He’s a philosopher that feels caged by society with a splash of ageism that isn’t often seen in games. But once you do his loyalty quest, you see a different side of him. He’s miserable when you first meet him: haughty, superior, almost mean. OK, only 32, but I feel like I’m 80 so his snark and attitude is something I don’t approve of but can definitely understand. OK, so I know since he’s at the bottom of the list, he’s technically the worst but there are two reasons that doesn’t actually mean much: 1) all of the companions are dope in the way that they feel natural and are so different from each other, 2) I’m old. His skills in combat aren’t really anything too special either, so if you want to leave him on the Unreliable, you aren’t really missing out on much. Sure, he has a funny line here and there but overall he reminded me of the younger brother that you love but don’t necessarily like. He’s a pipsqueak that thinks he can solve every one of his problems by beating the crap out of anyone that says differently. When you meet Felix, he’s the epitome of small appendage syndrome. She’s a very well-written character with a personality that is as real as it gets, just for me personally – it’s a little too real sometimes. That being said, she’s a cool chick with even cooler hair, which saves her from being down at the bottom, and her LMG is pretty heckin’ sweet. If I wanted to hang out with a ball of anxiety and a bottle of whiskey, I’d just chill out in front of a full-length mirror and cry. Some may like being able to see themselves in characters – I’m not one of them. I love Nyoka, I really love Nyoka but her existential crisis mixed with drinking and a fun splash of depression hit a little too close to home for comfort.


You know? The millennial younger sister: Nyoka She’s a bit of a dick, but she’s our dick. Her needling commentary is a sharp contrast to Parvati’s sweet talk, but provides a nice balance with companion banter while exploring. Though not enough to top Parvati in my eyes, Ellie was a close second with her wit, her cynicism, and her quick trigger fingers when it comes to taking out enemies. I knew I was firmly Ellie’s when the space pirate winked at me and insulted me at the same time.

Plus, if you decide to help her in the name of love with another character, her loyalty mission is about as precious as they come with little cakes and dresses and oh my god, Parvati you have no damn right being this adorable. Merrill’s naive and humble nature made her adorable and someone that you want to protect with your life and Parvati was definitely harnessing that same energy.Ī mechanic players meet on the first world with Edgewater, she is as helpful as she is useful with her powerful melee attacks. Say what you will about the second Dragon Age game, that title had some damn good companions. Immediately after meeting Parvati, I couldn’t help but to compare her to Merrill from Dragon Age 2. So without further adieu, let’s get to judging! Now with video at the bottom! Best The Outer Worlds Companions Ranked The best: Parvati The thing about companions in games is they aren’t like our children – we have no shame in saying who is our favorite and who is better left out on the Unreliable. But seriously, Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds has incredible companions that players will meet and fall in love with – though not literally because there’s not romance because then the game would be absolutely perfect and we can’t have that.
