I'd be willing to bet the lone wolf build is still superior in anyway than a high leadership build. Especially if having 60 leadership means they still die to packs. It's just too hard to micro them, and too annoying. So much simpler to just solo everything on your own, safer too. Getting hit is a joke with the amount of adreno you find, so even if you don't have high regen it doesn't matter at all, plus you can just kite packs and reset them. So, I'd argue there is only one viable build in Supernova, and that is lone wolf.
Well I'm not at endgame yet but Im having 0 trouble with a high leadership on supernova. However I play the game the way I like and not to be able to kill everything with ease at any difficulty. I dont mind to struggle from time to time and to reload the game that's what high difficulty is about. For me companions make the game much more fun so I'd rather always have a bit invested in them so they can stick around and live.
Probably lone wolf is would be better performing but I'd rather just enjoy the game exactly the way I like instead of looking how to get the strongest possible build.

Yeah, SAM is a really good companion. A primal behemoth will kill him still, but I found that he could fight most other enemies fine, like he could charge into a marauder group, or the like, and kill them plus tank them. Probably the best companion in the game, I talked about him in an earlier post I think.
From what I have gathered from what you are saying, it looks like the companions being such trash has to be completely on purpose. The only way to make leadership an effective build would be to make companions trash, because otherwise why would you invest any points in them? I don't think I like the inclusion of this skillset then. I mean it's a cool idea on paper, but playing low leadership with companions is an utter annoyance. The problem is, if what you say is actually true, then like I have questioned before, the only viable build with companions is high leadership. So if you want to use them (in supernova) then you better be playing high leadership. So any other build you might want to play would be sub-standard, unless you decide to go lone wolf, and invest in personal skills.
I wouldn't say that you need high leadership for them to be effective. 50 leadership is more than enough for them to stay alive while shooting things down from a safe range. Just don't think that they are going to tank stuff on supernova all the way to the end with 50 leadership. Companions are perfectly balanced in my opinion. If you don't want to invest at all in them then they are going to die a lot in supernova but with 3 levels of investment into leadership they will become pretty decent and as long as you order them to keep their distance you'll be fine. That's what supernova is about you gotta use a bit of tactics if you want then to survive you can't just storm into mobs and expect them to be unscratched. However I think that they shouldnt permadie on any difficulty but a concussion debuff stack on every death would be reasonable.

The saving isn't as bad as you think. You can just save in one of the many instances in each zone. It autosaves as you enter or leave one. So for example, in emerald vale, you can just walk into the community center for a save at the center of the map. You don't even have to sleep very often either, just drink caffeinated drinks which will sate your thirst, and keep you going.
I'm not saying they are weak, their damage is fine. They just end up dying so quickly. I am curious how you actually got through the beginning of the game if you played like that. The weaker enemies my companion and I can burn down quite easily, but if I get one more powerful enemy focusing on them they are dead - very quickly. My build consists of only 20 leadership, and a little bit higher determination (I think). The companion skills are strong, but you gotta be really careful because once you use them they are in the fight and enemies will attack them. Stuff like primals with N-ray will nuke them.
Thing is with a proper solo build your character can kill enemies extremely quickly as well. You can kill a large group of marauders with a sniper utilizing time dilation (1-shot headshots) or just run in with an acid machine gun, and mow everything - whilst having high temperament (regen) is another one.
I prefer to play with the companions since they are interesting and decided since i'm gonna use them i'd invest in their skills so now they do pretty much all the fighting for me until i get up to lvl 26ish just cuz i love that 50% exp bonus from companion kills.
At the beginning of the game i've set Parvati to ranged only and when fighting the big brute things i've ordered her to stay at range while i was kiting the big mobs and she was still shooting and helping me with them. Until level 8 Parvati was dying a lot if i'd send her straight into the fight but since i got SAM i barely do any fighting myself i just let sam charge in first and Parvati then paralize the strongest mob with her action skill. Lvl 21 or 22 now and since i got SAM i've used about 3 or 4 healing items to heal them. I've had quite a few reloads cuz one of them may die if i get too ****y but what i'm trying to say is that companions are not weak in any way they are just as tough as you if not more! But if you're not going to invest in Leadership then don't expect them to do much in fights. At 100 Inspiration skill they have 200% dmg bonus and they melt everything on Monarch with ease. By the time i get to hit something the mobs are already dead... -
I think I've noticed something like this too but I've always thought that I'm just imagining that there was loot in that corpse beforehand lol...

Playing in Supernova difficulty companions are completely, and utterly WORTHLESS. There is no point using them unless you invest HEAVILY into companion perks (leadership). Other than SAM even with the best possible HEAVY armor I can find, they die in just a couple hits. SAM can last in average fights, but might as well put him on passive fighting anything strong, he's dead otherwise. God forbid you try to have a melee companion. Supernova difficulty seems to be exclusively for Lone Wolf, or a pure leadership build. Otherwise, your entire crew will be in the grave.
Currently, I have crewmates who are just set to passive or defensive, who follow me around like a non-combat pet from Pillars of Eternity. I have them tag along, because obviously I want them around for the story, and whatever dialogue they might have at locations or to NPC's - otherwise I actually would have taken the Lone Wolf perk. This is absolutely ridiculous, and, in my opinion, companions need a complete overhaul for supernova difficulty. I am not asking for them to be stronger, just not dead after every single damn minor skirmish forcing me to reload, not because I am having trouble, but because they die. Be wary of enemies with aoe, they will die to that too. Primals will kill them pretty much instantly, even if they are on passive if they get hit.
I'm playing on supernova too. Since I got SAM at about lvl 8 or 9 I've been having the companions kill everything for me. So I'm rocking with Parvati and Sam and parvati set to ranged only and Sam to mellee. Up to level 15 I've had 30 leadership and they've been doing really well killing loads of stuff really easy and only dying sometimes in massive gun fights with 6+ enemies and that's without using any healing items for them. At lvl 15 now same companions and I'm clearing the monolith danger zone with the high level enemies and had to bump my leadership skills both to 60 for my companions to survive and still I let them kill 99% of the mobs due to the extra exp they give with the perk. So companions are really strong you just gotta play it smart and use their action skills wisely.
I'm barely shooting any guns or swinging any weapons on my lvl 15 character I usually just stay and watch and just activate the companions action skills when I have to.
So companions on Supernova difficulty are NOT weak AT ALL!

When this game was released, I was pleasantly surprised. It looked like a combination of Fallout and Mass Effect.
But after a few hours of playing, I started to see the mediocrity that Obsidian is known for.My biggest complaint is that the main character is an emotionless husk. Why spend all my time at the character creation, making a human being, while I can only act as an eunuch?
No flirting, no camaraderie (besides fetch quests for your team), no romance and barely any friendship. Why surround me with characters, if I can barely interact with them anyway?Whatever I can do in Outer Worlds, I can also do in Fallout 4 and more. And I know Fallout 4 doesn't have the best dialogue in the Fallout series. But Outer Worlds isn't better either. That and Fallout 4 has so many mods, and isn't Epic Store exclusive.
When I compare Pillars of Eternity 1 to 2, I can see so many improvements. Maybe Outer Worlds 2 would be better, but currently I see more roleplaying in GTA online, and I don't even own that game.
Outer Worlds. 4/10
OMG another troll!

Companions main skills that are shown in the companions stats tab are the ones that boost your own by some percentage. As for what weapons they prefer... No idea but I've had parvati using the unique machine gun found in the first area and she was wrecking everything with it until I've got her a flamethrower. So I'd say they are proficient in all weapons probably.
-
In the beginning of the game I've noticed that my items were degrading a lot but then I took the perk that makes them degrade slower and now somewhere at the middle of the game my companions started doing a lot of the work for me so I haven't repaired anything for the past 6-7 hours or so.
I'd say I'm fine with how it is at the moment but they could lower it down a bit for few things like the hunting rifle for example cuz 1.5% per shot is a bit steep...

I absolutely love the colours of the game. It's what make it different and unique and NOT another Fallout game.
I suppose you can fiddle with control panel colour settings if you're on PC or your TV maybe if you're on console. Make a custom profile and you can pretty much have it the way you want.

Actually companions are great on supernova. They are my main dps. Currently lvl 15 at the Monarchs danger zone landing pad and my companions are clearing the way for me. I barely have to heal them and the dps they do is OP. I've about 60 skill points invested in the leadership skills and man companions are good. Currently using parvati and Sam. Playing on supernova and have parvati set to ranged while Sam is doing most of the tanking.

I just installed a fresh copy of windows 10 and still game wouldn't even download. Every time it downloads it just starts all over again.
My system is more than capable of running it on ultra settings 1440p all drivers are up to date. Video/Audio drivers, Microsoft visual C++ , Direct X , Net Framework everything...
The download was corrupting on both windows 7 and now on windows 10 Pro.

I don't know how gaming companies get fooled by EGS but first Borderlands 3 and now this. Boredlands 3 had few good issues in EGS and now Outer Worlds just keeps infinetely downloading.
Please do yourself a the Players and Yourself a favor dear Obsidian and let us play the game on steam.
Players pay for the game and can't enjoy it in the weekend because of those issues with EGS.
Thanks for that.
I'm not even going to bother anymore with it just gonna ask for refund and wait to play it on the one platform that i'm gonna be sure it'll run! -
Absolutely the same issues. I had it yesterday and played it on Win 7 for 1 hour and had 100 crashes in that time roughly every 1-2 minutes a crash.
I verified it today and it just started re-downloading and then finished and started re-download again and again... What a piece of ****... -
So i through a 100 crashes in 30 minutes i barely managed to get to Hawthorne's ship. There i had another 100 crashes in 10 minutes time and now every time i exit the ship and finish the dialog with the NPCs there the game ...crashes...
Running on Windows 7 64bit. Ultra settings (GTX 1080ti) . I've tried closing all background apps such as steam, MSI Afterburner, Precision X1, Riva Tuner etc...
Updated to the latest drivers .
So far for me the game is unplayable...
Update: It gets better! I just verified the game files in epic games launcher and now after the verification passed to 100% the game is re-downloading it's whole 38GB!
Wonder what other surprises it got waiting for me.
Update: So the game downloaded and installed and without even touching anything it just restarted downloading again from 0%...
Thank you for choosing Epic Games dear Obsidian. They are truly the best Epic Fails.

Did you give her all the quest items that you got from Rose weld or whatever the place is called? If she's to give you the navkey you have to give her all 3 items you find for the quests in the scientists place and not give them to the scientists.
So if you didnt give her all those items and just told her about what you've done there the only choices you have are to buy the navkey or land in the danger zone on Monarch
