You had DOGMEAT?
We used to DREAM of dogmeat.
We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

That's nothing. We had to wake up at 3am with our father beating us with a broken bottle, 3 hrs before we went to bed, eat raw gravel, wash in the septic tank, work 26hrs in mill and give the mill owner 9 pence for the trouble. And we were happy n' all.
...but then dad asked us to debug a linux kernel so we had to kill 'im.

Tell that to the youngsters today and they won't believe you
Ahh, Dogmeat, how many hours I wasted re-running encounters just to keep your miserable [censored] alive. If only I wasn't such a sentimental type.
What a wonderful, wonderful game. Happy days.
I also used to subscribe to the idea that a mobile autoturret was a preferable. However, on reflection, stationary turrets should be quite useful. You can set them up in a trip mine field and cover them with caltrops to draw aggro and enemies to the minefield. If they followed you around shooting they would tend to draw aggro (and AoEs) in your direction.

: or make it mobile but controlable using the same instructions as the mastermind pets, so it can be told to stay, follow, be defensive, etc (like a machine gun toting Aibo). This would make sense to me as /Dev is focused around tactical deployment and therefore why not make the Auto Turret the most tactically flexible 'pet'? available to heroes 
.
Since it cannot be tp'ed around anymore I think that the recharge on a stationary Auto Turret should be halved, and multiple instances should be permitted.
Well, there's my 2ps worth
Edit: Oh and every shot it fires should have a slottable gauntlet/taunt type effect so it can act as an effective tank whilst the AR blaster is laying down the AoE law
