Well for me, not all changes were good. Sure, my pawns heal themselves more often and sometimes buff themselves up, but my female Mage has become seriously dumb.

First of all, the is a Medicant/Utilitarian and should focus on healing and buffing, her only "offensive" spells are for negative status alignments against foes. Yet what does she do? She runs over to stomping and raging Ogres or Cyclopses (etc.) and HITS them with her staff...by swinging it around.

Sometimes on BBI's deeper levels, I might have to flee from battle, since 2 prisoner Cyclopses, 2 Eliminators, a bunch of Sirens + randomly appearing Garms or even Death are WAY too much to handle.......so I run away, my support Pawns following me...my Main Pawn keeps attacking the Enemies. I yell COME (or "wave"), she answers that she is coming and moves a few steps...before attacking again. I use COME again, same thing. I try moving a bit closer to her, spamming the same command, running away myself again...and still, either she gets killed or it literally takes minutes for me to get her out of harm's way. Once I even grabbed her and simply tossed her away, picking her up and tossing her again to make my way out, otherwise she probably would have run back to the monsters again. It is really annoying!! She has NEVER had any aggressive inclinations, always being a Medicant, Utilitarian, sometimes Nexus or with Guardian as 3rd inclination. I also hardly use the go button. My pawn has always been taking her time with following, but in vanilla DD she actually followed me. Since DA has come out, she keeps acting like a deaf, braindead brat going through her rebellious age -_-

I really like my pawn, but fighting against strong bosses has become really obnoxious...
