As much as i would love the additional customization of henchemen using my selfmade weapons, wouldnt it lower the difficulty level when the compainions would use weapons that are upgraded to the max possible degree for each stage of your game? Isnt it part of the challenge to be able to survive a fight even with the vanilla guns of your compainions?
@Simpson3k In my opinion the difficulty must mean more stronger enemies, advanced AI (like using skill often and more reasonable, dodging the skills and so on, actually treating companions like worth targets), making fights more tactical (like enemies flanking and suppressing) but not really making companions bags of sand. They somehow managed to preserve balance of difficulty and companion value into DAI and MET. Never really had the feeling there's no reason to have the party before.
It wouldn't matter if you could choose their weapons since the companions don't hit what they are shooting at anyway. Even when they do shoot instead of just stand there waiting for you to kill all the enemies. I watched Jaal shooting at a target while on Veold and his shots sprayed all around the enemy without connecting. Very disappointing.
@onemadvagabond That's the matter of weapon accuracy which can be solved by choosing correct weapon i believe. Peebee with pistol actually hits enemies quite well but for next to zero damage. Whereas Cora with shotgun can't land a hit at a distance.
Yes at first I missed this, but it was also a head ache trying to keep all there weapons up to date, in previous games.
I am sort of okay with its absence now, but I do really miss being able to make multiple characters, as best i can tell if I make a new character my old on is completely over writen.
I don't like that. I have always enjoyed being able to make multiple play through s, and test different Ideas, some times I have ran 2 identical characters through, at the same time, and made exact opposite choices, as a way of enjoying the games diversity fully.
It seems sort of cheap that they removed that, I was very upset about that one.
