Maybe something like with the Niffen digs where we can tell the companion to stand there and wait, because so far for me delves are more frustrating but I see the potential.
Im not fighting the mechanics or the npcs, im fighting braindead Brann. Its bearable because highest difficulty right now is 3 but at higher difficulties there might be actual consequences to Branns shenanigans.
His egg keeps me in combat, preventing me from restealthing. So I guess I have to needlessly destroy that, too.
He randomly steals aggro, denying my AOE set up, because he runs away. Usually into other mobs or some AOE, most often both. And then he has the audacity to tell me not to run into the AOE he just ran into. So I wait either for him to fall unconscious, the AOE to disappear or I eat some extra damage or summon some extra mobs to kill the ones focused on Brann, all of which is a prolonging option.
And then at the delve end boss the boss focuses Brann and he keeps running into the worst spots where I either take a lot of dmg myself to deal dmg to the boss, or I wait eons. It’s infuriating.
Delves could be great, but after not even having done 10 I’m already at a point where I basically never wanna do another again. I know they are completely optional but I like solo challenges. The mage tower is amazing, the Thunder Kings vault is cool, delves can be cool, too.
So yeah, TL;DR give us an option to disable companions please
