which game had better companions?
>>737933703The dog, the slut, the mechanic, bizzaro granma, mr. mad, the faghag and the fagvsThe dog, the genius supermutant working as intended for once and the I don't remember that any of you ever existed.Idk, this was pretty easy.
>>737933703Meat shields with guns? 3.Actual characters? NV.
>>737933703Wait FO3 had companions? Never knew because i really don't like them but wow...
>>737933703Who are all those browns in fallout 3?>there's a vantablack nigger in power armorhuh?>The darkest companion in FNV is a mexican (white hispanic)
>>737933703Arayn army vs the mystery meat mob
>>737934574almost every single important character in New Vegas is white. only ones who immediately comes to mind is the black guy at NCR office on the strip dennis crocker and ulyssus
>>737934735Ambassador Crocker was supposed to be white but he got melaninated due to a voice over mishap.
>>737934819i remember reading about him originally being white. i reckon ulyssus would have bewn white too but Chris probably tried to hide his "self-insert"
>>737934574>mexican (white hispanic)
>>737933703Fallout 4 obviously
>>737935127Credit where the credit is due. In the F4 Todd got it right. But what in a goddamn happened with Shartfield's companions? Zero charisma, zero chemistry, zero personality. It's F3's meatshields all over again
>>737933703FNV companions actually have personalities and story arcs. They are superior, unless you are one of those people who just hates narrative-driven games.
>>737935127>hancock has 1 (one) line of dialogue after finding out his brother was killed and replaced with a synth
>>737935529I mean f4 had more fleshed out companions but they were fucking boring. Almost all of them, except the mutant and the dog, got mad when you kill people. The ghoul junky also started lecturing you when you repeatedly took drugs. They felt annoying honestly
>>737936058I have a feeling Stephen Russell is wasted on Bethesda games.He was Garrett, for fuck's sake.
>>737936080>Instead of companions reacting to places or events significant to their character arc (boone at bitter springs or near legion encampments, Raul near old people being useful or not, Arcade near high tech and ethical conundrums) and building trust based upon player's responses you stack SAFES LOCKPICKED to unlock YOUR COCK BEING SUCKED.>since FNV had a real life Iconic vegas radioman, Wayne Newton, we'll instead make the player listen to pubescent dweeb with the charisma of a jizzed on kleenex.Amazing powerpoint toddlerone.
>>737936239Bethesda just keeps ignoring FNV. I thought that for Skyrim and FO4 they would grab some design ideas that worked, like the faction system or the non-linear, modular plot, but they just live in a bubble.
>>737936239I think you meant to reply to someone else
>>737935127>>737936058there is no such thing as good bethesda companions
>>737936343They grabbed NV's faction system plus idea of a non linear plot and made em barebones and lame. That's Bethesda wayThey think that if their games sell well they are doing everything right and Emil deserves his fat pay check for making a wonderful stories that people come for. And then Starfield happened.
>>737936886>And then Starfield happened.Starfield was so outdated at release, it got mogged by Cyberpunk. Think about it.
>>737933703>everyone in NV is white>everyone in F3 is brownIt never ceases to be funny
To this day bethesda refuses to hire someone who can rig/animate faces competently. All their characters emote like robots and get mogged by shit from 20 years ago.
>>737933703New Vegas>>737935127They were an improvement over 3's for sure
>>737937695https://youtu.be/YPN0qhSyWy8?si=seLmk-vkcYf80CE_
>>737936886Starfield justified its own existence with the PS launch, skyrocketing to number 1 in sales after being out for 2 years. Basically all Bethesda learned was exclusivity bad.
>>737935127Never recruited or used Piper, Handcock, Codsworth, Preston and MacCready.Why the fuck would someone bring back up anything related Little Lamplight is beyond me
>>737933703A faghag is not a lesbian. A faghag is a narcissist woman, usually ugly and fat, who orbits a gay man thinking that she is so beautiful and unique that she can “correct” his sexuality
>>737933703I forgot how ugly 7th gen was
>>737939868>PiperActually good companion but with one of the worst perks>HancockLame and boring>Codsworth>PrestonBoth are perkbots.>MacShittyThe worst one in the game. One of the most popular mods (Tales of the commonwealth) had put their OC donut steal companion in the same room. And this OC is like 10 times more interesting one.
God tier>Rex>Fawkes>BooneGood Tier>Dog Meat>Lily>Sydney (semi canon mod)>Raul>Veronica>ButchMeh Tier >Cassidy>RL3>CharonLow Tier>Cross>Jericho >CloverAbsolute Brahmin Shit Worthless Tier>Arcade Gannon
>>737933703New Vegas outside of the supermutant fallout 3's companions aren't worth having there dead wight and more likely die be useful.
>>737935127Nick is literally the only one of these characters who’s any good. The game should have been about him
