Fallout 4hassome of the best companionsof any Bethesda game, but they aren’t all made equal. You can fight through the Commonwealth solo, so I’m going to focus on the stories every companion has to tell to determine who’s the best traveling partner. Because of that there are going to be some notable absences. Look, I love Dogmeat. He’s such a good boy, but inFallout 4, he really doesn’t have much of a story or, you know, any character traits to speak of....
