I mean, they are amazing!

No-bark, with his crazy talking about chupacobras and cave rat martial arts makes me laugh every time.

And Primm slims relaxed cowboy voice. I especially love when he clears his throat when asked about The bison Steve!

Two great characters in new Vegas in my opinion.

Who are your favorites?

"Uh...We're documenting your comments" XD

Hah. Amusing if true. Heimskr one was even better.

Fisto's a romp.

"How about a yee-haw for law and order in the fine town of Error: Token not found"

The robots in this game have some of the funniest quotes.

I don't like either of them.
I love Dead Sea for his dedication, loyalty and tactical knowledge.
Look at the amount of graves at Forlorn Hope.
Look at the amount of heads on spikes around Nelson.
Look at the (original amount of) dying NCtRoopers by the minefield.

I love him for everything.
And his voice.... My god his voice is excellent. I mean, other characters have that same voice actor but it fits Dead Sea so much more.


And then I like Follow's Chalk, his flawed knowledge of the outside world makes for great discussion.
And he is quite smart too, why do we carry all these bottlecaps around? They "do" jangle like crazy!
One of the most perceptive and practical characters in the game.

But if not using DLC characters then: Raul.
He uses good weapons, doesn't fiddle about with them like others do, he puts on whatever I want him to use, he looks great in just about everything, hell, he is one of the few characters that looks fantastic in the new Metal Armor design.
His voice, backstory, personality, comments and dialogue is all hilarious and emotional.
Hell, I can barely have him leave the group because of his pathetic dialogue. I just can't help it. He's so lonely... It feels wrong to kick him out.
That's why I always use the terminal by the Gun Runners to get him off my back, can't handle his dialogue.

My top 2 characters hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1)The Courier

2) The lonesome drifter (the guy by a billboard with guitar looking for dad) I chose him just because he's awesome

Number 2 FTW!

Vulpes Inculta

and

Easy Pete

I liked Vuplpes, shame I had to blow his head off. Yes Man is obviously a hero and I also love the King, Veronica and God and Dean Domino from DM.

In the Vanilla: Veronica and Mr. House.
Veronica offers quite a new side to the Brotherhood and their way of life, and I can appreciate her outlook on the BoS. I also enjoyed her quest; it was quite shocking to see what the Brotherhood will do to keep Veronica.
Mr. House, while I may not agree with his ideals, is an interesting character who's so mysterious I was extremely excited to finally be meeting him on my first play-through.

In the DLC: Follows-chalk and Christine Royce. Awesome characters.

Ulysses, for his depth of thought and for his dedication to finding the nation that will truly be worthy of the New World -- while destroying all others of course.

Trudy, the bartender in Goodsprings is also a great character imo. She fits perfectly in her small town, and she's one of the only interesting people in Goodsprings -- I mean Pete probably had some dynamite explode too close to him and Ringo's just a [censored] for attracting the powder gangers, then Mitchell isn't exactly a fountain of personality. Trudy also explains a lot early on, and her detached, isolated, small-town perspective on major events in the Mojave was interesting early on in the game since it was the only perspective you have until you actually meet the major factions yourself. Trudy, for me at least, was also a motivator as to why the indy Vegas/House route was best for the Mojave. She leads a happy, self-sustaining, peaceful life in which she contributes to her community -- sounds pretty good, right? Now imagine the Legion or NCR occupying the Mojave and the town of Goodsprings. Wouldn't be to good for Trudy, would it? I know she's not important to the grand scheme of things, but in the post apocalyptic world why not allow peaceful, small, self-sustaining communities like Goodsprings exist and thrive? Perhaps the Legion would do that, after some time, but it would still be different. Perhaps they would recruit Trudy as a breeder, or move her to some other location. The NCR would tax the hell out of Goodsprings, possibly to the point where it can no longer exist. Just speculation of course, but it could happen given what we know about the NCR and the Legion.

Sunny Smiles was also great imo, just because she was obviously created to make fun of Fallout 3. Moira Brown was as annoying as hell and would have really fit with the name "Sunny Smiles," and then you meet Sunny in New Vegas and she's actually practical, quiet, and dull. It kind of set up that the NPCs in New Vegas weren't going to be the annoying, "Ok it's time to skip this dialogue" NPCs that were common in Fallout 3.

No-Bark and Fantastic are hillarious.... some of the funniest npc's in recent memory.

New Vegas's character writing was some of the best i've seen in a long, long time. Ulysses was fantastic, and the voice acting was exceptional. Dean Domino was my favorite, however. He is initially extremely skepticle of the player and his/her motives, and if you give him any reason to believe that you're going after the tresure for your own, it'll come back to bite you. However, if you pick the correct dialouge with him, he's a rewarding character, with quite the story to tell. He's also quite witty; which makes his dialouge fun to listen to.

FISTO! Who wouldnt want a six robot in a post apocaliptic bar?
Ullyses is interesting
Veronica is funny
Raul is Awesome
Dean Domino is charismatic
Christhyne was the best companion in new vegas

Christine was a companion for like 5 minutes, and completely mute until she serves her use.

I find Primm Slim a bit annoying really. His monologue about Vikki and Vance starts to grate after a while. It doesn't quite have the necessary comic timing - probably looked funnier written down.

Fantastic is fantastic: "They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard." Ricky from Honest Hearts cracks me up with his compulsive lying too.

Well, yeah but she had a great perk! And well maybe not the best companion but to me shes the one who i liked to hang with the most.

In a totally non-biased note my favorite character is Orion Moreno.

I never saw the fascination with No-Bark. He's amusing, but that's about it.

And I dislike Primm Slim's voice; the whole robot cowboy thing just creeps me out. Which is why I don't like Victor, either.

There are so many fantastic characters in New Vegas, I like so many I couldn't name them all. But in terms of depth of character and backstory, all the companions are the best. In particular Cass and Veronica.

I vote for....

The Courier. This is perhaps -the- best protagonist I've ever seen for an RPG. I REALLY like the balance they had of making him a blank slate and yet he's not. It sort of adds this element of, even if you're roleplaying your own character, through all the dialog you get throughout the game you get curious about who the true Courier Six is, so the game provides you with all the tools neccesary to roleplay while still giving you a story about a protagonist, basically.

and....

Mr. House. He's just got this air about him that gets you involved with the game. He's the first leader you meet, and for good reason. He's charismatic, intelligent and has a lot to say and do. He gets the player involved in the game without going way over your head, like Caesar does for many players. He's also a mysterious guy as there's less info about him than any of the other factions, so you hear Freeside and "the little guy" complain, but you really have to delve to find out anything. I think the game would actually not feel AS good if House wasn't there to greet you and say his side of the story when you reach Vegas.

LOL... I had a buddie who was playin N.V. on my recommendation... one day he gets online and jumps in the xbl party chat and yells "Man F*** you guys !!! ".... and my other friend and I are like " uhh wut? ".... " You diddnt tell me I was gonna get [censored] by a robot " LOL for some unknown reason he chose to assume the position lol... he's a stoner....

No-Bark is cool, he isn't a madman at all.

Thats awesome! He probably did it and got real fed up but then saw the IS THAT ALL YOU GOT ROBOT?! opinion and change his speech to somethinh like "pfft of course im playing a sixoholic"
