Why are my companions never there? Am I walking too fast for them to keep up? Are they getting killed during fast travel? Do they have ADD?
It's so annoying to die because your cannon fodder/marksmen weren't there(or not enough of them) to die in your place.

[Loam]

Is there any way to run a harassing bandit gang out of town, or do I just have to kill them all? I can make them yield, but they don't leave.

You might be losing them at rivers. They don't seem to even attempt to cross rivers in this version. Mine don't, anyways.

They do cross rivers sometimes, but sometimes they are unable to swim anyway (or get distracted). Entering fast travel while still close to the river helps.

I lose them mostly when walking through the land for considerable lengths of time. They don't always cross rivers physically(or I don't see them doing it, at least) but usually they are still with me when I cross a river, go into fast travel, walk away from the river and then come back to the map.
As an aside, one thing I'll never forget is when my marksdwarf companion swam across a river to bash a crocodile that was sitting by the other margin. I think you can guess how that ended.

[smjjames]

Yeah, my main gripe about companions is that they always get distracted by random animals.

No, in the old version you had to go away from the river and travel before they drown. This version, just sprint until the river is out of sight, then travel.

Question, as a vampire, can you die from not slaking your bloodthirst? I think I read something about combat liability though.

How do you train shield and armor? Do you let an animal keep attacking you or something?

Yup, as long as you have a shield you do both when attacked (except when you dodge then only armor). A very good way to get high skills and attributes is to sneak into a group of groundhogs, grapple as many as possible, and then take them down. The first time you do this they will all become mildly hostile. I then usually lay down to help prevent my dodge skill or my kicking agility from succeeding at dodge attempts so I auto-block with the shield instead.
     Beware though if you are entirely nude you can lose bits even to groundhogs or weasels.

How do you train armor

Jump of the trees.

Literally  get hit while wearing things.

Some people like to grab small animals while wearing clothing and a helmet.

No, but after a while you become so awful that alligators will tear off your feet even if you are a swordsmaster.

Anyone know what some of the smells you get mean? I was in a human keep and all I could smell was cooked flesh. The only other time I smelled that was near a night troll lair.

I think it may be a randomly generated or modded creature, as I can't find anything with that odor string in the raws.
