Also, my first major complaint about the game, the companion AI is absolutely horrible. I have been playing with just dogmeat, but decided to take Piper on a mission to goodneighbor.
First of all, since I lost my lone wanderer perk, I had to give her a ton of **** to carry (this included 25 stealth boys). DO NOT GIVE COMPANIONS STEALTH BOYS UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO USE THEM. As we were walking through the streets of Boston I engaged a building full of raiders. I was going about clearing it with Piper no where in sight. Meanwhile gunfire erupts in a building next door and she has apparently aggro'd super mutants. Not that big of a deal after I dispense with the Raiders I go next door and take out super mutants, still no sign of Piper.
I continue on to goodneighbor (had not found it yet so couldn't fast travel. When I find it, Piper says something, I spin around looking for her and can not find her. After a few seconds of searchin,I find that she is ****ing invisible. Hoping it is just a glich, I enter goodneighbor. After the greeting, i turn around to find piper, fully visible now. When I go to trade with her I see she only has 2 stealth boys left.
I immediately fast traveled home and got all my stuff back from her, left her with only a right leg combat armor that I equipped over her red trench coach so that she was left in her panties, and dismissed her ass back to Diamond City. Wish I could have had one of my settlers follow her with the Shame Bell from GoT.
