i wish they had your companions health and conjured monsters health bars above your mana bar, i also wished they had your active buffs on the upper right corner. these two irratations have kept me from buying this game. i have heard of companions dying because the player didnt realize their companion was low on health.
it is my hope they patch this. i think it should have been an option to begin with, all my friends agree. tsk tsk bethesda=/
