Followers AI and Routing

Post » Tue Jun 19, 2012 12:56 am

Is it my imagination, or do some followers have better AI and Routing than others? Lydia seems to be pretty good at following me. Yeah, she gets caught behind rocks, takes the long path when she could just jump down a few feet, but otherwise keeps up.

Iona, on the other hand, keeps getting stuck attacking something that is no longer there. For instance, she stood in Northwatch keep aiming the staff I gave her and firing it continually at a wall long after everyone was dead and we were on the way out. She constantly "trips" over the rocks left from a falling rock trap and injures herself, and she doesn't follow me through doors.

Svem stays so far back that I've killed something before he gets around to raising his bow., but at least he hasn't failed to follow me into the next level because he's trying to attacks something dead.

So does anybody else find some followers more glitched than others. If so which ones are the least annoying to use?

My current favorite follower is Aela, she keeps up with me and seems to be a lot quicker at getting around rocks and such than Lydia.
