Is it just my Boone and Ed-e...

...who are a couple of right death wish buffoons? Set Boon to peaceful and ranged and he does his damndest to charge right up to every mob and hack its limbs off with his machette, all the while jumping in the way of my shots. As for that floating holdall, you sneak up to gat a good scoped view with the silenced sniper rifle and he starts playing martial music and losing off random blasts with his laser so your stealth crit goes out of the window, then Boone decides to join in despite the fact you chained him to a burnt out bus. Once you get inside an enclosed space thay just run off like a couple of kids in a candy store flailing away, disrupting all my nice sneaky shoot 'em in the head type plans. If it wasnt for the fact they are very useful as pack mules I would have ditched 'em long ago! Yes, 'wait here' is OK, but if the good loot is at the botton of a long vault crawl its a real pain in the posterior going back for them all the time!

ED-E is definitely a bit gung-ho in my game. I never had any real problems with Boone, but then, I also never used him much indoors (I save Veronica for that, and she can run ahead all she likes because she tears [censored] up whether the [censored] likes it or not).

LMAO, I have them two following me at the moment. Boone is good most of the time but that Flying dodgeball annoys the hell outta me, I dont know what to do with it? Cant stand the noise it makes when following behind.
