I have an extremely frustrating thing going on (single player) and I don't know if it's not some 'feature' I've inadvertently flagged. I have various companions that will not follow the lead character, some do, dome do not. Each one has to be given movement order independently, playing an incredibly tedious game of hopscotch. They used to follow appropriately, and then as the game progressed, they would just stop. It has gotten so bad, that I am sorely tempted to opt out of having any companions with me whatsoever!
As far as I know I did not 'select' anything for them. I have certainly not turned on or off individual options. Their "Puppet Mode" is 'off' such that they DO use their default artificial intelligence. I've tried turning it on and off, turning it on, exiting, saving, reloading, turning it back off, still nothing. I've clicked every option I could find on and off, nothing.
I've started a game in Mask of the Betrayer, just to see if that was playable and shortly into the game, the Red Wizard stopped following my main character. And my main won't follow her either.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this some feature WAD I simply am unaware of and hitting some control key will change it? Or is this a bug? I would not be surprised if it was a bug as my game is constantly crashing with what I am sure are unrelated problems.
Running Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold on Windows Vista. I've not found any 'extra' patches online for this edition (and I most certainly have spent time looking) and I assume it is the latest. The load screen reads:
Version 1.021 (1549) FINAL Nov 13 2008 13:38:00
While the auto-updater says:
Your game version is: 1.21.1549 English
Bug? Companions not following
If you do a search on something like "companion follow" then you'll get some ideas on things you can do to fix the problem.

Sir Edmund: "Should you obey the lord who asks you to put a village of innocents to the torch? Is that chivalrous? Is it noble?"
Me: "It's a great way to get promoted, I know that much."

Ok, that's weird. I did several searches prior to posting and got nowhere. I must be having a bad brain day.
The 'right click' and select 'broadcast command' to 'follow me' does work, when it doesn't crash my game, which is half the time. Sigh...
Is it this buggy for everyone, or is it just me and my Vista?

Most bugs seem to have to do with scripts and cut scenes not firing correctly. I've never heard of the right-click menu causing crashes.

This is also happening to me. I have switched out different characters and find the only way to do it is to go with what ever character is not following. Would love to find out how to get rid of this problem. It haw caused me to reload too many times. IT only started happening after I got to the Ruins of Arvan.
