Description

In the vanilla game, companions automatically follow the party leader's movements.

If companions target a character and the party leader moves too far away, they will cancel their action and return to the party leader.

This can prevent important actions from being completed and disrupt the flow of battle.


Features

This mod allows companions to independently pursue targets and complete self-targeted actions.

If companions are actively targeting a character, such as attacking foes or healing or buffing themselves or allies, they will continue these actions even if the party leader moves too far away.

Additionally, foes will now only be able to despawn if they are out of range of any party member, rather than just the party leader. This allows companions to continue engaging their target, even when far from the party leader.

Companions can now also receive commands regardless of their distance from the party leader. Moreover, characters can now be targeted if they are near any party member, rather than just the party leader.

Fleeing will still cancel all actions and force companions to return to the party leader. It now also takes priority over Confuse and ensures that companions with Berserk prioritize idling over attacking foes when near the party leader.

These changes let companions act more freely and make combat more dynamic and engaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I get help?
A: Either in the post sections of the mod page here, or in the modding discord server here.

Q: Where can I report a bug?
A: Same as above, either in the posts section of the mod page, or in the modding discord server. Please provide as much information as possible about how you encountered the bug in order to receive the best possible help. If I can confirm the bug, I will add it to the list of known issues.

Q: Nothing is working, what am I missing?
A: Make sure you didn't miss the deploy notification in the top right in Vortex when installing the mod. Also recheck if the mod requirements are up to date. If it still doesn't work, check out the hook.log file in the game/x64 directory. If it contains anything unusual, create a paste in pastebin and send me the link.

Q: Why can companions not pursue targets that are not actively in my view?
A: This occurs when using a gambit with the condition "Foe: nearest visible", which requires the target to be visible on your screen. Select a different gambit condition to prevent companions from canceling their action when their target is no longer in your view.
