Companions won't follow me
I've tested this with several companions. They don't follow me, even though the game says they are. The act like they would be if they are told to stay at a base. When I go to recruit another companion, the game asks me to send my current companion (who isn't following me around) to go somewhere. Once I do that, and ask the new follower to follow me, they won't do it. I can command them to follow me, but it doesn't work. The option to ask them to follow is still there no matter what. What do I do to fix this nonsense? This is a new bug by the way, I haven't had this problem until recently.

Shameless self bump. I can't have any companions, it just won't work. Companions say they are following me, but they just go about their route, wandering around their designated areas. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Now I cannot dismiss followers either. I want Curie to follow me, but she won't. I can't even get her to stop following me now. What the ♥♥♥♥ is this nonsense.

For me it started around there as well, when I got Paladin Danse as a "companion". I put that in quotes because he didn't come with me. Just like all the other followers now.

I have the same problem... I know what causes this. At least for me.
Just before being ennemy with the brotherhood of steel, I called one of their plane and get into it. One of my follower did the same thing but I didn't used the plane. I just wanted to try that option. And now, the brotherhood of steel is an ennemy and all of my active companions / followers are going into that plane, and if I kill that plane, they will just go to the crash site. That's just great >.>

FIXED IT!!

I assume you are allied with the Brotherhood, which seems to be where people's problem are.

Basically (at least in my experience, and others' I've seen) your companion is trying to board a Vertibird that doesn't exist (hence why your companion is wondering, typically towards the Airport.)

Just try signaling a Vertibird near a companion. Wait for it to land, then ask another companion to follow you, and command them into the Vertibird. Then, travel somewhere and land.

Once they get out, they, and all your other companions should be fixed.

I HOPE THIS HELPED.:steamhappy:

You could try using a signal grenade, by spawning it in. Just an idea.

I was running into a similar issue but I wasn't involved with the Brotherhood. Instead, I opened the console, clicked on the companion, and typed resurrect. I did lose everything they were carrying, though.

Resurrection worked for me, thanks for the heads up on the stuff being lost.
