Especially if the person with one has the other.

My current favorite I play is a skill-monger super agent type with Luck as high as allowed. He also has Oracle and Oracle (Digital) and can fake Danger Sense via Modular. It's darn near impossible to sneak up on him when he is in his Battle Armor (courtesy of the Gadgeteer)... and he's happy (mild Paranoia) with that.

He would fit in so well in that setting it's rather scary.

Telepaths can be built with lower point totals. I remember that Supers had to deal with telepaths able to mind control higher-point supers.

But telepaths just wouldn't be as powerful in Reign of Steel. ESP would be better for sensing, and cyber-telepathy for fighting robots.

I'll agree with you for the most part, but as others have note telepaths can still be useful to communicate with others. If they have something like Borrow Skill + the Deep Study perk they can become highly talented in a short period of time.
