I'm honestly about to give up - this has probably been addressed, but i can't find it. I'm at the very start of the game and my companions don't stay with me, they just take off on their own willy nilly getting themselves killed. There is probably a behaviour I need to change but I've looked and can't figure this out.

Also, is there a way to get the camera to just simply follow me? When I turn, I want the camera to swing around to follow me.

Thanks!!

PS they are not on puppet mode.

The voice command "Stand your ground" or "Follow me" are for keeping your companions near you. Use them whenever they're running off and you don't want them to. But you'll have to tell them to attack again when you do want them to, with "Attack nearest".

Open the voice command menu by pressing V.

I think the camera turns around slowly to follow you if you set the camera to Character mode.

Thanks touched. I'll try that.
Sorry about the multiple posts btw, slow internet connection.
