I've heard that Ed-e can be used as a workbench after finishing the dlc. That's great for Ed-e but Veronica's perk comes that less appealing then.

Yep. That's the first thing I thought when I realized ED-E can do it now.

svcks for her.

Sure, you could leave Veronica behind. But then she can't do the punchie for a scrunchie.

Yeah, but she is still one of the best combat companions.

Veronica's combat AI seems too screwed up for her to be useful anyway.
