You logged out in a corner, and you were probably murdered your companion along with you. They have trouble respawning so that is the probable cause. ~pp and see if they still take up party points, if not they were unable to respawn, if so...possibly are trying to respawn and is having a script problem so you should contact a GM.
Companions can wear any type of armor=stronger than merc at later levels (seems as though they cannot switch their helmet currently)Them not respawning is a bug, also I doubt the companion disappears as you did in logout, so it may have been sitting there and been murdered.
Um, yeah i loged out in a corner, but i loged in alive. And i know for sure, that my companion was with me, in that corner. So this doesnt make any sense. I checked the PP counter. its 0 Even if i got murdered, arnt companions supposed to be permanent, regardless what happens? If they arnt, there is no reason to use them over mercs
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?
Have the ones you want with you. Then type ~disbandparty away_team this will remove the followers that are on a different map then you.
Yea, I already found 2 as well.Maybe we could gather up their spawning locations? So that we won;t have to run around locations they don't spawn,or know where to look to not just pass right beside them?
