20 Video Game NPCs You CAN'T Afford To Lose
12. Kent Connolly - Fallout 4
The Silver Shroud is one of the most fun quests in the base game Fallout 4. The whole mission revolves around donning the costume of the in-universe comic book hero called the Silver Shroud and then pretending to be the masked vigilante to help a pre-war ghoul comic book nerd named Kent Connolly rid his neighborhood of crime.
Throughout the mission, your helpful but shy sidekick Kent stays inside the safety of his radio booth to help you coordinate attacks on Goodneighbor’s gangs. However, towards the end of the mission, Kent gets kidnapped by a raider leader called Sinjin, and this is where you need to make extra sure the ghoul makes it out alive.
While rescuing Kent from Sinjin’s men is incredibly difficult due to him having low health and being surrounded by hostile people that are programmed to prioritize him as the target, you want to do everything you can to keep Kent alive. This is because Kent is the only NPC in the game who can provide upgrades to the Silver Shroud’s gear.
The buffs Kent offers if he stays alive can turn the superhero costume into one of the best armors in the game, offering incredible damage resistance with relatively low weight, so you definitely don’t want to miss out on it.
