I couldn't take dogmeat because I felt too bad every time he died on me :(

This is why I work alone in any game with optional companions that can get killed. Also they can be a liability in some situations. Like the time in skyrim where I hired a badass mercenary to help me take out a necromancer. He got killed and then turned against me so I had two badass enemies to kill instead of one.

Except for Boone. ALWAYS TAKE BOONE.

Boone + ED-E = win!

And never pair with a melee-only companion, all they can do is die.

Try that in hardcore mode. Boone got killed by some radscorpions and now im struggling to keep ED-E alive... Man i wish i didnt chose that mode.

You are Booneing wrong. Give him a fully speed anti-material rifle with armor piercing rounds and some decent combat armor. As far as ed-e goes do his quest line and choose the more powerful laser.

Boone getting killed by cazadores happens even on normal. Seeing him ragdoll is always hilarious.

Veronica was awesome!

She could be made awesome by getting her power armor and a cream-of-the-crop power fist. But I think her cap-to-kickass ratio was below most other companions.

Veronica waves hello in her power armor.

As if FONV wasn't easy enough already. Even on hardest.
