I wish they would actually follow you, if I go in the wilderness from a mainroad, I only see them again when I go back to a road, it's like they're scared of the wilderness.
Interesting. Not the experience I have. I'm out in the wilderness all the time and my followers aren't "scared". The only issues are pathing over cliffs and rocks. But even when I scale a mountain, if I lollygag at the bottom my followers will find me. I have to work hard to loose a follower.
i want folowers to use any bow we give them with any arrows, like a glass bow with elven arrows or even glass arrows
I like their stubborness. Gives them personality. You have to cater to their personalities and preferences - it works for my immersion.
