When playing Fallout NV I often find myself thinking that the companions should really have more tactical options. Take Boone the sniper, I can't for the F#$% of me figure out why you cant open the map and select a tactical position to have Boone cover you from...I mean, the dude's a sniper. When assaulting a Legion camp, the smartest thing to do would be placing Boone on a ridge to cover you while you sneek in. NOPE, not...an...option.

Then, there is Cass. She looks small enough to be able to hide in things like bombed out cars, or behind rocks, etc. I wish it was possible to set an ambush with her. She is just camping out behind a rock, you come running by with a couple of Powder Gangers chasing you then BLAM! She pops out with her 12 gauge and ruines someones day. Just saying, it would make quests like Three Card Bounty a lot more interesting.

And what about Raul? He seems to be some sort of wizard with repair, yet he cant set traps? I don't know how many times I've had one of those damn shotgun traps blow me in the face...just once I would like to return the favour. Or maybe a grenade bundle...or at least a trip wire...

Then there is Arcade the doctor. Two words: cyanide rag. It would certainly make him much more useful for taking out single enemies at a time without making a lot of noise. And this would certainly be a welcome addition to his skill set, after all he constantly reminds me about the poor quality of his covert bandaging skills. Or at least let him bluff his way into a settlement posing as a docotr who is there to help.

These are just a few of the many things I've wished I had the option to do while playing Fallout NV, what about you?
