Boone or Cass?

[JelliedKnife]

Which one makes a better companion?

[Nico Nico Knee]

Cass actually has a personality

Yeah, I agree with that.

Cass is an annoying c***. Boone has way too much butthurt for the legion... They both suck tbh. Just go with ED-E and leave out the annoying overly talkative companions.

You have to be nice to everyone if you're with Cass, but you have to be mean to Legion if you take Boone. Both options are equally ♥♥♥♥, since Legion did nothing wrong and stealing stuff from boxes gives bad karma.

As a sniper I like Boone's perk for identifying targets without having to get too close, and it makes them easier to spot at night. But, like most companions he's more of a burden than boon(pun!) in the field. I keep him locked in the john in my novac room.

The only one I ever bring along is ED-E because it's the only one that can be truely passive by setting him to melee only. It's got the built in workbench, and can be a good mule when looting a lot of stuff. I also like the little tune when you enter combat because it can work as an early warning for enemies you don't see coming.

Cass' perk is useless IMHO.

It's a choice between two of the worst. Boone will kill all the wrong things at the wrong times and there's no stopping him. He's a sullen mofo in the bargain who gets triggered by anything Legion-related. Cass is just a wuss and thoroughly annoying. I'd say clear of them both as companions - get a dog or a robot - they're way more fun.

Probably one of the more useful responses (stats-wise) on this thread (no offence)

You want to make a companion?
Pick wichever has the opposit gender to you, mate.

I could never keep Cass as a companion for long as I always favored the evil karma route. Thus, I usually sacrifice her to the Van Graffs. When I did have her, she's just meh to me.

Boone isn't all that great either, it's hard to do his personal quest and because he's so reckless, he tends to attack any Legion member even when I don't intend to bring him to a Legion camp, thus netting me infamy and having assassins attack me when I have yet to get better armor and weapons. The only thing I really liked was his companion perk, that's it.

ED-E triumphs all, maybe a bit too much but still.

Raul with full maintanence is the best of all ( humanoid ) companions, his perk is really good and when paired with ED-E your weapons will always be fully repaired

[Hayley]

I like both of them.

[buddy299]

boone is a badass sniper (or a faze clan reject but idk) but cass has nice tits and referances having sex with you so idk YOU choose.

[Docsprock]

I like Veronica. Give her power armor and a decent melee weapon, she charges in while you hang back using ranged weapons. She is a good tank.

[Xerkie]

Personally i'd go with Veronica or Raul & ED-E.
