Are my followers good?

Are my followers good? Here are my followers:

SkyNet: 115 HP (I just got him)
M72 Gauss Rifle
Built-in armor (The equvilent to Combat Armor, so pretty good for not being able to have armor.)


Marcus (Shrekus): 205 HP
Avenger Minigun/ Vindicator Minigun/ Plasma Rifle/ YK42B(?) Pulse Rifle/ Bozar/ Plasma Grenade Spamming (lol)
No armor, so can die very easily to machine guns.


Sulik: 160 HP
HK G11E/ M72 Gauss Rifle/ .223 Pistol
Advanced Power Armor Mk 1 (Never takes more than 30 damage, even before any armor, idk why.)

K-9: I think its 120-150 HP
Teeth

Previous followers:

Myron (Dead, and annoying, but still good w/ energy wreapons.): 126 HP
HK P90c (Always JHP ammo, idk why.) YK32 Pulse Pistol/ Phazer/ Modded Laser Pistol
Power Armor (Regular)

Cassidy (a.k.a, Dirtty Harry, with his .44 Magnum) (Decided to ignore him forever, I hate him.)
Sniper Rifle/Assault Rifle (He would always end up hitting me/killing me with the AR.) .44 Magnum/ Deagle
Combat Armor MkII

Vic (Dead, and died so quick, wtf. He was my personal repairman slave.): 70 HP
Metal Armor MkII
Sniper Rifle
(Got him the first chance I got, I needed followers.)

Cassidy and Sulik are the only ones i ever use really.

[psychotron666]

Sulik and Vic are the best companions hands down. When Vic gets max level, he has 195% in energy weapons and a good repair as well which you can get him to repair things for you.

Sulik is really good if you give him a super sledge, and watch him destroy your enemies.

Skynet, K9 and marcus are kinda meh. None of them survive the endgame with me, they cant even make it through the enclave base, while sulik, vic and cassidy can survive all the way to the battle with Frank Horrigan.
The problem with these guys is that you cant give them power armour, which makes them very fragile for the end of the game, even marcus with his insane amounts of health means nothing when enclave guys are using plasma rifles and mini guns.

[psychotron666]

There's also Goris, the Deathclaw companion. He's fragile like Marcus, but he gets a crapload of attacks like the dogs and does lots of damage. better than any of the dogs hands down.

Marcus and Goris are good companions til you start going up against enclave soldiers. Marcus is good for mariposa base if you give him a rocket launcher, he can do high damage output, just fragile is all.

Skynet is good for his science, but considering you need something like 180% science to get him in the first place, it's kinda pointless, and hes only mediocre as a combatant. But still, it's cool from a story perspective to get him as a companion.

Myron just sucks nuts all the way around. He's really only there as an option for an evil karma character really, as Sulik, Cassidy and Goris wont follow you if you're evil. (i think goris might stay if you fall to evil karma with him, but you need good karma to even get into the vault to talk with him, otherwise you gotta kill his deathclaw buddies, and he doesnt take kindly to that).

Meh. My best playthroughs have been with Marcus, Sulik, and Cassidy, but I hate Cassidy because he always killed me whenever I gave him an AR. (Before I had Combat Armor, at that point, If your foes have combat armor, the AR is kinda crap, from what I've seen. It does like 20 damage MAX in burst mode, with AP rounds. ) The best gun for Marcus from my experience is the Bozar. Thats kinda why I use him. He can snipe anything, and he one-shot Enclave Soldiers with one burst. He can also still take a decent amount of damage, even from high-end single shot weapons like the Gauss rifle, because he still has the AC from his agility, and the enemies just dont have enough AP to shoot 2+ rounds of a pulse rifle, and Marcus alsmot never takes crits from single shot weapons, but end-game MG's such as the G11E 24/7 kills him with barely 2 bursts. But something like a 10mm SMG, does nothing, maybe 6-20 damage. Sulik is also very good with SMG's and the 14mm Pistol/.223 Pistol, since they have the SMG frame. But, I will highly consider the companions/setups you said you used.


Oh, and after I beat the game, why can sulik now use almost any gun except Big Guns? He can use the PUlse Rifle, Gauss rifle, Assault rifle, 10mm pistol, and so on?

Oh, and Marcus had only died twice through my entire 2nd playthrough. It was because I killed him on accident.

Dogmeat, best companion you could ever get.

Not if you can't find the Café of Broken Dreams or ended up shooting the pooch to death after getting there!

@OP When it comes to Cassidy I generally give him a scoped hunting rifle and make him "snipe the enemy", so I can kite the S.O.B.'s and say: "Brilliant, thanks John Cay!"

Give him a Gauss Rifle if possible. He will shag nans 24/7.
