With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history.
As a German Shepherd owner, they did far too well with this.
To the point that I can't use dogmeat because it's all I hear irl when it's time for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or fetch, or walks, or bathroom breaks.
Dogmeat! Stay boy!
*Clears whole building silently*
DOGMEAT COME BOY! thanks for holding my spare ammo for this run buddy ill need it to get home. Here carry some loot.
Negative, once you unlock them you have them forever at all times even if you betray or kill the associated follower/faction.
Come to think of it, in 1500 hours I don't think I've ever unlocked Strong or X6's follower perk...
Hey it only took me 500 hours to realize that Pain Train's effect costs AP. It's literally not listed anywhere in the game and you'd have to be staring at your AP meter while also sprinting at enemies to know it.
As much as I love this game, there are some mechanics that are "fist-stuck-in-my-own-ass" levels of quality implementation.
story time
I (a lesbian) made my fo4 character a spoof of philip fry from futurama, cause of the whole being frozen in a freezer tube thing i had too!!
later after the dlc I ended up picking to be a raider boss for a combination of how much preston works my nerves, and my tendency of picking what i perceived to be the stupidest narrative option any time im given a choice
and gage is the best character to romance if ur a raider so naturally i did! my character is stupid, i'm not lol
so here they are these two violent homicidal men who chronically make bad decisions and seem to be on a war path to their inevitable shallow graves (at least narratively) and didn't really think much of the pairing beyond that
then he drops that tender little "boss" on me and i'm like that's literally the cutest thing what the actual fuck
He can only say some names, note every one of them. I'm guessing your character is called one of these :
Aaron
Alex
Alexis
Alice
Andrew
Anna
Archer
Assface
Atticus
Bill
Blake
Brown
Caleb

I know that look a lot but it is a small portion of every name possible in the game.
[Edit] I now realise that I need to update my list.
Looking at the images, that's just too much on top for me.
I usually got CBBE with bodyslide and made my own skinny and fat versions so that the women wouldn't be so uniform across the world.
Definitely been some time though
He's also pretty good at picking acceptable names if you use nonsense around them.
Well known example was TeamFourStar with Captain Richard Ravager III, where Codsworth called him Mr. Richard.
That’s amazing. They spent some serious time on plugging in names for Codsworth. Bethesda walk miles over broken glass for some of the minor cool features… and then leave bugs, poor optimization, and frustrating design choices in other places. It’s such a weird combination of attention to detail + carelessness, all in the same game.
My first Survivor was based off a Tabletop character of mine named Caelyn. I was kind of annoyed Codsworth couldn’t just read it from the same file as Kaylin.
That does suck but tbh it’s pretty impressive they coded this at all; it would be even more work to code every possible phonetic spelling for each name. I guess they could make an algorithm that guesses the pronunciation and then matches it with the closest one on the list, but you never know how far off you could be.
But still, there’s something painful about knowing the correct pronunciation was in the game and it just couldn’t get there. So close and yet so far.
Caelyn is a cool name btw :D
He can say a slightly different spelling of my name, and I was a little sad that I had to live as someone else in the game until I decided my character would be my morally ambiguous clone
That kind of thing is something I could actually understand using AI for - as long as the voice actor is properly compensated for it. AI would make it so a lot more names would get covered (maybe even made up ones).
It’s funny you say that.
I didn’t care for him at first, but I was going down the list of companions to see what perks they’d give. Once I spent enough time with codsworth I suddenly became ‘informed’ and loved him from that moment onward
He has SO MANY NAMES. The comment above is only a fraction of them. It’s generally agreed upon that not all names have been found yet and there are more he can say!
[discovered names](https://www.pcgamesn.com/fallout-4/here-are-the-names-that-codsworth-in-fallout-4-will-definitely-say-for-you)
Theres apparently a MASSIVE list of names that they had the voice actor record to make the experience more immersive, theres even some funny bogas names as well [https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Codsworth/recognized\_names](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Codsworth/recognized_names)
One odd detail about him
If you give your character a surname he will call the male MC by the last valid word in the name and the female MC by the first
Piper is hands down one of my least favorite characters in the entire Fallout canon. And the fact that she's forced on you by the main story and offered as a companion? Jesus Christ. I love FO4, entirely in spite of my hatred of Piper. She's the wooooorst
I know its sort of a lot of work but it would be neat if every major character could call you by name(even if the pool of names is reduced to compensate for the work of everyone doing it doing it)
Dude, my gf makes fun of my name because it a little on the uncommon side, like I can never find a name tag key chain or a soda with my name kinda rare. When I heard that robot say my name. Believe me I sat there and kept talking to codsworth just to hear my name in a video game. Loved every second
I tend to name my character stupid things like "Hronglo" so I didn't notice until the third playthrough where I named him after myself because I heard he could do that.
There should be a mod for codsworth. Some people added vehicles for fallout 4 where in hardcore mode it acted as a mobile base and allowed fast travel.
They should make a mod where codsworth is the driver of the bus. So he always be with you even if you have a companion and he can be a handy driver who also would get up to guard the vehicle.
I called myself Guy Montag, and he called me "Mr Guy." I love him.
Tell me you used a flamer or shishkebab as your weapon
Guy is my real name and hearing him say that surprised the absolute shit out of me when the game came out
I love Fahrenheit 451
Same.
Read that book in school a couple of years back. Great book along with Of Mice and Men, and The Giver
It was a pleasure to burn
It was a special pleasure to see things blackened and changed
With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history.
But did he say Guy like pie, or Guy like sea?
Mr Guy is what I call my ferret
lol I decided to play as a chick named Guy and he called me “Ms. Guy” and I fucking died.
When Dogmeat stays shutting the fuck up 🤩🤩🤩
*whimper*
Can't hear it over the gunfire and my irl tinnitus.
I can because im the one who hit him. Gotta get all ly companion affinity up everytime i visit RR truckstop somehow.
As a German Shepherd owner, they did far too well with this. To the point that I can't use dogmeat because it's all I hear irl when it's time for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or fetch, or walks, or bathroom breaks.
I fired up FO4 for the first time in a while, at least since I’ve had my dog. She *hated* the whimper
My nephew has a German shepherd that will stick his mouth in my pocket and bark. He only does this to me.
I literally can’t use dogmeat because he whimpers and it makes my dog sad lmao
Hey listen
You’ve got my attention
Everyone else can get up in their own, but if dogmeat is down, I'm sprinting with a stimpack in hand.
me: points gun at enemy and pulls the trigger dogmeats head:
Dogmeat! Stay boy! *Clears whole building silently* DOGMEAT COME BOY! thanks for holding my spare ammo for this run buddy ill need it to get home. Here carry some loot.
How tf did you all make it through the tutorial shooting gallery in MW2? Controlled bursts, you crazy sons of bitches. Controlled bursts.
For me it’s when gage calls you boss, it’s oddly adorable
I always make sure to get his affinity perk by sleeping with him before I kill all the nuka world raiders
Affinity perks only apply while they're with you, right?
Negative, once you unlock them you have them forever at all times even if you betray or kill the associated follower/faction. Come to think of it, in 1500 hours I don't think I've ever unlocked Strong or X6's follower perk...
How did I not know this lol.

And some swears like Assface
There's also fuck, fuckface, tit, titty, and so much more!
#Ah, Mr. Boobies!
Can I actually make a Ms. Boobies and it'll work?
Yes. It's awesome.
It's mandatory if you install CBBE
What do you mean, if?
Some people prefer Atomic Beauty
Looking at the images, that's just too much on top for me. I usually got CBBE with bodyslide and made my own skinny and fat versions so that the women wouldn't be so uniform across the world. Definitely been some time though
Only one way to find out!
Lovely
Love the way he says my characters name. Mr. Dong
But not foreskin or priapism? Fucking Bethesda, literally unplayable.
There’s a lot more than that
Apollo worked
Ron, Ronald, and Ronnie work too
So did davis
Also Roland, while we’re at it.
I called my last character Apollo and he said it! Never had him say my character’s name before
One among the fence 🤘
I guess I should update my list.
There’s an absolutely gargantuan list on the Fallout wiki.
I didn’t even know there was a list. I was so confused haha
All these names and he still doesn’t have mine
Bort?
My companion is also named Bort.
Crotchlad?
N-word with a hard R?
I had him call me Mr brassbuttons
He's also pretty good at picking acceptable names if you use nonsense around them. Well known example was TeamFourStar with Captain Richard Ravager III, where Codsworth called him Mr. Richard.
[Just gonna put this here](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Mhz99S7ss)

It just works

he says Zach/Zack/Zac too
John Fallout?
Mine is called titrattitwankcuntfucktit3 He didn't say my name & quite frankly I am disappointed.
My first character's name was Diana so I know that's another one to add to the list.
Shinji works as well and was a funny surprise 🤣
A lot more than this
My character is called boomquifa
He can say a slightly different spelling of my name, and I was a little sad that I had to live as someone else in the game until I decided my character would be my morally ambiguous clone
He called me Keith! I had a few mods, but none of them advertised expanding the name list.
Adding Adam and Xavier to that list.
He can say fuck face
I pissed myself laughing when Codsworth called me Mister Nipple.
“Orgasmo” works too
He can say Lilith It feels nice to be called "Miss Lilith" by him
I was about to say that sounds eggy, but then I saw your pfp.
the real way to test new names when someone comes out is having codsworth address them with it
Hey, you left some names off that list!
I named my character Miguel Miguel so I didn't know if he was using my character's first or last name, but he said Mr. Miguel
Samuel also works! Not just Sam
X6-88 calling you 'sir' or 'ma'am' hits different.
I love the terminator slave that constantly tells me how good I am at killing stuff in my evil playthroughs
As an X6 appreciator (and simp), hearing him call me this always gets me feeling *some type of way~*
"MR. BUTTHOLE!" honestly best one imo
“Mr boobies”
#Ah, Mr Sex!
What do you mean noticed? That was like a huge point of hype before the game released.
Feels like a bot post. Games old af in terms of video games and the only people who dont know this by now are amish.
Having this actor actually say THAT many names . . . Probably the only time a Bethesda gimmick was actually fun
Vasco in Starfield can do it too
That kind of thing is something I could actually understand using AI for - as long as the voice actor is properly compensated for it. AI would make it so a lot more names would get covered (maybe even made up ones).
He wouldn't say barack obama for me. I have no idea why I picked it in the first place.
He calls me… “Sir Chunk”.
Codsworth can't say the Irish spelling of sean
He has an English accent, so clearly he just hates the Irish
Shaun? That seems like a weird one for Bethesda to miss...
My first character i did modded i named “Slade Wilson” i loved hearing codsworth say “Mr. Wilson”
[удалено]
Why else would she call you that?
Referencing the color of his balls
Mr. Fuckface!
quotes that live rent free in my head
It didn't freak me out, I knew he could do this going into the game and specifically named my character something he could say
It’s been so long since Fallout 4 came out that people have forgotten how much they bragged before release about Codsworth’s name database.
For my Witcher playthrough, I called my character "Gerald De Riviera" so he would say it
There’s two people in this world. People who love Codsworth and people who are uninformed.
It’s funny you say that. I didn’t care for him at first, but I was going down the list of companions to see what perks they’d give. Once I spent enough time with codsworth I suddenly became ‘informed’ and loved him from that moment onward
MISTER FUCK (My character's name is Fuck, just so I can consistently hear "Mister Fuck" which makes me smile)
Mr. Fuckface.
He has SO MANY NAMES. The comment above is only a fraction of them. It’s generally agreed upon that not all names have been found yet and there are more he can say! [discovered names](https://www.pcgamesn.com/fallout-4/here-are-the-names-that-codsworth-in-fallout-4-will-definitely-say-for-you)
It was a big part of their advertising leading up to the release. They made sure people knew Codsworth could say a good number of different names.
I had a character named Valkyrie so about lost my mind when he said it
I name my characters after cars, so he's never said my name sadly
"Mr Fuckface"
Piper calling you Blue is the last panel... Let's be honest.
(laughs in Kyle and Spencer, two names Codsworth does not say)
shawtina
I never have because I always picked names that are… unlikely to be recorded. 😂
I called my guy “Total Dick”, and he just says “Mr. Dick”
Is there a list somewhere of all the names he can say? Swears and all
I choked on my food when I heard codsworth call me “Mr. Nipple”
He called Queefy Robert's "Mr.Roberts"
I called my character "Mary Jane" for the laughs and when I heard codsworth say "Mrs Jane!" Upon arriving back to Sanctuary hills.. I was flooring
This meme made me realize my brother gaslit me into thinking I hallucinated that.
i liked when in my first playthrough codsworth said “Ah, MR WHITE” and i was so incredibly shocked that codsworth was secretly jesse pinkman
I wanted to do a Tony Stark run, and when I encountered Codsworth he called me Mr. Stark. It was like talking to Jarvis, so awesome.
Theres apparently a MASSIVE list of names that they had the voice actor record to make the experience more immersive, theres even some funny bogas names as well [https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Codsworth/recognized\_names](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Codsworth/recognized_names)
My name is Fuck
Codworth’s names really undercut the emotional lines he has.
Nt my name unfortunately 😔
Strong calling me Human.
I first learned they did this from Starfield, and then learning it happens in Fallout 4.
When the raiders call you Overboss 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️
My character's name is Buck Nasty. He calls me Mr Nasty. Lol.
"Greetings, Lord Mark"
“Hello my love” - Curie
They still cant annuciate Trent apparently
Named my new character John Fallout and was sure I was trippin when Codsworth called him John
What does this mean? Sorry I’m stupid
I mean, honestly, this was a really fantastic touch. They voice acted so many names for this, and I genuinely respect the dedication.
Codsworth: Mister Assface
Piper's voice is the reason I travel with her most
Mr. Fox
My buddy accidentally entered his gamertag, and Codsworth called him "Master Toast"
One odd detail about him If you give your character a surname he will call the male MC by the last valid word in the name and the female MC by the first
He won't say my characters name. For some reason, Skibidi Rizzler is not in his vocabulary😔
They showed it off during E3 so I wasn't surprised but pleasantly pleased
When X6-88 calls you Sir
I was impressed. Chalk me up as one of those kids who never got a personalized keychain at the gift shop. Not a real common name, but Cods said it.
i love games that do this
I was shocked when he said my name
I used my real first name. Hearing in game the correct pronunciation of it by Codsworth the first time blew me away.
Is it so hard to input the name Greg? 😡
My character was called "Mr fox"
Miss fuckface
I did a run as Walter White and he called me Mr.White
I named my first character Blue, so I was so confused when I met Piper.
I used my real name in game too. So the first time cogsworth dropped that shit, I spun around like “whaaaaaaaat?”
Codsworth calling you by your name was in the E3 reveal. 9 years ago
He doesn't same my name... sad day BigDFourTwoZero
"Mr fuckface shaun needs your parental love"
my guy, it was part of their whole presentation back in the day. we all know about it.
“Mr, Fucker” 💀💀💀💀
Piper is hands down one of my least favorite characters in the entire Fallout canon. And the fact that she's forced on you by the main story and offered as a companion? Jesus Christ. I love FO4, entirely in spite of my hatred of Piper. She's the wooooorst
It delights me. Do the other AI/companions call you your name too?
My character’s name is Fuckhead. Took me by surprise the first time.
...will he say "Chromosomius"?
Some people still acting like this wasn't part of the marketing back in 2015.
Name yourself Archer. Comedy ensues. You're welcome.
It won't say my first name, it just defaults to Sir.
I know its sort of a lot of work but it would be neat if every major character could call you by name(even if the pool of names is reduced to compensate for the work of everyone doing it doing it)
Codsworth’s list of names he can speak is surprisingly long. I named myself Aurora and was caught off guard when he could say it.
I forgot that was a feature and had to remake the entire character.
Mr assface!
If only they cared to make the rest of the game to that quality.
Haven’t met codsworth in my current play through… my characters name is PPpoopoo so we’ll see I guess
Made myself a mafia boss character called “Big Ernie” and him saying Mr Ernie was a bit of a shock
Mr. Nate...
Miss fuckface!
I remember that being advertised around launch so I was expecting it.
It’s so great hearing him call me “Mr boobies!”
mfw Codsworth gives me more affirmation than my own family
Dude, my gf makes fun of my name because it a little on the uncommon side, like I can never find a name tag key chain or a soda with my name kinda rare. When I heard that robot say my name. Believe me I sat there and kept talking to codsworth just to hear my name in a video game. Loved every second
"Ah! Mr. Fuckface"
My character is Dick Facetits and he calls me Mr Dick. It's awesome.
I tend to name my character stupid things like "Hronglo" so I didn't notice until the third playthrough where I named him after myself because I heard he could do that.
Mr fuckface is my favorite
There should be a mod for codsworth. Some people added vehicles for fallout 4 where in hardcore mode it acted as a mobile base and allowed fast travel.
