If you’re wandering the Commonwealth looking for a companion who throws punches first and asks questions later, Cait might be exactly what you need.

Fallout 4 is packed with random encounters that add depth to the Commonwealth, but few are as cryptic, or as easy to miss, as the “Speak of the Devil” quest. This isn’t your standard radiant quest with a quest marker and a clear objective.
