Forum:Dou you use Companions very often?

I wanted to ask this a long time: is just me or using a Companion is a pain in the arse? I mean, sure Fawkes is nearly indestructible, Paladin Cross is the better choice for the T-51b, Clover is simply lovely, Meatdog is cutte and Charon kick ass. But they are dumb as hell, don't fallow you in the wastes in a simple straight line and block your way too often. I use clover charon and dogmeat. but when i get broken steel im gonna get fawkes. Also I'm a stealth player who likes to put down my enemys from a very long distance or use my Stealth Boys to aproach them silently and make a "one shot - one kill" (or one knife in the throath, to be more accurate).

Anyone has this felling too or there's something wrong with me? Brfritos 02:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

They're really helpful at lower levels when enemies are harder to take down. But now that I'm level 30, I don't need a companion's help; I can take care of myself. Also, it's more fun to have to rely solely on yourself, IMO. :) HAZMAT82 02:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

It is funny to have Fawkes, Charon, RL-3, Cross, Jericho and Dogmeat's Puppy all at once though. Very annoying, too... ~Unholy

I carry way too much stuff with me, and I need them to haul loot. A mod called Phalanx was awesome for this, I had 8 followers at one time at one point, and could pick Evergreen Mills clean in one pass. Imp of the Perverse 06:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm a person who don't like to see named NPC's die, no matter what, so I don't bring any follow with me, and I use stealth from time to time and fawkes ain't the best at that. So no followers for me. Gabriel Cortez 08:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I only use dogmeat and only then i use him to find weapons and ammo. it's just too annoying for me to have him with me all the time so he is, at the moment, being the Vault 101 guard dog. Sasquatch99 11:08, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I prefer to go alone so i get the experience for killing my enemies jj20198

lol I use dogmeat as a pet at my home in megaton, i keep him outside cuz i heard he can disapear inside and i give him some nukacola, brahmin steak, and lots of teddy bears lol, idk why nuka cola, but its funny. I use fawkes for combat/pack mutan

most folowers are only useful to me as pack animals.

Usually I will only use Fawkes as my pack mule. But I have so much crap in my locker at megaton that I don't need Fawkes for a pack mule unless I want to sell junk.Doctalen 00:41, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I have never used any companions due to what I've read in the wiki. Namely that they tend to charge enemies while I prefer to sneak around them and get either a sneak attack in or reverse pickpocket a live grenade into their pants (did it 2 or three times this afternoon while in the bethesda ruins getting the lockpicking bobblehead.Njiord 05:28, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Companions make me sad. They're just so...frustating, i just want to kill them and put their heads in a row next to the door of my house in megaton. So, to answer your question, no, i don't use companions...ever. G4allows

companions are annoying when your running through rocks they always get stuck and because of the fact that im Chinese stealth armoured and being stealthy they just blow my cover--Hellfire soldier 16:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I did use followers but they all died...because they started to piss me off. except for dogmeat i liked him but he got killed by a super mutant. Banana420

Butch, Clover and Dogmeat are dead. The rest are alive. I want the Puppies! perk soooo bad. SuSpence95 (Talk) 23:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
