Out of the companions that I have traveled with (Dogmeat Rex, Cass, Arcade, Raul, ED-e, and briefly Lilly) My favs are Rex and Raul. A little R&R never hurt :whistling:
Boone and ED-E basically keep anything from touching me while im sniping something else,thou Boone seems to have a range limit before he equips his rifle and shoots.
He still glitches with the machete pulling it out then putting it back 5 or 10 times in a row or he puts his hunting rifle in his machete sheath.
