    The newest feature of Fallout 4 is that companions won't be able to die. They'll be injured and unable to fight, but they'll still follow you around until they recover. What do you think about this?

    Wasn't New Vegas like that? I've played it recently and I've never been able to actually kill off my own companions.

    I'm not really sure, I think that you're right although I never tested when I played New Vegas.

    I think that this feature is very interesting. It adds some extra challenge to the game and I completely agree with the fact that there is no fun without the challenges! :) Who else agree with me?

    I've found that it is a good feature. It is kind of weird they just kind of follow you around until they recover. I guess it's better than losing them altogether.

    I agree with you on that. It is an odd feature, but once you get used to the companion being disabled for a little while, it's not that big of a deal. I like the feature overall.

    Yeah, it took some time to get used to it but I love that we don't lose our companions in Fallout 4 no matter what. It's an interesting feature!

    I kind of like the way it is now. It would suck to just lose the companion and not get them back until you die and reload the game. I think they did a good job with the companion system.

    I think it's a good feature, because during the early days of Skyrim, companions could die, and it really made me think if I should bring anyone in my missions because I was really afraid of letting them die in the line of fire for me. Going down for a bit and then standing back up is a good feature, as it would allow me to worry less about my companions, and focus more on the objective at hand.
