Killed by my own damn mercenary when i shot at a brahmin.  Does this make sense? ABSOLUTELY NOT! These mercenaries have absolutely no regard as to where they shoot and is a Major problem.  

Solution?

Edit their scripts to make the number one priority ( Only if they have Big Gun weapons ofc ) to ALWAYS shoot when they player is not in front of the shots.

If player is standing in front of merc's firing vicinity the mercenary will move/run to another location till it is no longer such a case, saving the player from a kamikaze merc.... ( since they pretty much die also since you gotta delete em if you die in random encounter.... )

I'm not whining for a refund ( caps etc.... not real money so no flame on it being free, I know ) or anything but seriously?  Mercenaries are supposed to protect you not outright blow your damn body away.  erm.. right? :/  

I am also aware this is a Beta but if your a charisma char and your own mercs are killing you its kinda.... pointless. More like just plain autistic.

But if they bot Obviously see's me in the line of fire it wouldn't ( well "shouldn't" ) shoot and should look for a alternate line.

Sorry but he is right, this is a pointless suggestion, devs are well aware that the AI is retarded. They will improve it over time. In the meantime: Get SG mercs with hunting rifles or snipers, the guards have snipers in NCR for a good reason.
