The new update that has you talk with your follower makes it harder to get into their inventory or to stop them from helping doing an action. Its too many steps to prevent them from killing something you need the points for the kill or not to harvest an item before you can apply a buff.
Yeah this was nooooooot an improvement. I would very much prefer to return to the way it was set up before.
Using a controller, I can't access my follower's inventory without talking with them, exiting, and talking with them again
