you have a mandatory quest companion YOU CAN'T ISSUE ORDERS TO. Let's address this next patch.

this is applicable to all classes.

Agreed, hey, just killed someone, hidden and going to sneak away, then all of a sudden I get some "help" that runs RIGHT INTO MY HIDING SPOT and every PC character can see me now. Thanks. I also wish you could do orders to summoned companions so they don't hang around you for the same reason.

I think it's a little worse for a character that relies on not being seen...

Then don't use one assassin's are suppose to go solo.

They have a tendency to go charging into mobs of powerful enemies and get knocked out almost immediately.

We thieves suffer by their side. A lot.

your lookin for assassins creed

"mandatory quest companion you can't issue orders to"

Except that AC ironically has few options for stealth.

Can you say which quest this is without spoiling?

I'm playing the same type of character and just want to know what to look out for.

The upshot is that those companions tend to be essential, so you can always just let them do all the work and you hang back in the shadows.

They at least try to follow your cues with sneaking and drawing/sheathing weapons, though.
