Some of the best writing in Fallout 4 is really easy to miss.
There are 13 unique companions in Fallout 4, and every time you swap between them, the characters will acknowledge each other in some way. The things companions say during these mini-cutscenes is awesome, too. Bethesda’s writers have included everything from jokes, to flirting, and bickering. It’s a real treat to watch.
Here’s a round-up of character swap quotes.
