when is Junk drone coming?

[Redarmy]

So we are never getting friendly follower NPCs which is an awful decision as SP can feel quiet and lonely as all hell and ruin immersion,so when are we getting the junk drone ?

Mr. Handy can stay in Fallout for all I care. ;)

No, the drone is what we get before gold. TFP decided taming was too much work to add considering all the stuff they still need to do.

The drone thing is just stupid idea in my opinion.

The game isn't Fallout enough for them.

How so?

Why do we need a companion? The turrets are bad enough. Instant NPC to help you fight. Just drop it down and let it shoot zombies in the back while you back away. Challenging.

I don't think that's the idea behind the drone... remember that Ted (that's how I call it since you can put a Teddy Bear mod on it) is a TOP TIER tool that will probably mostly be used by the INT tree guys.

Since the INT guy is the one less protected, that's a way to give that attribute something to strive for. Sure, anyone could spend tons of money to buy a drone, but it'll probably be like the turrets and be most effective only when coupled with the INT tree perks.

In my mind I picture Ted like the ones in X-COM : War of the Chosen used by the tech guys: they're a tool to be used in battle for detecting, healing and even some fighting, but it's just a support tool after all.

... and it's cool!

I thought the drones are going to be after us, I thought we were gonna have to fight them. Anyways, my view still stands and I agree with Gifford... we dont need them.

why dont we need them? thats insane. They add interesting new offensive abilities especially for people who play single player. your statement is silly.

I play single player fine without additional assistance. Turrets only make things easier. Wow, dance in circles around your turret and let it do the work. The zombies don't even target it.

Guys, we're talking about a game here lol
Of course some things are not needed, but if they are fun the more the merrier!

By your logic they should have never added the motorcycle or the jeep since the minibike is already enough. Com'on guys! Let's have some fun here!
