Too easy with fawkes?!

[Satyrion]

So I did the main quest before any side quests and am lvl 12 and now i got fawkes on my team who just kills everything before I can even see my enemies. Wtf nothing is a challenge anymore it feels like am hacking is this normal?

Crank up the difficulty, or just don't use Fawkes.

But why is that even an option it’s like if u play an FPS after a while you get a weapon with auto-aim.

That is indeed the case in some FPS, some people like feeling overpowered.

But wtf you could spend 10 hours or less and get fawkes and 100% the game with all side quests without using any ammo I mean wtf why is this not mentioned in any prefessional reciews

Pretty sure your exaggerating there, I've used Fawkes before and he's not that effective, especially when you reach higher levels and enemies become a lot stronger. You also need good Karma to recruit him in the first place and you can't bring him everywhere.

We should talk hehe

Fawkes is far superior in the game once Broken Steel is installed, same with Dogmeat.

[wakeme]

get rid of Faukes , and hire a different merc . there are other mercs for hire .
Plus , Faukes can carry extra items . Weight can far exceed 300 pounds .

[bjack]

Yeah Fawkes is godmode

[NecroMaster]

If you find dog meat you won the game.

He isn’t that strong at first.
But with broken Steele added his level scaling isn’t balanced.

At level 30 he’s dealing such high damage at such a fast rating only the strongest varient of the albino radscorpion can out dps him.

Even a supermutant behemoth can’t win.

Isn't that SUPPOSED to be the point of games? To give you a power fantasy, RPG games like Fallout can easily fall into that category if you choose to play that way!

Are you saying there is a point where Fawkes just ups and buggers off?

I'm trundling around with him now. But I do prefer the loner life. I just object to the only line of dialogue you have to dismiss him. Mind you, my eyes aren't what they used to be, and he spots enemies way before I do. I suppose it isn't so bad having a companion who is both an enemy detector and a walking tank. But he keeps killing NPCs I'd rather kill myself - if I don't kill 'em there's no 'finger' to collect.

You should be able to tell him to only attack when you attack, and to hang back as well. But I play FO3 with TTW installed, so maybe my follower commands are improved FONV engine options.
