Bug Description:

hi, when will the bug with the useless companions finally be fixed? as soon as i give my companion a shield he is helpful for 5 minutes, after that he is trapped in the combat animation and just runs stupidly behind. this also happens with other weapons, but with shield it is much more likely.

---

Bug Reproduction:

equip a shield and a weapon and after 3-4 fights the companion is useless.
