There&#8217;s loads of people you can take with you, to make those eerie Bostonian nights a little less creepy, and to give you a little bit of backup against the hordes of rampaging&#8230;everyone&#8230;that infests The Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p>But which one is best?

Yeah let&#8217;s not. He&#8217;s just as annoying as in the 3rd game, and now he&#8217;ll follow you home and take up valuable Sanctuary space if you let him. Send him back to Little Lamplight I say, no time for him.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Cait<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/cait.jpg\" alt=\"Cait\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s got attitude at least, but she makes up for that with being a bit too up in your grill. She&#8217;s not a fan of other people, or non-violence, or not taking loads of chems, so feel free to take her along with you. But be warned, she&#8217;s not a nice human being.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">X6-88<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/x6.jpg\" alt=\"X6\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only real problem with X6-88 is that you spend the whole time with him wishing he were\u00a0HK-47. It&#8217;s fine to have an evil robot, but whenever you see an evil robot there&#8217;s a worm inside you that just whispers &#8216;I miss HK-47&#8217;. That doesn&#8217;t mean there&#8217;s anything particularly wrong with X6-88, he&#8217;s just fine y&#8217;know? He&#8217;s ok.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Danse<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/danse.jpg\" alt=\"Danse\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another fine companion, Paladin Danse is fine. He&#8217;s ok. Absolutely fine. Is he bad? No, he&#8217;s fine. Just absolutely ok.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Deacon<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/deacon.jpg\" alt=\"Deacon\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Still just only &#8216;ok&#8217;, but he gets a bit more of a pass due to his ever evolving outfit collection. Also he&#8217;s on the right side of history, the Railroad are just the good guys, don&#8217;t @ me.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Curie<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/curie.jpg\" alt=\"Curie\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Curie gets bonus points because she&#8217;s a\u00a0<em>cool\u00a0<\/em>robot that just wants to help with the power of SCIENCE. Also you can smooch her up, so maybe that&#8217;s something to consider for all you robolovers out there. When I encountered her I did hide for a bit though, cos I thought she was hostile and was about to blast a hole in me. Nope though, she&#8217;s a friend. A big white sphere friend.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Dogmeat<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dogmeat.jpg\" alt=\"Dogmeat\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look he&#8217;s a dog so that makes him the winner right? Nope, his awesome points for being a dog get outweighed by him not having any character progression or character quest, making every second you spend with him feel like a bit of a waste. You could be unlocking Nick&#8217;s quest or dressing Hancock up instead. If only there was a reward for taking Dogmeat out with you, other than doggo joy.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Strong<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/strong.jpg\" alt=\"Strong\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Strong&#8217;s awesome for his strength. All the games since Fallout 2 have featured a Super Mutant companion, from the Worf-voiced Marcus of Fallout 2 tot he Worf-voiced Marcus of New Vegas. Strong is strong, and he&#8217;ll bash your enemies leaving you free to loot and dance and do whatever it is you want to do in Fallout 4. The only bad thing about Strong is that I found loads of armour for him before getting him, which kinda ruined the surprise that he&#8217;d be joining me. But that&#8217;s a tiny niggle.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Codsworth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/codsworth.jpg\" alt=\"Codsworth\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Codsworth wouldn&#8217;t be the highest rated Mr Handy droid\u00a0in this list if it weren&#8217;t for him saying your name. It actually gave me chills when he greeted me with a hearty &#8216;Mr. Alex&#8217;. It&#8217;s a simple trick, but it&#8217;s done well and makes him feel like he knows me and that he and my character share a history. His glee and breakdown when meeting you after the opening of the game gives a bit more depth to the character too, making him overall a Good Robot. Be kind to Codsworth, he&#8217;s fragile.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Piper<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/piper.jpg\" alt=\"Piper\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best worst journalist in The Commonwealth, Piper is a journo from the old school. She&#8217;s all about investigative journalism, she&#8217;ll get to the truth no matter what, all the time caring about her little sister. She&#8217;s a top companion, and she&#8217;d be further up this list if her prose wasn&#8217;t just atrocious. Seriously, someone hire her an editor, post-apocalyptic newspapers deserve better.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nick Valentine<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/nick.jpg\" alt=\"Nick\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best robot in the list, he&#8217;s a saint is our Nicky. A robot with heart, a robot with soul. Admittedly someone else&#8217;s soul, but it&#8217;s a soul nonetheless. Working the beat as a PI, you join him and help out with a bit of the old Private Investigations. He&#8217;s probably the only &#8216;pure&#8217; person on the planet by the time Fallout 4 starts, and who wouldn&#8217;t want to help that charming robot gent as he flatfoots around The Commonwealth? He&#8217;d be number 1 in our list, except for one person&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hancock<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/hancock.jpg\" alt=\"Hancock\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s Mayor Hancock to you. The most stylish gent in The Commonwealth, with a fine hat and a musical all about him (but don&#8217;t tell him about that last bit, he&#8217;ll just get a big head). He introduces himself to you in the best way possible, stabbing someone giving you hassle. He&#8217;s a loyal friend, a peaceful buddy, and also a violent chap. He&#8217;s a dichotomy is Hancock, but that just adds to the allure. Just look at those black eyes, who can resist?<\/p>\n<p>Also the best hat.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, your definitive list of best companions in Fallout 4, and we can see from this scientific analysis that Hancock, is best.<\/p>\n<p>You can get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/fallout-4\/\">Fallout 4 here<\/a>, for an apocalyptic price.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Still here?
