They never fix me breakfast.

There is no "ONE" thing.....

No romance for Deacon or Nick - Let me get with Bethesda Varric or the Toaster Detective dangnamit!


Complaints about my hoarding. YES IT IS USEFUL NOW SHUSH!


No change in Danse after Blind Betrayal. Come on, surely that calls for a bit of an attitude adjustment?


Lack of a meter or something to let you know what your relationship is with your companions, especially Strong.


(On consoles) Can't get Danse out of Power Armor. You're going to give me a companion that ripped but I can't admire the view? That's just cruel.


Oh, and the strange need of nearly every companion to have a heart to heart in the middle of battle. Yes I'm happy we're friends but we're going to die!

So many of them are just so damned judgemental about well... Every single thing.


I get a real chuckle when my hired mercenary gripes about every single thing his employer does... Sheesh, man.. Just do your job and shoot things!

Gave my other wedding ring to Cait and equipped it on her expecting some kind of comment but she didn't say a word ]:

They:

1. Block passageways.

2. Often move with and parallel to you when you attempt to move around them.

3. Walk away when you need them.

4. In close quarters, they are often so close to you that the barrel of their weapon extends past the player character into his field of view.

5. When silence and stealth are common sense requirements, they jabber away like magpies and often stand up and walk out in front of the player- the latter of which sometimes alerts the enemy to your presence.

6. In combat, they all too often just act as a bullet sponge / meat shield.

The enemy AI is far better, although that can always be improved. The companion AI and the lack of a true challenge even on Survival mode are the only serious issues which I have with this game. The rest of it is generally very good. All in all it's well worth the investment, but cmon- the player manages strategic resources- hell, even screws- but food or even one hours' sleep will heal major injuries, and the player doesn't ever have to eat, drink, or sleep to stay alive.

When they repeat things over and over and over... it makes me want to whip out a missile launcher.

Really can only think of one thing: repetitive comments. When I have traveled with them for quite a while, they start to repeat themselves a lot. That's when I know it's time to get a new companion for a while.

Imo, Bethesda really did a great job improving companions. They made them interesting and more fleshed out with the personal quests. I can't think of any ways to improve on Dogmeat, unless it would be to do something about that pitiful whining when he gets hurt (that is heart wrenching).

edit: Sometimes I just can't get to him with a stim and it is difficult to focus on a battle when I know he is hurt.

standing in doorways

-standing in narrow passages

-standing on staircases

-standing on your face

everything to block your free access

- they repeat things over and over and over...and dont shut up

When I'm aiming with a sniper rifle, just about to take a shot, and my view is suddenly filled with nothing but my companion's backside. That and constantly muttering at the dog to get out of the way (though that does amuse my kids)

ruin sneak for me

this.

a million times this.

and everything that Strong says.
