Companions not following me!

[Capt Cliff]

I sometimes have order the companion to wait then immediately ask them to follow me to GET them to follow! Why didn't Bethesda use the FO4 companion algorithm.

I have been having this also. But then, you can't even tell them to "go there" in this game either. You can only dismiss them in the ship or at home. They are not even a quarter as smart AI as previous games.

Yes, well, these AI scripts are still in the game, in the manipulate menu. I don't understand why it wasn't added to the companions either. At the very least, Bethesda should take another look at what can be improved here.

However, if the companion no longer follows, a fast travel or removing the companion from the crew or assigning him to a base may help. I have also noticed that you can sometimes get very far away from your companion. But as soon as you enter a new cell (shop/temple/fast travel etc..) it works again.

Again the companion didn't follow me. This time when I boarded The Colander. Vasco did, as the guard for the hatch, but not my chosen companion.

Bethesda has had issues like this with companions since Skyrim. 14 years and no improvement.
