Starting to aggressively dislike SAM
Right now, I think SAM would win a competition between him and Preston Garvey about game mechanics ruining a character. Preston gets a lot of flak for handing out settlement quests. But at least if...

I'm either ok and non ok with SAM. It's like having this relative we love, but that sometimes is annoying? Same difference really.
My biggest problem is the way he keeps telling me "Pathfinder.. you have new email at your terminal." And I never do!
That and the constant barking about Mining Zones. I get it when you're low level.. it's there to introduce you to the mining mechanic in the Nomad, but does he really need to persist through the entire game? If you're level 80 wearing all crafted gear.. I think you know about how to get resources.
I don't understand why he has to speak so often.. it's really annoying.
The fact that he is in brain should translate by other means or senses rather than just by the ... what, the ethereal mind-audio channel? If there's something of interest, enhance it visually. If you're on a mining zone, enhance that "G". If you are in a lv 500 hazard zone, enhance things visually.
I'm also aware that we have public that might have eyesight problems, colorblind and other things that can be troublesome, if there are no sounds for supportive orientation. For that, I think the gameplay menu could have the option to make SAM more visually-oriented or sound-oriented. However, even sound-oriente as it may, NOT make him behave as if we just got terminally affected by Alzheimer.
