!![=Companions=]
[[folder:In General]]
The player can encounter various companion characters throughout their journey.
----
* {{Badass}}: A requirement for being the newest hero's companion.
* GameplayAllyImmortality: While they're following you, the companions cannot die. If they fall in battle, they enter a downed state and can either be instantly revived with a Stimpack or they'll pick themselves up after the fight's over.
* RelationshipValues: All characters save for Dogmeat have either positive or negative reactions towards your actions. By getting them to "Idolize" you, you earn a special perk from them.
* RomanceSidequest: Certain companions can be romanced by [[EveryoneIsBi either gender]].
* UndyingLoyalty: They will fight with you until you no longer require their services. The only one who will never leave you no matter what is [[CanineCompanion Dogmeat]].

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6au6kk9girg0878x0z_z96kyq.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' River
A dog that the 111 Vault Dweller finds near their old home.
----
* AdoptTheDog: Literally. The player comes across Dogmeat and takes him in as his/her animal companion.
* BadassAdorable: Sweet doggy that can tear apart ghouls with the best of them.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: In one moment, he could be a happy pooch like in his picture, the next he's ''viciously ripping out a raider's throat''.
* CanineCompanion: You find him at the end of the tutorial and he sticks with you for the rest of the game.
* DogStereotype: German Shepherds are typically portrayed as heroic dogs or the dog version of TheAce; so naturally Dogmeat is awesome.
* LegacyCharacter: He is the third CanineCompanion named Dogmeat to appear in a ''Fallout'' game.
* UndyingLoyalty: Dogmeat will help you fight scores of raiders and other monstrosities throughout the Wastes. He's also the only companion who has no relationship meter: he's simply always loyal to you.

[[folder:Codsworth]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/codsworth.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Stephen Russell
The Mister Handy robot belonging to the player character's family. He can join the player as a companion.
His unique perk, "Robot Sympathy", gives the player bonus damage resistance against robot weapons.
----
* AbsurdlyDedicatedWorker: He has been waiting patiently around the player's house for 210 years for them to return.
-->'''Codsworth:''' That means you're, erm... two centuries late for dinner! Perhaps I could whip you up a snack? You must be famished!
* BadassNormal: He was designed as a general-purpose worker/Manservant and thus lacks dedicated weaponry or combat programming. He's just as capable in a scrap as you are.
* DentedIron: Literally! But [[{{Pun}} Puns]] aside, Codsworth is in [[RagnarokProofing pretty good condition, all things considered]], but the years have definitely left more than a few marks on him. [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/9/9e/Codsworth_pre-War.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/639?cb=20150621171212 This]] is what he looked like before the bombs fell, and [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/1/12/Codsworth_E3_PostWar.png/revision/latest?cb=20150616000527 This]] is how he looks when you reunite (his chrome finish is gone, got quite a few dents and rusty spots, and he's missing his flamethrower attachment).
* HelloInsertNameHere: Codsworth is able to address your character by name, provided it's within its list of names. Of course, it will also address you as such terms as "Fuckface" or "Boobies" if you enter that as your name.
** TheNicknamer: If he doesn't address the player by their name, he'll address them as "Sir" or "Ma'am" depending on their gender.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: He essentially breaks down CRYING if you take him with you when you revisit Vault 111 and sees your spouse's corpse in the cryopod.]]
* NiceGuy: It's telling that a good way to gain his favor is by performing acts of compassion and altruism.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: You know something is wrong when Codsworth sounds panicked. Something like the news announcing nuclear detonations in New York and Pennsylvania.
* RobotBuddy: Acts as one even before the bombs fell, helping you out around the house and looking after your son.
* RobotMaid: Robot Butler, rather; all Mister Handy robots serve this function.
* StepfordSmiler: At first he tries to hide how upset the 210 years you've been in cryo have made him, but you can get him to open up, at which point he reveals how miserable he's been without you...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint in his own way]].
* UndyingLoyalty: Even after 210 years, it still remembers and recognizes you as its master and is happy to once again be by your side.

[[folder:Cait]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Katy Townsend
An Irish pit-fighter and chem addict who resides in the Combat Zone. Cait has a harsh outlook on life. She is recruited after the Sole Survivor clears out the raiders in the arena and her manager Tommy, now out of a job, hands her over.
Her unique perk, "Trigger Rush", allows your Action Points to regenerate +25% faster if the Hit Points value is 25% of its maximum.
----
* ActionGirl: Or DarkActionGirl, depending on how you choose to deal with her.
* BloodKnight: Cait ''lives'' for the thrill of combat.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She was the woman in the arena cheering her victory in the E3 combat montage.
* FieryRedhead: Described as such almost word-for-word. Her attitude certainly shows.
* FreudianExcuse: Her life has been absolute hell. She was raised by shitty parents until she was 18, at which point she was sold to slavers and was forced to be their toy for five years until she stole enough to buy her own freedom and could finally get revenge on her parents.
* FightingIrish: As violent as they come in the world of post-apocalyptia.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piperbgs.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Courtney Ford
A resident of Diamond City, Piper has her own newspaper called "Public Occurrences." Upon meeting the Sole Survivor, she's quick to figure out their Vault Dweller origins, sparking her interest.
Her unique perk, "Gift of Gab", doubles the XP earned by passing skill checks and discovering new locations.
----
* ActionGirl: She's ready to travel the hostile, irradiated wasteland at a moment's notice, and is in fact quite eager for some action. Sometimes it's hard to remember that her primary job lies in reporting news...
* AffectionateNickname: She likes to call the Sole Survivor "Blue" in reference to the iconic Vault jumpsuit (even if they're not wearing it).
* DeadpanSnarker: And ''how''. Nearly every word that comes out of her mouth is either this, or an inquisitive remark. Or both. It's usually both.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Like Preston, she appeared in ''Fallout Shelter'' as a Legendary Dweller prior to the release of the actual game. Unlike Preston, who was in the game from the very beginning, Piper was added in through an update.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: First time the Sole Survivor runs into her, she's been locked out of Diamond City under orders from its vindictive (corrupt) mayor. After a brief attempt at [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] her way in, she immediately enlists your help, [[GuileHero fools the guard with a simple bluff]]... and you're both clear.
* HotScoop: She's a foxy, raven-haired lass.
* IntrepidReporter: Writes for her own newspaper, hence "Reporter", and serves as a companion for the player-character, hence "Intrepid".
** Besides that, she takes pride in getting into trouble -- or as she puts it, "hairy situations". Once, a cartel of caravan traders poisoned her for getting in the way, which then forced her to down an entire bottle of moonshine to vomit it all up. Also, she had to fake a vision of Atom when the Children of Atom were about to sacrifice her to said "deity".
* NiceGirl: Friendly, playful, and easy to get along with (unless you're a complete asshole). Piper is passionate about helping the common folk through her journalism, and generally approves of good deeds.
* NiceHat: Wears an old style newsboy hat.

His only hope is a suit of T-45 Power Armor on the roof, but its fusion core is dry, and the only one close by is locked up tight in the basement...
His unique perk, "United we Stand", gives you a 20% bonus to Damage and +20 Damage Resistance when facing off against three or more enemies.

* CanineCompanion: You find him at the end of the tutorial and he sticks with you for the rest of the game.

* HelloInsertNameHere: Codsworth is able to address your character by name, provided it's within its list of names. Of course, it will also address you as such terms as "Fuckface" or "Boobies" if you enter that as your name.
** TheNicknamer: If he doesn't address the player by their name, he'll address them as "Sir" or "Ma'am" depending on their gender.

* RobotBuddy: Acts as one even before the bombs fell, helping you out around the house and looking after your son.
* RobotMaid: Robot Butler, rather; all Mister Handy robots serve this function.
* StepfordSmiler: At first he tries to hide how upset the 210 years you've been in cryo have made him, but you can get him to open up, at which point he reveals how miserable he's been without you...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint in his own way]].
