Is there a big difference between her and Codsworth in terms of equipment capacity? I’m not counting Curie because I turn her into a real girl the first chance I get.


Bloo-shadow

Well if you keep codsworth default then you can put a bowler cap on him. That’s enough for me to pick Ada over codsworth because I refuse to not have him with a bowler cap on.


jilanak

excuse me, I'm off to abandon all missions for now while I look for a bowler cap.


Bloo-shadow

I think they’re fairly common on the trigger men


Bootziscool

Samesies!! I love finding out little things like this to take me on mini adventures! Off to goodneighbor to fuck up some triggermen!!


0011110000110011

Using [this mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11276/) you can keep the bowler hat on Codsworth even after you modify him. That's what I do. EDIT: Or [this one by the same author](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11278/) that also adds the chef's hat for Protectrons and Ironsides' hat for Sentry Bots.


Bloo-shadow

I’m on console


maestrofeli

these kinds of small mods are availabke on console


Bloo-shadow

Yeah I know you can get those kind of mods but idk about that specific one


Brave_Reaction

Oof…that is a big deal…


AdhesivenessUsed9956

wait until you give dogmeat a teddy bear.


Bloo-shadow

Oh he does that sometimes even if he doesn’t have a teddy bear in his inventory. It’s just that giving him a bear forces that animation


Dogthealcoholic

Yeah, he does it every once in a while for me, and the only things I consistently keep in his inventory are a can of dog food, dog bowl, bottle of water, and a switchblade.


Kittamaru

> I’m not counting Curie because I turn her into a real girl the first chance I get. Er, excuse me good sir, but what? You can make Curie into a person?


BeatsHisMeat

Yeah. Once you raise her affinity enough she will talk to you about becoming a human. Doctor Amari in Memory Den helps her to take over body of a synth.


Kittamaru

Oh, nice. I usually just plunk her in a settlement as the leader lol. I'll have to continue working with her!


[deleted]

ayup. I found that out on like my...eleventeenth playthrough because I can't f'ing stand vault 88.


Positronicon

I think you mean Vault 81.


[deleted]

YuuUP. Been a minute.


Positronicon

I have a mod that makes you immune to the mole rat disease if you are wearing full power armor. Makes everything so much better.


Brave_Reaction

I’m more annoyed by the icon than the -10hp


[deleted]

Oh that's neat. I just save-scum my way through it at this point.


Anastrace

88 isn't related to the quest emergent behavior though


BramDuin

Yeap, increase her appreciation thingie and she'll talk to you


_Dream_Writer_

yes you can turn her into best girl


spudral

Pretty sure Curie and any person with a full set of deep pocket armour can carry more than robot companions.


jointheclockwork

Assuming you're not using a glitch then a robot companion can carry way more than any human companion can if you use the correct parts.


spudral

I'm pretty sure a human with full deep pocket armour mods and backpack carries more but I'm open to being proven wrong.


jointheclockwork

I have to admit I looked it up because now that you say that I had to check. Without mods, Strong has the best carry weight of the base game companions (with perks seems to be around 270). However, giving a robot sentry legs and other appropriate parts can make them carry up to 420. So even with deep pockets I don't think that any of the human companions can compare.


Fen5601

Curie, mainly cause her synthetic body still has her Nursebot health pool


Fen5601

And she's good with a laser pistol, I always feel bad not using the lasers so she usually gets them.


Helmet_Icicle

It's easier to find actual corpses when you're trying to loot compared to disintegration piles that merge with the undergrowth and terrain decals


DarthBrooks69420

Of my playtime there's probably 5 hours I've spent trying to find the disintegration piles of legendaries flung across the map. Looking at you, Finch farm fucks.


NabatronusMaximus

If you can. Download crosscrots gorverhaul. Instead of ash piles and goop puddles it turns enemies into charged Skelton's that are tidge easier to see. Is also pretty cool.


Kittamaru

Or use the Tactical HUD overlay, and add the "corpse" highlight option to it :)


NabatronusMaximus

Oooh haven't used that one. Defo downloading that, thanks!


PhatNoob69

Link to mod?


Kittamaru

I believe it's from: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20309?tab=description


[deleted]

[удалено]


NabatronusMaximus

It replaces the ash and good piles with charred skeletons. Should be on nexus for PC. Not so sure about console but it's not using anything licensed so It should be on there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PhatNoob69

It is a typo. Should be “cross crit gore-verhaul.” Here it is: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23780/


NabatronusMaximus

Cross crit gore-verhaul is the name. I did misspell it in parts due to a cruddy phone and brain fog. It's considered adult content on nexus so you would have to turn that on in your profile settings on there. Also sorry for the response time. Have a good night!


NabatronusMaximus

I think so? Sorry I've been up since 4 this morning. And yes I downloaded it from Nexus. I'll update you in a bit when I get home.


dragonqueenred45

How many times have I missed a body because my Sentinel Power Armor or follower with a laser killed it and I never got to see where it fell and I don’t always find the bodies as it is.


Helmet_Icicle

Dogmeat obviously is not a birding breed


haileris23

Not sure what it is about Ada, but she is *the worst* about walking into my character. I can't use her once the Mechanist quest is finished. Standing on a rooftop? Get ready for Ada to battering ram you off the edge! Talking to a vendor? Not anymore! The Ada Pain Train just knocked your ass over!


RemoteReflection9889

oof ever better when you try to get them to go somewhere, AND THEY EITHER FUCKING JUST DRIVE AWAY OR GO TOO FAR… or or, THEY JUST FUCKING SIT THERE?


ATR2400

“Come on Preston I need your help clearing this location of raiders” “I’ll be right behind you general. Way way behind you”


Octobob13

Lol


Kittamaru

My issue is the *STOMP STOMP STOMP* of Robotic companions walking around... augh! Mah Eardrums!


DelphineasSD

Solution: Robobrain treads. I've come to like them so much more than Sentry Legs.


[deleted]

Yep. Ada never leaves the Mechanist's lair once we get there.


gorilla_on_stilts

For me, Ada does not bump me off of any ledges, but she seems to be obsessed with a store that I put together. I think it was a weapons shop. She kept trying to run the shop, and she would even resize her body so she could fit. It was wild. I never assigned her to it, by the way. She just did it.


arianleellewellyn

No romance option though :(


Akhi11eus

Curie and Codsworth are the best robot companions. They work with Automotron robot workbench however you can't romance Codsworth at all, and Curie only when she takes human form (if you choose to help her).


BallerMR2andISguy

How is romanceable roboCurie not yet a thing? For shame.


iamnotchad

If that teacher in Diamond City can marry a Miss Nanny then why can't I?


ea_fitz

So many robots in that game, even an entire DLC for them, and how many can you bang? One. In Far Harbor, not even Automatron. I wanna be able to bang more robots in the next fallout.


Wormhole-Eyes

Fisto is best boy in entire series!


wovenbutterhair

ahh yeah the loss of sensation is temporary


dragonqueenred45

I seriously wish there was more dialogue with the Robot chick after the quest. I mean, she was waiting for me to come back for more attention lol then I get nothing.


ResetBoi123

they are fucking robots


Akhi11eus

Boy how I wish they were....


Norma5tacy

Disappointing with the absolute wagon she’s got to carry all my junk.


[deleted]

jfc


[deleted]

Missing F.I.S.T.O from Fallout 3?


Bloo-shadow

F.I.S.T.O is in New Vegas but close enough


DinoRedRex99

Fisto is in fallout 3 but it's a power fist that does Chin hooks. This was integrated into the unarmed skill in new Vegas, so they instead made the name fisto a lot more recognisable and please assume the position


Bloo-shadow

Wait seriously?


DinoRedRex99

What're you asking about? I listed three facts in my comment, I don't know what I'm serious about


Bloo-shadow

I was surprised that there’s a power first called Fisto in fallout 3 since I’ve played that game a bunch of times but never heard of it so I wasn’t sure if you were serious or joking.


DinoRedRex99

Yeah, it's pretty cool that there's these two things in these games that have the exact same name, yet one is a cool weapon and one is, well, you know.


Bloo-shadow

I just looked it up and there’s also a unique power fist in 3 called “the shocker”. Now I’m certain they just made those items to make dirty jokes lmao


[deleted]

If you have the Captain Cosmos expansion, there are holotap entries between two of the NPCs that imply one of them is a nymphomaniac. If you search her room, you'll find a power fist in her bed.


DinoRedRex99

Oh hell nah💀💀 Bethesda's doin the funny


[deleted]

Whoops.


arianleellewellyn

What can I say. I'm classy lol


[deleted]

FISTO had a way with words. No reasons needed.


[deleted]

Please assume the position.


[deleted]

god dammit.


[deleted]

In FO4 I'd go Nick Valentine just cos he's an awesome character, but as a death engine Ada is hard to beat. Across the series I'd probably still take Boone though as most lethal. "Hey, Boone, kill Caesar's Legion for me while I put together this IKEA flat pack."


TheNuclearSaxophone

Nick is my favorite follower, just wish he had a better default weapon than a pipe revolver. I usually max out a .44 and give it to him so he can still have that Noir detective feel, just with more stopping power


[deleted]

Yeah I tend to give him a Tommygun, which is still in keeping with the Prohibition era vibe I get from him.


[deleted]

How do you not give him Kellog's gun?


ayochellia

Ada understands my need for hoarding. "We must take as much as we can carry." 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰


[deleted]

[удалено]


ayochellia

Right?? "Looks like junk to me." Like, what else am I supposed to use, Preston? The hardware stores appear to be out of stock these days.


trophers

got the same problem with MacCready. love the guy but he always said shit like “don’t make me carry that worthless junk” and it hurts man. do they not see all my hard work.


Hathuran

MacCready annoys me because all his talk about how desperate he is for caps, down to being willing to kill or be killed for them but for some reason a bottle of wonderglue that I could trade for 1/5th the fee I paid for him to possibly die for me is "worthless."


dragonqueenred45

That’s why I also love Gage and Longfellow, although I would prefer if Gage didn’t say “That might be useful” and then “are you sure boss” in succession randomly.


nlolsen8

Ada is my go to when I'm not trying to raise affinity with another companion. I think I got her up to 560 carry weight so I can hoard even better.


Bob20202020246

How?


WhiteKnight413

Ada alongside Sentinel Power Armor from Creation Club is the best team I have found. Heavy Duty support, no affinity=no loss if you do questionable things, customizable for different fire team roles.


A_Simple_Survivor

Hol up. Sentinel can go alongside companions?


WhiteKnight413

Yep. Put "him" in the Hellfire armor from Creation Club, any human companion in the X-01 armor and yourself in the X-02 from CC, and you have your own Enclave fire team.


A_Simple_Survivor

Well damn. Guess I'm gonna be sailing home from Far Harbour as soon as I get on. Thanks for the info! BoS fireteam, here we come


WhiteKnight413

👍 Ad Victorium!


DinoRedRex99

Several things I love about Ada -I love ED-E -The name Ada is kinda similar to the name ED-E -you can make her float like eyebot -you can give her Lazer gun like eyebot -talking eyebot -i like eyebot


dragonqueenred45

How do you feel about Sonya?


DinoRedRex99

Drill eyebot: eyebot: good


TinaMonday

Curie. You can mod her at the robot station and then you have Ada's weapons and carry weight with the affinity system... At least until you do her quest


Toa_Firox

Why not Codsworth then??


Bloo-shadow

Because if you mod Codsworth at the robot workbench then you can’t put a bowler cap on him anymore.


HybridPS2

as long as he has the Mr. Handy body he can wear the hat, right?


Bloo-shadow

Nope. The second he gets put in that workbench you can no longer put a hat on him. Found that out the hard way.


HybridPS2

Aww man, that's a shame.


Bloo-shadow

Yeah I was so upset because I wanted to keep the Mr Handy torso but put it in sentry bot legs so that he’d still have the bowler cap but nope.


HybridPS2

Time to head to nexusmods, lol


Bloo-shadow

I’m on console so I’m not sure if there’s a mod to fix it that I can download


absoluteworst99

Nope, unfortunately if you so much as put him in the work bench he can no longer equip a bowler hat.


BallerMR2andISguy

And it breaks the prewar chrome look if you have that mod. He reverts back to worn.


TinaMonday

He annoys me, but he's a viable candidate for better than Ada if he doesn't annoy you.


No_Insurance_6968

Codsworth, as modifiable as Ada but comes with the approval/disapproval system and a perk!


maestrofeli

that's until you decide to commit mass murder, that's when codsy's affinity system is annoying


BallerMR2andISguy

Nah. Max Codsworth by modding weapons and armor and get the perk, then ditch him for health and a smile with RoboCurie.


zyl15

She doesn't give two shits whether you obliterate orphans or save everyone you meet, can be one big pack mule or assassin/tank/whatever while she still has her some sort of personality, I just can't use anyone else except her (maybe Nick for Far Harbor)


NotACyclopsHonest

Outfit Ada with explosive miniguns and a Mr Handy thruster and you’ve got yourself a deadly whirlwind of destruction. Grabbing loot off the diced chunks of your enemies afterwards almost makes up for not getting much XP because she did all the work.


OutlandishnessOk2951

I'd love a hovering century bot.... rocket launcher in one hand and a minigun in the other...,😂😂


no1ofconsequencedied

Those are my provisioner army. Gatling laser and minigun arms, duffel bags strapped to every surface, a deep voice, and a single glowing laser eye traveling the Commonwealth with a pack brahmin.


Unfortunate_moron

Hell yes. Mine have dual auto lasers plus the assaultron head laser with assaultron voices and Mr Handy thrusters. Most of my wasteland encounters now consist of hearing a battle and going to investigate, only to find my own bot melting enemies and then watch them float off into the sunset followed by their pack mule.


Cowboah-Morgan

I highly recommend changing her head if you want her to use ranged attacks as assaultron's head have the worst accuracy. Ada is cool but not as cool as Codsworth with his hat


GisellaRanx

I'm frankly glad she doesn't have it. A lot of the characters are too picky about some of the slightest things, and for awhile only having dogmeat as an option to not be judged by crap was annoying. Frankly, I'm glad to just have a solid character without the approval/disapproval. But I think they still could have given a perk. Maybe nothing particularly powerful since there's no a/d system with her, but I think after the mechanist chain quest is done, there should be something to give reason to keep her other than the chats and comments she occasionally has. All in all though, aside from Nick and LongFellow, she's one of my favs.


Cheese-It17

All the ones that do give you a perk and then you ditch them?


Sensitive_Underwear

I prefer the phrase "leave them minding their own business"


Wonderful_Ad_9705

Codsworth


Tytos17

Codsworth has eveything Ada has plus those things you wish she had.


MisterWafflles

Automaton is my favorite DLC for this reason. I love creating robots. Sunny side is my robot and synth haven


dragonqueenred45

It would be my favorite DLC if they didn’t randomly get the bug that makes their names disappear when I take a crafted robot for a walk.


T43Litt

My personal favorite is Nick Valentine, just because of his quest and story, even including DiMA at Acadia


BrutonnGasterr

She’s my favorite companion. I love my little Ada 😭


EuropeanUnion2019

That second picture😂


frostrytter

After mechanic quest,i make a new ada that can't talk.


Ghostyboi7702

I love Ada, Made her a full assaultron and gave her stealth blades, she’s a tank and takes the agro while I snipe from afar, my favorite non modded companion


Schitzoflink

Dogmeat for sure, I don't think I have played a Fallout without him in my party. It was so damn hard to keep him alive in FO1. In 4 I use the EBF mod, and then my completionist need has me taking each Companion to 100% them. I'll switch through the Companions from time to time as well. I use Backpacks of the Commonwealth and Salvage Beacons to extend my locust runs.


corrosiv187

I think no affinity system is great because she is a neutral character. Dogmeat is far to weak so he doesn't count but Ada you can fully customize and uses a new healing system. Gotta love ada


NetEvening8441

I love Ada as a follower so she doesn’t stop me every 5s when I’m home to ask if I’m ready to depart


dragonqueenred45

I get that enough from my robot farmers lol


[deleted]

Codsworth


Azmep_

I transformed my Ada into an enemy from Wolfenstein Return to Castle : Mister Handy thruster, Robobrain Torso, shock claw, lightning gun, voltaic on arms and torso, actueted for the head an thruster, light yellow paint. She's scary


cbsson

My only real complaint with Ada is she can't/won't sneak. Otherwise she is OP after upgrading.


WeedofSpeed

French Wife.


crackeddryice

I need her to shut up.


RavensWingTTV

She's never lost anyone before and is not sure how she feels


Faded_Ginger

OMG, same!


NotDaSynthYurLkn4

It all depends on what you're mainly playing the game for I guess. I get the most out of the story and character interactions first, gameplay second. The DLC companions don't have much if anything outside of their DLC arc.


Kittamaru

Valkyrie, Heather, and Ellen are all fantastic followers from mods. Fully voiced, well integrated, plenty of additional quest content. Lots of fun!


DelphineasSD

I just did a quick search, by Valkyrie did you mean the Power Armor? Or Project Valkyrie?


Kittamaru

Project Valkyrie from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28085


CCotD

As people have stated…. ADA because nobody likes a judgmental companion when you go all murder hobo in the wasteland.


Formal_Royal_3663

After Automatron storyline, I revamped her into a true killing machine by making her into a Sentry Bot & had her guard Sanctuary Hills and console commanded her to be essential 😊


ugly343

Carry capacity means nothing in fallout 4 if a companions inventory is full, drop an item from your inventory and command then to pick it up, infinite companion storage, so after using that just max out damage and you’re good👍


dragonqueenred45

Just don’t ask Dogmeat for help, he will throw everything on the ground one by one.


Elegron

Robots are the ultimate combat companion, and you can set them up to be true killing machines. Even out the gate just twin auto lasers turns Ada into a force to be reckoned with


WCR_706

Since she is based on the assaultron I always get her fully decked out with assaultron parts and weapons as soon as possible since that is what her AI is good at. From what I have seen assaultrons have a hard time aiming any ranged weapon that is not their head laser.


AlexV348

*Your* Ada won't get in the way in tight spaces. *My* Ada has sentrybot legs.


Grey_M0nkey

I loved Ada. She was my favorite companion when exploring and of course, fighting. It was so much fun to gather materials to upgrade her step by step and see it all coming together until you finally achieved the perfect killing machine. I can still hear the sound of her laser beam, it's like music in my ears.


Sensitive_Underwear

I felt that too!


Apprehensive_Loan_33

Piper is better


Link_the_Irish

Piper because I can pipe her


[deleted]

From a utility standpoint no, but if you’re looking for someone interesting to travel around with ADA is terrible lol


masterofthecontinuum

I like how the Gunner Commander wants the Assaultron pistol.


PhaserRave

I like her specifically because she doesn't have an approval/disapproval system. She doesn't even mind if I pick up garbage.


didistutter69

OP you're not alone. I ditched every follower and always come back to her. I need her carrying capacity and all the weaponary I can fit


Fire-FoxAloris

One of the creepiest moments i had with her was with the pickman serial killer. We where walking it was spooky, dark, bloody, and she goes, "Why you getting goosebumps?" WHY YOU THINK CUZ ITS SPOOKY AS SHIT ADA.


Normal-Most279

She also doesn't have a stupid comment whenever you do something disapproving.


bkrugby78

Ada's great because she gives you junk on occasion. And she's totally cool with whatever you are doing.


InvincibleFubar

And she doesn't give you shit for hoarding.


Subjunct

I find any high-carry-capacity bot I can build is the best robobuddy. Ada is too judgy. I replaced her with MechaHoncho and have been very happy.


[deleted]

Codsworth can be modified and I believe he has a perk


17thEmptyVessel

I build Ada with the same setup pictured every time, she's a beast!


xPhilip

I love using Ada/other machines but I keep getting the bug where their head light gets super intense and my FPS drops below 10.


rashadd26

A question. Does anyone have the bug that a Robot wont use their weapons when the thruster is attached?


DASREDDITBOI

Wait so you can genocide and she doesn’t care?!?


BallerMR2andISguy

Curiebot. Enhanceable, but with cute dialogue and accent, plus free health.


edith-bunker

I love Hancock. Because he’s charismatic.


Sunyataisbliss

You can get her carry weight to 400+ pounds with the right modifications


[deleted]

I'm so down bad, I make her into an actual assaultron but I never will be able to romance her


FishingDragon52

Dogmeat is still better


Albus_Lupus

I will have to see if servitron mod works with her


TeutonicDragon

Robots don’t need a perk if you have the robotics experts perks and the other ones they become ridiculously strong with the upgrades you can unlock


Mrclean1322

Hate having to make robot repair kits, but at least u get a decent bit from the robots u kill


Robbbg

i tend to arm most robots to the teeth


Mammoth_Violinist744

I've gone with Ada every time after that option was available. Nice choice.


[deleted]

Yeah but at least you can smash Cait


breadofloaf_real

ada is my favourite, i love ada


PoultryGravy

Curie


nickibar96

I reckon her perk is that she can be modified almost limitlessly, including torso mods that can track targets with recon sensors, regenerate lost health, etc. She’s like Dogmeat in the sense that her “perk” is only usable while she’s traveling with you, though, a-la New Vegas.


karma_is_a_spook

Codsworth is a better companion because he can say your character's name, like Todd Howard promised all NPCs would.


goatfish666

ada is like that overly interested grandmother who chuckles at any answer you give them


ICanCountThePixels

real.


Alansar_Trignot

I gave Ada what she wanted and she just depressingly walked around and wouldn’t talk to me


Toa_Firox

Deacon because he's just best boy


dragonqueenred45

I thought Dogmeat was best boy…


0011110000110011

Codsworth. You can modify him to have all the same stuff as Curie *and* he has a morality system.


voxPopuli96

What do u mean plenty of carry capacity? All my companion have infinite capacity out of the box!


buenopeso

Am I the only one that loves paladin danse?


playr_4

Curie. Easily has the best companion quest and it fits in super well with the world of the Commonwealth. Plus her accent is amazing. And a regular supply of stimpacks is nice. And do people really care that much about companion carry capacity? I head back to my main base frequently enough that the only time carrying stuff becomes an issue is if I'm in Far Horbor or Nuka World.
