By far the most essential character in the game is.... me. I shouldn't die too. Why do I die? I should just collapse, wait about 30 seconds then regain consciousness; none of that die - reload savegame bull. (joke joke). On a more serious note, I do agree it ruins the RPG experience when companions or other NPCs cannot die, especially if they are irritating to the point you wish to get rid of them in game. I hear you all. Fallout 4 is still awesome though - it is what it is.
