Ada the best companion,having an automatron as a companion is extremely handy,she can hack,pick locks,fuck up anything that gets in your way,whilst having a soothing nice voice and doesn't really criticize you.
Only thing literally the ONLY thing is she can’t take power armor suits for you so if you find one and you’re already wearing one you have to backtrack
She would be my favourite if it weren't for the fact that she has no affinity system and just a few lines that are only relevant to the dlc. Modified codsworth is my go to companion now.
@idk The no-affinity is exactly why I love her the most. I don't want a judgemental asshole following me around, and Dogmeat, as cute as he is, lacks firepower.
19:47 Some people say that sentient robots are nothing like human beings. I respectfully disagree. If anything, their main problem is that they're _too much_ like humans.
I know your comment is two years old but robots like codsworth and curie made me start believing that the robots are as sentient as humans just simply have protocols they have too follow
@@cullenpinney2997 Plausible. Some of the human characters are just as rigidly constrained, like Maxson, Desdemona, and Sean. Whether the constraints are programming or fanaticism, the end result is still that in the tiny handful of cases where you _could_ reason with them, it's a Herculean task. Hell, most of the humanoid characters I've met out in the wastes are really just killer robots made of meat. Gunners, non-DLC Raiders, and Supermutants are as mindlessly hostile as any Tankbot.
@@Rabboleth Yeah I mean I get this is a deep existential discussion on the nature of sentience in regards to robots. Touching really, but it's pointless. Lets not forget this is just a video game made by Bethesda. In real life any robot achieving true free will is essentially impossible and the only reason fiction can portray it as though it could happen is through the lens of having the ability to ignore the basic laws of programming and technology. Besides, any amount of interaction in this game you could consider "free will" is just programming made to mimic it for the sake of the robots being pleasing for human interaction. There are plenty of other Mr. Handy's, Synths, Assaultrons and protectron that just straight up act like the robots they are simply because their personality matrixes are turned off or they weren't built with personality emulation protocols. The only group you could even make a convincing argument for are Gen 3 synths, and we've seen them be reprogrammed, scrubbed of memory and shut down several times throughout. Disregarding that though, the inability to age, reproduce, grow and the fact that they don't have to eat or sleep shows they lack the basic fundamental characteristics of life. They aren't alive and never were, they are simply imitating life at the behest of the institute, and any synth that ends up going rogue only does so because of a terribly flawed loophole in the institute's programming: The ability to resist thy maker. If they made it so they couldn't resist their creator, we wouldn't even see rogue synths. It's not a question of if they are alive, it's a question of why the institute allowed them the ability to resist. And the answer is shitty writing.
@@grunkythegrandpaofcheese5241 What I was referring to in the original comment was the in-game NPCs. I don't know enough about real-world robotics and AI to address that issue with any confidence whatsoever. Even when referring to what's available in-game, the narrative is unreliable by design. Clumsy design, at that. The robots are either human NPCs in tin suits, or target practice, same as any Raider. Regardless of why they behave the way they do, behaviorally the 'intelligent' robot NPCs are indistinguishable from humans. I'd have to say that's largely due to the game itself being mostly surface, as the humans aren't very, well, human either. Hell, the players actually to enable _basic life functions_ for the main character, and even when they do, Sole never has to take a shit, and cannot reproduce. Even _Sims_ are more physically and psychologically realistic than characters in 'survival' type games, and they're rated "T".
Ada is such a great companion. She's smart, good at combat and she doesn't lose affinity when you do something she disaproves of. I always bring her, noone else.
@@KitsuneYojimboIt makes me wonder if she is actually one of If not the most loyal companion next to Dogmeat, literally anything you do she'll stand by you and try to see it from your position, plus if I remember correctly as a robot she has no reason to follow you since she's not directly programmed to do so but she chooses to help you and stay with you all the way. That's loyalty to a fault
I'm convinced that when you give an Automatron any of the male/female voices and activate their personality subroutine, Ada just gains another vessel. "A pleasure to see you again(??!), Sir/Ma'am. Are we ready to depart?"
The generic automatron voices (the male and female one) have about as much complexity as Ada, and in fact I think she uses the female voice but has extra story based lines centered around her old caravan group. If you take a male voiced robot with you he has loads of his own lines and some snark based on where you are. He'll subtly roast you for using power armor while also saying it's a great idea, and say stuff like "Now you know what I feel like" when you put it on, all with the utmost politeness and sincerity, it's great. Ada also has a ton of unique lines based around being cautious (which due to her extensive past makes a lot of sense), while the new bots you make have lines that are gung ho about collecting stuff and supporting you, it's the little touches.
Late but I agree. I love the personality sub-routines for the default male/female voices. I have my bot with me at all times, and despite not having an affinity system (disappointing, I love robots >:/ ), he still doesn't like it when I steal/pickpocket/murder innocent npcs. There's also a little difference in tone and intonation sometimes depending on your player's gender. From what I've heard in-game, he seems to be sad regarding the bots sent to the frontlines during conflicts before the bombs fell, and tries to make jokes sometimes. I love my robot buddy :)
I've come to have a soft spot for ada. I keep her at the Red Rocket Truck Stop, along with Cait and Strong to act as an extra lair of defence for Sanctuary Hills.
Basically any combat encounter with Ada and my sole survivor Ashton: Ashton: Ada? Ada: Yes ma’am? Aston: Do you see that ghoul/raider/synth/other? Ada: Yes ma’am. Aston: I don’t want to. Ada: Of course. (Eviscerates them in seconds) Aston: Outstanding. She’s the close quarters to my sniper.
...past Encounter with the brotherhood ..? Now I really wish there were diolouge options. Instead I can only ask, "can you self destruct?" And such.....
I fucking love ada, perfect match with dogmeat because they don’t have likes or dislikes, just a bit sad that when I talk to her the only I can say is “activate self destruct” and “deactivate personality”
Doesn't complain, is always faithful, never questions your actions, has your back at all times, first thought is you and always calls you sir... Damned if I didn't put a ring on that sentry arm gatling laser... lol
Ada, trust me. Synths are not as great as you make them out to be. I made you into an assaultron with max killing and storage capability. Synths CAN"T do what you do. You are perfect. If it is more internal processing features then maaaaybe?
Really wish we could have gotten rogue gen 1s/2s as settlers after destroying the Institute or something. I would have dressed them up in Minutemen and cowboy outfits if it was possible.

A sentry bot with an assaultron... Wonder what that'll be like?
There a few interactions with Old Longfellow and Nick Valentine along with Porter Gage and Preston Garvey. Of course, it ain't much.

Tony Kama they did companion swaps with (Gage and Preston) (Longfellow and Nick) but none for Ada:(
Lonefalloutwolf Ada and Codsworth have dialogue:)
Pail Horse Gaming
Which?
Yeah, same with Gage and dogmeat. "Beat it mutt"
I would've loved to hear Curie and Ada speak together. :c
Best companion I had in a game, especialy when I give her the real body that she was designed to have, the one of an assaultron
Her cadence reminds me of Codec calls from MGS1, particularly Natasha. I think it's the way she has a breathy end to all her sentences.
