1. You use way way way too many cuss words.
2. The fact that an NPC may be useless in combat(Which I'm sure he isn't, NPCs can come in handy a lot if you're not focusing your character purely on combat.) does not mean that NPCs aren't a good addition to the game, both due to atmosphere and social factors for your character.
3. You talk as if you're the master of Fallout, and know everything and are all-mighty. Get over it, to illustrate the fact that you're not even close to that title:
I've gone from lvl 25 to 60 by doing, on my own, without the car to travel around, as many encounters as possible around the enclave and San Francisco, meaning groups of up to 15 mutated freaky creatures, mutants and enclave soldiers.
As well as that, it's silly to hear someone talk like that...
