You can come to meet five regular companions inFallout: London, three of which can be recruited right away, allowing you to gain a traveling partner quickly.

Should You Recruit John Smith Or Pendragon?
Choose Between 5th Column Or Camelot Factions
When it comes to John Smith and Pendragon, unfortunately,players can only choose to befriend one of them, as they are tied to two opposingfactions inFallout: London. Therefore, to pick which companion to recruit, you will need to join one of their factions, ideally one that aligns with your values or whose side quests you would enjoy progressing.
You canrecruit John Smith by joining the 5th Column faction, a fascist movement to reshape British wasteland society in the image of their Totalitarian leader, Eve Varney, and rid the Gentry, an aristocratic and classist faction.
Blinded, devoted to their leader, this faction is based on a real group of Nazi Sympathizers from the UK, inspiredby Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists.
With a similar goal of rebuilding the city and bringing the Gentry down,Pendragon belongs to the Camelot faction, whose objective is to bring peace to Britons by making it a republic, going about it very differently from the 5th Columns. However, while a more moral-focused group, unfortunately, they have been forced underground.
Due to the background and authoritative style of the 5th Columnfaction inFallout: London, joining this group may rub most players the wrong way, so Camelot is generally considered the more popular version. OnlyPendragon is actually a robot, and while you can speak to them in dialogue, they cannot speak back, but they still follow all commands and manage to communicate in their own way.
With the same goal in mind of getting rid of the Gentry, ultimately, it depends on which faction players would enjoy interacting with the most, or if you prefer to stay impartial, you may just choose the faction of which character you’d prefer the company of. Either way, all quests in theFallout 4mod are still engaging and are all the more fun with a companion at your side.
