The Commonwealth’s wasteland is a treacherous and tough place to live in, and yet people have ways to make it work. From becoming raiders and mercenaries to leading powerful underground factions towards the glory of the new post-apocalyptic world, NPCs of Fallout 4 never fail to impress with how tough they have.
Female NPCs, in particular, are absolutely incredible in this game. Bethesda not only included women of various ages, but also of diverse backgrounds. Although it could be argued the female Sole Survivor is undoubtedly the strongest woman in the wasteland, these NPCs make for great runner-ups.
10 Ronnie Shaw
The Minutemen might be a dead faction at the beginning of the game, but the Sole Survivor can bring it all back with the help of Preston Garvey, as well as Ronnie Shaw. She’s one of the original Minutemen and can be first met at the Castle when the faction captures another location during the quest Old Guns.
She’s not the kindest lady to speak to, but she’s seen a lot in her life and doesn’t trust easily. Although she refused to help her fellow Minutemen at Quincy, she’s still a veteran of the faction and extremely dedicated to the cause.
9 Madison Li
Madison Li is a character that has been seen in a variety of Fallout games. From Fallout 3 to Fallout 4, as well as Fallout Shelter, she’s become a bit of a staple in recent years. A scientist with excellent skills and unparalleled intelligence, she’s been around to know more about the world than anyone else, and, in the latest game, works for the Institute.
Madison Li is one of the NPCs that looks out mostly for herself and has changed factions depending on what her own interests are. Chasing after her own goals is an admirable trait, especially in a world where factions often force loyalty upon others. Despite that, she’s a bit of an antagonist in the game depending on how one looks at things.
8 Fahrenheit
Goodneighbor is full of pretty tough characters. It’s the place where everyone who doesn’t fit anywhere else goes to in order to find their own crowd. With very few rules, chaos is bound to break loose at any point, which is why someone like Fahrenheit deserves all the respect.
She’s Hancock’s right hand, and probably manages things more than the game gives her credit. She singlehandedly protects Hancock’s storage during the Big Dig quest and doesn’t take crap from anyone. Plus, if she can deal with Hancock on a daily basis, it just goes to show she’s among the most down to earth people in the entire game.
7 Desdemona
For a faction leader, Desdemona doesn’t tell much about herself. It fits the appearances of the Railroad, however, to remain quiet about one’s past. What’s known for sure is that she was voted into her current leadership fair and square, after working for the Railroad for a year or so.
Desdemona might not be the most relatable character in the game, but she’s done a lot for the Railroad and the synths. Most importantly, she’s developed a ton of security protocols for the Railroad to ensure their missions go smoother. It can’t be easy, leading a faction that has to remain as silent and secretive as possible.
6 Mags Black
In the Nuka-World DLC there are quite a few tough raiders the Sole Survivor gets the chance to rub elbows with, and one of those is Mags Black of the Operators. She leads the group with her brother William, but it’s clear she’s the one who wears the pants.
Mags was actually once a resident of Diamond City, and she came from a well off family. However, following an embarrassing incident, Mags was exiled from the city and moved to Nuka-World with her brother. She’s come quite a long way and has become very hardened by the raider life. Even now, all she cares about is making a profit.
5 Piper Wright
Upon first arriving at Diamond City, Piper Wright comes across as the Sole Survivor’s closest thing to a best friend. She’s loud and stubborn, always chasing after the truth in order to publish it in her very own newspaper Publick Occurrences.
Piper’s desire for the truth is rooted in her difficult past. After dealing with her father’s murder and exposing the intentions of a raider group, she’s become obsessed with revealing the truth to the people and giving them the power to decide what’s right and what’s wrong. It’s certainly not the easiest job in the Commonwealth.
4 Captain Avery
Few have had a life as long and as burdensome as Captain Avery, especially when one discovers that the real Captain Avery is actually buried in a secret grave under the Vim! Pop Factory. It’s truly a tragedy, one that would make any player absolutely despise DiMA.
Captain Avery witnessed the island turn into the foggy mess that it is now, and saw how it forced her people to flee to the small town of Far Harbor. Having the strength to still lead her people and keep her cool is admirable to say the least, even if she’s but a synth replica. In fact, her death is a tragic extension of her story, and incredibly unfair towards her.
3 Proctor Ingram
After joining the Brotherhood of Steel and finishing the first act of the main quest, the player will be allowed on the Prydwen, where they’ll meet Proctor Ingram among other NPCs. Ingram is a special one, however, because she’s through quite a bit while still being alive.
Ingram doesn’t actually have her legs anymore, since she fell during a battle from great heights and had her legs crushed in her power armor. After amputation, she’s permanently stuck in a power armor suit, though she remains as dedicated as ever despite the suffering she went through.
2 Nisha
Back to Nuka-World. Nisha is one of the three gang leaders in Nuka Town, and she’s the head of the sadistic and twisted Disciples. She’s quite the violent type and is obsessed with pain and suffering, which sort of makes sense once one finds out about her awful past.
Her parents were killed by a raider called Sledge, who trained her, before leaving her behind to die. Nisha managed to pull herself together and chased after Sledge in order to kill him. After her vengeance, she’s become extremely callous and doesn’t have a soft spot for anyone or anything in the world.
1 Cait
No one has had it as rough as Cait, and, the thing is, Cait hasn’t allowed any of her past to bring her down—not fully, at least. Through her personal quest, she actually ends up giving up on chems, and she grows to be an even better version of herself.
Cait’s past is riddled with tragedy. Her parents abused her and sold her to slavery. It’s safe to assume she was then further abused by whoever she was sold to for services until she made it to the Combat Zone where the Sole Survivor finds her and may recruit her as a companion. She’s extremely resilient, and a character with incredible depth.
