*sigh*Plain and simple - no.
You're generalizing and simplifying again.How's that even possible?
Unlike Sword Coast L, Fallout 4 is not MMO.
I tried out Strong briefly, and retired him to harvest veggies. There is only one companion worthy enough to travel with me, that would be Dogmeat.
Once or twice I did enjoy hiding behind Strong then racing out to smack the bejesus out of opponents with my axe…..but now I have a killer sword instead. Never thought the axe and tooth would get retired.
