Follower AI that won't break sneak attacks : V

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 4:56 am

If I'm sneaking, my follower should stop in his tracks the moment an enemy is detected. He shouldn't start shooting arrows until we're in combat.

Instead: I'm sneaking up on something. Faendal stays right behind me. He either shoots my target before I even sneak attack, or gets detected. XD

Tell your follower to "Wait here".

What? My companion never ruined sneaking for me... if you sneak, they sneak

Yet another thing that needs to be fixed regarding companion AI. I'm vaguely tempted to take the Dark Elf from the Drunken Huntsman for a spin, but I'm not sure she'd be worth the effort despite all the talk about how stealthy and deadly she is. *sigh*

I'll sneak up with bow, see bandits, Lydia charges in with sword, my sneak is STILL active, I sneak attack bandits while she's wailing on them with a sword. Been working great. I was actually surprised that when the follower is spotted it doesn't suddenly make me un-hidden. The fact that she's in heavy armor makes this a real winner.
