Fallout 4 Best Companion and why?

[Barry]

As title states

[GLITTERY]

Ada from dls

[LordChaos]

codsworth
or any other companion you can build because they wont judge you

[Chaosium]

Dogmeat because he's the best boy

[Omega_Sium]

dogmeat because it never breaks balls, then you can use it together with the perk lone wanderer, which makes it very useful

[vIDe]

Gage, I like his story and his voice lines.

[MasterShake]

Lone Wanderer, because raw power here and now.

I like Strong a lot. He can kill huge creatures. I found him a higher level flaming super sledge. Plus some Super Mutant armor that I got off one I killed while on a mission with him. With the upgraded super sledge and armor he's unbelievable. Plus his carry weight is a lot higher. I like to cram a lot of junk into his inventory. Then when we go back to the workbenches I can dump it all in to my connected supply lines.

Yea. Strong is one of the best. If your character has the Cannibal perk. Strong can hit max affinity rather quickly. There's a certain set of gear that will max his DR out. There's a limited number of SM armor that appear in game. They can all be found in Supermutant camps. As a plus... he tends to stay back a lot better than the other followers.

Ada and Curie tie for second place.

That damn dog and Preston tie for the absolute worst followers in the game.

[FauxFurry]

Base Game Followers: Nick not merely because of his personality and the questions about the nature of personal identity and personal determination that his existence raises but the missions that involve him (including Far Harbor) turn everything into a detective story.
The main plot could have benefited from being set up as a post-apocalyptic Detective Noir story from top to bottom.
DLC: Automatron build-a-followers because customized robot minions can not be beat. No evil overlord of a shadowy cabal of super scientists or high tech raider boss should be without one.

Your best companion is a powerful firearm.

[The Cure]

This is a singleplayer RPG, not a generic MMO min/max situation, or even an action/adventure/shooter game from the 90's. Pick your companion on your roleplay.

And if you don't have a roleplay... improvise.

Ada or McCready because they do not nag me

[Ogmok]

most of my characters use dogmeat - it feels great to have a canine companion, "lone wanderer" still works (and that perk is insanely good). She's also super cute when she randomly plays with certain junk items like a teddy bear. I would swap her for a cat and maybe for a deathclaw, but normally not for a human (unless I roleplay).

My high int / science builds normally use custom robots (DLC) - it's fun to collect components and you can adapt your companion to your playstyle; the variety on one single companion is unmatched.

If you insist on taking one "classic companion" and don't care for any roleplay (for example: my brute cannibals roll around with Strong, most others ignore him): Curie is an excellent follower, she's a medical robot that prefers ranged laser attacks, is super tanky in the early game (she doesn't scale and her hitpoints are chunky up to level 50 or so) plus you can make her your Synth Waifu.

--> If you want to min/max your character: you'll have to farm reputation with all companions anyways since every single companion will give you a unique perk if you max out their reputation. My favourite one is MacCready's "+20% hitchance in VATS for headshots", followed by Curie's "heal for 100 hitpoints once per day if you drop below 10% life". Danse got 20% bonus damage vs synths, ghouls and super mutants, which is also sweet and Deacon will improve your sneak attacks by 20%.

Dogmeat has found something. *walks over to Dogmeat*
What's this? Looks like a pile of crap, Dogmeat.
I dislike his howls as he gets hit and it feels unfair subjecting him to so many raider bullets.

[MagicMarker]

Cait, because I like the way she nags. And if you give her a *decent* weapon instead of her default crap blaster, she's actually a great shot!
