Thank you so much. Those are some incredibly kind words and I’ll try to live up to them.

Fucking amazing! I will recommend to everyone I know.

[@kriseightyfive5854]

Andreja is S+ for me. Mostly when I run into a facility to shotgun a captain in the face, she's outside rounding up the mobs. Sarah just got stuck everywhere, as well as Vasco. Having Barrett on the ship controls is actual gold, and I use Vasco for perimeter defense while landed (And yes he was actually needed in that way a couple of times). Jin and Heller are on my outposts. These 6 companions are S tier imo.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

I can see that myself. I do like Andreja a lot too. The biggest issue I find is how many companions have issues with the actions you take as well as the stealth bugs I’ve mentioned with any and all companions.

[@kriseightyfive5854]

@@ThatAnxiousGamer Yeah speaking about bugs; I just lost about 60-80hrs on the Andreja questline. The quest bugged out, which made it so I can not interact with other characters until the quest is finished (which it can't). More so, I can not continue the main story line because someone NEEDS to tag along on a mission, which they can't because Andreja is stuck to me. The only 2 options atm are: Either load back into a save to before getting the particular quest, which means losing A LOT! Or use console commands to force finish the quest, which I can't do because I'm on Xbox. A ticket to Bethesda support didn't help also.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

@@kriseightyfive5854 holy crap dude I’m so sorry. I’ve learn this the hard way wayyyy back in morrowwind. I literally save like every 5 minutes now in any Bethesda game and make 50 backup saves because of just this. Think I had like 25+ hour save go corrupt and the pain is so real I can still feel it. So so sorry again….

@@ThatAnxiousGamer Yeah I'm no stranger to Bethesda games (I do love them), so I also save with every action taken. But going back to a save to right before picking up the particular quest, means basically starting over at this point.

[@unicyclepeon]

One more advantage to the Adoring Fan, that is a practical benefit, is that he does not react negatively to anything you do. He is all-in on any criminal rampages or "bad" decisions you may do. Vasco is the only other one like this. So thats one other little cool thing about the Adoring Fan.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

Agree totally. I view this as more of an issue companion wise though then a huge perk of adoring fan. But yeah Vasco I really love. And adoring fan is pretty cool in my book overall. But I totally get what your saying .

[@codykeener2736]

Adoring fan is slightly better than vasco bc you can equip him with spacesuits to increase carry capacity

I enjoy running my playthrough with Sarah Morgan, I know she's really strict when it comes to morality options but she's the closest thing for me in the game that defines the "boring on the outside, actually great on the inside" kind of character

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

Sarah is a great character and I do like her the lot. Her downsides are exactly what you say, I feel she is very restraining to the player’s agency in the game world and only really works well with a total ‘good’ play-through. I definitely think stat wise she is a beast but overall I can’t love 💕 her, only like her.

[@AtlasRandGaming]

Ya I did her second and she is S+ if you understand how to minmax stealth and give her stealthy veapons

[@skorpion7132]

Agreed, as soon as the mission for speaking with Vladimir came up, I was like... hang on, russian sounding guy might point me towards the companion I've been meaning to track as quickly as I could. Nipped up the two artefacts and made Andreja my companion as soon as possible. Sarah has a good place on my battlecruiser, but I fear she's not gonna see much action outside of that.

[@BeKind1Love]

Andreja honestly surprised me with her backstory and quests and I usually prefer her. She also is one of the few that rarely judges you like Sarah does.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

I totally agree. That’s why I tend to prefer her much over Sarah especially personality wise. I want to feel accepted for my choices not judged constantly.

[@Mazarbull420]

Andreja's story is the best. Also her bonus to EM weapons makes her very valuable against Terramorphs. Dude criminally under evaluated her.

[@choklatemilkman]

She judged me hard when I went on a murder spree while undercover in the crimson fleet quest line and said she was getting off my ship so I kicked her off and grabbed my boo Jesamine Griffin she cheers me on and loves to do bad shit.

For those that want to play the game without your companion judging every little thing you do...Vasco and The Adorning fan are the only 2 that truly don't care what you do. Be good, be evil they'll stay without judgement.

[@cowboy124aa3]

Actually with Andreja, I have to disagree if she has the Cameleon suite on and she has an assassin partical weapon she is the ultimate companion! When stealthing with the Cameleon suite it makes her invisible when not moving around, and if you both have the Cameleon suites u are both hidden.

[@matthewpeters5084]

Same. When it comes to stealth combat, with a silenced weapon at range, she has been great. She might not be stealthy enough for melee sneak attack, but she is great at staying hidden in ranged combat.

[@WhyrenGP]

Aetherionic fusion is probably one of the best early game shipcrew skills, its litterally free extra energy

[@mvhuber]

Amari is really good as a crew companion. He has 2 skills that are helpful on board. In my view he is the 4th best companion for crew, so worth picking up.

[@jakubkolodziejski1723]

I loved andreja's storyline, but her morality can be really frustrating sometimes. It's like looking at a broken compass that just spins around in random directions. Sometimes she will like that you're being assertive and rude, while other times she will dislike it for no reason even when the context of a conversation is very similar. This leads to frustration when you have to start quick saving before every single conversation with anyone because it becomes a reflex due to the amount of times you select a response choice thinking it will be the one Andreja will like, only to see "Andreja dislikes that". Other than that, her storyline and final mission + gift is really great and thought out well.

[@MrYadiy]

I hope the dlc will add more companions with unique pov on how they see the world. The problem here is the 4 mainline companions all have the same pov on situations. They all disagree on using Aceles vs Terrormorphs, they agree on destroying the Lazarus plant & they opposes Ularu as CEO of Ryujin. We have factions which is Constellation, CF, Freestar Ranger, Vanguard, SysDef & Ryujin. Hence, we need more mainline companions (excluding temporary companions) from these factions. In Fallout 4, we have Paladin Danse (Brotherhood of Steel), X688 (Institute), Deacon (Railroad), Hancock (Goodneighbor), McReady, Piper etc..

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

I really hope so too. That would honestly be amazing!

[@elwourmo993]

In my experience sam, sarah and andreja are your go to followers they all have a +3 in relevant combat stats which offer really good automatic/burst fire options (rifle, laser,particle weapons respectivly) and I feel like the AI does best with rapid fire weapons, with semi-auto weapons they shoot very slowly, no matter the firerate. I also noticed that thier combat AI seems to differ a bit , Sam sticks to cover and tends to hang back a bit, Sarah tends to stick very close and (annoyingly) likes to body block for you, Andreja is very agressive, she gets in peoples faces, goes hunting down mobs and tries to flank alot. So I'd say they are very good with the right equipment (it took me WAY to long to figure out you can make them equip space suits). I like to hang back with a big sniper rifle so I like to take either Sam to give me cover with an assault rifle or Andreja with the Va'run pistol to hunt down straglers that huddle in cover. Also Barret is the nr. 1 pick for crew, he's no good in a fight but his repair skill and skill with the best ship weapon type (particle) make him extremly useful to have on bord.

[@jeffreyong1159]

Sarah chills out once she gets to Friend status and warms up a Lot once she gets to love. her married dialogues are great. Get past all the grinding of loot and resource mine outpost stages and you minimize her griping to those weekly runs where you craft everything for xp and then sell it off for credits. She's a sweetheart with a big front to get past.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

Vasco is great! Also Aneutronic Fusion (on the Vasco's skills) is not useless, it's the opposite of useless - it gives you +1 to your reactor power, that you can allocate into whichever ship's system you want. He also boost your shields, so as being a crew member assigned to your ship, he's pretty usefull. Also, i don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but it seems like Vasco doesn't count towards your command limit. Or maybe it's Sarah's Leadership skill that gives +1 to crew command limit, maybe, idk.

My top companions: 1. Sarah: her leadership means you never waste a crew slot on her so even if you just have her for Astrodynamics its great. Combat wise give her a Orion and she can hold her own quite well. I play pretty good so Sarah never yelled at me, and if she ever disliked my actions I wasn't bothered by it. She doesn't kick you out of the group if she sees you pushing for extra reward money. 2. Sam: He is probably the second best crew behind Barrett, more ship storage and one free point in engine systems is amazing. Combat wise he's pretty good, I tend to give all my companions Maelstroms with whitehot rounds so if they hit someone they deal percentage damage, Sam just does it a little better. Sam is chill personality wise but kinda flat. Was hoping he would be my Ranger bf but during the ranger quests he's just trying to avoid his ex-wife and convince you to get back to constellation work. Really wanted more "Cowboy" from the cowboy. 3. Adoring Fan: Yes, you have to waste a trait to have him and he's useless on the ship but he's the best pack mule in the game, has funny dialogue which makes him entertaining, and has better accuracy then most companions in my experience. Sam will stand there tapping fire miss half his shots and take cover will Adoring just runs at them, mowing threw'em with his rifle yelling "This pain is for you!" I love this man and am happy to burn a crew slot and trait to have him with me. 4. Amelia/Autumn Macmillian: both are girls with hard to get conditions, being a secret quest and finishing the rangers quest, but they're both pleasent to travel with, have a 2 star rating with a gun and are unique characters to be around. 5. Andreja: I'm the oppesite of the video maker, her morality is all over the place for me, she never liked anything I did and while particle beams are the best guns in the game her accuracy with them is awful. Not to mention it you upgrade those particle beams she'll cause colateral damage then get mad at me for killing civillans when she shot the radioactive round. She's still great for planetary exploration. Doesn't talk too much and generates money while I scan stuff. My top crew: 1. Barrett: Put this man on your ship ASAP, boosts the best ship weapons, helps repairs and gives you food when you talk to him so from a roleplay he's also the chef on the ship. His companion quest is worth doing at least once but I never felt like taking him on the field after I finished it the first time like Sarah or Sam. 2. Vasco: free point of reactor, more shields for combat and EM weapons are good for boarding ships if you got'em installed plus he defends your landing zone.

My faves- in no particular order 1. Vasco- if you choose introvert perk alone. no need to go into detail. Hes an asset in your ship crew boosts important ship stats. Hes the perfect funny robot companion, not bad in combat if he doesn't get in the way but goes down way too easily. Not sure if you can upgrade him without mods. 2. Adoring fan- great character if you want to be entertained and not care about your horrible life choices. Great packmule and great bullet sponge, give the man a great melee weapon and he'll go to work allowing you to sit back and pick your shots. 3. I'm going to have to three way tie barrett, sam and sarah all good choices so long as you're playing nice. All are decent pack rats and bullet sponges. Sam's great with the rifles, definitely the lawbringer. Sarah as finicky as she is she's extremely efficient with anything that goes pew pew. And Barrett is great for entertainment alone just give him something extra spicy and he'll go to town.

There’s an urgent need to have more morally ambiguous companions in Starfield, for those who want to follow a darker, less ethical path. The Constellation team are all very ethical and aligned, which isn’t unrealistic, but at the same time they’re your main companions. I feel Andreja should be made much darker and happier with you taking piracy and other routes for profit.. would also then make her the dream wife lol.

He does come out of the blue like a Jack in the Box 📦, it really can surprise you sometimes I know exactly what you mean 😂. If you played older games like the elder scrolls oblivion then he is a nice throwback and gets a nice smile out of you 😊😊

[@kingreeper365]

Sam is great and i use him a lot and this guy with the right weapons will take out half of the enemies before you even notice what he is attacking. I tossed a legendary grenade launcher on him with his other weapons and it is really funny seeing him rapidly firing it off and destroying things way further out then the gun should even shoot.

[@oxironhorser]

asside from backstory the best companion Ive found is becky Howser, give her a grenade and bridger grenade launcher and watch her go, she even cusses her enemies as shes blowing them to hell, shes got demolitions 3 so shes a beast with a heavy weapon and a grenade.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

Great info, will try it out and include her in my next list!

[@profit-c6686]

AndreJa is my ride or die chick. She reminds me of Drummer from the Expanse. I keep all those other guys with ship perks like Barret, stay on my ship.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

The expanse was such a banger show. Last season kinda slipped a bit but overall an awesome ride. Let me know what you think of my new gun tier list for Starfield, I’m interested in what you think 🤔

[@dannymarksberry1156]

Aw yes. I met Sarah on September 1st 2023. We fell in love and eventually got married on September 4th 2023. She definitely made me a better man and we love exploring planets and moons with each other. We take selfies of our adventures.

Really glad it helped you sir! I plan to make a lot more content like this and the whole point is to save people time and try to assist them in their RPG/RTS journey through various games. Really hope to see you subscribe and thank you so very much for your kind words and viewership ❤️❤️❤️

[@tg6301]

Vasco is a great crew member, because he will be in the entrance of anywhere you land or dock to. So he can help in clearing areas, along with your actual companion. Companion wise i agree Sam, not much he dislikes.

[@Csdabest89]

Hire a random crew member. ANd dont take them on shady missions. I thought I was good on a stealth mission till my companion got shook and started spraying

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

It’s funny in this game everyone is a good guy who’s never stolen a thing it seems like. The first real thing that goes down they start acting 🎭 crazy like Mr. blonde in reservoir dogs…

[@robertward503]

Enjoyed your video and the presentation. I do think that Andreja should have been up one level. I play with her as primary a lot and don't have trouble with stealth in a combat situation. Don't do much in the way of stealing items. She has very strong combat skills, and charges in to engage the enemy. Has my back at all times, let's me know when she is throwing grenades, great story line and in-depth character. Her recommendation should be higher in my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together.

[@IDontBeKaren]

I love the adoring fan for the comedic value. I used him as a storage container and comic relief on the ship.

[@pragmaticeagle4832]

You can go stealth 100% of the time in a fight. It's actually very easy to do. Aside from the ability to remove 1 or 2 enemies pre-encounter, I don't really care for stealth & still, it's very easy to do. If you find it hard, it's a playstyle flaw/choice &/or it's because you are lacking 4 points in the stealth skill. With that being said, the 4 constellation companions you can get at the beginning of the game. You choose which order to get them in. Saying you got 1 of them late... that's a choice you made. With Andreja, she will turn completely invisible every time you crouch, will not run out in the open, will effectively use cover to snipe, will not go down easily, will not alert enemies if you are being stealthy & will clean up house if you choose to focus on an elite/boss. No comment way or the other on the list as every list is subjective & the creator of the list is welcome to formulate their own opinions for themselves. I am only leaving this comment because you are 100% wrong about Andreja's effectiveness in combat & stealth. I play the game on hard, am on NG+3 (lvl 73) and Andreja with a sniper rifle is still able to 1 shot enemies up to lvl 65.

[@thomasmapolie4760]

Andreja is the best for me. Give her a good laser weapon and a good spacesuit and you can't go wrong

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

That’s the most important factor, choose someone you personally like and vibe with!

[@BADiesel]

Amelia Earhart should have -2 piloting to be honest.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

😂 so sad but true my dude, that guy’s got the worst luck possible!

[@KakavashaForever]

You get Andreja late? Third mission in the game is late? Am I missing something?

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

I should have said relatively late sorry small typo. Since a lot of the other companions you can get right after the prologue if you know where your going.

[@NorthernChev]

I don’t know if it’s a game mechanic built into ALL companions or not, but Sarah, for me, seemed to agro and initiate more fights when I didn’t want it than any other companion. Other than that, though, she was fantastic to run with. Sam proved good too.

[@magnusmagnus-d1t]

Amelia airhart's in the game man that's wild. this is just like how she was randomly dropped in star trek voyager.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

I remember that! Holy what a memory I watched that show as a kid. Good times with Janeway and the gang. Thanks for watching my video and I hope you stick around for my next videos friend!

[@RajSharma14]

Awesome... gonna save me time for sure... The game is standard Bethesda material for sure... feels very fallout 4ish in terms of combat, quests, dialog, mechanics and music, but just in space lol For me its definitely a perk. Lovin it so far

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

Me too! Thanks for dropping in your one of my biggest supporters! I agree for me it’s like 1 part fallout 3/ one part The Expanse, and one part Skyrim. It’s definitely not perfect but it’s immensely fun!

[@JayAshkevron]

I love this video, but I do disagree about Omari. He has shield systems 3, which means he boosts your shields. You are right he's not a great companion, but having him as crew on your ship boosts your total shields by one power slot and frees up that slot to go to other systems. So hes a great choice for ship crew.

[@marvinaafamilychannel5948]

[@bigbri4090]

I have Ezekiel on my ship. He was at one of the smaller bars in Akila.

got him cuz I love hearing that matt mercer voice. basically i got distant future mccree on board now.

[@rising_pheonix7665]

You also didn’t note that Sam comes with Cora, another person with a unique personality and quests, it just adds another reason to put him on your ship or as your main companion! Also there are some companions missing, Mathis Castillo from the Crimson Fleet quest line as well as Hadrian from the UC quest line!

[@Amodernvikingr]

My favorite is both Barrett and Sarah. Sarah is beautiful and the british accent is so attractive. After you get to know her you realize that she did have a tough live and its no wonder why she is so justify. Like most beautiful females she is just a lady that need love and someone that do understand her, and can give her comfort. Barrett is brilliant with a funny personality he is the absolute bestbuddy you could wish for in life, he also have a good sanse of humour and he do remind me of a real friend that I did have in my life. He was also gay but his personality was unique and he was a respectable kind soul. He did die in a car crash not long ago. 😢 He also did talk alot of life after death and the stars in our universe. I do know its a videogame but when I did travel with Barrett it did remind me of my friend, and am so happy about that. When someone you care about dies they will never truly be gone. They will always be a part of you... ❤ Ps: I did hope to get Kaiser as a companion too, he is the most badass robot in the hole game, and I would love some more backstory about him and the ability to get him to your ship. It would be funny to se him and Vasco argue about human understanding and their personalities and how we do behave as a species. 😂

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

Hopefully 🙏 with the game DLC more companions will be added and Kaiser needs to be one of them! As for Sarah and Barrett I’m definitely more of a Barrett man but I think that’s part of the beauty of the game, every single person is going to gravitate towards a different companion and hopefully this video can help a person get to their favorite companion a bit earlier and know what they are good at and what they lack. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts, you are appreciated here!💯👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrJfgh]

Barrett also gets a buff in gunfights by unlocking his starborn power if you do his ng+ quest (and you also get a power upgrade).

[@kopfjagers8157]

Thank you for the video bro

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

No problem 👍 hope to see you in my next video friend!

[@Foxxie0kun]

One thing I like about the companions is that if there's a gun with ammo that drops that is better than their default or the one they're currently using, they'll move to loot and equip it. Normally one would have to manually replace their default weapon and give them ammo, but the AI bethesda has for them lets them check bodies and the environment for an upgrade. A couple of different times I've caught Sam Coe with a new rifle or Andreja or Barrett with a Magshear or Magpulse that dropped from an enemy.

[@heyhoojoe]

That has never happened for me in over 100 hours. But maybe that is because I have told them to equip a specific gun that I gave them, instead of leaving them with what they had.

[@queredknight]

I always look for the doctor to run with. In Skyrim I downloaded a healer for a companion. That’s because I used to be a combat medic and it has never left my memory. I still miss those days so my builds in Bethesda games revolve around a combat medic build.

Andreja is my wife and she's an s+++ her stealth is awesome, she goes invisible when you are in stealth. I made sure to use Barret more so he would get slaughtered in the story

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

She’s pretty cool overall. I totally get why people like her. Definitely check out my latest gun tier list in Starfield and let me know your thoughts. I’m interested in your take on it.

[@DaneInTheUS]

Barrett is so much better than anyone else from an ability/ power standpoint once you get his StarBorn power ... I don't like his personality though lol. At the end of the day, my recommendation is to pick whatever companion you enjoy the company of.

[@dednsyde]

My guy Mathis getting no love on your list is tough.

[@pavadeur]

Funny how you make a tierlist of EVERY companion/crew but you are missing at least like 10 of the named ones in the game. And even if they are far worse than any named ones, you still have the ones just named for their skills, who are still also potential companion/crew members. But great list for EVERY companion in the game, even if you don't even have half of EVERY companion.

[@falsenostalgia-shannon]

21:25 Glad someone else said it. It’s weird to see so many guys drooling over Sarah when she’s so, uhh, grandma-ish.

[@etienneroy9857]

omari is a great crew he give you a point in shield

[@Panyc333]

One thing this list fails to account for is the moral standing of some characters. Depending on your play style some companions may dislike you and leave your company. Companions like the adoring fan will never judge you regardless of your actions. This is a considerable trait that shouldn’t be overlooked.

[@ThatAnxiousGamer]

That’s very true. To my knowledge only the adoring fan and Vasco seem totally neutral and understanding of whatever your actions may be. This is definitely a flaw in the game IMO.
