11. If You Want Your Friends To Carry Your Stuff, You'll Need To Steal It Back Or Barter With Them For It
You're friends will do anything, but the one thing they can't do (at least in the older games) is carry your stuff directly. Oh, they'll do it, but you have to use those tricky pickpocketing skills to make it work. Before Fallout 3 let you access your companions' inventories, you had to pickpocket the items in and out or just barter, and if you choose the latter path, you won't be getting anything for free. Next time you're friend asks you to hold something for them, put your foot down. Refuse to carry anything unless you give them a fair deal, or force them to put in in your pants when you're back is turned. That's not annoying at all.
