Finally got companion, two of them, in fact. But, I ended up with Melee/Big Guns.
Wait, if they say they're proficient with Flamer/Rocket Launcher, that just means Big Guns in general, right? Because they'd have a higher big guns skill? So I could probably give my companion an m60?
Same thing with melee, she said 'Spears and sledgehammers' but I could give her a ripper/super sledge?
Btw, if I level them up, will all their combat skills get higher? So I could eventually use my melee companion with a pistol?
