So at some point after about 30 hours with Danse he will literally just walk up and stay on my butt while we are patrolling bumping into my back. Like if I walk and not run he will sprint at me nudge into my character and then walk literally one foot behind him with almost no separation. I reloaded about an hour back and it fixed the issue. No he patrols like he used to with a good amount of space between us. I tried a lot of things before the reload to try and fix this to no avail. Dismissing him fast traveling etc. Has anyone else seen this?

General companion stupidity? YES. Lone wanderer perk.

Ya I know. As a military man myself and Brotherhood of Steel fanatic I like the fact that I have a squad member and it immerses me more in the BoS sweep of the common wealth since I am a member myself albeit a local. If you notice most of their squads that sweep are two man teams so it fits nicely with Danse. I hear you though.

It's the new romancing feature. When he starts taking off his armor you should avoid turning your back on him.
