Companions cannot be healed/ slowly lose health

Post » Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:41 pm

Does anyone else have the issue, that the companions die for no reason? In my case I have the issue with Boone. Every time he gets attacked, his health will slowly drop and there is not a antidote or stimpack that heals him. So every time he dies, which is a pain in the @$@#$%@#.

I was already 50+ hours and level 30 in the game, when the game froze everytime i engaged an enemy. Because of that issue I had to use a savegame of 25 hours before.

Now with "patch" 1.02 i have the problem (next to all the other issues the game has): my companion slowly dies and there is nothing to do about it.

So, did anyone have the same issue?

I have also had this issue, telling a companion to use stimpaks do nothing, but still takes them out of their inventory

I had this happen to me as well. I believe that the companions are becoming poisoned without anyway to heal them. I had rose die on me mid swim when raising the plane for the boomers. Not really sure if this "problem" existed pre patch or not.

I've noticed both of these things as well. Veronica will just drop dead a few seconds after having fast travelled somewhere. Its happened a few times now.

Also, companion poisoning seems to be a new thing. I'm not sure if its a bug, or is intentional. Basically, after a Cazador battle, Veronica will rapidly continue to lose health, and its costing me loads of stimpacks to keep her alive. The poison wears off after a while, but it takes 4 or 5 stimpacks to keep her alive each time.
