Another vote for Boo from BG2. :)
I like Sulik from Fallout.
Navi from The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time

"HEY LOOK!"
Minsc with a close second Boo.

WeR138: Noober from Baldur's Gate. While not technically a NPC, he stuck with me like a brother.
Man, if my brother was like Noober...I would have gone on a killing spree, starting with him, before I turned 5.

The companion cube from Portal, the sacrific it made is the most moving moment in gaming..... no human history. FACT.
If we can choose a NPC companion that doesn't actually accompany you in quests, my vote goes to (Malkavian) Heather Poe from Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines.
99% of companions you folks mentioned are unknown to me.

My favorite is Virgil from Arcanum.
By Azura, by Azura, by Azura. It's the Adoring Fan from TESIV: Oblivion oO

elendiel7: I don't understand why Lydia would be chosen. She has no character development, and she lacks any back story. Her dialog options consist of just ordering her around, looking into her inventory and asking what a housecarl is.
Well, TES games are a lot about building your own story. I feel it's not necessarily about personality of Lydia but about what do you get trough with her. Doesn't mean she wouldn't be way better if she actually had some bloody personality :D I guess that's why I really like the vampire girl from Dawnguard

Some of the companions in Skyrim have a bit of personality, Serana and Jenassa (despite being one of the first companions you may find, and her fairly low level cap, Jenassa has a LOT of random dialogue) come to mind, the housecarls tend to have none though, which is a real shame. If you want a companion with plenty of personality who also happens to be useful, Dremora Lords are the way to go.
Dogmeat from Fallout 1!
No love for the companion cube?

Poor cube. :(

nyc1975: For me, honestly, I'd say the rogues of Diablo II. I don't know. I mean they're helpful because of their bows and all. Plus they're probably hot IRL. LOL. Yeah, I guess that's it.
Depends on what class you have. :P The act 2 henchmen (on nightmare difficulty) are pretty good too with their freezing aura.

BranjoHello: 99% of companions you folks mentioned are unknown to me.

Virgil is awesome indeed. But sometimes companions in Arcanum can be really sensitive. I hate when they turn against you when you attack a well-disposed beeing like an animal (just by accident of course, or if neccessary due to a quest). Especially Virgil seems to lie in wait for every bad deed I could possibly commit. Or they turn against you for no apparent reason which I've never experienced in any game before.
Anyway, I was amused at Virgil getting mad after I applied the fertilizer to him...
