0008348: Companions not moving while swimming
A bit annoyed by the companions in my party not getting into river to cross them with me (i know they will still be with me in the world map travel, but i'm talking about the actual gameplay map), i decided to see if training them into swimming would make the gameplay less annoying in the regular river crossings.

I moved into the river , alt-moved back into the ground in a companion location, switching place with him so he get into water etc... until both my allies were in the river.
To my surprise they weren't "floundering", but when i look with l , they're stated as "swimming", so they must have some skill levels there already.

And then the problem : they're not moving, i switched place with them to force them into the middle of the river as i thought maybe they were somehow "holding" the river side, but no, they're now swimming in the middle of the river but they don't move, they don't follow me, don't try to get out of their own, nothing.
And even if they're on a river side, they will not try to move out of the river

Might be related to 0003700 since it sounds like the same kind of pathing issue.

I can definetly confirm this. Lost one companion (and almost lost another when they wouldn't climb back out of a pool.

They seem to cross rivers okay though, sometimes.
