Top 10 Fallout 3 Characters

In the post-apocalyptic landscape of Washington D.C., also known as the Capital Wasteland, a rich tapestry of characters weaves an immersive narrative that's as unforgettable as it is haunting. So, let's delve a little deeper into the populace of this nuclear-ravaged world, because, you know, these aren't just NPCs filling the space; they are individuals with distinct personalities and stories that really come to life throughout the game, profoundly shaping our experiences. They contribute significantly to the memorable moments and emotional resonance that have etched Fallout 3 deep in the annals of gaming history.

We have a remarkable range of personalities across the Capital Wasteland - some gruff, others affable, many mysterious, and a few absolutely unpredictable. You might recognize certain individuals from their unique quirks, captivating backstories, or their impactful role in your journey through the Wasteland. From the loyal companions who stand by you in your direst moments, to the compelling antagonists who provide the conflict that propels the narrative forward, every character is worth knowing.

As you navigate through the bombed-out ruins, abandoned facilities, and dangerous wilderness of this brave new world, you'll meet characters that embody the grim reality of life after nuclear fallout. You'll come across survivors striving to uphold a semblance of civility amid chaos, opportunists looking to exploit the situation, and sometimes, just the broken ones trying to piece their lives back together. Each of them brings a different flavor to the gameplay, making the Wasteland a little less desolate, and a lot more interesting.

The Top Ten

1 The Lone Wanderer

True Badass! Messiah of the Wasteland! Victor over the Defeated! This teenager emerged from the confines of the Vault to becoming a Warlord over the Super Mutants and the ENCLAVE! This guy has changed history in Fallout!

Look at the DLC's and the side quests. The lone wanderer accomplished so much in so little time. He literally took over an alien spaceship with the help of a samurai, a cowboy, an anchorage war veteran, a wastelander, and little girl.

So badass, took out over 20 enclave soldiers in one location when attacking the memorial.

2 James (Dad)

He's voiced by Liam Neeson, how awesome is that?

Perfect dad, but almost a savior of the humanity poting the wasteland.

3 Fawkes

He kills everything and doesn't die. Once you get Fawkes, you've won. He is overpowered to the point that he basically breaks the game, but I'm not complaining!

He is a super mutant good guy and he can kill every thing. Also half the people on this list are not even able to join you to in the fight for justis.

4 Sydney

5 Butch DeLoria

The only problem is that you need neutral karma to recruit him. Otherwise, Tunnel snakes rules!

Butch is a great companion, and he deserves more votes!

6 Liberty Prime

Serving up justice, Capitalist style. So you better watch out you commie bastard because Prime is about to lay down the law, the Democratic way.

I love that liberty prime is just spouting out anti communist propaganda

7 Three Dog

Three Dog out I love three dog he is much better than Mr. New Vegas I hate this guy even mor than president john henry eden.

8 Dogmeat

9 Bryan Wilks

10 Bittercup

Although the 'vanilla' Bittercup had some great over-the-top goth dialogue and could be your temporary companion, she had little else. With two mods however, one to make her look goth (black clothes and fishnets) and the other to allow her to be your permanent companion, she was one of the most memorable gaming companions ever. You'd be walking along and she would out of the blue say stuff like 'This is lame' or start spouting goth poetry. Great stuff.

Her Goth dialogue is hilarious, and the companion and goth attire mods made her for me the most memorable character in this already quite memorable game.

The Contenders

11 Harold the Tree

Even though he became a mutant and his body started to get worse and worse due to the tree growing on him, he tried to do good with his long life.

He epic I mean come on he's the fist ghoul he helped the vault dweller and the chosen one and he's traveled all of the wasts but he's long tale ends with the lone wander.P. S he's got a tree on he's head how's that not awesome.

12 Moira Brown
