Trying to figure out if I'm just being stubborn or if the basic follower system is actually fine without a framework. Been running around with just USSEP and vanilla followers for a bit and honestly it's not nearly as broken as I thought it'd be. Yeah they pathfind like idiots sometimes and stand in fire, but that's kind of part of the charm at this point.
Everyone keeps recommending the big frameworks but they add like 30+ plugins and a ton of MCM bloat. I get that they fix some stuff and add features but I'm wondering if I'm missing something crucial or if people just install them out of habit. My current playthrough is a melee build where I actually solo most fights anyway so the follower AI doesn't matter as much.
What am I actually losing by skipping a framework? Is it worth the load order space or should I just accept that followers are gonna be janky and move on?
