All Fallout 3 Companions VS All Fallout New Vegas Companions | Fallout NPC Battles

[@darkarpatron]

I love how some of the fights played out, Veronica and Paladin Cross kept changing the distance to each other, blocking and fighting like trained professionals. Butch shot like a kid out of a Vault, missing enough shots to damage the car behind Arcade who shot with military precision and even went for cover by the closer car. Lily and Fawkes went toe-to-toe just smashing each other with everything they had, like Super Mutants are thought of as doing. Rex getting up each time like a good boy, having the towel thrown for him because the fight was too brutal otherwise, both such good boys. Hardened caravaner Cass living up to her father's toughness and keeping her distance while killing the near mindless Clover. ED-E, brave little eyebot, stood firm 'til the end against a true military robot in the Sergeant. Raul, experienced gunslinger, making quick work of the dangerous Charon. Even blowing him up in a bit of tactical brilliance. Jericho and Boone being surprisingly even, the old raider getting in a good win at first because of the assault rifle through the broken cover of the house, but with a straight line, Boone took the victory. And of course, the final fight with their sheer might, 3's comps won. Can't say I'm too happy about that, but it's what I expected.

[@mappingshaman5280]

the fallout 3 companions have the defensive advantage. You have a woman in power armour, a super mutant with ungodly health and a Mr gutsy versus a bunch of old timers wearing shirts.

[@ElDrHouse2010]

Armor is almost useless in FO3 though but this was done with New Vegas DR (Damage Resistance) it's a mod, tale of two wastelands. Otherwise FO3 team would have lost except for the armorless powerhouses like Fawkes. Power Armor is the worst in FO3 but its pretty good in F:NV. Railey Rangers armor is better than Power Armor in FO3 or anything that gives Luck for more crit chance.

[@thatskeletordude5271]

​@@ElDrHouse2010for me it's the exact opposite, PA felt powerful in FO3 while in New Vegas it was basically glorified combat armor.

[@ElDrHouse2010]

@@thatskeletordude5271 then idk wtf you smoking because that is mathematically untrue. Maybe because you took the Toughness perk then the Cyborg perk then set the difficulty to very easy maybe. 80% is the defense cap in FO3. in NV idk I have to read on it but armor is way more useful in NV there is even tests of a lvl 1 courier fighting Power Armor NPCs, the BoS in NV give you a harder fight than in FO3 due to how DR works compared to the % based defense of FO3.

[@DarthWall275]

"Old timers" ? 😐 Zoomer confirmed The companions in NV are like 35 on average, in Fallout 3, Jericho is 65(!), and Cross is in at least her late 40s, but most likely her 50's, maybe even her early 60's, so technically Fallout 3 has older human companions (if you count a cyborg as human)

[@mp9705]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ElDrHouse2010the math for how the damage and defenses work in FO3 and FNV is actually pretty easy to work out due to how DR and DT works. Damage Resistance is percentage based reduction with the cap being 85% reduction in FO3 and FNV (for the few sources that give it in FNV), while Damage Threshold is a straight subtraction from incoming damage but all attacks deal a minimum of 20% of their original damage. So when working with smaller numbers and multi hit/fast firing weapons DT is generally better, whilst DR is better for higher damage per shot weapons and technically better at the highest tiers of protection due to its maximum protection cap being 85% unlike DT’s 80%.

[@Alex_FRD]

I see you had to remove Fawke's gatling laser, otherwise it would be an unfair fight.

[@unit2394]

I’ve always wondered when you do these; are the stats and strengths of different weapons and gear comparable between Fallout 3 and New Vegas? To me it seemed like lots of things in New Vegas were much stronger than in Fallout 3, but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me and the bigger damage numbers and price tags.

[@mp9705]

From what I can tell comparing stuff on the wiki, the New Vegas weapons seem to be marginally better than FO3 weapons. But DR is a better defensive stat than DT once you get to late game gear since it’s percentage based reduction rather than flat reduction. So New Vegas weapons deal more but get countered by better defenses, while FO3 weapons outside of DLC and explosives get shut out by New Vegas armor due to lower base damage. In general, both in game stat wise and lore wise I’d say the Courier mid diffs the Lone Survivor. In-game because the Courier has a higher level, better and more perks, and access to a wide variety of perks and weapons that can straight up remove someone from a fight (And Stay Back, Super Slam, Compliance Regulator, the Sonic Emitters, etc). Lore-wise because the Courier is treated like a force of nature in the Mojave and able to single-handedly swing the ending for any faction or themselves. Fawkes, Dogmeat, and RL-3 are all intentionally broken in game though; they all have like 15,000 HP while the highest HP in New Vegas is 3500 with the X-42 Roboscorpion I believe.
