Can we get a companion "don't attack unless attacked&#34

Some really good points, people. I just hope the developers take notice and implement something like this in a future patch. Maybe a talented modder could do the same. Either way, we win! :D

Yeah, as soon as enemies become "cautious" the companions start attacking them.
Which is very VERY annoying when Sneaking.

I was underwhelmed by Obsidian's 'revamp" of the companion system.

Nothing like sneaking around Quarry Junction with Veronica, lining up a shot on a Deathclaw with the AMR, and then hearing the pop-pop-pop of her highly ineffective 10mm pistol giving our position away. And yes, I'd given her a laser rifle but she always goes back to the peashooter.


10mm pistol? I've given her every weapon I've come across and no matter what - she doesn't use it. She justs uses that damn power fist all the time in my game.. and no matter how I set her to enemies (passive, aggressive, wait) that doesn't matter either, if she spots them before me, she's gone like Rambolina..

I vote yes... The companion wheel is pathetically underpowered (other than to instantly heal companions via stimpaks in hardcoe mode)... Why wouldn't such a highly touted new feature NOT include such a stalwart option of squad control as "ATTACK ONLY WHEN ATTACKED"?



I agree with alot of you, especially with Francis and the thread starter, let's keep this thread where we can see it.

Of course, they still need to fix ED-E and those random fights it is always getting into
