Do companions become useless later on? (FO1)

First time out of the vault
Given they can not equip a more diverse powerful assortment of weapons, should I just ditch them as the enemies get more powerful?
 
They can't use armor. So they die easily.
Actually you can kill all mutant alone with power armor and powerful weapon.

True, I forgot about the armor as well, mostly because I have a mod that actually lets you equip armor on them. If they could get more powerful weapons and level up better, then they'd actually be worthwhile...
 
Endgame (for me) they just couldn't handle the enemies they were facing and I had to finish solo (power armor+power fist with 1 ap/attack build)
 
Personally, I don't even like to have companions in the first place. Besides the fact that there all weak, They tend to mess me up whenever I have a complicated battle plan. For me, none of them lasted to the end, but then again, I only really had 3 during the entire game.
 
You must be the first person who complains they don't do enough damage.

Their damage is perfectly fine. Give Ian the .223 pistol, Tycho the LE Red Ryder or a sniper rifle, and Katja a power fist or ripper. They won't one-shot super mutants left and right like you can with the turbo plasma rifle, but they'll certainly carry their weight.

The huge problem in an unmodded game always was that they get insta-killed by super mutants eventually.
