The Ultimate Fallout New Vegas Character Tier List 

For Honest Hearts' extremely dull quests and the disappointment how you couldn't retake and explore New Canaan, Joshua as a whole carried this DLC.

8:23 Boone actually IS the person who killed his wife. He wasnt searching for anyone but himserl. He had a choice between seeing his wife and child go into slavery and sniping them and saving them years of misery. As a result, his hatred of the legion has given him the skills of aimbot ruining the days of any legionaire within a mile radius.

Just wanted to say it was Dean Domino who swapped Christine’s vocal cords in an effort to get her to sound like Verra so she could get into the vault.

Even though they're missing for some reason, we all know Fisto is S tier

Vulpes Inculta in WHO? Wild.

Vulpes Inculta massacre entire Nipton, former Ulysses tribe Twisted Hairs, and it's one of the best spies for Caesar Legion. You need to do few more runs were you side with Legion faction to find out more about the fantastic lore of Fallout New Vegas. Ps. Your choices in this rainking are interesting.

8:10 That's Colonel Cassandra Moore, in charge of the Dam. She is the main quest giver for the NCR ending, I don't know how you could mistake her for such a minor character.

Ulysses speaks slowly for a reason: English is his second language. When he’s pausing or slowing down he’s actually thinking about what words he needs to use next to convey his message.

Randall Clark would have been good for this tier list. Of course no dialogue, but his story is legendary

I gotta say, I’m surprised Mr. House didn’t make it into S tier. He’s confident, pragmatic, incredibly intelligent, and has a solid plan for the advancement of humanity. Kind of reminds me of Tony Stark. I tend to like the House ending the most, in large part just due to the sheer force of his personality. Also, I feel like Vulpes Inculta deserves at least to make it into D tier, if not C. Beyond being your first introduction to the Legion’s brutality in most playthroughs, he’s also the one who sends you to go see Caesar after you exit the Lucky 38.

Hanlon doesn't lie to win, he literally tries to lose the war quickly and efficiently to minimise the human cost specialy on the rangers side Boone is far more than an edgelord. He's torn by the way Bitter Spring affected him and turn his anger against the legion after what happen to his wife. All the marked quest is about helping him to take stock about his situation. But if you push him to violence, at the end, you find out that Bitter Spring turned him into a psychopath who just love killing. Dean is very interesting because he really looks like a sucker (and he's) but once you manage to build a good relationship with him you realise that he can be kinda sweet and actually does care about people who matters to him. This fact is accentuated on his end if you manage to save him (that's the hardest part of the dlc) when you find that he regrets having done that to Vera. Raul is the best companion, S tier, his back story, his voice lines, his voice, his personality, trully the best Love Ulysses, he's my favorite character. Funny thing is that, he should have been the main character, the main protagonist in this war. And he's the main reason why in love the dlc. Just because you learn so much about the one who trapped you (the real one, or at least the 1st one) how much your fate and his are bound. And I love how his story ended if you spared him. I really feel thoses dlc and the "persuit" of Ulysses like the true main quest of the game.

How could you miss the best character of all time. The most sinister, the most cruel, the most EVIL. THE TOASTER!!!!

Am I the only one who enjoys all of Caesars dialogue? Easily an S tier for me. It's awesome hearing him explain his backstory and how he formed the legion. Definitely my favorite faction leader besides Mr House. I mean I also feed Boone to the white gloves and sell arcade to Caesar in every playthrough so maybe I'm just deranged

Anyone who puts Caesar in B tier is a profligate. Come on, he's one of the most interesting characters to talk to, and while it is very hard to agree with him, he does have a point. By the way, the Caesar has marked you for death, and the Legion obeys. Ready yourself for battle!

How could Chief Hanlon only get C tier? His dialogue especially in his office is so good, to the point I'd argue it might be strong enough to change someone's mind on NCR and change allegiance. Nah dawg he's straight S tier for being an excellent mini boss of sorts, in terms of how he challenges NCR beliefs. Wish he was more prominent or even gotten hidden ending or something

I will never ever treat Christine poorly. She's the only character in FNV I can't bring myself to harm.

Ulysses and Joshua are character-arc beasts I really wanted to be able to recruit them as companions not just in the DLCs but the base game too they could have a ton of quests and explore their lore even more

No way you put the legend billy knight in the lowest tier

14:48 however, he does have the best line in the entire game (imho) quote: I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. that just cracks me up every time.

There is one character who is clearly the best, up in S+++ tier alone. DOCTOR PRINCIPAL BOROUS!

actually for Christine dean shoved her into the auto-doc not to remove but to fuck with her vocal chords so she sound like Vera cause that's how he was planning to get into the vault

Ganon, House, Ullyses, Joshua, and Benny are my top picks, some of the best writing in this game.

S: House & Caesar because they are literally the plot of the game A: important characters with a lot of backstory & companions B: Cool NPCs the rest Reddit Tier: Arcade Ganon

Strange, I literally looked up a New Vegas character tier list on youtube yesterday and couldn't find anything then this pops up. For the most part, I agree with your list with some small exceptions. For me Mr. House and Veronica are cast iron S tier, two of my very favourite characters in the game. Glad you put Father Elijah in S tier as well, one of my favourite antagonists in any game. I would have Gloria higher, I found her really interesting and would have liked more of her. Also, Vulpes in who? is crazy, I found him to be very memorable. Great video dude.

I don’t think waking cloud should be above vulpis, he was your introduction to the legion and how brutally they conducted themselves, add to that he was Caesars most trusted infiltrator

8:10 I believe that is Colonel Moore from Hoover Dam not Mags 10:25 Ambassador Crocker not Bruce Isaac

Fun fact: even though it tragically was cut, you would’ve been able to convince Ulysses to join you in the Mojave as a companion. He’s also 1 of only 2 main villains to have perfect 10s in all special stats. - the other is Frank Horrigan.

The best things about Arcade is his funny redditor attitude and giving you ability to play out your enclave fantasy.

The Vulpes placement was criminal! Haha good video!

I put House in S-tier cause he’s the best choice for ruling the Mojave cause he doesn’t want to micromanage or over tax people like the ncr or the legion, he mainly wants to have to have the casinos fund his future projects and seeing that he was able to reduce the nuclear destruction prewar is cool, probably why there’s barely any radiation in the game.

I like your videos. I appreciate how your intros are short and you jump right into the content. I like Graham, Benny, Boone, Raul, and Vuples the most although they are probably very common answers. Hell even Yes Man and Victor are great characters. And Elijah. Damn this game has great characters.

i agree with most of these but you did NOT just put Vulpes into the lowest tier. he’s not S sure but he’s among the most influential characters in the game lore wise. edit: arcade should’ve been S tier, but that’s my opinion.

Veronica better be S tier.

4:30 it’s that once comedian on the strip

Ceaser back story and talking with ceaser makes him S.

-The Gomorra quest isnt weak or bad, it's a good quest. But the bosses of the casino arent that charismatic, and the fun comes from having to solve the problems keeping people in place. The quest has a cool meaning/story to it. - Cesar is talked about as this bigger than life character. The man to unify the East, insane bloodthirsty tyrant that people follow blindly. His backstory is actually really cool, how he came to power and how power corrupted a good man, turning him into the biggest warlord in the East. And the reson he may come across as weak is because he was made that way, for the anticlimatic realization that he isnt strong or the embodiment of the Legion's ideals, he is a dying weak old man, the heart of the legion. As opposed to the Legate who is the actual embodyment of the Legion and a good representation of "You face the Legion" kind of challenge (and the reason you fight Him and not Cesar). - Another good things about Julia from the followers are the negotiations you have with her, where she's not just saying yes to everything and instead thinks about the impact of things on her comunity. -It pains me to not say Yes man is S tier with how great of a character choice he is for a "backup" ending in case you mess the other ones up. His sarcastic dialogue is awesome, his premise is cool, the way it evolves once the war is over... I'd put Jason, Chalk boy and cloud in C and move Fantastico to B. Honest hearts companions are horrible, their story comes from a quest and is basically "i want to explore the world" and "Daniel lied to me" which are horrible stories without further development, like they set them up with an introduction or the cover, and forgot to tell you the story.

Dean put Cristine in the auto doc to change her voice

I have an idea for a video: a tier list of all the enemies based on how dangerious they are including humanoids and creatures? ( or maybe you could separate them into 2 video )

Caesar is one of the most interesting characters. he does have a large backstory. He was a part of followers which sounds pretty ironic for what he is now. He read a lot of books and deducted that his way of bringing the civilisation is the best. It's not the best but it is certainly smart and effective. He is a very smart man and he is irreplaceable head of the Legion. You need to talk to him mmore.

I can't believe you missed out one of my favourite character. At the Legions fort, there's a guy doing push up's. He's memorable because him keeping fit is not going to help when I'm just about to snipe him. lol

He did Vulpes Inculta dirty...

Rex was actually the legions dog first theres alot to his back story and he has alot of different outcomes i feel like hes been underrated here bro

I’m happy to see that Boone and Christine were in S tier among all the other followers. Those two really caught me the most!

I honestly think Doc Mitchell should be S tier since there wouldn't be a game without him (or Victor). You'd have died right outside of Goodsprings or on the operating table in the hands of a less capable doctor.

Great video! I definitely would have put Mr. House and the think tank in S Tier though. Mr. House is fascinating in how debatable it is if he is good or evil. He epitomizes the benfits and drawbacks of the ambitious genius capitalist, arrogant and shady, and yet he was right about the war coming and did legitimately save so much of the Mojave.

7:20 Elijah didn't remove Christine's vocal cords, Dean did. And he didn't even remove them, he surgically modified her cords so that she had Vera's voice in order to open Sierra Madre with it (Dean had a "schematic" of Vera's vocal cords, which was originally made in case Vera, a famous singer, damaged her cords in one way or another) She's also not rogue. She's a member of Cicle of Steel, which is basically an internal affairs organ for BoS.

I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and i must say i like your videos and i enjoy them. I agree with pretty much every placing you did in this video exeot for the first character you put into who category. How can you not remember him ahah! He is the comedian that tells those lame jokes in the strip inside the second area right next to the door if i remember correctly. Not that he would be a a or b tier but he sure was memorable for me. Also the third guy in the who category is Deputy beagle from primm.

i would have put raul up in S tier as well, if you give him any decent lever action gun he will just run through enemies with ease. but now you have to do a companion perk tier list, i'd love to see your opinions on some of them.

there's a way to get doc mitchell to talk to you about his wife, who died after they left vault 21 bc her immune sytem wasn't ready for the outside world, and so he never left good springs bc that's where he buried her

I think you were a little harsh on Hanlon. He's the only leader of the NCR who actually cares about soldiers. (not including the lower tier folks, like Hsu) His plan is, if reports show that the NCR are outnumbered by the other factions in the Mojave, and that they are doing poorly, then Oliver and Kimball will withdraw troops, and the innocent soldiers who don't know they're getting into a death sentence will be saved. He's lost hope in his years, it's why he can be pacified if you've killed Caesar.

19:57 His quest where he asks you to Bring the Rose of Sharon Cassidy back to the silver rush only for it to be Cass and if you do bring her he immediately shoots her head off is pretty cool imo He’s not much other than that quest but it could get him into C or D tier for me

I feel strongly that Veronica and Boone should be on the same tier. Both come from major factions, have locations on the map where they have unique dialogue, have back stories about their lovers, and are significant forces as team members. I'd argue Veronica being able to influence changes to her faction might even put her as more impactful to the story overall. But, I know these are all based on our own perspectives..

Tooting my own horn but I rewatch this dudes videos every night to watch/ sleep, amount of views must be in the thousands

>Arcade >likeable lmfao what? He's such a Redditor I always enslave him or offer him up for Beyond the Beef

9:30 He's not trapped in there in traditional sense, rather, he refuses to let go of it. He lives there, by choice untill he has the collar, in hopes of someday robbing the long dead Sinclair

I would place Doc at least at A, because when you return from Strip and talk about his backstory it leaves me no choice but to kill House. I always sided with House, but after learning how he ruined Doc's life, it is one sin I can never look past. I know Mitchell would likely forgive him for Mojave's sake, but I am not as strong as Doc is.

Might be because of New Vegas Day, where fans meet up in Goodsprings IRL, but everyone in Goodsprings (except Chet) is S tier in my mind. The folks of Goodsprings are the only true, morally pure, and good people in the Mojave, and I love'em for it. Doc heals you up for free, no questions asked, Sunny gives you a rifle free of charge, Trudy stands her ground to a escaped convict for a total stranger and Easy Pete is always there to let you know when someone is bad trouble.

I really enjoy these videos, keep ‘em going!

Who? List: 4:29 Billy Knight, the comedian in the Strip you can hire in Talent Pool for the Tops. 20:00 Jean-Baptiste can kill Cass! That’s at least D tier. 26:12 That’s Phillip Lem, who wants you to destroy the sulfur under Vault 19 27:45 Samuel Cooke, as mentioned in video and above, with the Vault 19 Powder Gangers 32:20 Vulpes Inculta, main spy for the legion. Led the slaughter of Nipton, gives you the Mark of Caesar after you confront Benny, and has some history with Ulysses and Joshua

Stating that Dean isnt smart is a bold declaration imho. He is very very smart.

I remember accidentally shooting Follows-Chalk the first time because i thought he was a White Leg. Probably because i was still in adrenaline mode after the ambush.

ede should be s tier, all his hardships he overcame , and his upgraded mojove version stomps, best compainion by far

S+ Tier: Toaster

Mr House and Caesar must be an S tier they are incredibly interesting characters

Raul should be S tier. His story alone is worthy of it.

i like that dog is better than half of tier list xD

the first "who" guy is the one telling jokes just outside the casinos. many people dislike and kill him, but i like some jokes at least.

I love No-Bark. He's great. "We got a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, cause now they see the predicament we're in." I can't stand Ulysses. Quite honestly, I think he's an overgrown child. Yes, he is strong, intelligent and sort of charismatic, but everything he does in Lonesome Road is an elaborate justification for why everything that happens there, including the nukes he plans to launch is all the Courier's fault.

Actually it was dean domino who did that to Christine not Elijah I'm like 99% sure because the voice of Vera Keyes was needed to access the Sierra Madre vault

Offended on behalf of Chris Haversam. Haversam won't mind when his hair starts falling out after a few years!

Christine- Dean Domino is actually the one who trapped her in the Autodoc and modified her vocal chords. Boone - Boone already knew his wife is dead because he pulled the trigger. He was ultimately forced to kill his wife because he was unable to rescue her and didn’t want her to suffer as a Legion slave. Dean Domino - He knew that Vera’s voice is the key to the vault under the Sierra Madre, which is why he modified Christine’s vocal chords. He knows more about the Sierra Madre than he’s actually letting on. He’s been working on entering the vault since before the bombs fell.

Mortimer is the kind of waiter, when you ask "What's on the menu?", he will respond with: "I don't know. What are you bringing to the table?".

I dissagree. How you imagined Ceasar to be verses how he actually is was jarring. I walked out of that tent having much more respect for the man than I did going in which is hard to do.

Surely you're out of new vegas tier lists at this point What's next, sand texture tier list? Never stop making these :D

Boone is the only companion in fnv that I never tire of. Even after finishing his story, he’s always there to cover me with his god-like aiming abilities. I’ll turn around, and he’d be pressed right up against me with a 'dead inside' expression, and he just looks at you and says nothing. He rarely talks, but you feel his presence, and that alone is enough company for me. I enjoy the silent and quiet 'best mates' kind of relationship you have with him.

Isn't ED-E one of the best companions? So it detects any threat or possible threat from very far away, with the Lonsome Road extras, it can literally repair your weapon by 25% (35% if you pass a speech check) It can give you ammunition (fc, mfc, fuel, satchel charge which also has a speech check to increase the quantities), you can use it to create things and ammunition, it bonuses the damage when using beam weapons and also v.a.t.s hit chance, it gives you greater resistance to damage and also has its own little music, it is literally the companion with the greatest amount of benefits and that benefits the player to the greatest extent, regardless of their decisions. AND can get an upgrade by completing his Quest and have quite the history behind

Are you gonna make a New Vegas companion tier list video?

Here is a complete breakdown of everything you said that is wrong or stupid: 1. It's Kimball, not Kamball. 2. First "Who?" is Billy Knight, the comedian you recruit for the Tops. 3. Caesar is portrayed as highly intelligent, proven by how he built the Legion from nothing by leading a small and weak tribe to glory in a hostile environment with many bigger tribes around. 4. Hanlon is a very complex character whose tragic story spells out all of the NCR's mistakes in their attempted annexation of the Mojave. 5. Christine got an S-Tier placement despite you misremembering most of her story. She is on a black op to find Elijah and Dean Domino was the one to do surgery on her for his own agenda. You also didn't touch on her connection to Veronica at all. 6. Chris Haversam is a central part of the Repconn quest and has a lot of dialogue, especially if you convince him that he's not a ghoul and then convince him to help Jason Bright anyway and move to Novac afterwards. 7. The NCR lady you mistook for Mags from Camp Gold is actually Colonel Moore, the quest giver for most of the NCR's storyline. 8. Boone killed his wife. 9. Hanlon is not responsible for the Bitter Springs massacre and likely wasn't sabotaging intel 3 years ago. 10. Dean Domino was not trapped at the Sierra Madre and could have left at any time prior to getting collared. He stayed because of his obsession with the Sierra Madre and also the uncertainty of the world outside. 11. The man you mistook for Bruce Isaac is Crocker from the NCR embassy on the strip, the quest giver for the first quests of the NCR's storyline. 12. The backstory of Doc Mitchell is connected to Vault 21. 13. This one is more subjective, but calling Dog/God the weakest out of the Dead Money cast is so wrong I had to include it. God especially is a very well-written and menacing character, Dog has some nice callbacks to the OG games and the two of them have more varied endings than any of the other Dead Money cast. 14. The paladin is called Hardin, Lorenzo is a knight that is involved in the Brotherhood's questline. Hardin's personality is supposed to be that of a more militant and direct leader as opposed to McNamara's hesitant approach. 15. The Van Graffs have a ton of backstory and lore that you can find out about from Gloria. They are also pretty menacing, with both of them being called psychopaths by the other Freeside residents. I think they fulfill their role as minor antagonists pretty well. Also, you do have to talk with Jean-Baptiste for the latter part of their questline involving Cass. 16. Joshua Graham's story is only about redemption if you want it to be. Throughout the dlc, he comes very close to going back to his warlord mentality, using his religious beliefs as a shield to hide behind. If you let him execute Salt-Upon-Wounds, it is insinuated that he becomes more depraved than he ever was as Legate. 17. The Far Beyond is on earth, not in space. 18. You did actually remember Jean-Baptiste's name. Since you remember his name and position, he should not be in the "Who?" tier. 19. "John Nash" is called Johnson Nash. 20. Lily is not similar to Rex and her story serves as a nice little allegory for Alzheimer. 21. Nobark talks about invisible chupacabras, not sasquatches. 22. Pacer is not stated to covet the King's position. 23. Papa Khan and Salt-Upon-Wounds are not very similar, since Papa Khan is the leader of a tribe of mostly drug dealers and can be reasoned with, while Salt-Upon-Wounds is a pretty irredeemable raider warlord. 24. Second "Who?" is Lem, one of the leaders of the escaped convicts in Vault 19. 25. Cass is the leader of her late caravan, not a bounty hunter. 26. Lonesome Road's endings mainly involve talking down or killing Ulysses and stopping or not stopping either one of the nukes. I am unsure how you can lose to or tie with Ulysses. 27. Veronica never leaves the Brotherhood before the events of the game. She is actively fulfilling her role as a supply runner and scout at Trading Post 188 when you meet her. 28. Vulpes Inculta is Caesar's most trusted Fumentarii and a very memorable character due to his mask and the impression he leaves on you at Nipton. You put him in "Who?" despite remembering him and despite him being one of the most noteworthy Legion characters. 29. Yes-Man does think for himself, evident by the way he shows disapproval for certain choices. His programming restricts him from poperly voicing his disapproval or disobeying you.

the guy who wants to go to the moon with the gouls had an awsome story i thought. i felt so bad for him

If Obsidian had more time, the Legion would be more fleshed out and i think all of the legion characters would be higher up

"Watch out the invisible chupacabras" No-bark says, but no one listens at No-bark :(

Well my personal S tier character is MR. RADical. The guy who sacrificed his life for science and all human beigns.

Boone killed his own wife as they were taking her and could do nothing about it, only shoot her from afar to spare her the Legion treatment.

Muggy is S tier

there are SO many character, you were always going to miss loads. Love the video though!

Not putting Julie into S-tier AND getting her name wrong? That’s a paddlin’

Was not a fan of Ulysses whatsoever myself, just seemed to be a confusing character. Random courier that’s been everywhere you’re going somehow, just makes no sense and he is annoying lol. But you’ll have that on them big jobs.

Awesome discussion. I'd move Vulpes Inculta up to C tier. He & his goons are your intro to the Legion in Nipton. He tracks the player down on the Strip and hands over Caesar's Mark. Probably no higher than C, but deserves to be higher than Who.

My man really put Robert Edwin motherfucking House into A tier

Ceaser and Marcus in B is a crime

OWB is best DLC, Think Tank and Mobius are S tier for me, as well as The Sink as a whole, best Player Home ever. Cass however i cannot stand, she's so much of a goody good that if my karma is even somewhat negative, she'll threaten to walk. it's like "bitch, we just killed the Van Graffs and the old hag at Crimson Caravan for what they did to your Caravan, but you're gonna walk because i'm a klepto? fuck you!"

Are you gonna do weapon and what not from mod like the frontier and new California?

Hard disagree with your take on Caesar. He's not *just* trying to be a tyrant. He's literally a philosopher who studied ancient Rome and came to the conclusion that a society like that would be the perfect kind of building block for society after a nuclear apocalypse. He's very well written. A-tier at least

I understand that this tierlist is subjective but you're missing a lot of detail that makes characters great and special. Many of them should be a tier higher.

Dean is the one that put Christina in the autodoc to change her vocal cords, not Elijah

Meme character tier: Fisto, Oliver Swanick, Pvt Kowalski, Malcolm Holmes, Difficult Pete

I'm glad your making fnv content it's such a good story and always nostalgic and deserving of lots of love

Nothing you said about Caesar is really wrong, but as much of an asshole as he is, I do find him to be at least a little charismatic. It’s gotta be the voice actor. I believe his name is John Doman and he was in a show called The Wire, among numerous other credits.

You actually did it
