Worst companion to you?

[Mari]

To me Charon- it will go down in history as the most pointless companion- I can´t stand this useless figure- he dies every second, even the most powerful armor I gave him, he just wants to die all the time, even with tiny trivial mirelurk, who poked him once with his hoof. I hate this guy, now all ghouls gets fire!

[ArchAngelLnK]

Jericho or Dogmeat, Jericho because he's Raider scum and Dogmeat because without the Puppies perk he dies, imo as usual:)

[Mari]

I haven't tested them yet, but I already know from the first game, tathat Charon is the weakest link in this game!

[Myr]

Charon is one of the better companions due to his shotgun having no spread basically being a sniper rifle, that added to him having no karma requirement means anyone can use him. Yes he will die if he ends up in melee with multiple yao guai etc. on his own, but the same can be said for every companion other than Dogmeat and Fawkes. In this game you really need to not let other companions end up in melee on their own as they will die.

Clover is the worst companion by far, not only is she weaker and dies easier than the other companions, she is the only companion in the game who can go hostile and be killed by you based on normal gameplay rather than murder. As attacking Paradise Falls will result in her death which is expected for a "good" playthrough. Other karma based companions will still talk to you even if they refuse to join you but Clover goes full hostile.
I would also say the same about Jericho that you could kill him if you detonate Megaton... but even evil characters wouldn't do that, would you?

I found Dogmeat never died even without Puppies perk, he once got to low HP during a prolonged melee fight with max rank ghouls but he still survives what would have killed anyone else other than Fawkes.

I forgot about Butch, I hate that guy:)

[Vex Hilarius]

All of them are pretty terrible, both in terms of character and usefulness. Besides Fawkes and Dogmeat of course. But that's only because with both of them in your party you will never need to fire your weapon again.

Broken steel dlc brakes his hp to high levels

[MasterRazzerr76]

In my game playing on very hard my Dogmeat is pretty much unkillable two Reavers attack him and barerly does any damage to him

[LarryDavidLopez]

Dogmeat has always been like a literal tank on my playthoughs. Also the primary reason I can never bring myself to do an Evil run is because it locks me out of Fawkes. True, I can just stay good until recruiting them and then turn bad, if I ever do a DLC and they end up at the Museum, I'm screwed

[Skere Kaan]

seargeant rl-3 got the same insane hp pool. that's why he's my go-to companion for the start until i can get fawkes further into the main quest.

[Mari]

Ha, ha silly me, Charon it's not as bad as it seemed at first. Unfortunately, I can't try Clover anymore, she's already dead, but Fawkes is ok, Dogmeat ok, Cross maybe ok, but not my type-still have to experiment with these two Butch and Jericho.
But I can already say that my favorite companion has not been formed in this game as it was in FNV or F 4

[Fear57]

Literally all of them.
