Bugs[]
As of patch 1.2, Live & Love still has no effect on Cait, Curie, Dogmeat, MacCready or Preston Garvey. The player still gains bonuses that apply, but these companions do not. [verified]- The bonus experience from rank 8 does not apply when traveling with Dogmeat. [verified]
- Issues 2 and 9 do not work unless the player also has issue 3. [verified]
Issues 2 and 9 do not stack. Robotic companions will still only deal +5% damage.[verified]- Issue 5 conflicts with the third rank of Party Girl Party Boy, only receiving +3 Luck while under the effects of alcohol. Needs testing of perk order, whether to avoid being intoxicated as you pick up the magazine. It may also not work at all or with specific companions regardless of the Party Boy/Girl perk. It's not fixed in patch 1.3. [verified]
