Bugs

 * A companion may become stuck in a "crucified" position, flying around about 1-2 feet off the ground following the player. The companion can be spoken with and interacted with in a normal manner, however the companion will not fight. Even loading a new area by going through a door will not fix this behavior.
 * One potential fix is to fast travel to another location.
 * A companion might continue to make the sound of using a ripper after they have put the weapon away. Fast travelling, reloading and taking the ripper away won't stop the sound.
 * A fix is to have them use the ripper again and the sound should stop.
