Is there a way to "tone down" the Blaspheme Assassin companion?

cluster1022

I'm in Narbondellyn adventuring with my Blaspheme Assassin companion and I go into some of the rooms or areas where there are multiple groups and normally I can take them out one group at a time. Blaspheme Assassin is just all over the place and out of my control - will regularly and randomly go out and aggro every group in the area I'm adventuring in. My companion should be my companion and not go out on their own and start fights I'm not interested in engaging in, right?

Now, I've seen other games (not Neverwinter) where I'm able to tell my companion to go over and pull an NPC or group and bring them to where I want to fight, but companions shouldn't be making those decisions without my input or leadership... I wind up fighting multiple groups and more opponents than I can handle at a time.

Is there anything that can be done about that, or is that just the nature of this companion and I just need to go back to my Abyssal Chicken?

That's the general nature of rogue companions. Xuna is the same way.

She's a very angry lass. Best to stay out of her way.

Yea, it's best not to try and change her because she might be handy in some situations with that behavior, so ur better just moving to another comp if you don't like they way she acts around mobs. All comps are hard-wired to behave the way they do and you can't customize them, so the only way to change them is if the Devs recode them. If they did that she would lose that ability permanently.

...and Lolth only knows what else they would break in the process.
