SealJuice Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Possible Mild Spoilers Ok, so I think I am all hardcore and was glad companions could die on me. But...this is getting ridiculous. Companions always die way too easy. Companions only last a few hours of play. I do not rush into combat. I am a sniper. Boone is following at a distance and Veronica is in Metal armor. Ed-E was destroyed because he rushed into battle at suicide odds. Boone was ambushed by Cazadores. Veronica lost a fight one on one with a feral ghoul. Cass was killed because an NCR MP attacked on the strip and every NCR and Securitron joined in- again, suicide odds. The AI needs to know when to run and use stimpacks. I spend every battle running up to my companions and constantly checking their health. It's silly. I am now going to set my companions essential, but it doesn't feel right. What do you guys think about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revelationjp Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I had the same experience. I love hardcore mode, having to eat, drink and sleep really adds to the immersion. I found a mod that makes companions essential even in hardcore, and I love it. I roleplay it by sending companions who fall unconsious back to my suite to "recover from their wounds." sometimes, the game is what you make of it.

Akimb0 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You could always just set them to nonessential using the console. Considering how dumb the AI is, it's only fair heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so to but they never seem to use the stimpacks I give them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
