The two different companions I have played with have been really annoying. The first one was kind of my fault really. I played for days wondering why everyone else's was chopping down trees and they were complaining about it, when mine was just smashing up rocks I didn't want. I wanted the wood for the tower bounty challenge on here! It took me a while to figure out I needed to swap their equipped weapon to get them to change.

Later on I would hand them a mass of wood while I went to the top of the tower busy building, they would never fill the structure up with it and I would have to go back down (because they also wouldn't climb the tower) and do it myself.

One day they just completely disappeared with a load of my stuff, never to return. The companion I later hired didn't really seem as interested and was even less helpful than the first one!

I had enough of my companion chopping down trees around my base (I still haven't figured out how you grow those trees back so the area is not the most pleasant view) so I thought I'll take her to another realm, give her the axe there and she can chop trees to her heart's content while I complete some puzzles, what can go wrong? Famous last words....

Because what does dear Agnes do? While I turn my back and complete the puzzle she decides to chop the biggest tree closes to the location and drop it right on top of me! Luckily it was just a small HP loss and not lethal but now I'm pretty much convinces she didn't like when that one time I swapped her for another lady just to get some better gear off her and now that I took her back (because I still prefer her for some odd reason) she made it a quest to murder me...

Nell, Nell, Nell... I could probably write a book about how she constantly backstabs me! Whether it’s hiding in the bushes during a boss fight, vanishing with my items and gear only to return the next day without them and naked.

But let's not get too personal. There's one particular nuisance I think every Nightingale player will recognize—skillful dodging when you're slowly moving while overburdened.

Just as you're hauling something heavy, moving at a snail's pace hoping to reach your companion to hit "E" and unload those burdensome rocks, the companion AI decides it's the perfect moment to stroll right out of interaction range. And there you are, pleading, "waaaaaaaait for meeeeeeee-e-e-ee," as they nonchalantly wander off.

And they do this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

There I'll be, just walking around a Realm, trying to resource gather for higher tier resources, I'll hear my wondrous companion chopping trees next to me, which is helpful and appreciated, except for when the cut trees always land on me. My Companion has dropped so many trees on me, that they have killed me twice and on 2 other occasions, the dropped trees LITERALLY hurtled me through the air and killed me with falling damage, as I was to slow both times to pull my umbrella out and save me. Love the extra assistance when they're not dropping trees on me or putting all my wood resources into the fire pits.

My husband and I share a realm, and he had a companion, Mable, who he dismissed for another companion in a Hunt Forest realm. When we got back to our Forest Abeyance base, Mable was already there, and had started chopping down the trees I’d kept in the courtyard area of our house and loved very much. We closed all the doors and locked her out, but then she started chopping the walls of our house with an axe at the point closest to the courtyard trees, clearly hell-bent on exacting revenge for my husband’s betrayal. There was nothing we could do make her go away until he finally created a new character, joined our realm, courted Mable to become that character’s companion, then left.

Moral of the story - sometimes a rebound relationship is what's called for.
