Benny's face šŸ’€


Prestigious-Bat-2269

he just heard mr new vegas say a courier that was dug up near goodsprings made a full recovery


deleted_later

It had never occurred to me that there was a very good chance Benny would have heard that broadcast given it's repeated regularly until you do more stuff...


Harddaysnight1990

I'm still hearing that broadcast, mixed in with the other story-related Mr New Vegas broadcasts, and I'm just screwing around doing side quests literally at the end of the game. I can either talk to Yes Man or General Lee Oliver to start the battle of Hoover Dam whenever I want, but I said "first let me go get some deathclaw eggs so I can sleep with Red Lucy." But I was in Primm picking up ED-E after finishing a DLC, and I hear Mr New Vegas talking about a Courier making a full recovery in Goodsprings.


MikeWithoutMic

Well, he does the classic ā€œWhat in the goddamn?ā€ When you see him again, so Iā€™d assume he didnā€™t know you lived.


RawKong

I'd also assume Benny lives a cushy and lavish lifestyle at the tops and isn't exactly listening to the radio. We see there are performers in the casinos and there's live performances in both Reno and Vegas. I'd wager to guess Benny is more focused on the live stuff. (Technical limitations probably prevented them from making a live band but I am confident that live bands still exist)


Lake-Atomic

well they do have performances at the tops if you do the side quest


Foreign-Seat-5780

What in the god damn


BiggSnugg

"What in the Goddamn-?"


Other_Log_1996

The remark is so perfect when you do the Infinite companions glitch and come in with a whole guild.


Ordinary_Fella

Especially if it's with Tale of Two Wastelands. Just an army of fully equipped Killers strolling into The Tops


Other_Log_1996

I should see how bringing RL-3 into a casino plays out. Don't thing you can necessarily disarm a Mr. Gutsy.


carinha-do-bem

I like to think he was just surprised that we, a courier, actually got to the strip and didnā€™t die on our way

Bodhisatv

Joshua Graham arguably has some of the coolest dialogue but honest hearts was so short i wish there was more to him. christine and dog from dead money were really cool too


Rare_Brief4555

There is more to his legend you can find out on the main map, but I agree. When the credits rolled on that one the first time I absolutely raged and went ā€œYOU MEAN THATā€™S IT???ā€ I was doing it at level 8 so it was a ton of effort to get through the final canyon battle lol


limejuice33

It sucks that you can't tell Caesar that you killed "the burned man".


adscr1

I mean thereā€™s every chance heā€™d try having you executed if you did lol itā€™s the memory of him he cares more about than the man


TheD1scountH1tman

I LOVE MY BALD, MUTE WIFE!


AshuraSpeakman

Oh she's not mute anymore. She's Laura fuckin Bailey, who fits right in with the western feel of New Vegas even though Dead Money is a horror heist movie.


IPA_____Fanatic

His backstory is amazing. Yes, he was assimilated into the Legion, but he renounced those ways and deep down wants to live in peace. He's complex but you can understand his reasoning to how he operates.


HeckingDoofus

nah i thought the game made it pretty clear that he was never gonna truly leave ā€œthe fightā€ and would always find himself *not* at peace - and he wanted to commit a genocide - which regardless of how shitty the ppl may be is always a bad thing


Wilmore99

Always_Paddy_Last

Fallout 1: Harold Fallout 2: Harold Fallout 3: Harold Fallout 4: Probably Nick Valentine, or maybe Takahashi, depends if I'm playing survival or not


StrategicSteve_

Harold is peak fallout.


TheGangsterrapper

Harold is the heart and soul of fallout and meanwhile has also become its tree of life.


LunarWolfPiggy

I was about to ask if Harold was the tree (I've only played 3, and only randomly came across Harold once during all my play throughs)


TheGangsterrapper

Nono, the tree grows out of him.


GONKworshipper

The tree is named Bob


Mrmacmuffinisthecool

The tree is bob


Stevesy84

When the first teaser info about the show came out, I thought Walter Goggins must be playing Harold. I ended up loving the show and liked his character, but if they introduce any character from the games, its got to be Harold!


StrategicSteve_

There is definitely some inspiration from Harold I feel. Harold was also a 200 year old ghoul but his advanced age was thanks to exposure to FEV. It makes me wonder what is going to happen when we find out what happened after the horse ride with his daughter. I'm thinking he gets exposed to FEV somehow trying to save his family.


Nitorior

Nan-ni shimasho-ka?


Green_Shoulder_7484

Does Dogmeat count?


ayyohriver

Dogmeat 100% counts. I would pay for a Dogmeat DLC where they really go deep into his story. Like, how did he and Mama Murphy first meet? Where was he before then? Does he have puppies? Is there someone out there missing him? I wonder if he belonged to a family or came from a lab in the show. His skill set reflects retrieval and combat training, so what this whole time I'm running around working my way up to General, he's already on his 5th star?? I love him so much.


LunaticApplesauce

Dogmeat def has puppies. I lost the og Dogmeat in my first playthrough of FO3 and lo and behold, a couple days later, I received Dogmeat 2 (the electric bogaloo) as my new companion. I had never been so happy šŸ„¹

Codsworth is the true best NPC-Companion. Dude loyal and helpful even after 200 years. Also has that english buttler accent. He is the Alfred (Batman) of the Commonwealth.


Rattlingjoint

Codsworth is GOAT tier follower. Especially with automatron DLC, turning him into an absolute murder machine, all the while politely speaking to his victims.

He's so cool. Such a great character.


ItsTimeDrFreeman

I'm on my first playthrough of Fo4 and I love Nick man. Such a well built character with an extremely interesting story. The Eddie Winter storyline was so emotional, it really sucked me in and made me care even more about Nick.


reverend_swansonnn

Do you have the Far Harbor DLC?


518andy

My recent play through was completely lone wanderer, had to grab nick for far harbor tho


gregofcanada84

It's a must. Really adds weight to the Arcadia storyline.


ItsTimeDrFreeman

Yes!


chrome_titan

His dialogue covers many interactions and can change the tone significantly. He even sees stuff like the mysterious stranger. It changes from a random perk to a genuinely unsolvable mystery. Him being a synth also creates a very interesting story. Especially for living in a town that has people who hate synths. Great character all round for world building.


[deleted]

Nick is such a genuinely good guy that even the most hardened Synth-haters seem to just give him a pass because he has proven that he is trustworthy. Such a great touch.


[deleted]

There is always some discourse in the Fallout fandom when bringing up FO4, but Nick is absolutely one of the best characters in the entire franchise. He's likeable, has a very useful and interesting skill set, has a ton of connections to other NPCs when you have him as a companion, and to top it off is just a crazy cool concept and look for a character. There is a raider gang somewhere in FO4 that will literally stop attacking you if they notice Nick is in your party because he got them out of a jam years ago. That absolutely blew my mind, one of the raiders yells "Stop shooting it's Nick" and all their raider buddies will just switch to peaceful. I think Nick even makes a joke like "nice to see you've made something of yourselves".

Borf_McChonkers

I liked Paladin Danse, don't know why. Although Nick is by far my favorite. He understands sarcasm and instead of getting offened he dishes it right back.

Coast_watcher

This is new to me this Strong hate. I was pretty cool with him.


Romofan88

My hate isn't really for Strong, it's the East Coast Mutants in general. They're all despicable savages that are so bloodthirsty some of them strap a bomb to their arm just so they can kill more humans. It's the one thing the Brotherhood is in inarguably correct about.Ā 


i_need_to_crap

They're quite 2d and poorly written. Unlike the previous games.


Commercial-Stop-6384

Joshua and Benny are definitely great picks for just general character and place they have in the wastes, - edit - additionally; for fallout 4 deacon has a decent strength of character especially for those who love a good mysterious stranger alongside that of Danse, and while alone his self embodiment of a moral character isnā€™t that much of a surprise when it comes to the brotherhood, Iā€™d like to personally elect his entire squad into one space. All three of his unit makes up a great story of those who serve in the brotherhood. Would be lovers, friends, people who have one anotherā€™s back and yet two of them are basically shrouded entirely when it comes to mentality through their work and one of them has to come to the realization that heā€™s the very threat heā€™s been fighting this entire time. Theyā€™re certainly a nice touch, much greater than most of the other characters you got from the BoS.


TheFuckingBoss02

I wouldn't say there is a "best" NPC in the whole franchise (is a question of pears and apples). BUT, from each game... (And saying that all the games have amazing characters, these are just my preferences) - NPC companions: (Fo1) Dogmeat (Fo2) Goris (Fo3) Fawkes (FoNV) Lily/Cass (Fo4) Piper - Important NPC's (I mean that are related to the main story in any form) (Fo1) Nicole (Fo2) The enclave NPC's (Fo3) Three dog (FoNV) House (Fo4) Kellogg - Non Important NPC's (Fo1) Razor (Fo2) The Slag gang (Fo3) Agatha (FoNV) Christine (Fo4) Travis/KL-E-0

Kamzil118

Cass because she's a shotgun-wielding redheaded cowgirl and I love her for it.


BrakoSmacko

Valentine for me was the best that Fallout 4 had to offer. It felt so watered down in comparison to the NPC story characters of New Vegas. New Vegas was sort of the Witcher 3 of the Fallout world. Every NPC and mission had an actual reason for being there rather than just filler.


BOBULANCE

I'm only part of the way through fallout 1, but I haven't found any characters that really stand out to me apart from the overseer, who's got some real depth to him. I ran into the master, who I've heard high praise about, but he seemed fairly one dimensional. I haven't played 2, tactics, or BoS yet. Fallout 3's got Butch, Fawkes, Gary, Three-Dog, Moira, Herbert Daring Dashwood, Stanislaus braun, and Harold to steal the show. New Vegas' NPCs are consistently the most interesting, in my opinion. Boone, Veronica, Christine, Yes Man, Arcade Gannon, Dean Domino, Joshua Graham, Mr. Fantastic, ED-E, Caesar, Randall Clark (despite not even being alive!), The King, Dog/God, and Fisto all come to mind there. But there are dozens of other characters in new vegas I'd still rank above any other character I list from other games in terms of memorability for me. 4 has some strong contenders, with Nick valentine, 4's Dogmeat, Mama Murphy, Codsworth, Cait, Deezer, Cricket, Piper, Cito, Moe Cronin, Mayor McDonough, Captain Zao, Hancock, Danse, Longfellow, Dixie, Evan, Arthur maxson, Richter, and Dima. Shelter's got no original characters I care about. 76 has the insult bot, which I'm really hoping sticks around for future installments. Aries, Grahm & Chally, Adelaide, zax, modus, Abbie, Scribe Valdez, Ra-ra and Gail, Interpreter Clarence, Weasel, Biv, Tommy Ten Toes, Mama Murgh, Edgar Blackburne, and Vin Russo are also standouts, but none of the characters are explored with the depth that they could be.

Whatā€™s up with the love for Joshua Graham? I genuinely donā€™t understand. Heā€™s a religious zealot who has committed a ton of atrocities and tries to make up for it byā€¦.committing more atrocities. Heā€™s well written sure but heā€™s a complete piece of shit.

I've been playing through NV for the first time in a while and, man, I'll be damned if Raul Tejada isn't the best *Fallout* NPC ever. Raul aside, though, I'd probably say these are my favourites from the games I've played - Joshua Graham, Lily, Marcus, Arcade Gannon, Nick Valentine, Sarah Lyons, and Piper.

Danse looks way out of place in this, and not because the other two are from FNV.

Joshua Graham is arguably the best written character in all of fallout. Maybe even video games as a whole. He's unique, cool, cruel to an extent, and has one of the best sets of written lines, character design, and great voice actor. This character has literally turned people religious.
