So, Who is your favourite companion for each adventure?

[Maxwell Sinclair]

As in, which companion from each DLC as well as the main game, one for each.

~Main game: it is so hard to just pick one, I mean, I barely use any of the companions, I find most of them, especially boone, make things super easy mode. I would have to say veronica though, she has some of the most interesting interactions, in regards to elijah and the rest of the brotherhood, all in all despite her voice I like her character, rex is a close second here because who doesn't love a cyber doggy?

~Dead Money: Now this was... Well I really like Dog/God, I found saving them to be a really sweet moment. However nobody in this DLC will beat christine for me, the conversations with her, especially when she couldn't speak, were some of the sweetest, and sometimes heart wrenching moments. As well as some of the most amusing. Christine is definitely my favourite here.

~Honest Hearts: I barely used either of the companions here, they both annoyed the hell out of me, but follows chalk was slightly less annoying with the whole scouting thing, joshua graham doesn't count since you only get him as part of a mission.

~Old World Blues: You do actually get a companion here, only one to the best of my knowledge, You have to splice the dog and robot in the X-8 Research Facility. Her name is Roxie She can't leave the facility, but shes damn cute, and in her ending, provided you created her, it talks about how she eventually wandered into the mojave and had a litter of cyber puppies with rex.

~Lonesome road: I don't remember all the companions you get here, I think it might just be ED-E, but it is the one that inspired me to start this discussion, I was chatting with it just now, all the little beeps and bouncing, its so dang cute.

Answer in the comments and don't forget to say why.

That is the right name. He is just ED-E

[SourChives]

Well If we can include mods then mine would be Rex and the mod companion Niner. :P

My trusty friend bullets from the Four Legged Friends mod has been at my side for pretty much all of New Vegas and it's DLC's as well as FO3 and it's DLC's thanks to TTW.

you betcha! the best! and as far as ED-E goes, i prefer CHEF-BOY-ED-E! he'll use his lazer to whip up some nice brahmin steaks on the trail!

[Daldo]

ED-E

[Ninjabutter]

In the main game, probably Boone. I can't stand Willow, I uninstalled her after less than a day of play and will never understand her popularity.

Everyone in Honest Hearts just annoyed the hell out of me, I agree with your summary. Follows-Chalk was the only one I didn't literally want to shoot by the time I was done with the questline.

Favorite vanilla companion is a Raul. He is the only one who doesn't really give me ♥♥♥♥ about the Legion (aside from Lily). I like Veronica too, but it's a shame she has to die when Lord Caesar demands the death of the Brotherhood.

Don't really like the DLC companions all that much, although Christine is kind of cool.

Favorite modded companion would be Willow. Would be nice to have a Legion companion though without having to get the Legion Overhaul mod.

None. I prefer soloing everything.

So do I, but that doesn't mean you can't have favourites, I went through all the companion quests despite my solo nature, I wanted to see what the companions were like and frankly, each one has a deep, rich history and interesting story to tell, provided you want to put the effort into getting it. Even boones story is kind of meaningful in a way. I still think boone is a bleeding heart ♥♥♥♥♥ but his story was... interesting.

I kind of wish you could side with Ulysses in the Lonesome Road and get him as a companion, he just... hes so amazing, and he talks about following you, I mean he was stalking you sure, but the fact is I really like his character.
"I don't blame you for the Divide. I blame you for what you made me see."

Fallout new vegas managed to do something fallout 3 lacked, it created characters who were deep, interesting, and I could actually care about. In fallout 3 it was so hard to give a crap about anyone at all, everyone seemed to be trying to get themselves killed. I think Moira from craterside was the only one I could stomach in that game, well her and tenpenny. Moira was at least TRYING to do good for the wasteland, even if she was a complete dunce about it. Tenpenny was just a ruthless old man and I liked that.
"That scrap heap on the horizon was ugly so I asked Mr Burke to blow it up." I love his casual attitude towards slaughter, and the fact he sits in his tower taking potshots with a sniper rifle. Wasteland safari he calls it.

But I mean... Two characters, in a game as big as fallout 3... The companions felt dry and boring. Even dogmeat wasn't all that interesting. The whole game felt a bit... cliche.

[Coondom man]

The Mojave: ED-E hands down!
Dead Money: i liked God.
Who the ♥♥♥♥ cares about Honest Hearts
Old World Blues: There is only one (I think) and that is a Cyberdog.

You're welcome?

I also love how not a single person has said Rose of Sharon Cassidy is their favourite companion. I ALWAYS kill her... well... give her to jean baptiste. I can't stand Cass she is just a pain in the butt.
