omg followers have been annoying me so much lately. im working on leveling an orc warrior with a focus on heavy armor, smithing, one-handed, and blocking. one time im wondering around and i find a dragon wall with a dragon ready to attack when i get close. i save my game then go and get ready to kill it. dragon flies up then when it gets ready to attack me it stays in the air and breathes fire while i pretty much take the damage and then drink some potions and wait for it to come back. i look around for my follower lydia and she is no where to be seen. shes not dead btw. now im ticked off. im trying to kill a dragon and i need my follower for ranged damage because i don't have any, and she's nowhere to be seen! im near death at this point so i reload, wait an hour for the stupid woman to finally catch up, then try again. not much more successful this time so i figure i will just go learn the word of power and run away then a dragon priest comes out. im like oh yeah theres a dragon priest that shows up here. i reload my game and go someplace else.

i also started doing some quests for the companions and had to go get the first axe fragment with farkus. similar thing happens with farkus. on the way to the tomb, i end up getting attacked by some bandits at their camp that has the lunar forge and once again, i somehow lose my follower and i have to take on 6 bandits by myself. i barely make it out alive. i look araund when im done and farkus is no where in sight. wait an hour, oh look there he is. would have been nice to have my shield-brother help me kill these bandits when his job is to make sure i dont die. also at one point when we are inside the tomb, i move an iron helmet on a pedestal which activates a trap. i get out of the way but farkus stands there and lets the darts hit him. is he too stupid to get out of the way?

so, followers need to be able to keep up with players better because i am tired having to go looking for them all the time. i had one get stuck in my house a few times too. i go inside, get some stuff, head back out, and they're still inside. it would also be nice if they would be smart enough to get out of the way if their standing in a trap. and for the love of god, make it so they get out of the way easier. its so annoying have to practically tackle my follower just to get them to stop standing in the middle of a door way so i can get through.
