Frea of the Skaal is an idiot.

OK just a comical note re: Frea.

When we go into Mirak's temple she warns me over and over and over about Mirak setting traps........and watch out for Miraks traps. Don't set of any traps.

While she proceeds to set off.......EACH AND EVERY SINGLE TRAP IN THE PLACE.

LOL

I mean this gal didn't mis setting off any of his traps. NOT ONE!

I had to be careful each time to be out of the way because......BOOM......yep she set that one off too........DANG!

She is about as adroit as Mercer Frey, but much nicer to look at.

I love when they keep triggering the trap when they stagger back and forth. Then the AI kicks in and they swear [...] Blam ... I will kill you ... Blam ... Show yourself ... Blam ...

I am sick of these followers not seeing traps. I've reached a point where I don't think I need a follower any more (again), so it's, hopefully, moot for me. But, I was looking at the following mod as a solution:

AFT mod has a toggle for trap avoidance, its what I use. Its nice to look back and see your follower hop over the tripwire like you did.

Oh dear christ... The chaos...

[Bird_Dog]

Traps in Skyrim have the same effect on companions that magnets have on pieces of unalloyed steel...

Typical example of story and gameplay segration.
This game is ripe with them. Hopefully they will improve on that in the next game.

Idiot AI's are why I typically go solo. Sometimes the game gives you no option......like with Frea. Oh well, I survived. ;o)

Ah yes, dear old Mercer. "Watch out for the trap." I sneak right over it because I got the appropriate perks. Then I hear a sound, and look back. What do I see? Mercer pinned to a wall by a swinging spike rack trap. GGWP Mercer.

LOL

I once had Lydia keep hitting the same trap over and over and over.......I mean I waited for minutes and she just was stuck in an endless loop. Bamm......Bamm...Bamm.....again and again.

I finally left the area and she eventually showed up unscathed.

Wish I had a video of it.......so funny.

There is one point in going through the Temple with Frea, that she suddenly gets smart. She sheaths her weapon and laughs saying, "No way, you go on through and turn it off for me". (Paraphrased), on some multiple trap, near the end.

Bloodskaal Barrow has the multiple swinging blade trap that hardly any follower can handle.
