Voiced by: Zachary Levi'It's.a thing. A science thing. It hurts robots. Don't worry about it.' Arcade is a Follower of the Apocalypse researcher who is stationed in Freeside. He follows the Courier if he is persuaded, with intelligence or charisma. He's very reluctant to share his past, but he is committed to making New Vegas a better place.

Strangely enough, Arcade is and makes comments and observations about the wasteland that a typical Follower should not know.: The Gannon Family Tesla Armor.: He speak fluent Latin and knows a lot about the history of the Roman Empire. But he's very quick to assure you he did not learn it from the Legion.: Full name: Arcade Israel Gannon.

Voiced by:'You take out a debt, it's only a matter of time before someone comes collecting.' Boone is a former NCR First Recon Sniper who settled in Novac. His wife was recently killed and he wants to hunt down those responsible for the events which lead to her death. He enlists the aid of the Courier and will tag along after the matter is settled, however, he is being haunted by other ghosts in his past. Boone is.: Having your wife and unborn child kidnapped and having to mercy kill them both to save them from.: After the death of his wife and the falling out with his best friend, he spends most of his time alone. Until you come along.:.

While certainly well-intentioned, he has no problem an unarmed old woman (albeit for a, good reason). Depending on how you resolve his quest he may may remain in this slot and murder his old commanding officer or decide to make the best of his situation and become a less ambiguously-good Type III.: For most part, it appears that his coldness comes from the incident with his wife, but what disturbs him most is the Bitter Springs incident where some innocent civilians were killed with him directly involved.: And HOW.: A possible end reward for his side quest if you make him let go of his penchant. Not a bandolier per se, but the has one on it.: Gameplay wise, he can solo several groups of enemies by himself.: Boone has a fairly low Intelligence stat compared to other companions.

Makes sense in that while other characters come from either educated backgrounds (Arcade and Veronica) or have developed skills other than fighting (Raul and Cass), Boone is just a very talented and well-trained soldier.: As a sniper, this was a pretty big part of his job. Also, a possible ending for him if you make him abandon his personal moral code.: Unlike the other companions, during his travels with you he can go on for weeks without speaking a single word.: Depending on the ending, it is played straight or inverted. One ending has him sniping high-ranking legion officials from afar and amassing a huge bounty with no one dare chasing after him, while another has him pulling off in the heart of Legion territory and killing scores of Legionnaires before being being captured and crucified.: After the atrocity that his unit committed at Bitter Springs and the death of his wife, he don't see any point in living any more. At the end of his personal quest, he will go on a suicide mission of defending an NCR refugee camp against an full scale Legion attack.: Possibly one of the most powerful companions in the entire game in terms of combat effectiveness and he can be obtained fairly early on. Often, the first warning you'll get that you're under attack is a slow-motion shot of the enemy's head exploding.: If his personal mission is not resolved, he'll eventually kill Giles, his commanding officer at Bitter Springs before turning the gun on himself.: He's an anti-social, but he does mean well.:.

Forget that, you know.: Well was.: His Guns skill is actually over the maximum.: Privately believes himself to be a victim of this.: His wife, Carla.: In addition to being one out-of-universe, even people in-universe recognize the skills. The 1st Recon insignia is universal shorthand for badass. Special mention has to go to Mr. New Vegas's radio announcement after you complete his quest.

One witness said, quote, 'God sent us two angels and at least one of them had a.308 caliber flaming sword of justice with a telescopic sight.' .: Done to his wife after she was captured.: While Boone is primarily a sniper, he's actually quite competent in melee despite what he says.: Averted. He is still loyal to the principles and ideals of the NCR, but he sees that the republic has some serious issues when it comes to their expansionism and corruption. However, he seems to have no real problem if the Courier manages to secure Vegas' independence as long as they don't actively act against the NCR, or at least get caught doing so.: Taking Boone's beret is a good way to get your head blown off. It's hard to tell, since he's so. The game suggests that his has.

Boone went to him for help first after she disappeared, however, when he realized Manny was more glad than anything, they had a falling out. It's not made entirely clear if he knows why Manny was so glad.: See the below.: Boone is the only companion who goes aggro against neutral NPCs (namely, Caesar's Legion members), which makes things problematic if you're trying to befriend or at least remain neutral with the Legion. Voiced by:'I'm an open book, boss.

Granted, the book's in Spanish and some of the pages have fallen out, but I'm an open book.' Raul is a who is captured by a crazy super mutant named Tabitha in Black Mountain. He can be rescued by the Courier, and becomes a companion out of gratitude. There is more to the ghoul than meets the eye however. Raul specializes in revolvers and lever-action rifles and can also maintain the Courier's equipment.: On his leg to be exact.: Straddles the line between Type II and III. Raul: I killed all of them boss, not because I was tougher than any of them, but because I was a meaner cuss than any of those fuckers. I kept shooting until I ran out of bullets.

A couple of vultures pecked at me for days, by then I managed to get back up.: A skilled repairman who can even fix terminals. Having him around makes your weapons degrade slower.: Raul has a similar habit with in that he keeps calling the Courier boss.: If you convince him to take up his gunslinging ways again, Raul gets a, complete with badass sombrero.: Sort of. Most of Danny Trejo's characters are. Raul is instead.: His specialty in his days as a Vaquero. If you make him return to his Vaquero ways, he gets a perk that increases his firing speed with revolvers and lever-action guns. No matter what perks you have, he will shoot faster than you.: He was alive before the Great War and can still remember how the world used to be like.

He's actually the oldest living ghoul ever introduced.: Like Arcade and Veronica, Raul is prone to making snarky comments. Unlike them, it's pretty apparent he actually believes you are a moron, though he avoids saying so outright.: In his Vaquero ending, he takes up his guns and hunts down those who would prey on the weak.: He states that his eyesight among other things have gotten poorer with age but he's still fairly fast with a gun. As stated above, he can get his edge back.: and.Rose of Sharon Cassidy. Voiced by: Rachel Roswell'A sober woman might take insult at that.

Me, I might just bust you one.' Rose of Sharon Cassidy used to be the proud owner of the Cassidy Caravans. The Courier can convince Cass to sell the will to her caravan but it will take some heavy persuading or some heavy drinking to do so. Now down on her luck and with nothing better to do, Cass joins the Courier on a romp through the Wasteland.

In combat.: Having her as a companion actually gives you an alcohol related perk.:. She may be a coarse, hostile boozy snarker, but her morals are solid, being the only follower to call the Courier out on evil Karma, and expressing concern for your welfare as the story progresses.

Depending on how you reslove her quest she may go down to a Type II.: Technically, Boone, Gannon and Veronica are also. However, they have special equipment and training to help them along. Cass is just an alcoholic cowgirl with a shotgun, and she kicks ass.: To the extent that her companion perk lets you drink whiskey with no downsides.: Not the character per se, but her face. It bears a strong resemblance to several non-canon depictions of her father's face: Bony cheeks, straight thin nose, blue eyes, and straight lips.

Granted, her face is more feminine and has 30+ years less on it.: Cass can handle herself in a fight, but her unremarkable default weapon and lack of any really spectacular skills means that she won't be of much use in the endgame until you load her up with stronger guns and ammo. A patch loaded her up with the Shotgun Surgeon perk to help alleviate the problem of armor.

Getting the perks for both resolutions of her story also helps her late game survivability and offensive power.: She is the daughter of Fallout 2's Cassidy. She also inherited his heart condition and gets upset if you use drugs.: You can convince her in her quest that letting the NCR bureaucracy deal with the Crimson Caravan and the Van Graffs is far worse than simply killing them.: Something that she learned from her father.: Her rather colorful metaphor for the NCR's expansionism. Cass: Nobody's dick is that fucking long, not even Long Dick Johnson. And he had a fucking long dick. Thus, the name.Courier:.: You find her doing this at an NCR outpost.:, outspoken, snarky, prone to slug someone who talks smack with her, and crimson-locked.: Like her father, she becomes the companion of a person destined to change the wastelands.: She might be foul mouth and sarcastic at times, but she also has a very strong sense of morals.: No special properties, but the unique shape gives her half the time.

She joins the Courier when she learns about the investigation behind the recent Bighorner disappearances. Lily can fire guns, but she really shines in sneaking and melee combat. During their adventures the Courier discovers that Lily needs to take her medicine so that her mental faculties regain some semblance of order. The Courier can help Lily on the road to recovery or let her indulge in her psychopath ways.: Type II. Would probably be a straight up good guy on her own, but Leo's influence can push her into psychotic behavior.

Can slide down to a Type IV or V depending on the Courier's influence.: She is a lot more sane then most Nightkin, but she can still go crazy during combat and as a companion, she will occasionally have a mental breakdown and attack everyone she sees.: Lily's still got the personality of a sweet ol' granny. She's still a Nightkin though.: She was an old lady before she became a Nightkin.: Don't mess with her bighorners.

Just don't.: She wields a vertibird propeller blade as a sword.: She's a ninja version of who actually was a sweet old lady pre-Nightkin days, and she didn't lose any of her sweet old lady tendencies even after her transformation. Even better, she more or less adopts you as her surrogate grandchild and kicks ass on your behalf with a sword made out of vertibird and/or an assault carbine.: Japanese Hagrid, why are you in drag?.: As a Super Mutant, she'll charge into battle faster than you can.: She is this, and thinks you're her grandson.: Go into crouch mode and this is what you get. Voiced by:'Thanks for taking a chance on a naive young girl from California with stars in her eyes and a pneumatic gauntlet on her hand.' Veronica is a Brotherhood Scribe whose mission is to retrieve supplies that her bunker needs. But that doesn't stop her from tagging along with the Courier, hoping to learn more about the world and the Brotherhood's place in it. She specializes in crafting items for the Courier and. Badass.: She's a Scribe, but she's as effective in combat as a Paladin.

She can even wear Power Armor.: Her sense of humor is quirky, but her Power Fist will still fuck your shit up if you underestimate her.: Like Arcade, she wants to see the Brotherhood be open to the world and help improve civilization, unlike Arcade she doesn't have much of a satisfying conclusion and the universe is almost out to get her.: The Causeless Rebel ending of her questline sees her horribly traumatized by the fanaticism of the Brotherhood.: Yup.: With a bit of thrown in for good measure. She cracks jokes constantly but there's some deep regret hidden in there. — Random Great Khans: 'Your friend's cute - is she single?' .: Her damage potential is obscene, especially with high-end glove weapons like the Ballistic Fist, but she's fairly fragile. Of course, she's also capable of wearing Power Armor, making her into into a:.: Upon which Veronica become powerful enough to engage Lanius head-on and possibly coming out on top.: She's voiced by. Likewise in Japan, she is secretly, subject to the same woobiness as her.: Her companion perk makes her a mobile workbench.: She comes to believe that she's to blame for getting innocent Followers killed by the Brotherhood. However, she also takes this as how leaving the Brotherhood was the right choice.: The reason that Veronica was promoted to rank of being a 'Procurement specialist' was because the elder want to prevent her from spreading her subversive ideas by sending her as for away from Hidden Valley as possible.: You can ask Veronica if she has ever been in love.

She tells you that she was in love with a woman in the Brotherhood, but they were separated by the other woman's parents. Of course, what makes her a instead of merely is her single greatest desire: to own a pretty dress. If you give her Formal Wear or White Glove Society Attire (which look exactly the same), she thanks you and teaches you an Unarmed attack.: Veronica is supposed to mean 'True Image' as a reflection of how the Brotherhood should progress.: At the end of her quest she can decide to stay with the Brotherhood in order to try and help them in whatever way she can since in the end they are still her family. She's the only one who sees that stagnation is bad for the Brotherhood, and is actively taking steps towards helping her fellow members.: Her specialty.

To stress how much she loves it, her default ranged weapon is a 10mm pistol. 'Eyebot Duraframe Subject E is both the prototype and the last functional model.'

- WhitleyED-E is an Enclave Eyebot from the Capital Wasteland heading west towards Navarro. He is damaged along the way, and the Courier can choose to repair him. ED-E is more of a support character, with a huge carrying capacity, alright damage output and a truly awesome perk. Another version of ED-E accompanies the Courier in Lonesome Road.: In the base game, ED-E is barely given any real personality. The Lonesome Road, however, expands on his character and goes more in depth into his history.: He may not look very threatening, but think about it for a minute: this lowly Eyeb.
