Piper is a reporter for her own paper called Publick Occurrences working from Diamond City. He's a synthetic with very little human emotion. If you decide to side yourself with the Institute, X6-88 becomes available to you as a companion later on in the game. As a mercenary and once a Gunner, you'll find at the Goodneighbor where you can hire him for a couple of caps. For anyone looking for a companion with similarly questionable ethics and principles, MacCready is ideal. You'll meet him in Concord, where he'll ask you to help him and his band of what remains of the Minutemen. If you value kindness above all, Preston is your man. However, she's an incredibly powerful and skilled companion, able to hold her own in a fight with a shotgun. Cait might not have her life completely together, with drug addiction plaguing her. The first companion you meet in the game is Dogmeat, a friendly dog that might not be able to do that much in combat but is more useful than you'd imagine. In Diamond City, the main quest will lead you on a hunt to find and rescue Nick Valentine, a detective that turns out to be an old synth prototype with his own free will. He might look like any other Super Mutant waiting to bash your skull in, but he's completely loyal to you once you recruit him at Trinity Tower. A man from the Brotherhood of Steel and a capable fighter always seen in his power armor, Paladin Danse tops this list among the best fighters you can have as your companion. Handy form she isn't much use in combat, but once you transfer her inside a synthetic body, she becomes the strongest companion in the game with the sturdiest health pools and damage outputs.

When you first meet Curie, she doesn't look anything like a human being.
