Companions or just clunky pack mules

First let me say that even on the 360 Skyrim is without a doubt one of the best RPGs I have ever played. The Graphics are outstanding and the open architecture is unbelievable. Now with that said my only real complaint is about your companions. I currently have Lydia, which I have really come to hate. I mean I seriously does anyone know if companions level with you, do they gain experience based on what weapons you give them...etc etc. I am currently level 18 and at this point it seems I spend more time reloading due to this chicks death than anything. Even small engagements have become a big deal to keeping Lydia alive. She seems to be a 2 hit kill these days despite having the best armor I can make or have found. This seems really odd to me considering she straight up kept aggro and tanked for me my entire second dragon engagement. Are companions level set at the time you get them...ie do I need to get a new one every 5 levels or so? Just frustrating, even with me sitting there doing nothing but healing hands she went down against 2 falmers in a mater of seconds. Also why does it so hard to find out what your companions health is. Well blah blah my rant is done....It just seems like companions where given zero thought besides just being a pack mule.

Lydia got crushed by a dragon landing on her for me.... She died instantly, I couldn't even re-load since it wasn't until about 30 minutes later that I realise that she was crushed by the dragon. ;_;
