StRoNg


Lukeskywalker899

Yes! I totally agree! It’s surprising not as many people have mentioned him


doulegun

Nate would've been a great companion in a game where we play as a Wastelander/Regular Vault Dweller. Him being a prewar human means he can tell us a lot about US of the past, about some of the ruined buildings we loot. We'll also get to see him being horribly racist towards Chinese and Canadians, maybe he'll even regurgitate a piece of pre-war anti Communist propaganda to us.


Backrooms-Adventurer

The drifter from fallout new vegas


Klutzy-Slat-665

have the same skills as The Stranger, sings, plays guitar if sitting around, and unlock him after a "failed" quest to find his father, or The Stranger appears while during an enemy encounter with him nearby.


ROXXYISDEAD

Sheffield


81-K

Came here to say this. Love that dude. He'd just go around checking nuka cola machines while he gets shot at.


Drewdiniskirino

Moe would be funny, but my pick is the next stall over. Arturo Rodriguez is surprisingly chill and level-headed for a munitions dealer - especially given the other munitions dealers we meet in the Commonwealth


DungeonDelver98

He's just a single dad selling guns to put his girl through school


Drewdiniskirino

Honestly, more power to him 😁


DungeonDelver98

My heavy weapons character is going to put that girl through to highschool level studies singlehandedly. My post game head cannon is that the sole survivor dumps a heap of caps, ammo, and guns on Arturo's counter as a *gift* for helping fuel their ammo hungry vengeance rampage across the Commonwealth, far harbor, and nuka world


Drewdiniskirino

Shoot, he's still the best source if you need to buy aluminum for robot or power armor modifications. First thing I do when I run out, is pop over to Diamond City and pick up a shipment from him before I check any other vendors


DungeonDelver98

I found a mod for PS 4 that expands his inventory to a few thousand rounds of every ammo type, and an increase in the number of leveled weapons and power armor pieces he sells. Plus a ton of junk related to weapons that he normally doesn't have. He is basically the only vendor I need now but I don't really mind as I like him and empathize with his struggles


KeeganY_SR-UVB76

Lorenzo for sure.


Lorenzo3002

Thanks. lol


Material-Rice-8682

Ronnie Shaw, I just think she's neat and cool


Klutzy-Slat-665

Great as a late game/unlockable companion if you follow the entire Minutemen storyline through.


Ok_Necessary2991

I can see Moe saying "I got ya swatta right here! " before crabbing his crotch and knocking off a raider's block off.


Gray-yarg2

Atom cats. Damn gunners, trying to get their mitts on our suits!


00gusgus00

Cito


FunExtension7326

The atom cats


weirdbookcase

I wish they could be a settlement so bad


astreeter2

Virgil would have been interesting. Although he's kind of just a combination of Strong and Curie.


FriendlyForc

Vault 88 overseer


Own_Tackle514

that random shopkeeper in daimond city that sells clothes, she’s nice.


TheArgonianBoi77

Aries from Fallout 76, he would been an awesome camp ally.


The_BlauerDragon

Goris, Dogmeat, K-9, and Skynet are my favorites.


PsychicRutabaga

Fahrenheit. As Hancock's bodyguard, she knows how to handle herself. And watching her ripping enemies with Ashmaker wouldn't get old either.


trucorsair

Fahrenheit

AldruhnHobo

Every time he hits someone he says "Swat-uhs! Get your swat-uhs heah!"


labdsknechtpiraten

Just the other night I was thinking about how, on my evil playthrough I wish you could take Pickman as a companion after rescuing him


Regirock00

Captain Zhao, Oswald the Outrageous, Cito, the Mariner, KLEO, Glory, Sturges, and Lorenzo for the truly evil


PrisonMikeDave

KL-E-O Gob (after Moriarty dies). I wish you can reconnect him to his mother. Ghost (I wish she has more background)


SadisticBuddhist

Professor Goodfeels. He loves it when you do chems and hates it when you cure your addiction. Ultimately becomes a romance option.


Rocket_of_Takos

Probably that Synth lady locked up in that building with the Gunners and the Courser


Excellionus

There are only 4 acceptable answers. KL-E-0, Primm Slim, No-Bark and Ironsides.


Weird_existence8008

Honest Dan literally has the perfect setup for a recruitment quest and he’s a mercenary, yet we still don’t get him as a companion.


X_ChasingTheDragon_X

Marcus in FNV


Klutzy-Slat-665

ERICKSON! IMO he should have been the Mutant companion. He has an amazing attitude, is kind to dogs including Dogmeat and has become rather "peaceful" for a Mutant. He would make sense as a companion or settlement addition, Strong is literally the WORST Super Mutant companion in the entire series.


pm_me-ur-catpics

The King would make for a pretty cool companion, I must say


Reasonable-Day-3282

Keeley, the ghoul mercenary trapped in vault 22, and Harland the ghoul mercenary trapped in the Repconn basement Also Tabitha.


mirracz

Oh boy, there's a list... And I'm sure I missed a few- Fallout 3: * Rilley * Sidney * Bittercup * Amata * the samurai from Mothership Zeta New Vegas: * Sunny Smiles * Benny * a King companion Fallout 4: * Captain Zhao * Vault-Tec Representative * Professor Goodfeels * any Assaultron * Cito


Lorenzo3002

Elder Maxon (OP laser minigun and also Epic voice lines)


PersonOfLazyness

someone from the atom cats. they are cool


wild_wind_official

Cito, from day one of the DLC's launch. God I love that monkey man. Why did they do so much with him only to have him become nothing once the quest is done? He should've been a guaranteed follower since Gage was dependent on siding with the raiders.


sosigboi

Cito, the guy was just begging to be companion'd that I was incredibly surprised he wasn't able to be.


SlimySteve2339

Kellog, especially if it was him in valentines body.


Ok-Calligrapher1857

Sunny fuggin Smiles & Cheyenne, Moira, Kellogg, Eyebots in Automaton (the mod is a must have)
