Been playing a LOT of Fallout 4 recently and my go-to companion is Codsworth (because heâs my son) so here are the top 10 fun facts I found out while looking at his page on the wiki. Note that since this is a fanmade wiki, I canât be 1000% sure of its legitimacy but a lot of it feels familiar.
1. Codsworth doesnât actually care about you being a cannibal, just that youâre polite. From what I can find thereâs no friendship decay from cannibalism, and his âEating Corpsesâ lines only wish that Sole would have more manners, like using a napkin and utensils or seasoning their food first.
2. Codsworth has a death line despite being essential.
Bethesda. Count your days.
3. Codsworth has a lot of funny lines when you throw an explosive, but he also has one REALLY funny line when you step on a mine: âWhoopsie!â
4. Indeed a lot of Codsworthâs lines are really sweet about wanting to keep you safe, like suggesting you hide behind him in areas associated with the Children of Atom because heâs radiation-proof.
5. Despite being at least a little polite about most enemies, Codsworth is constantly insulting Raiders. Compare âKeep a look out for Mirelurksâ and âEyes out, this may be Gunner territoryâ to âPoint me at the next raider you see, Iâll take out the rubbishâ and âBloody psychotic gits. If youâll pardon my Frenchâ
6. One of his lines when fighting mongrels is âHello, doggie!â And I know he probably says it angrily but because I havenât heard it all I can picture is him going âPuppy!!â
7. Thereâs a lot of good switch in dialogue but I actually really the dialogue when you switch from X6-88 to Codsworth.
8. Some good switch OUT dialogue comes from Paladin Danse, who sounds like he is barely restraining himself from being an asshole. You need to hear the audio to get it, but itâs pretty funny. Additionally from the Switch Out dialogue it seems Codsworth is on good terms with every companion, with highlights like calling Hancock the âbeloved mayor of Goodneighborâ and telling X6-88 that he can âRest easy with someone of [X6-88âs] skillâ looking after Sole.
9. I noticed this on my own time but something thatâs really interesting to me is that, if you take your companion to go see your spouse in 111, Codsworth and Nick are the most emotional sounding. I just think itâs cute that two robot companions are very âhumanâ in that way. This is probably actually because they share a Voice Actor!
10. You donât actually need to save Preston and the settlers before recruiting Codsworth, you just need to go far enough into Concord. The wiki says that you need to go âFar enough to hear gunshotsâ. What this means is that Codsworth actually has some unique dialogue during âWhen Freedom Callsâ and the early Minutemen Quests that I have personally never heard.
Thereâs a lot to discover about my favorite little guy, and too keep things brief Iâll stop at 10. Goodness knows I could go for ages. The wiki is a treasure trove of cute, funny, or cool things about Codsworth, so I recommend giving it a look!
