Who is the best companion out of all the fallout games?

Boone is the best. He has seen things you can tell by the look in his eye. Fallouts definition of a Vietnam flashback

Of all the Fallout games? Personally my say is either Marcus of Fo2 or Lily from Fallout: New Vegas, Because what beats having a 8ft tall mutant that sticks with you?

Well I know we're supposed to say the best best but i'm caught between Dogmeat and Fawkes. I think it's pretty safe to say most people like dogmeat I mean he is a good doggo and he's op in fo3 plus he's been in 3 different games but I love that fawkes is very smart and philosophical but since he's a super mutant he's also an absolute beast with that sexy strained voice of his.

Willow, by far. The amount of work the mod author, llamaRCA, put into her shows what's possible with these games.

Boone, hands down. Once you wear him down and get him to talk about his backstory you can't help but feel emotional for the guy.

Fawkes is a female my friend. Well technically WAS female before the FEV / Vault 87 chambers removes assets regarding gender but i agree Fawkes is a goat especially after Raven Rock with the Gatling Laser!

ed-e cas he cute and after lonesome road upgrades he can do like everything

ED-E. He doesnt talk and keeps it simple plus he has a workbench and reloading bench on hand what else could you need?

This might be my personal bias due to my tinted nostalgia glasses, but I loved Jericho from Fallout 3. I have fond memories as a kid trying to get my karma as low as possible without aggroing Megaton so I could recruit him. Plus he's a badass ex-raider and I feel like we don't really get to see that side of the wasteland other than just having them be expendable enemies in the game. Gauge wishes he was as cool as Jericho.

At the end of the day I think it's Boone, although IMO all the F:NV companions are really close. To be fair I wish all the companions had way more dialogue, but what he does have is really chilling.

The only right answer is Dogmeat
He is the cutest and saved me from getting jumpscares the entire game lol
Everytime he barks I get ready, before I got him I would get jumped by those annoying giant insects all the time. I know there are some others quite op as well, but I never had the heart to tell him to back to a settlement so I could hang with others.

Curie had such a tragic story, a cool voice, fit well with the fallout-themed humor, and a great plot where she became a synth.

For me it's Nick Valentine hands down with Cait and Arcade as a close second. Nick has an interesting character design and personality and a narrative that has alot more depth than other companions. Unlike other companions his character develops over the course of the game, while I find alot of other companion's narratives to be mostly backstory. I see alot of other people saying Boone but personally I just found his personality to be too edgy for my subjective taste but I can see why people like him.

I find it rather amusing that I generally tend to end up gravitating towards the robotic companions the most in the Fallout series:

ED-E in FNV and Ada from the Automatron DLC.

Veronica, because she always brings a powerfist to a gun fight
