Game Skyrim Forum

with automatron, you can create your ideal companions, with excelent weapons and infinite ammo and superior carry capacity.

it makes the old companions useless, only having them until you get their perks and throw them away...

no matter how much you love the npc, the robot companion is far superior.

they should allow us to at least give a good weapon and them 1 ammo so the companion can have infinite ammo, like settlers...

idk, it's just my opinion, what do you think?

and sorry bad english

Who cares since the game isn't about min/maxing stats and normal companions still do just fine?

Companions have the same uses they always had. If the things you wanted a companion for are better served by robots then your options have expanded. But I never carried Piper or Curie along because of their combat prowess or carrying capacity, so robots aren't likely to replace them any time soon.

Robots are good for firepower and carrying, but they still can't replace actual humans/mutants/synths with personalities, so. Ada is close, but still feels unfinished.

This. So much this.

I'm still playing through Xenoblade Chronicles and the majority of threads I see about it talk about maximising DPS or "ultimate builds". I don't know why anyone would care tbh, as you can play through the game just fine, however you want to play it.

This is also very similar to the reason why I hate tier lists in fighting games. It just svcks all the fun out of it because it's about attaining perfection or "being the best possible" rather than enjoying the journey and/or the experience.

They were always useless, just dead weight. With Lone Wanderer, they are completely obsolete

I generally used companions as pack mules any way so Ada is a big improvement in that area. Other than picking out a bunk buddy, for the sleep bonus, I didn't have much use for companions. They were fun at first but when you get to the point that you have heard all their dialog for the 500th time it got stale.

Companions always been useless. If they allow us to give them weapons and 1 piece of ammo for them I might start using them again.

Companions in PA are OP.

One cool thing about a Sentry bot companion armed with dual shoulder fire missile launchers and twin gatling guns is that enemies now focus on them, intstead of making a beeline through a hectic battle straight towards the player.

I agree completely. The ammo thing really kills companion efficiency.

I want to remove the brain out of the useless companions like Piper and create robobrains with it.

That would be pretty cool to do. Have the SS go all mad scientist and put all of his/her friends brains in robot bodies.

I imagine an assaultron with Pipers voice hanging around Diamond city.

Hmm. If we could turn companions into robobrains I might finally have a use for Preston, Danse, MacCready, Strong, X6-88 and Deacon. I wonder if robot Deacon would be constantly changing his parts?

True, low end PA kind of svcks, gets blown to bits quite quickly. But high end PA tends to hold up decently.

Yeah that would be ironic, considering she's constantly accusing mcdonuts of being replaced by a robot.

Until a robot can make naive comments in a cute French accent while wearing a shiny black vaultsuit with the shaplier butt mod...

Wait- Curie's a what now?

I love Cait.

She carries a sword and turns foe robots into piles of scrap in no time.

Against humans she picks them up and body slams them allowing me to finish them off.

We make a great team.

I must admit that the robots make great provisioners though.

I'd miss Deacon's witty banter.

"You know, before I met you I'd go days without massacring a bunch of stuff. Honest."
