■The system starts
An Equipment item "Captain Galmar: The Winter Soldier" is added in Windhelm Barracks.
When your follower equips with it, the positioning system starts. When he unequips, the system ends.
A message is displayed in each case.
The system starts : "'Stormcloaks...'"
The system ends : "'Assemble.'"
Can't be turned the system start in combat. You have to prepare before the combat.
■About the positioning system
In combat, if your follower's right hand equipment is a melee weapon, he casts the shout and goes into "Standby mode".
Your follower acts beside you. He does not rush at an enemy.
He will stand by your side, attack enemies when they get close and follow you when you leave. For example, when you get close to a ranged enemy who is behind enemy lines, your follower will also get close. You can combat without being isolated.
On the other hand, if you expect your follower to DPS, you need to be aware of the distance between you and him. Because when you get far away from your follower, he will stop attacking and follow you.
1)Targeting
You can target an enemy by activating him. (Activate = Same key as when talking)
Your follower combats beside the "Target" enemy and you and he act separately. You can put your follower into a dangerous enemy or front line, etc.
"Targeting" lasts until the enemy is killed or for 40 seconds. While "Targeting" is in effect, it cannot be run again.
The "Target" enemy and your follower's combat-target are not exactly the same. However, they often coincide.
2) Bleedout recovery
If your follower is bleedout, his health will be restored after 2 seconds. By then, if his health is 1 or more, "Bleedout recovery" will not be activated. "Bleedout recovery" needs your follower's magicka costs. Rank up improves the magicka costs.
While "Targeting" is in effect, "Bleedout recovery" is not activated.
Restore health : 50%
Magicka costs : 80%
Restore health : 50%
Magicka costs : 50%
Restore health : 50%
Magicka costs : 35%
