Forum:Which companion is your favorite?

I wanted to ask you guys a question. My friend and I are big Fallout fans. However, I like FNV more then I do Fallout 3, my friend is more in to Fallout 3 then FNV. We decided the wiki could settle our dispute on which games companions are better characters. We'll start with Raul or Charon. I compare these two because they are both ghouls and are both well versed with guns. So here are the rules, you need to provide one reason why you like either Raul or Charon. I don't care what the reason is but I won't count your vote if you don't provide at least one reason. Once I get enough votes I will count them and tell you guys in the next edition of this article. Thanks for playing!Vendetta115 04:06, October 7, 2011 (UTC)Vendetta115

I prefer Raul over Charon only because Raul was a much more entertaining character. Charon was a good 2nd gun but he's not a personality. I did really like Charon though. The Enclave actually killed him on my playthrough of F3 and I carried his body all the way back to the ghoul city. I like to imagine Willow took him inside and they gave him a proper sendoff.

Even though Raul was extremely well written and characterized, I prefer Charon since he was a better fighter. Charon didn't need much personality, he was more a silent gun that would back me up in rough situations. --Fezgod 17:21, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

I found Raul really tedious, Charon was a cool merc but lacking in any real personality. So I'd say Charon > Raul Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 19:56, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

I, for one, enjoyed Boone immensely. Not only did he help my low-level character survive the Mojave, but he came with a kick-ass backstory and motivation to boot! I purposely set out to give him some closure, and not just to get him that upgraded armor. NCRandproud123 09:24, October 8, 2011 (UTC)NCRandproud123

No matter what F3 and FNV companions you want to compare, I'd always go for the FNV one. Not because I'm a fanboy but because they have actual personalities. The F3 ones just don't hold a candle to them. I care a lot for good writing. Rootmars 13:53, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Mothership Zeta companions have tons of personality and so does Dogmeat Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 14:39, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aside from li'l Sally I don't think the MZ characters have much personality at all. Maybe Eliot has a little more, although I find him to be a whiny bitch. As for Dogmeat, I just have no clue where you're coming from. --DeadlyPrey(talk) 19:04, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

I prefer Charon's strong silent type with the thousand yard stare. He didn't have much in the way of personality, but he's always reliable. Raul is admittedly pretty amusing though, and his vaquero outfit is the shit.

Out of all companions I love the gung ho anti-pinko kill-craziness of RL-3 though.--DeadlyPrey(talk) 19:00, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Overall companion- Cassidy.
