I enjoy not having the control over my henchmen that I had in the Baldur's Gate series.
I'll admit, it was weird at first, but it is much more realistic. Playing with these TRUE NPCs feels alot like playing a multiplayer game. You KNOW the other players aren't doing the right thing(as far as you're concerned), but you have to work with them anyway.
I did download one of the henchmen hacks though because I couldn't stand my henchman standing there shooting her ranged weapon at two or three orcs who were pounding away at her with their axes.
Henchmen should be able to switch to melee weapons based on an enemy's proximity, and then switch back to ranged on their own. I hope Bioware will correct this with a future patch or expansion.
The one I use is
Pausanias's. It has lots of great features I don't use including inventory management.
Check it out!
