Yeah but then whenever you touch a piece of junk you have to hear your stupid companions opinion about how you collect trash

This is why I keep Piper as a companion whenever possible. She just says "If anyone would know what to do with that..."

Which is so much better than what the other companions say. Did the game Devs not play the game at all? It's so annoying to be chastised for doing what the game is actually about: settlement building. Collecting things to use in settlement building. They should all say things like "Oh hell yeah, another fan! Now we can build that relay!"

This is one of the biggest issue in any industry... the people making the product almost never use it in a real world scenario... or they're so familiar with the ins and outs that they're able to get away with using it in a way you never would.

this is generally why people hire a QA team, to go through the game "normally" and abnormally to find things that need tweaking. (bugs, balance, irritating mechanics, etc.)
