Aniya constantly runs into me and then acts like it was my fault. That's around town. But running around in the wilderness she gets really far behind, so I have to wait on her to catch up. Would be cool to give her a run boost or teleport to you option.
Huh, ya know, I've noticed that too. In town's she follows VERY close, but out in the field/in the open terrain she follows at a snails pace.
While in interiors she follows close..
One other thing I've noticed is: Does her Health go up per level? She seems to be getting downed quite a bit (Even though I've given her a full set of Steel Armor) I understand she's a Mage but I think she should be a hybrid based one: Use her spells at groups of enemies, use a Bow at long range (If given one, use her Sword along with her spells (50/50 in close range combat)
Guess I should # this since I know the mod author looks at this Forum - I understand he's very aware of my original suggestions in the Comments so I'll go ahead and make a few more immersive ones here:
1.) Her combat A.I. doesn't seem to match other NPCs (Depending if using an A.I. overhaul or not) so her aggression/field of view should be similar if using a overhaul or just using vanilla A.I.
2.) Allow her to utilize her Healing spell, I've noticed she demonstrates it to the Jarl's Wizard in Whiterun bur haven't seen Aniya use it to heal the Dragonborn while in combat or when health is low.
3.) She should be aware of when the Dragonborn becomes more skillful (Archery, Speech etc) via some dialog to reference it from time to time.) Oh another thing that could be very immersive/I honestly don't see other follower mods do: Allow us to 'train' her in different Skills! (Archery, Speech [When she's talking to generic store NPCs like ones at Whiterun or Riften etc - actually since she's able to randomly pick up things from dead NPCs, allow her to buy/sell items, gotta buy those Potions after all, or even those Books, would be interesting to see her learn new Magic Skills via that method too] even Sneak too. I remember hearing a line of dialog from her asking for one of those Books. So it would be neat to give her one via a dialog option.
4.) Allow her to 'gift' us items from time to time [Gold, Arrows [Depending on which Arrow type we use] and very rarely 'gift' Misc Books [Depending on faction affiliation/what skills the player is good at - like the book about the Empire or the Holds of Skyrim, if part of the Imperial Legion]
Might have some more suggestions later, will post 'em here for now on.
About that bug, I've noticed after I fix the package it would always do that, it sure is odd. I'll try and take a look into fixing that in the next bigger version or smaller patch.
About the suggestions, I love them! I am going to be adding a spell learning function next time around and will continue to add immersive functions and tweaks with each new content update I do. As always I love the feedback as I'm not the only one working on this mod, but, you, the followers of this mod are helping build this mod up too, and I really appreciate yall for doing that!
Like always I will continue to update this until we can all say, "man, she's a damn good follower, the best one I've seen". I want her to be a follower everyone loves and enjoys and ill do my best to make her the best she can possibly be.
I like close, but she adjusts a bit too often. It can be hard to get around her.
I changed her speed multiplier to 110. That seems to improve her following in the field. Does make walking a bit faster after all the time, but really helps following. I noting if it's not set in the mod (when you first meet her), it gets reset to 100 on a reload.
I echo the sweet roll problem - lots of requests but few location to get many.
i just saw this forum thread and wanted to make mention of the suggestion i made in the post. aniya wants sweetrolls, but doesn't have a dialog option to accept them.

it’ll be a fun little immersive addition to the mod :)
