Animal companions are capable of so much. They can help players reach a destination, locate objectives, defeat enemies, and in some cases, crack a hilarious joke....

There is something about Fallout 4 that draws people in. Sure, visit any of the fan forums dedicated to the series and you’ll immediately notice an overabundance of posts claiming Fallout: New Vegas is the dominant game.
