heres some classic quote: "if you die, then you DIE, nuff said", if you lose hi-tech items while dying, then why the hell mercs would be like "oh hello, you woke up from your grave? then let us join you!"...?

C'mon, it's a good idea for sure, if the mercs lost their loot (equipment) but didn't loose their lvl on death, and their replication would be high enough to be costly (%from the original price +some like ~2% per lvl) that would be awesome, I can assure you, and people will finally use the damn CHA for some real purpose, this opens a huge variety for build ideas.

Why should this game be even more about waiting and playing to really start playing Fallout way (with followers)?

The price could be bigger but again, not so many people run around with 5 mercs, just people in bigger factions... it could encourage leader builds, at the same time making different builds

Agreed, there is enough waiting in this game as it is.

It wouldn't. The "we lose guns you should lose mercs" argument is stupid because guns and ammo are easy to get, mercs and caps aren't. You can't craft a merc, you can't trade in trash items for a merc and they cost about 4 to 20x more than your guns and armour.

Leader builds are the most ...  Unique build in the game.  It has special needs, that other builds don't.

A leader build by itself is almost completely useless in a high tier fight.  It needs mercs ..  OR ELSE.

Mercs and other followers ARE the Leader build, the character, without em he is nothing. any other build can just grab a cheap gun and run right back into the fight.  A Leader can't just grab a shitload of caps and rebuy an entire contingent of mercs because of how god damn hard it is to get caps.  any other build DOES NOT need caps to be efficient.  Only Leader builds.  I honestly think they need this, they deserve it for all the grinding the constantly do UNLIKE other builds which only have to grind once, not continously.

We are a minority that only we understand.  :'(

I think you should lose a base when you all of faction members die at least once. To be honest such advantage of leader builds would bring more balance to powerbuild PvP

that and unless the leader build has high sneak (massive pain to lvl btw) he's just going to get blown away one shot and lose all the mercs anyways.

Players don't loose their lvl on death, why should his mercs loose? And I believe that the wasteland is all about the friends support, mercs should be just as faithful as people are, they should return to you if you die.
