Hey, as I mentioned in my introduction thread, I'm on my first playthrough of the game and I've managed to reach chapter 9 on bronze (yes, I know, but I'm testing the waters on RPGs in general as I've played almost all other genres in my life).
One gripe I have are NPCs in quests where they follow you and you have to protect them. I've failed so many quests by losing said NPCs, even after I discovered that I can tell them to stay close to me. The intended response would be for them to stay close behind me but nope, they Leeroy Jenkins their way into a spider or jaguar.
How do you people handle this sort of quest? Some of these have pretty nice premises and I'd like to revisit them on a different playthrough someday, and I don't want to avoid them just because the AI is brain-damaged.
