Immersion breaking NPCs in Halls of Torment

badmojo

So I went into the halls of torment to fight Molag Bal and since I had a number of people(NPCs) following me as backup, I said why not release Faolchu, if he goes hostile, I have enough backup to defeat him.

Big Mistake.

My companions literally sat there and watched as I desperately tried everything to fight off the warewolf. I'm not saying they sucked at fighting Faolchu, no they literally did not fight.

I felt like their lack of action was extremely immersion breaking and was the direct cause of my death. I wouldn't have took the chance in letting him go, if I knew I would have to defeat him on my own. There's a chance I could have beat him alone, but I was in such shock that I foolishly let Faolchu get the upper hand before I could get a hold of my emotions.

... seriously? With all the NPC bugs, you were thinking they'd help out?

Expect (and plan) to be on your own and if they manage to get a hit on your target every once in a while, cool, but never ever count on it.

They were very helpful leading up to that point. It's not like Faolchu was the only enemy we saw.
