Summary

• Some characters can be romanced, but not all of them are what we'd call "romantic"
• The best romances are with characters that have depth and emotional progress
• There are more robots in this list than you might expect.

Bethesda may have introduced romance in Skyrim by letting you marry a not-insignificant number of NPCs, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4 tꦯook that ball and ran with it. No longer was a rich love life only accomplished through the right jewelry. Now you h🎀ad to actually talk and stuff.

These love interests can offer some surprisingly sweet moments. We've already ranked Fallout 4's romances by their gameplay bonuses, so here's our ranking of romance options in Fallout 4 by how envious they'll probably make you about your own love life.

10 ಞ Porter Gage

"You Know, You'll Always Be The Overboss Of My Hear- Ha Ha HaOh Man, I Couldn't Do It. Couldn't Keep A Straight Face."

How's that for a shocker? It turns out that a ruthless raider with a history of betrayal might not win many fans in the romance department. You meet Porter during the Nuka World DLC, with your first encounter involving him having you kill and replace his gang's current Overboss.

Despite his often hilarious banter, his unhinged nature kind of keeps you looking over your shoulder. But it's ok. He surely won't betray you eventually, too, right? Never mind that he hints he might do it again if you make him angry. Nah, you can fix him.

9 Gilda 🐻Broscoe 🐻

"Keep It Up Tiger, And We'll Find Out If You Can Handle How Much Woman I Am."

Just to really drive home how much of a disaster Porter Gage is, right above him on the romance scale is a Robobrain you can have a one night stand with. You encounter Gilda 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:during the Far Harbor DLC as one of the many formerly human Robobrains in Vau𒆙lt 118.

While speaking with Gilda (who is a murder suspect, by the way), you're able to flirt with her multiple times, potentially leading to an intimate encounter. Hard to pinpoint the positives of this one, but as an actress, she's got a way with words. Not a great way, but a way.

8 Magnolia

"You're A Survivor, Aren't You? I Bet The Whole World Could Stand In Your Way, And You'd Just Keep Going."

Just being voiced by Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter, would be enough to solidify Magnolia as the ♐best non-companion romance option in Fallout 4. But that smooth voice needs similarly smooth writing behind it, and this synth singer has that in spades.

You meet Magnolia in the Third Rail bar in Goodneighbor, where she regularly serenades the sloshed patrons. If your charisma is high enough, you can initiate a steamy encounter with her. But only one. She already has a significant other in her life, and that's the stage. Feel free to try that line in real life and see how it goes.

7 Paladin Danse ܫ 🌌

"Whatever Caused Our Fates To Intertwine Would Never Let Them Unravel."

Paladin Danse of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Brotherhood of Steel may put on a first impression as cold as his metal armor, but there's a reason he's become so popular among certain fans.

Once you reach a critical point, his hardened exterior finally softens, an💃d𝓀 you can see his much more sensitive, vulnerable side. He may not be as emotionally engaging as some of the others, but watching him gradually open up after spending so much time together really goes a long way in making you feel special.

6 Preston Garve🔜y 🧸

"I'm Not Sure If Minutemen Regulations Cover Our Situation."

Yes, we know. Preston is THAT guy. He may be more worried about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the settlements of Fallout 4 than you ever will be, but just let him enjoy his hyperfixation. Besides, if you divert his attention with your natural carnal energy, you'll discover some genuinely adorable moments.

One thing that makes Preston's romance special is that he specifically addresses your player character recently losing their spouse. It unintentionally lampshades how quickly you're potentially moving on, but that sort of attentiveness makes him a particularly attractive partner. Plus, you're still not moving as quickly as every single Skyrim marriage.

5 Cait

"This Has To Be The First Time I Put All Me Cards On The Table And Didn't End Up Losin' Everything."

Much like Danse, Cait gives off a kind of first impression similar to a feral cat. When you first meet this Irish fireball in the Combat Zone, she's a chaotic chem addict with seemingly nothing to lose, and her occasional derisive comments about Dogmeat are more than enough justification to put her in time out.

But stick with her, and she'll eventually let you in to see her vulnerabilities. You can even feel her personality soften a bit in real-time. When the romance begins in full, you've gotten to experience the changes in her life with her, and her enthusiasm for you as a partner is genuinely heartwarming.

4 Hancock

"Come On, Love. Let's Get This Freakshow On The Road."

Considering your first encounter with Hancock sees him thrusting a knife into someone, you might be immediately put off by him or immediately on board for the Goodneighbor mayor's shenanigans. Either way, it's admittedly not the most romantic initial impression.

But 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:once you recruit Hancock, he'll eventually prove to be the perfect blend of tender passion and wild wasteland cowboy action. If you're one of the many people who felt awakened in... certain ways.. by Walton Goggins' Ghoul on the Fallout TV series, Hancock is as close as you're going to get to that fantasy you'll never tell your coworkers about.

3 MacCready

"With You At My Side, I Feel Like I Can Take On The World. There's No Bond Stronger Than That."

At first glance, the tough-looking mercenary MacCready might seem like another Hancock. Hanging out in Goodneighbor's dingy Third Rail bar waiting for contracts to come in, he's got that dangerous look about him that's sure to draw a certain crowd among fans (and oh, it has).

You'll eventually learn that he also lost a spouse and is currently looking to cure his sick son, traits that tragically help the two of you bond. Plus, he's a massive dork. He'll get excited about finding comic books and shout out "echo!" in caves, and you'll absolutely love him for it.

2 Piper

"You Are One Well-preserved Relic, You Know That?"

Piper's quick-witted, fast-talking personality is on full display from the moment you see her, and that never goes away. But this reporter has some hidden depths.

After she joins you in Diamond City, you'll find yourself getting into deeper conversations with her in between random compliments on your lockpicking skills. It's during those talks that her increasing admiration for you almost feels real, making her romance path all the more satisfying.

1 Curie

"My Control Of Feelings Is Worse Than Before. And You, You Are No Help. With Your Teasing Of Poor Little Curie."

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4 fan-favorite Curie can be a bit controversial. You find her in Vault 81 as a sophisticated Miss Nanny robot, But she expresses a powerful desire to experience the world as a human, eventually transferring herself into a synth body. The power dynamics here are interesting, as you're potentially turning on the charm right as she's learning what love even is.

But outside of that context, Curie's romance is arguably the most engaging of the bunch. Her new synth body feels emotions so intensely, and you can tell that easily from her interactions with the player, especially as she continues to analyze everything through her super-intelligent analytical mind. It's admittedly hard not to be charmed by her bright-eyed wonder, a quality increasingly difficult to find in a world where you eat giant roaches.
