Good evening all, I just want to add my 2 pence into this topic. I feel that, considering i die in 2 hits as i have heavily spec'ed into damage at range, my companions dying is fine as it is but i would like to have another couple of inventory slots for consumables where they will use adreno and any buff item i want them to use during combat to try and keep themselves alive. This would then prolong their life expectancy and mean i no longer have to micro-manage them to keep them alive in combat or put them on passive. Additionally they could do with improvements to their AI whereby they actively seek out cover during combat and either move to cover further away from the enemy when set to range or move to cover closer when in melee. If changing the UI to accept consumables and modifying the AI code to better their self preservation is not workable then maybe just increase their innate toughness on supernova difficulty so we are not spending so much time with out companions being nothing more than trophy "wives/husbands/partners in crime/grime and other"
