Customization: The Performance: While the Automatron can be a viable companion with its customization options, it may not offer the same level of immersion or effectiveness as other companions. Additionally, acquiring the necessary components to build one can be challenging, either requiring luck in finding all the required mods on robot corpses or investing in crafting perks to unlock them through leveling up.
