A better solution than I ever thought of. Not only do you not see other companions in crowded areas but you still have yours out. Wonderful!
Right? Seems like they really nailed it with this one. I'm kinda proud of them, haha.
I remember reading that they were going to test some kind of solution like this a while back, but didn't hear anything about it since. If this was in the Patch Notes, I missed it I guess. Kinda thought this would be a bigger deal!
