Nick Valentine...

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 9:24 am

Is it just me or is this guy's character really awesome?

I started using Dogmeat, as I thought yes, a dog for my journey. Then Dogmeat actually started annoying me after a while. So, I went with Nick. I just love having him along. He is starting to like me now and he keeps telling me stories about his past etc...I love how he joins in on conversations and his lines are a laugh sometimes.

The thing is, the more I have Nick with me. The more I keep thinking, "Man, this guy needs his own show!" Like a noir detective show. I would watch that!

Anyone else appreciate Nick as a companion?

Oh yeah. It isn't just you, he is really awesome.

Though I do hope that he will be made into a romanceable character in the future for the ladies and dudes who are into dudes.

Don't care about that myself but I know that many people do.

Me too, easily my favourite companion. I love how he reacts to the 'Mysterious Stranger' - really hope that that's explored further at some point, if not in the game then in DLC!

Best companion to have in Fallout 4, like Kharjo was in Skyrim.

Oh god I want to romance him so much. The romance between the sole survivior and him is literally a set up from those old noir detective novels

One of my favs also. I love his reaction when the Mysterious stranger shows up in vats.

I haven't finished his story line yet, but I haven't even tried any other companions since I met him. I wish he'd get over the Constitution being lodged in a building though. He repeats that line constantly when you are near/in/on it.

I really hope you guys get your wish fulfilled.

Because you deserve it.

I didn't know that he reacts to the Mysterious Stranger, that is even more awesome!

I also like his banter with Danse. They don't seem to get along. He also recognises Deezer in Covenant. He is such a great character.

I actually got his companion mission finished yesterday. It was a pretty interesting one although I found the reward to be a bit lackluster, but this game is about the story anyway and I certainly enjoyed helping him close a 200 year old case.

His backstory was mildly interesting, and I like his design and personality. Definitely one of the better characters Beth has made.

Love how they fit a noir detective character into Fallout. Nick's awesome.

I am looking forward to triggering the opening to this quest. We both walk around looking like noir detectives in the wasteland :) I wear the silver shroud outfit. I am actually thinking of writing up short stories with Nick as the main character/detective embarking upon his cases in the wasteland.

My only criticism with Nick is that you couldn't give him the silver shroud suit and hat; he would have ROCKED that outfit.

What I find off-putting about Nick is that he doesn't care about the railroad at all.

Nick is kind of a poster boy for the view that the institute is right and synths are just vending machines on legs.

He also hacks medium level terminals for you.

I love Cait. I hated that she was a Junkie but after she grew to love me she was really fun and sweet in conversation. She begged me to take her to Vault 95 to cure her additions and after that we had lovers embrace ;)
