I'm a new Outer Worlds player and have just gotten to Groundbreaker. I have two companions right now, being the Vicar and Parvati.
I'm just wondering a couple of things:
- Is there any point in putting gear on a companion which boosts skills like Persuade, etc? They're not going to be choosing the dialogue options so I can't really see it being of any benefit to them, unless of course any bonus on gear which is granted to companions also gets granted to me?
- I'm not using any Science based weapons, and prefer my character to be using "old school" type weapons such as Assault Rifle etc, with Physical damage as opposed to Shock, Plasma etc. So would it be a good idea to outfit my companions with Science based weapons just in case I come up against any enemies resistant to physical damage? I've not put any skill points into Science, so will this effect my companion's damage when THEY use a Science based weapon?
Thanks.
