Fallout fans officially vote Nick Valentine as series' greatest companion

Fallout 4 featured several characters you could travel with as companions, and everybody has their favourite. While I personally loved Dogmeat, he didn’t exactly offer any sparkling conversation. Each character would offer something a little different to give you a reason to take them along on your journey and it made for a highlight of the game.

Now fans over on Reddit have had a vote to see who the most popular companion is and, to be honest, it’s not really a surprise who won. Nick Valentine is not only a popular Fallout 4 character, but he’s one of the best in the entire Fallout franchise.

Despite no new entries since Fallout 4, the franchise is going from strength to strength

Nick Valentine is a synthetic private detective whose story became an endearing one for anyone who played the game. Between his mysterious origins and his soothing voice, Valentine quickly became a favourite with many players desperate to romance him.

It seems many of the Reddit users who voted could see the victory coming, even if they voted for someone else. As one user points out, it’s understandable that Nick secured the win with 1,200 votes as he had a whole DLC pack based on his character, “I suppose it's unsurprising that the only two characters to get DLCs semi-dedicated to them did the best.” In second place was ED-E who also saw a focus in a DLC pack, so perhaps they’re onto something.

This Redditor hits the nail on the head, “No surprise, Nick is on a completely different level compared to other companions. Nick is a multi-faceted character like from a movie or a TV show (damn, now I want Nick in the show).” I’ve not played Fallout 4 since its release and Nick is still very memorable. His design is top-notch and lends a Blade Runner style to the universe.
