Playing FO3 again. For the first time ever, I am trying to finish that survival book and I found it funny that there is a dead robot on the toilet on the ground floor of RobCo.

I always like to keep Veronica or Raul around for some good ol' fashioned smartassery. Arcade is good for that too, actually. I also love how it's possible to bypass the normal Speech or Intelligence check and just seduce him into following you, if your character is male, that is.
In general, I love how every single follower has an interesting story and isn't just some dude that helps you kill things and has terrible pathfinding.
In that vein, can anyone point me to a game where the followers don't suck at following? Because I have yet to find one.

Holy thread bump Batman!
So I finally got around to playing these feckin' games. Fallout 3 and N00d Vegas, that is.
I have had a lot of thoughts over the 85-ish hours I've dropped on these games the past couple of weeks so I'll try and drop in everything that occurred.
I feel like Fallout 3 was the better game, but then that might be because New Vegas's ending soured me on it.
Fallout 3 is amazing. I really, really loved it. A few of the subquests made me angry, including some glitches. The Republic Of Dave glitch was fucking annoying. I hate leaving dangling quests. Ended up having no choice but to kill them all.
Was pissed off at the Tenpenny Tower quest. I go up to the guy, find a peaceful solution, the ghouls get let in and fucking kill everyone anyway. Thanks guys, God forbid anyone be prejudiced about you guys being monsters or anything.
I prefer the companion system in Fallout 3. I don't like that in Vegas they just get knocked out instead of dying. What's that about? Surely the point is that they're finite. Instead I had Boone with me forever, and Rex, and honestly it just took most of the challenge out of the game. Soon as I had power armour there were no challenges.
They're both fantastic games. But the ending of New Vegas pissed me off.
I spent the entire game doing this balancing act of factions. Making sure the Kings protected Freeside without clashing with the NCR, ignoring the Khans, fellating the Brotherhood to get me some power armour, murdering every last Legion member I see... and then at the end, I still had to murder a half dozen NCR troopers in cold blood (which I really hated) and then when they beat the Legion, I was all set to hand everything over to the NCR... and discovered there was no way for me to do.
...So I spend the entire game currying favour with the NCR because I though they'd be a stable leadership for Vegas so I can put them into power, and then NOPE FUCK THAT WASTED FORTY HOURS OF YOUR LIFE because Vegas HAS to be independent of any rule, even though I kinda think the NCR was the best thing for it.

They can die in Hardcore mode. Hardcore mode also means you have to worry about food, water, ammo weight, and (most annoying) carrying around a crapton of doctor's bags because stimpaks don't heal crippled limbs. I would have loved the ability to turn off the hardcore mode features at your own discretion.
It was only last year that I did a complete Hardcore playthrough because, as the name may suggest, they are difficult. ESPECIALLY the Dead Money DLC because

Companions are for suckers. I played both NV and Fallout 3 without companions, they just kept getting in my way. Also New Vegas with Hardcore Mode turned on is way more fun than without.
Personally I liked NV better because playing as a sniper is just hilarious. At some point you become strong enough to kill pretty much anything with just one shot, provided they don't discover you.
Thrillho:
Mine never got in the way, if anything they just made me OP. And given that they can't die it didn't matter if I shot them.
