Aside from her deep, deep concern to make sure there is nothing she can do for me every 5 seconds, she really is an improvment on followers.

For the most part, she stays out of door ways, doesn't smash into you every time you stop, sometimes (although not usally to my pleasure) chooses to not wait around twiddling thumbs, and I recently discovered she can actually knows what she's fighting.

The other day when I was in the soul cairn, we were fighting some bonemen or something, and she said "That's it, now i'm going to kill you, again!". I was honestly amazed by this, as I tried to remember any other time and NPC actually made on observation about another NPC that wasn't scripted...or "Ahh, a dead body!". And I cou;d not. That fact she actually recognized she was fighting an undead enemy makes her seem more like she is part of the world, and not just some weird robot drifting though the motions.

...Well she actually is just a robot drifting through the motions, but we aren't supposed to feel like she is.
