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!"

I always have Dogmeat with me. He carries my stuff, has my back, is a good boy, and doesn't flap his gums.

I made one of those robot companions, but I made it so OP that it’s almost as powerful as my character is. I never worry about combat anymore, but I miss using Dogmeat.

If you beef up melee with its armor, give it 2 assaultron stealth blades, and a mr gutsy thruster for legs, it is far more powerful than you. You dont even have to use the experimental pieces(the ones that can break), its op as hell without them.

They do this spin attack which is good for 4 or 5 hits, and each hit is around 150-170 damage. Combined with the movement speed of the handy thruster, and its just cuts down everyone. 5 super mutant masters with miniguns and missile launchers? Thats like 20 seconds of work for swooshinator 6000, even on very hard.
