Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks Companions stop following if hazards are present

Hello.

I guess this is intended and not a bug but I find it quite annoying. When all my party is chained together, sometimes one or two members stop following the leader if there are some hazards around: oil pools, goo, noxious bulbs clouds, etc...

Is there any way to force them to get across those hazards, provided they have enough magical armor to withstand these or force them altogether even if it could prove fatal?

I would like to know that too. It's quite tiresome if you don't notice immediately. It also happens with ladders.

Yes, I was very annoyed when one of my party members would not follow me over an oil puddle so they decided to take the long way around which walked them right through a shrieker...

this seems to translate to ladders/vines for some reason? companions become confused and frequently will just stand in place after you go up or down a ladder

either way, at most it should be a toggle option because most of the time these hazards will only hurt magic armor a slight amount, and are not at all worth the headache that this function presents

When people are too smart for their own good...

Thanks for your replies.

Yes I completely forgot that it happens a lot on ladders too.
