    No way! Really?! It's like this is the first time they have ever implemented companions into a game like this then. I mean, at least they don't die permanently. If that is the case, I honestly don't know what they were going for with trash companions then. Like, yeah there are several perks you can take to make it better. I haven't tested a full leadership build (+perks), but I suspect that they balanced them around the bonuses provided in doing so, maybe to try and make leadership more viable?

    They have good gamage and good abilities...but without leadership they dies to fast. ) With leadership 60 they are a bit tougher (+30%hp compulsory) but aoe wipes them

    Update: They are so useless that when I was doing the platforming to get the 'mind control ray' science weapon. One of my companions fell to their death, and then "left the party". I have to redo the entire dungeon now. Great work! I am at the point where I am just gonna say screw the story and interactions. I'll just go lonewolf. I have had to reload against mantis, because when they  (my companions) follow me around like headless chickens they get hit by aoe and DIE. I have Parvati with over 120 armor rating and she still can't survive ANYTHING. It is so, SO dumb.  Keep in mind I do NOT have my companions on aggressive, they are passive, or defensive at all times. So they are getting killed by the environment, and speaking of environment in that same dungeon I nearly lost BOTH of my companions to the area where the steam vents, because they just stand in it and die. I had to rush through the whole section as fast as I could before they dropped health and died (not like it mattered, see above).

    Like just when I think it's bad enough, the idiocy just gets worse and worse. I wanted some challenge, supernova is not a challenge, it's just an annoyance. Woe to me if I have to actually play in a lower difficulty not because I am having a rough time, but because my brain dead, glass (not cannon) companions die over and over, and over to the most idiotic things. The fact that the ai can't even jump properly and if I hadn't reloaded I would have lost one of my companions, is unbelievable. I am literally just wondering now, what's next? Like Christ almighty. 

    Side note, has anyone tested the "DON'T GO DYIN ON ME" perk in supernova? It says you can revive downed companions with a quarter health by using your inhaler. I haven't taken it or tested it, because it is a useless perk, but was just wondering. 

    Wanna good joke?) They die in normal too))) From 3-4 hits) looks like they are useless anywhere
