I'm on my 3rd playthrough, stealth archer (yeah yeah I know), and I've hit a wall where my follower keeps teleporting directly to me the second I enter combat, completely blowing my stealth. I'm using Lydia right now and it's gotten so bad I'm considering just dismissing her permanently.
I've tried telling her to wait, I've tried the "stay back" commands, I've even tried pickpocketing her gear so she can't engage, but nothing stops the teleport. It's like the game has a hard limit where if I'm in stealth and she gets too far away, she just pops into existence next to me. Ruins every single ambush I set up.
Is this just how followers work in the base game or am I missing something? I'm on SE with USSEP so it shouldn't be totally broken. Should I just accept that stealth builds don't work with followers, or is there actually a workaround that doesn't involve console commands?
