Can Companion use Drugs ?

[lunerlineage]

I noticed that if you gave stim packs to companions they use them. Do they also use drugs and other aid items ? And if they do do they do it smartly ?

Unlikely. I've given Cait boatloads of psycho and she never touched it, so if the junkie with a psycho habit won't take psycho I'm pretty sure nobody will take anything.

Really? Ive given Cait Psycho and later its been gone?

[lunerlineage]

LOL two different responise's this is why I'm asking its hard to judge just by yourself.

To make matters worse, both of us can only report our own experience.

I gave Cait 20 psycho to see how fast she would take it, ran around getting in fights for a couple hours, then checked her inventory and all 20 of them were still there. So I took them back and sold them.

But it's possible that I just didn't do anything to trigger her "take some psycho" script. Maybe if I had played a little differently, or used chems myself, she would have used some of it. I mean, you know how if you sneak, your companion sneaks? Maybe if YOU take psycho, and your companion has some, they'll take it too.

They don't generally use chems unless you force them to.
Ala click on them, type equipitem ChemIDHere

LOL, no, that would be kind of obvious. But definitely something you need to ask about. ;)

I noticed they use Stealthboys on their own. It wouldn't surprise me if certain characters choose to use chems on their own.

I have the long deathcam mod that extends how long the game continues after my death and once I saw Piper grab my gun from my corpse and use it. I thought that was cool. Can't say I saw it happen any other time though.
