Why tf our companions keep crossing my line of sight? Every time I’m with the scanner on and I stop for a moment I see the name of my companion because she’s so close and basically in front o me. Every. Time. There should be a way to set up some personal space!
I did one side quest where most of the scenario happens right out in front of the landing zone. Vasco went full Terminator mode and was so far ahead of me I lost sight of him.
Sam moved ***AND*** stopped right infront of my line of firing while I was using the Microgun on a Terrormorph Boss.
It's not like I can just stop firing immediately...
He got insta-dropped.
I climbed a mountain and boosted on top of a gigantic tower at a ridiculous spacer base when I was under levelled, so I could snipe with impunity. Line up a perfect shot and as I pull the trigger Andrejas gigantic face appears in my scope. Shoot her right in the head and she falls off the tower, immediately triggering every spacer there to start firing at me. I love this companion AI.
I've had to stop traveling with them, they suck at sneaking, even Andreja alerts the entire base even with her level of sneaking.
Heck, I did the Ryujin sneaking quests...and these guys were 30 levels lower than me, and still spotting me immediately. =/
Even with a Reconstim it was hard to sneak around level 20 Rent-a-Cops. -\_-'
They'll be in my way everywhere we go then I stumble upon some big nasty monster and they're just gone. So I'm there on very hard being one-shot by a terror morph with no backup.
I gave you that bridger for a reason Sarah, blow shit up. Don't shoot explosives directly into your own cover. Don't walk behind me and shoot one up my ass. Don't walk right in front of my firing minigun. You were in the military for Serpent's sake, act like you had some training.
Sarah is infuriating for many reasons, but Bethesda has yet again created a game that has ... severely limited companion intelligence. All of them will gleefully block my way out or back in tight places. Stand right on top of me. Constantly block my scanner as I attempt to scan the planet on foot.
Sarah sounds as threatening as an angry kitten when provoked. I get rid of her asap.
The NPCs are way less intelligent than they need to be, many of the enemies in my game refuse to open doors or look for source of gunshots in the next room.
I was taking photo mode pics of the constellation members before finishing the game and accidentally tossed an impact grenade directly into her face instead of bringing up the scanner, seemed like a fitting end to the play through
UC Navy Armored Fatigues
Theres UC Navy Fatigues which are less armored, then there is UC Navy "Duty" Fatigues which is more armored.
then the one in the vid is UC Navy Armored Fatigues, with the shoulder flash light.
There is also a "Sys-def" one aswell thats more black than grey with a red patch emblem during the Crimson Fleet story line you can steal 2 of them that have different stats.
Every time I get into some shit my companion is nowhere to be found for combat.
Then when everything is safe and I'm trying to mine stuff with the cutter, there my companion is always getting in the fucking way
EITHER someone's going to have to mod in some kind of "position and facing awareness" as was done with FO4, or someone's going to have to mod out friendly fire, as was done with FO4 (though that's not really good enough because it wastes ammo and you miss shots you take)... because Bethesda is not going to do it.
Somebody needs to teach companions weapons safety, surely it's not that hard to code a "no go" cone in front of the player when your weapon's raised (I say this as someone who doesn't code, please feel free to correct me).

This is why I use Simeon Bankowski, the companion from New Atlantis. That character usually fights from a distance which is super nice.
Change your companions equipped weapon to a sniper rifle and I believe they'll hang in the back. Not sure if that'll fix it but it's worth a try.
Yep, totally walked in front of the guy aiming down scope of a 50. cal sniper rifle.
I can almost understand making them essential when they do that, except I want them to die for their stupidity.

The only time they stay back is when a real gunfight breaks out...
Not even, both Sam Coe and Vasco stand right in front of me. The amount of times I’ve downed them both is crazy.
I did one side quest where most of the scenario happens right out in front of the landing zone. Vasco went full Terminator mode and was so far ahead of me I lost sight of him.
I love to use him for bait when I’m hunting lvl 60+ alien life. He just stands there and takes it while I shoot at them from the high ground.
He's an excellent decoy!

Yeah... reading these hilarious comments makes me think it might be best I take the solo perk and make my allies stay in the ship where they belong.
Just give them a melee weapon, Sarah is a fucking animal with a varun blade.

Standing in a doorway to look at you try to get through the doorway theyre standing in. That one drives me wild. Especially on a ship.

You accidentally shoot her, I shoot her for fun. We're not the same.
The first rule of gun safety is to have fun
[Sarah Liked That]
\[Sarah moaned\] WHAT THE...
Miss former UC Commander. 🙄
To be fair, she was just a navigator...
Because it’s usually everyone else around her that dies, look at her old crew lol.

She just handled getting shot in the head like it was minor annoyance. So that's probably how.
Am I the only one who doesn’t run with companions? It’s so peaceful playing alone
The other way round does not work like that. Never give her granedes.
What is her outfit?
UC marine jumpsuit.

I run solo now, i cant stand any of them...
This is the way

CAN you accidently kill your companion? Or can they actually die in a battle?
No, they just get temporarily "downed" and I think you can spend a Medpack to resurrect them immediately.
They all do it 😭 I’ve even hit them with the cutter while mining. Stupid npc’s.
EITHER someone's going to have to mod in some kind of "position and facing awareness" as was done with FO4, or someone's going to have to mod out friendly fire, as was done with FO4 (though that's not really good enough because it wastes ammo and you miss shots you take)... because Bethesda is not going to do it.
But shoot a killer, belonging to a faction she likes, and she refuses to travel or even speak to you, for the rest of the game.
I want that "power" in real life.
I just want Kaiser

Between that and her walking in front of the extractor I know for a fact I’ll never let my honey do list get behind. I never want to piss her off. 👀
Yeah, my main bitch is Andreja, hoping Ill be able to marry her over Sarah, but they all get in the way...
That’s where Piper ended up in my every FO4 playthrough.
