as someone who is a fallout 4 fan the writing falls incredibly short with every companion at many points throughout the game so I want to know who you think got it the worst!

my objective rankings of (most of) the fallout 4 companions based on my opinions of them, mostly on how much i like them and how well written I think they are (or aren’t. in a lot of cases.) going from best to worst.
1: preston garvey. easily the best written companion, one of the like top ten best characters in the franchise, if not the best presented though. if he had not been designated as the lackey for the most generic and repetitive radiant quests in the game, he would probably have gotten to shine more as just a very good character
2: ADA. i just really like ADA i’m sorry she’s barely a character but i’m hugely biased bc i just like her
3: piper wright. Although not a companion I often travel with after getting to others, she’s still a really cool character. I like how she has unique dialogue animations and facial expressions to make her stand out as a very exuberant and loud person. her story is also pretty good, if pretty general. she mostly ranks so high bc it’s difficult to find faults with her
4: nick valentine. One of my favorite companions in the franchise, he just has such a rich personality and striking visual design, paired with a really strong narrative, good all around. Ranks below piper bc you can’t put him in any other outfits. peel that thang off of him
HANCOCK i forgot him. he goes here. i like him
5: codsworth. what codsworth lacks in plot, he makes up for in personality. i think him being connected to you from before the war makes for some interesting potential dynamics based on your chosen roleplay
6: curie: curie is really cute and good, i love her story and her comments on things. Only bad things about her are the weird tropes she falls into as a woman you essentially “make” and then can romance if you choose to. nothing too egregious, but weird writing
7: old longfellow. i think i just like this old fart.
8: danse. boring but nothing i dislike about him. his quest is good and an interesting twist
9: maccready. i like him, but his story is boring. i think the thing where they wrote him to be like really conscious about swearing based on his fallout 3 iteration is really really funny though
10: strong. i also like strong but he’s easily the weakest out of the companions story wise, effectively having nothing in the way of it. even his reasoning for following you is nothing you can act on bc his goal doesn’t actually exist and has no resolution. i usually like to make a settlement just for him and let him live quietly and peacefully.
11: cait. the only companion whose writing actively irritates and annoys me to the point of ALMOST disliking the character herself, although i do still try to like her despite it. one of the worst character plot lines bethesda has come up in the entirety of their work across all the franchises. just a miserable excuse for a character and story when it could’ve been so much better so easily, if they had had even one person with a brain in their skull in the building when they wrote cait, maybe she would’ve turned out better but here we are
companions who have been OMITTED from the rankings are dogmeat, porter gage, deacon, and x6-88. dogmeat bc he is immune to criticism by virtue of being a dog, and the others bc i simply have never interacted with them enough as companions to form an opinion. especially gage and x6, as i have still never like actually fully played nuka world, nor have i played an institute aligned character. if i had to just throw together a ranking for them though based on what i do know of them, it would probably be x6 > deacon > gage

What's Wrong With The Companions
Made a list, somewhat in order of who I think got shafted the hardest by Bethesda's poor writing / releasing an unfinished game. Also a very very brief view at what I think is wrong and could be fixed about them.
Overall: Let these people talk to each other. Damn. They only ever talk during companion swaps or the rare quest script. Half of these guys end up living in the same place (Sanctuary / Red Rocket / wherever you leave them) because they have nowhere else to go once you pick them up, have that do something.
Take a page out of Dragon Age's book and let us travel with multiple companions at a time. Worried about difficulty for people who don't want to travel in groups? Scale it.
Piper Wright: Just... everything. She's a horrible journalist and she's a bad sister for some reason? Why is her quest (it's really just a conversation) about whether she should abandon her young sister? Why does her sister sleep on the floor while she has a big bed?
Her romance is weird to me because it's clear she's meant to be the basic choice for Bethesda's target audience and it affects her character negatively. Not saying she shouldn't be romancable, just... fix the weirdness. She's treated like a young replacement wife and new mummy to synth Shaun.
Curie: Remove romance option. Have her transition into being a synth mean more than... that...
It should have been tied in to the main quest. It should have sparked a compelling narrative bit about memory and originality of self, à la 'Soma' and 'Wolfenstein: The New Order'. Could have tied in to Nick and why he would never choose to do the same.
X6-88: Let him be able to actually turn his back on the Institute. I don't think he could go so far as joining the Railroad, or even actively joining the big fight against the Institute, but let him recognize his situation for what is it, cut himself off from it, and begin healing. Similar to Danse getting out of the Brotherhood, but not necessarily needing his life at stake to do so.
Danse: Give him the other half of his character arc. Change his bigotted dialogue more and more over time.
Preston Garvey: Have him introduce you to helping settlements and leave it at that. Maybe an option to ask him if a settlement needs help, but no more unprompted radiant quests. Give him a personal quest to retake Quincy after you've got the Castle and built up the Minutemen.
Minutemen faction needs a whole section for it's own fixes but otherwise Preston himself is fine, it's just the radiant quest thing that needs fixing.
Cait: Make her take time on her recovery, you can still use the magic detox chair but she's still gonna struggle with the mental side of addiction. More conversations about how her abusive past effects her, get this girl some therapy.
Strong: Free my man, and by that I mean free all super mutants from Bethesda's grubby hands. You can have a roid rager companion and still let them have a unique and compelling story of their own. Strong could have been so much. There's so many directions they could have gone with him that I can't even begin to list them all, but instead they chose none.
RJ MacCready: Make his backstory make sense. This mans been up and down the eastcoast wasteland, back and forth and all over, and done so much but he's only 22. A lot of this could probably be fixed by Bethesda putting more thought into Lucy and who she actually was. It's like half the people working on him kept forgetting he's a cameo of a kid from 3 and not the 30 year old from the concept art.
Fix his likes and dislikes, some of those are weird af compared to his actual values. Have us at least hear about Duncan again, but also is it really so hard to create multiple children models for different ages? Just size them down.
Codsworth: Give him more substance than just being the PC's pre-war butler. Or yknow, have that mean something more. Just give him something more, he's so bland rn.
He could be an interesting look at how post-war robots have been able to take care of themselves and build new bits onto their pre-programmed personalities without human interference. Robotic self determination has been part of the Fallout world long before they brought synths into it, the fact that he can judge your actions and choose to leave your side as a companion is proof enough. Work with it.
John Hancock: Put more emphasis on the fact that going ghoul and becoming mayor didn't really change anything for how he acts and views himself. Show him struggling with these more through more conversations with the character. Give him a quest. Have his brother being replaced by a synth mean something more than a single comment.
Nick Valentine: Nick's problems aren't really about Nick, but the things around him. Messy main quest, fix Kellogg and do something with that ghost-in-the-machine hook, make Eddie Winter be doing something. Jeez.
Old Longfellow: I'm sorry I haven't actually played with you old man. I guess that's his big issue: Don't let him be so harshly overshadowed by another characters story.
Dogmeat: Should have been able to have him alongside other companions like they originally intended. Otherwise general quality of life shit that really just goes for all companions: options to tell them how far behind to follow, better stealth, etc.
Porter Gage: Basically perfect. Fix Nuka World though, give us more options than single-route-evil or nothing. Let me take this feral dog home.
Ada: She's fine. Sassy baby. I love her. Just give her affinity and a perk so she can stand up with everyone else. Robot rights!
Deacon: Actually nothing wrong with him. His chaotic nature protected him from Bethesda's bullshittery. Railroad could use some work, but again, that's for a section on factions themselves.

DOCTOBER '23 ⸺ 「 13 / 31 * PHOTO ALBUM 」
June 12, 2005, 1131 Park Lane, Hilldale
❝Now I know you said you didn't want any gifts, Marty, but showing up to your birthday without even a single gift was simply unthinkable. It doesn't matter how old you are; you're never too old to receive something from the people you care about.❞
Marty hurls a very pointed, accusatory stare Emmett's way and the way the soft blue of his eyes turns to ice digs it in a little deeper. ❝This coming from the man who didn't even tell me when his birthday was! I had to find out from Clara when you got back from the past!❞
Emmett waves a hand, hastily trying to change the topic. He remembers all too well their first year in the future as a family, when Clara had looked up Marty McFly to invite him to be part of what he would later learn were secret birthday celebrations, and the way the boy had actually managed to keep it from him until the day of, where he had vowed to never let him forget it.
In hindsight, this was a much lesser evil to occasionally be reminded of.
❝Yes, well, my point still stands. Here, Marty.❞ He presses a rather haphazardly wrapped gift into Marty's hands that immediately softens the stare that was just trained on him. Marty arches a brow and lifts the gift to inspect it, turning it over in his palms. Emmett can practically see his thoughts written on his forehead, but to his surprise, Marty doesn't shake the gift to try and find out what's inside.
❝It's from Clara and I, but as you may have guessed, I was the one who wrapped it.❞
Marty smiles. ❝Couldn't even tell, Doc. You're getting better. I remember the very first gift you ever tried to wrap for me; now that was a mess. You put so much tape on it I couldn't even open it!❞
How could I forget? They were only a year into their friendship at that point, but Emmett had wanted to get something special for the boy after everything he'd done for him to show him that he was appreciated.
❝I can promise this one has significantly less tape on it.❞
Marty tears open the red wrapping paper with the same enthusiasm he'd displayed on all his birthdays to-date. Inside is a photo album that looks like an antique book, adorned with the words, bonds through time, that reminded Marty of the photo he'd been presented with when the Brown family made their first leap back to 1985.
❝Clara actually inscribed that herself; she's got beautiful penmanship. Anyway, it's a photo album!❞ Emmett smiles as Marty continues to stare at the book in his hands. ❝Since we had the boys, we've been documenting all the milestones and adventures in their lives. And since you and your family have been such a huge part of that, we thought we'd compile some of our favourite photos for you to keep. We have copies, of course, so don't worry about that.❞
❝Doc—❞ Marty chokes on the word and instead of fumbling for something else to say, he flips open the book and starts looking at the pages.
An eight-year-old Verne has his arms spread wide, grinning as Marty gives him his first lesson about balancing on the skateboard.
Marty, Jennifer, and Jules are carrying boxes into the McFlys' new home while Verne and Curie watch from the lawn.
Clara and Jennifer smile from inside Clara's new car.
Emmett, dressed to the nines in a black suit, stands with his arm around Marty's shoulders on the morning of the McFly wedding.
Marty and Jennifer kiss at the altar, looking positively radiant.
The Brown and McFly kids run rampant in Emmett's backyard, being chased by a holographic dinosaur.
Marty and Einstein lay cuddled up on the couch together.
The clock strikes midnight on the year two thousand and the McFly twins are staring at the cake behind the camera while everyone else, decked out in ridiculous holiday gear, beams at the camera.
The photos are placed in seemingly random order and Marty flips through several other pages of photographs before finally coming to the first blank page. He blinks several times before looking up, and there must be a question written on his face, because Emmett says, ❝We didn't want to fill the whole album. There's plenty of space for you to add your own photos. We figured we'd start it, but it's up to you and Jennifer to finish it.❞
Marty sniffs and throws his arms around Emmett. ❝I love it, Doc. Really. Thanks.❞
❝Of course. Happy birthday, Marty.❞

It was radium— “my beautiful radium” as Marie called it—that seemed the most promising of these new materials. Polonium was too intensely active, burning itself away within a year. Uranium was more stable but less energized, dribbling its radiation comparatively slowly away. Radium, on the other hand, glowed with promise. It decayed slowly; its half-life was sixteen hundred years, yet it spat and sparked with a steady release of energy. The Curies had measured radium’s intensity at some three thousand times that of uranium. It was rather like finding a tiny star buried in the dirt. A very tiny star—the Curies had isolated only 100 milligrams of pure radium from some three tons of uranium ore. But that gave it the allure of something truly rare. Within two years physicians had learned that the application of radium salts to a tumor would shrink the cancer. “Radium therapy” was introduced into hospitals shortly after the turn of the twentieth century. Physicians reported healing effects that seemed miraculous, especially compared to the therapies of old. The newspapers compared radium’s magic to the golden healthful rays of the sun. Everyone wanted to stand in what seemed a naturally healing light.  Radium use spread quickly into consumer products. There were bottles of radium water (guaranteed to make the drinker sparkle with energy), radium soda, radium candy, radium-laced facial creams (to rejuvenate the skin), radium-sprinkled face powder (in four clearly labeled tints: white, natural, tan, and African), soaps and pain-relieving liniments and lotions. Researches discovered that the European hot springs, famed for their healing powers, contained radon, a gas greated by the decay of radium, released as water dissolved in minerals in the rocks that lay beneath the springs. Perhaps, scientists suggested, the health effects of the mineral hot springs came from radioactive elements in the ground. Spas in upstate New York rushed to compete by dropping uranium ores into their swimming pools. A New Jersey company grew rich selling hundreds of thousands of bottles of Radithor: Certified Radioactive Water as a tonic that guaranteed new vigor and energy. Radiant health, the ads proclaimed—beautiful skin, endless vigor, and eternal health—ingesting radium seemed the next best thing to drinking sunlight.

Curie
Tumblr media
The Radium Witch, with a Radiant Nature. The witch is known to constantly glowing, literally. To the point it’s far too dangerous to be close to the witch because of the radiation it emits from it’s body. In fact, everything in the labyrinth is highly radioactive. The witch is known to be extremely intelligent and is always doing experiments in order to improve the things around it’s labyrinth. The witch can be a bit old-fashioned and is a bit uptight when it comes to certain things. Though, it constantly wants to find ways to improve its science. It’s minions, Pierre, act as the witch’s assistant. They help the witch with it’s experts and constantly make sure that the items around the labyrinth have a healthy glow of radiation.

Art Fight Attack: LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!  Kinda out of nowhere, I was really struck by the image of @riftclaw‘s Curie the Radiant and V enjoying a good Stomp Around, directly inspired by “Where the Wild Things Are”, so I decided to go for it. ^_^

Happy birthday, Marie Curie! Born Maria Salomea Skłodowska in Poland on November 7, 1867, she discovered two new chemical elements, was awarded two Nobel Prizes, and (last but not least!) inspired our most recent album, Our Lady of Radium.

Gonna fill out this questionaire for Curie's upcoming appearance in the @sonic-oc-showdown round starting this weekend! Let me introduce you to my beloved flying radioactive puppy!
✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?
Curie is named after the radioactive measurement of the curie, and also Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Their name is actually older than this particular iteration of the character, who was originally not a sonic oc and was named Curie as an intentional callback to the name of a character in Homestuck. "The Radiant" is because he glows in the dark, playing on a rarer sonic character naming convention (Fang the Sniper/Hunter).
🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
Developmentally and physically, Curie would be roughly in their early to mid twenties. However, they were born in 1923, making them about 86 in their AU's current day (2009). They spent most of their life locked in isolation in a military facility, though, and were only freed and started living life outside a box again in 1995.
🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?
He's part of a 5 person polycule including my other characters Agent VX, Caprice Amaranth, David Valke and Luka Mosaic. He has different relationships with all of them, having fallen for V, Caprice and Valke while adapting to modern life, and becoming involved with Luka later after they bonded over being giant nerds.
🍕 - What is their favorite food?
Candy, pretty much any type. Crunchy sweets like rock are their favourite.
💼 - What do they do for a living?
Curie runs a nuclear power plant and waste disposal business, which is largely a front for making sure he has enough to eat-- because as much as he enjoys candy, his body will only properly digest radioactive materials. Since his business is really only there to keep him fed, he sells power at a loss-- which means it's very affordable and in high demand, giving him the ability to expand his power network and thus bring in more nuclear waste to eat later. He's not in it to make money, though-- outside of his personal R&D efforts, he sinks practically all his profits into charity. His main reactor base and the surrounding city of Bloodwood Grove was built on the Painted-Rocks clan's abandoned land, specifically to help camouflage the habitats of the last living mobosaur herds that the clan once hunted and protected.
🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?
They collect plushies, radioactive knick knacks like uranium glass and watches with radium paint, and Godzilla merchandise, and they love to tinker with technology and study space.
🎯 -What do they do best?
Nuclear physics, probably-- it's something that started out of necessity (because of his unusual diet) but he developed an aptitude for it and genuinely enjoys working on nuclear powered inventions. It's not unusual for him to build experimental reactors for fun.
🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
They love to watch Godzilla movies and play around with unusual tech. They hate being confined to boring meeting rooms or made to deal with unnecessary beauracracy.
❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?
The first time he rolled in the grass after he was freed from the facility he was imprisoned in. The grass wasn't even on Earth/Mobius, but it was grass, and he'd all but forgotten it existed after being locked away for 60+ years.
✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?
They don't currently have many-- a lot of their most traumatic experiences will occur in the future, such as when the forces/zombot plot occurs. That's not fun for anyone, but especially Curie.
🧊 - Is their current design the first one?
The very first proto-Curie was actually just a heavily au Jade Harley-- who had changed so drastically I "filed off the serial numbers" and made into their own character. His first ever original design was human! He still ate nuclear waste, though. This current iteration of Curie was developed when I was initially setting up my Amalgam au, drawing more on his initial prototype's personality and history than Cain Einley, the other character I split off the same prototype several years back.
🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?
Related to the question above, they spawned from a particularly ridiculous homestuck fanfic that never made it past a disjointed first draft back in the early 10s. If i sink enough development into a canon character that they stop looking/sounding like that character, I split them off, give them a fursona and a new name, and carry on writing my new oc, and Curie is just another in a long line of similar characters who occupy my brainspace.
🌂 - What genre do they belong in?
Science fiction for sure.
💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?
They are agender with a side of transmasc*, and use he or they pronouns interchangeably. Curie is also demisexual-- they need to form an emotional bond with someone before they can develop romantic feelings for them. *My friends and I often refer to them as "none gender with left boy"
🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?
He had four, but none of them are alive today, and he doesn't remember them anymore. :(
🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?
They don't remember either of their parents, either, but considering that the guy who made them what they are now was their father, at least one of those relationships was pretty unhealthy.
🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?
On a purely aesthetic level the fact that he glows in the dark will always delight me. It's such a fun trait to play with!
✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?
I draw them decently often, although a lot of what I draw in general doesn't get published. I write about them a lot more, but nothing that's in a state to be shared. They're the secondary main character of Amalgam's whole main storyline!
💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?
He does die in the future. Not for a good long while-- mobians in his universe live for 150 years on average, and his peculiar metabolism means he's going to outlive that many times over, but eventually he will power down and fade away. He's got a lot to accomplish on the way there though!
💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?
Claustrophobia for sure.
🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?
In the future he'll be taking the rookie's place in Amalgam's version of the forces/zombot plot (they are combined!), and will be facing up against their version of Infinite. His radioactive blood means he can't get infected by the zombot virus, which puts him in a position of being the best person for a lot of problem solving in this particular plotline.
🎓 - How long have you had the OC?
As "Curie the Radiant", since early 2019. Here's the first ever picture I posted of them, before their personality had finished solidifying!
Tumblr media
🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?
In 2019 I was 29! Although as I said earlier, he has roots in fanfiction/original fiction from before Amalgam became my primary worldbuild, and his prototype form would date to when I was about 23.

ROUND 1
Tumblr media
Faye belongs to @addysfandomdump
Curie belongs to @riftclaw
Find out more about them below!
Faye Moreau:
(content warning for some darker elements!)
Faye Moreau is a weird little 8-year-old foxgirl with a strong interest in dolls and taxidermy. She often combines both at once, making dolls out of organic material such as skin, bones, and fur (acquired through meal scraps and shed fur). She is the latest addition to the Moreaus, a high-class family of wealthy foxes with a terrible secret. She is oblivious to the unethical and depraved acts of sadism her family, particularly her mother, commit to any unfortunate victims that trespass on their property, raised to think of them as normal. She has never been outside the borders of her estate, her only connection to the outside world being Tails Doll, who she found tattered and dirty in the garden. She took it in and patched it up. She cherishes it dearly.
Curie the Radiant:
Curie is an escaped experiment, the result of an attempt to create a lifeform that could survive an irradiated wasteland. His entire body has been rewired to feed on nuclear energy, with the only byproduct of the process being the light he emits from his luminescent fur and skin. After spending nearly 80 years in containment, he was rescued and freed and helped to re-integrate into society. Now he spends much of his time tinkering, running a nuclear power and waste disposal company at a loss in order to keep himself fed. Despite having a fairly limited diet due to his specific nutritional needs, he loves to eat candy for fun. Curie also loves to collect plushies and Godzilla merchandise, because Godzilla is just like him!
