I've traveled with a bunch of companions so far in addition to Dogmeat. Piper, Nick, and MacCready come to mind. However, I am encountering a weird issue where they refuse to go back to their homes (Publick Occurrences, the Valentine Detective Agency, the Third Rail, etc.).
When you dismiss a companion, you get the option to send them to any one of your settlements, from a list. There's also the option to cancel. I ignored this option because I figured it would just keep the companion with me and cancel the dismissal. However, this option actually sends the companion away too, though I didn't know that, so I sent them all to the Red Rocket gas station outside Sanctuary.
The problem is, if you pick them up, dismiss them to one of your settlements (like I did with all 3 of the companions I mentioned earlier), pick them up again from said settlement, and dismiss them again using the "cancel" option... it doesn't send them back to their lore-appropriate home, it sends them to the last place you picked them up... which in my case is the Red Rocket.
The only companion I've been able to send back to his original spot was Strong, but only because I never sent him to a settlement. When I dismissed him, he went back to his spot outside Trinity Tower.
So am I screwed? Is Piper never going to see her little sister again because I asked her to wait at a gas station once? What gives?
