A question to those that have a companion in FO 4. Do they get in the way????
 
I took the dog and I can't say how many times I want/wanted to shoot it. When I am in the sneak mode the dog has its nose in my face blocking my shots. When running the dog cuts in front of me or runs at my side causing me to choose a slightly different path or stop to be able to go a different direction. Or blocks me and won't let me pass until it moves out in the open where I can get around it. This happens about 75% of the time while in a critical situation.
 
But the game is still fun.

I gave up on the dog for now. He keeps running to the enemy and getting beat up pretty good. I'm tires of wasting Stimpacks on him. Besides, the lack of opposable thumbs make it impossible to equip him with a Laser Rifle. Strong always gets in my way and blocks doorways. I have to 'push' him out of the way by ramming into him. I gave Cait a suit of Power Armor but she's tearing that up too fast. Running in a Power Suit can deplete the Fusion Core in a hurry. IDK if there is a way to get her out of it now.

You have to speak to Cait and initiate a trade with them in order to move items between you.

I have successfully given her a T-45 arm and a leg. I found myself a X-01 suit earler. I should go around and collect all of the Power Armor I have found already and park them at Sanctuary for later use.How do you turn the helmet light on and off? I see him turning it on the following video.
I found a video on the whereabouts of the 'Ultimate' version of Power Armor here:
 

How many of you brave souls not using Power Armor? I tried it a few times and while it does provide good protection, it just feels different. I have a couple of sets of it along with quite a few power sources.

I don't use power armor as I like to be a sneaky sniper! 

I've used the armor a handful of times and when I do I feel so overpowered it's ridiculous. I'm using much better armor than what you get at the beginning.

When you join BOS, they give you a set of T-60.

They didn't give me any T-60 armor. BTW, you got multiple posts and I got multiple notifications and they all said the same thing and arrived at the same time. Forums seem fine to me.

And then you double post too. I'm only going to press submit one time on this post, lets hope it works OK.
 
related to the feeling of being Overpowered, anyone feel that the difficulty settings aren't that hard at high levels? I died a ton on normal difficulty, and now I can tear through things easy at high levels even on survivor, granted this is to be partly expected, but I see to recall the difficulty setting being much more meaningful (bigger change) in previous games.

Yep, forums was acting weird for awhile earlier.

I feel there are a bit of balance issues with some weapons, some don't do enough damage and some do too much. It equates out to feeling like grenades and missiles are devastating, but some forms of weapons are just nerfed. The problem falls in both directions of too little and too much. It can be easy-mode with some weapons types, and it can be suicidal mode with some armor types. The drop off in both directions needs to be smoothed out a bit. You encounter some things that are just too hard and then too easy all in the same game sitting.

Brad,
 
From what you are describing about weapons VS weapons (easy vs hard), it sounds like what Bethesda said in one of their interviews is happening. Essentially one weapon is not always the correct choice for all situations. I've noticed this myself and carry several types. Doing so causes a lot of weight to be added to my inventory and reduces the amount of goodies I can carry from looted bodies.

what level must I be to get the Mark V PA?  thnx

Thoughts on SSEx, Armorsmith Extended and Clothing Armor Bat?

Anyone else carrying a lot of ammo and no weapon to use with it? I have close to 1000 rounds (as of this post) of .50 cal. and no weapon to use it with. This started almost immediately.
