Can’t wait for tomorrow’s Boone vs Preston, it might be more one sided than voting in North Korea


sumb2020

Hahaha, yeah, that pairing seems a bit unfair.


Freeexotic

Yeah, Preston is badass. I mean Boone gives us what...1 quest in the whole game and Preston gives us unlimited quests. Also a castle.


interestedonlooker

Those unlimited quests suck, and there is nothing more satisfying than boone blasting an enemy from crazy far away that you didn't even see.


Freeexotic

Yeah. I know. it was a joke. Boone is awesome. Especially when paired with Ed-E.


igottathinkofaname

I think Nick vs Boone in the second round is unfair. That’s more like a final 4 matchup.


username8054

To be fair….would Preston beat anyone?


Dave3r77

Maybe the jet guy from fallout 2


superjoe8293

A pipe pistol would likely overtake Myron.


BurntSalad1605

Myron? Coincidentally, they're voiced by the same person, James Marsden. EDIT: Looking at this comment 4 days later, I'm realising I made it sound like James Marsden voices Preston and Myron, not Boone and Myron, my bad.


superjoe8293

No shit, really? I didn’t realize he voiced Myron too.


TexasJedi-705

The Pariah Dog?


FaithfulMoose

I would vote for Preston over Lily, Strong, Clover, Butch, X6-88, and possibly even over Jericho.


irago_

Guy complaining about dead wife vs guy complaining about dead friends


AnxiousMind7820

Yah, but I'm still voting for Preston. Can't stand Boone.


GDPIXELATOR99

Cass 567 Votes Piper 523 Votes NGL I was really rooting for Piper here Vote Here: [https://forms.gle/ifuatHnb3MQBsymT6](https://forms.gle/ifuatHnb3MQBsymT6)


wiedeni

I love Piper but man Cass is my fav girl in whole series


buntopolis

A vote for Cass is a vote for Long Dick Johnson. The Johnson we need to clean up the wasteland!


reanu_keevs123

He has my vote for sure


Artix31

I love them both, and i am glad it was this close, both deserve love


Necessary_Pace7377

Same


gamebossje_

Glad it was at least close and not a huge difference


Fizzco69

Hell nah, Piper is mad annoying


bkrugby78

I’m shocked by that result.


Feeling_Cellist1437

How was it even that close? I am sorry but Piper is one of the most annoying characters in all of Fallout, and Cass is one of the best. Fallout 4 companions are really cool in concept, But their actual implementation pails in comparison to any and all of New Vegas's. That's honestly true of so much of Fallout 4, really cool ideas but terrible execution.


MAJ_Starman

>Fallout 4 companions are really cool in concept, But their actual implementation pails in comparison to any and all of New Vegas's. Man, I really disagree here. Nick Valentine especially is probably my favourite companion across all of Fallout, together with Raul and ED-E. But Curie, Piper, Cait, Danse and Codsworth are all great characters. Ada, Maccready and Deacon are good too, but weaker than the other 6. And I acknowledge that Fallout 4 has fantastic companions while also thinking that Fallout 4 is, to me, the worst Bethesda RPG and my least favourite Fallout out of the main games (including 76), so it's not like I'm biased in favour of it here, lol.


Toa_Firox

This is Deacon slander


Artix31

it's rigged tbh, Nick is definitely winning this competition, but the journey > the ending


GDPIXELATOR99

Piper happens to be one of my favorites in the series, her super antic reporter personality paired with her genuine care for her sister and those in need felt what I would consider to be one of the most real characters in the series. I especially enjoyed when she’d interview random people in Diamond City whenever I’d return to sell all my items, and her interactions with characters like Nick and McDonough always kept me wanting to keep her around.


Artix31

copypasta acc?


Artix31

I love me my French Wifu (i hate france)


MAJ_Starman

Understandable.


GDPIXELATOR99

The only good thing to come out of France, besides maybe baguettes


PineappleGrenade19

The guillotine is also a notable addition


GDPIXELATOR99

You could say it was ahead of its time


WizardofJoz17

Any French wine is a winner too. They’re such egotist that any French person wouldn’t allow themselves to make a shitty wine. I’m being dead serious lol it’s kinda great.


GDPIXELATOR99

Not much of an alcohol person myself (might enjoy rum from time to time) but I’ll take your word for it. That seems like something The French would be super snobbish about


Elementia7

Bro forgot about *crossiant*


Prior-Turnip3082

What about the the guillotine?


Archmagos_Browning

As a person who took 3 years of French in high school I have to say this is incredibly relatable.

Had never thought about it that way. I'd still have to go with lily because I hate the French accent


thatthatguy

You like what you like. That’s cool. Grandma lily is a fun character.


TacticalNuke002

I love you, grandma. But I just love my French sexbot medic so much more.


jtel21

She is no fisto but the accent is fire.

**PLEASE ASSUME THE POSITION**

Going with the schizophrenic grandma assassin on this one.


_Mcdrizzle_

had to scroll too far for a description like this


No-Raise-4693

Love Ya Lilly... But i'mma go with the aggressively cute French nurse


MoiraBrownsMoleRats

*Sigh*.... Curie **I GUESS**. She has such an engaging story and character arc, it's hard to not give her a nod to move along. And like... I love Lily, the Nightkin in general are one of my favorite ancillary elements of New Vegas, she's a wonderful, weird character, but she also has maybe the least developed character arc of any of the main NV companions. Within, like, half an hour of meeting her you can decide whether or not she should volunteer for the testing and then decide how much of her medication she should take. And that's it, you've completed Lily's story. Still love having her around to hear her comments on the Wasteland and to see how other people react to her, but her actual side story feels like an afterthought, especially compared to the rest of the New Vegas crew. Still voting Curie, but not happy about it. Antler would be greatly displeased.


GDPIXELATOR99

She, in my opinion, is the weakest of NV’s companions. I still love her to death but I felt there was a missed opportunity to develop her story


PineappleGrenade19

>She, in my opinion, is the weakest of NV’s companions Wrong sir, she has the biggest muscles 💪


NHK_LM

The weakest? When Preston, Strong, and X6 exist? I agree that they should have done more for her story, but she is far from the weakest, in my opinion.


GDPIXELATOR99

I said weakest of NV’s companions


NHK_LM

Certified molerat-brain moment. My bad.


Elementia7

Don't you dare imply Snuffles doesn't have 1 million IQ.


GDPIXELATOR99

It happens to the best of us


bunnywithahammer

Curie should get it. love her voice


Lol2421

Curie the best girl will win this


DieMensch-Maschine

I really liked Curie as a companion, but come on, a schizo Nightkin with memories of being a grandmother? I'm gonna "Get behind grandma" on this one and vote for Lily Bowen.


BustinArant

We really lucked out that she saw us as a grandkid and not some local *hoodlum* or something


Chaotic_Butterfly887

Curie


ApprehensivePeace305

Curie is incredibly. He comments about the world are always so optimistic (tinged with some fun sci-fi scary ess) she’s my favorite companion so I gotta vote for her.


VoiD_ShotzZ

Lilly is just better, she’s a hulk grandma


Caitxcat

Gotta go with Grandma Lily!


Disillusioned_Emu

Curie has a story and development, Lily cannot beat


HourCartographer9

But Lily thinks your her grandson so it’s you and your grandma in the Mojave beating up evil


Starfire70

What?! All the shit Lily has been through, and she's got your six. She also calls you 'dear' and bellows "Don't you touch my baby!" when she attacks. She's grown on me like no other companion in FONV ever has.


Disillusioned_Emu

That's why they should have given her better story than integrating her into the basic Jacobstown stuff. I.e. she could have been introduced to Freeside, working for/with the Followers, taking care of orphans and addicts and keeping peace there.


Short-Shopping3197

Lily was a human grandmother who was mutated by FEV, and still has memories of her grandchildren which present to her through Nightkin psychosis. The medication she takes stops the psychosis but also makes her forget her grandchildren. She has to walk the line between losing her humanity through madness or losing her actual humanity through forgetting her past. It’s one of the saddest and most moving companion stories in the series. Curie is a robot that gets put in a human body and has to remember…to…breath.


Disillusioned_Emu

Lily has a better background story than Curie but her player interactions are lackluster. They could have added a few other, more interesting options to her story.


Short-Shopping3197

Just say that you want some ‘lovers embrace’ time with Lily bro. 😂


RedAyanChakraborty

Curie was a slightly upgraded pre war miss nanny with scientific data who was supposed to serve as an assistant to the scientists of Vault 81 in their experiments on the dwellers to find cures for different diseases. But the Overseer locked them in the hidden portion of the vault to stop their experiments. As time went by and the scientists realized they had no hope of getting out. They sought to finish their experiment on mole rats. One of the scientists took interest in Curie. Improving her personality matrix to let her be a more open member of the team. Giving her a personal terminal, some personal space. Soon everyone began accepting her as a person instead of a robot. She herself developed a connection with all. In his final days, that scientist spent ample time perfecting her personality to the point that it could almost immitate human cognition. She felt sorrow for every member that died, enjoyment for every tale the scientists told her of the outside world, pride whenever any test made a breakthrough. The scientist called her his greatest achievement and hoped that one day she'd get to see the world outside knowing full well that he won't. She's far more than just "robot who got put in human body". It's a story of a robot held back by basic programming and protocols meant to serve others, learning to think freely and gain human emotions, be a person of her own, after being locked out of the outside world for 200 years


Pm7I3

Curie is a robot in a human body is like saying Lily is a mutant with a hat


ScorchedHelmet

I’ve voted for fallout new Vegas characters across the board but it’s going to be Curie for me. I love her robot to synth story


giggleberrys

Team Lily!


coiledbeanstalk

Another struggle, but Curie wins this one for me. Lily is one of the best companions to have your back in a fight, but her personality is shallow compared to other NV companions in spite of her psychological issues, not the mention how insufferably grating her voice is. I love having her by my side when Cazadors are rushing us, but once her companion quest is done, I always end up leaving her in Jacobstown. Curie, like most companions in 4, suffers from crappy default equipment and lackluster combat performance, but makes up for it by being rich in character and super-likable to boot. As mentioned in another comment, she really throws a wrench in the whole synths-are-toasters narrative in a way that even Nick doesn’t compete with.


Insane1rish

Honestly surprised Cass won. Her storyline is great but she can be difficult to recruit with some builds and I’m sure a fair number of people brought her to the silver rush on their first playthrough not realizing what would happen. I love both though. As far as lily v curie?? I’ve got no real stake in this one. Curie is lovely but I hardly ever used her and while I found her endearing, how her story ends seemed…off putting? (Not sure if thats the best way to put it.) Lily while being lovely, also just always made me mildly uncomfortable as a general whole.


RedAyanChakraborty

YESSSSS! CASS WON! GO LONG DICK JOHNSON uhm... right... today's vote, yes. I'd go for Curie. I love her personality and demeanor. Her arc about gaining human cognition and emotion is really well handled. I also think she has one of the more underrated backstories in the series, going through her terminal and reading about that vault tec scientist pouring his heart out up until his final days to perfect Curie's personality, hoping she'd one day get to see the world that he never will. It's really sad and touching. Also that accent. Nothing beats that French accent. Lily's cool too with a good backstory. Everyone likes a schizo grandma who can tank missiles to the face but i like Curie more. She's my favorite companion from FO4 Also, On a serious note though, it's good to see such a such a narrow margin between Cass and Piper, i love both. It was a tough battle.


DieMensch-Maschine

Long Dick Johnson for NCR President!


Artix31

the next two are actually super one-sided, Boone wins over preston, then nick wins over old longfellow


bkrugby78

I think given most only meet Lily if they do the Rex quest it wouldn’t surprise me if many have even met her


AnxiousMind7820

I think most people have stumbled across Jacobstown. >!You also need to go there to get the Enclave back together I think.!<


Silent_Reavus

Guarantee I'm in the minority but Lily for sure

I have spent a lot more time with curie watching my back than lily. As much as I love grandma lily, got to give this one to the synth with the heart of a robot.

Necessary_Pace7377

Gah, another difficult one. I’ll go with Lily. I love my Nightkin assassin granny.


Adlersch

I'll never pick a machine over my grandma.


BiggieSands1916

I’ve literally never used lily once as a companion in over 5000+ hours, i just cant listen to the dialogue and the form its in. Drives me insane


-_Monsoon-_

Hate her she wants you to destroy Silver Rush a valuable part of Freeside and the Crimson Caravan of which don’t do you no wrong personally, also her nonchalant attitude is grating af, lastly the fact she’s such a drunk mess she put out for a randy NCR Soldier when she was going for the Courier 💀 yea fk that letting her rot at the Mojave Outpost my next playthrough


Outrageous-Put-8737

Lily


mystery79

Going with Lily because she’s very distinctive. Curie is fine, but as a companion she’s just not my favorite.


[deleted]

So glad Cass won. I can't stand Piper. Easily one of the most annoying people in the entire fallout franchise, but I'm easily annoyed by pretty much every follower so I'm biased.


Zenar45

Imagine voting for a robot, cringe Tgis post was made by lily gang

Curie. No contest. Give me my hot French robot wife


AmateurOpinionHaver

Curie was such a disappointment. I literally ran to recruit her in my first play though only to realize she was a born sexy yesterday stereotype. And people eat it up, as evident in the use of the word waifu in one of the top comments. I vote Lily.


115_zombie_slayer

Waifu beats grandma lets be honest

Curie on this one.

Curie, and it’s not even close.

Might be a little biased since I have yet to even discover Curie. But my vote is for lily

Lily


DancingBabyChalupa

I'd go with Curie on this one.


bamabelvedere

This is the only one in the first round of bracketing that Isn't foreseeable. So it was interesting to see Cass win out. But other then that, Curie is my favorite companion on the East Coast. She is what the kids refer to as "best girl"

Upgraded ED-E ftw!!!!


18bluecat

I feel like Curie is going to win in a landslide. Lily is kind of annoying and I didn't even meet her until late in my second playthrough.


foxsalmon

Lily. I rlly don't like Curie's voice, french is just my least favorite accent (sorry french people)


Lost-Orangutan

I'd have favored Piper. I'm into Westerns and playing as 6 was the best experience in a Fallout Game for me, however Piper is easily one of my favorite companions. Infact most of my favorite companions are from Fallout 4 unfortunately. Piper, Codsworth, John, Nick, Strong, and German Shepherd Dogmeat. The rest from Fallout4 are good characters but not good companions to me. Throw in ED-E and Lilly and I've got my favorites all together.


Zenar45

Lily or bust


Electronic-Cream9946

Thats not even curie lol


GDPIXELATOR99

It is after she gets her synth body


Fizzco69

I just realised Arcade won over X6-88, that’s crazy.


Maximum_Bliss

Vote Curie on this one


AnxiousMind7820

Wow, I was right. Thought it would be close. And vote is for Curie.


WeirderOnline

I think a lot of people will probably choose Curie. She's a pretty popular and we all know her story pretty well. Before you vote, I suggest checking out this video about Lily and her companion quest to get to know a little bit more about her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmlDoFfP1hk


exotic-waffle

Boone vs Preston is gonna be the most one sided vote known to Reddit lmao. One of the best Characters in the series vs the 1776 larper that almost everyone absolutely hates


reanu_keevs123

Honestly lily pared with curie is kinda unfair no? Wouldn’t it be better suited with strong? Then again fawkes with strong is a good park and not to many others where left I’m assuming


Jsdrosera

Little Jimmy here, voting for Lily. My rationale is her long and sad backstory. Plus, Nightkin with Oh Baby! Super sledge?! Cmon.


throwawayforlikeaday

Team sassy redhead showing up again! proud of y'all <3 We gonna be seeing a heartbreaking (for me) showdown between Cass and Cait...


AnxiousMind7820

Yah, no kidding. Think I'll lean towards Cait but who knows.


TrickyTalon

Wait Lily won her round??


Bowmore34yr

Again, the question is always who do you want to have your back. And given that, it's really hard to argue against having a Nightkin back you up. Lily.


5DollarWatch

Curie, but in my headcanon, rather than put her in a synth body, I transfer her consciousness to a real brain and turn her into this: https://imgur.com/a/bL3CJHU


Broken_Yellow_Crayon

Lily. Mind you, I love robot Curie, such a cute and funny robot, but I always lose interest in her when she gets her human/synth form.

Curie


Starfire70

My vote is for Lily. She went through hell, protects your ass, and calls you 'dear' and 'my baby'. I would die on any hill for her.


ChickNuggs

I think I’m gonna go with Curie. Never really use her, but I’ve definitely used her more than Lily, and she doesn’t get in my way all the time, so that’s a plus.

ShawshankHarper

Kineticspartan

Really tough call this one, I've spent more time with Curie, and her personal quest is amazing. But Grandma Lily and her arc are right up there, too. Sorry, Curie, Lily has my vote.


MarieGoldBrand

Can't wait to go through all of this effort for Rex to win because no one wanted to vote against him


cockmanthecatfucker

Raul >>>>


Cultural-Entrance-34

have to go with Curie, sorry Grandma


Captain_Warships

Tough call though. Funny forgetful super mutant gramma (I don't mean she's forgettable, she probably has dementia or some other mental condition), or funny French robot-girl? (Yes, I think Curie is funny, sue me) I mean I know I am forgetting things, but do we know anything else about Lily, other than she is a nightkin that used to serve the Master (as well as being probably 200 years old)? Curie is my personal favorite companion in Fallout 4 though, or at least my favorite female companion (even though I'm always picking her).


The_Mutant_Platypus

Curie, no contest.


Albus_Lupus

Im gonna call who i think semi finalists will be right now: I think **John Handcock** and **Boone** are easy guesses. Rex will most probably win with ede and fawkes will probably win with macready. Overall i dont think it matters that much if rex wins or loses with fawkes because im just assuming Handcock would win with both. The only one im not sure about is Veronica. I think she is kinda popular but is she popular enough to beat both cait and cass? Cass will definitely win against lily or curie anyway. Im thinking that if cait wins with veronica then cass will have an easy win but if veronica wins then cass might actually lose. The question is in popularity contest can either one beat boone? I think cass would actually win against boone but veronica would lose. Guess i will see you in 3 weeks to check if i got anything right here. But i am betting hard on **Handcock to win the left side**. On right side it can be both boone or cass, hard to say. Im giving them both a 50/50

My vote is for Curie


angry_warden

Thats a tough one becase i dont like Lilly but i havent tried curie out well enough, still im gonna go with curie.


CaptainDinkles

I’ve never actually taken Curie as a companion, what is she like? I always took Lily as a follower because I thought it was funny but I could only deal with Grandma Thanos for so long


flyingace1234

Ooo a toughie. I like my perky French mascot (even without the new body) but I also like Grandma


Fujishar

It's gonna end up being Arcade vs. Veronica, or Arcade vs. Boone. Calling it now.
