10 Useless Video Game Sidekicks Who Never Had Your Back
4. Sticky - Fallout 3
Despite the excellence of Fallout
3's companion system and the great characters who could accompany you
across the Wasteland, there was one character who made us want to gag
them, shoot them, and bury them in the radioactive waste for the
Deathclaws to find.
Little Lamplight is a refuge for children to live in until they reach 16. Sticky, who is in the process of being kicked out, requests to join the player's character until they reach Big Town.
Initially we think Sticky is being kicked out because he's too old, claiming to be 18. In fact, on accepting the request, we quickly realise it's because he is the most annoying person in the entire apocalypse!
Constantly asking “Are we there yet?” and repeating the same mundane stories again and again, Sticky makes you wonder why you're even bothering to stay alive in this eternal waste. He won't leave your side either until you deliver him to Big Town as promised, so, if you for some reason decide to saddle yourself with him, stick the TV on mute and run to Big Town as fast as you can before insanity grips you.
