Companion always does dumb stuff =/

[Galaczius]

My companion keeps walking into traps and never flees when things get tough meaning my companion dies mostly. Is there any other way to control my companion on the field =/

[Gropax]

yes and no there is a companion control wheel it kinda works ok. but mostly you just don't use them or get a mod to fix the traps part. personally i hate all the companions except serana and she can't die.
