The only ones worth using are EDE, Rex, and based Russel if you have his mod.
Nah, Boone is the best one:
-simple but cool design
-cool backstory
-strongest companion of them all, can carry you trough the entire game alone
-him always opening fire at Legion actually fits the narrative and influences gameplay (compare it to Fallout 4 when you can bring Strong or Hancock to Brotherhood's blimp and nobody bats an eye)
-gives you the best piece of headgear in the game
-doesn't speak much, but when he does its mostly to give you advice
-all his endings are bittersweet and interesting
I'll take him over modern "I'll spout dumb one-liners every 20 seconds, lol I'm so quirky" RPG followers any time.
Piper is an annoying selfish cunt who can't stay out of other people's business.
When I first met her I hated her guts, but later when I actually had her stick around I was surprised by how much more pleasant she seems to be. Almost as if somebody said "Todd wants one more companion, quick, make that bitch Piper more likeable" 2 weeks before release (I think her voice actress did a really good job too).
MacCready is also extremely selfish on top of abandoning his own sick son so he could be a glorified raider on a payroll.
He's so soy one wonders how he survived for more than 2 days as a man killing others for a living.
The only good thing about the show is I can shit on ncr cucks by reminding them that ncr Has been destoried while Cesaers legion is still around. For now anyways.
My prediction is that they will either have single small mention of Legion collapsing, or not mention them at all - can't have niggercattle be triggered by an actually evil faction.
It's partly Amazon's fault. Yes, I know Todd Howard is the show's executive producer, but remember that one of the showrunners only has credits for the recent Tomb Raider and Captain Marvel movies. From going through social media, the "human beings" on them will just call you Captain Buzz Kill or a New Vegas Eitist for just having bad vibes about the plot.
Amazon wrote that slop and Todd approved of everything, they are equal to blame.
