I've been loving the game, difficulty included, but I feel companions and escorts die so easily. I'm on story mode and paid companions feel like a waste of gold, and any escort quests are a waste of money because the npcs die in about a hit and a half. That's my only criticism, genuinely.

Hired Mercenaries are a waste (except for a few very specific situations).

Hired Mercenaries were originally going to be a more powerful role but that got nixed in favor of having Companions.

As for NPC escorts, finding way to keep them alive is part of the challenge. There's only that is generally problematic as she likes to charge ahead in an ambush.

General rule, once you find the hostage victim, take the most direct route you can back to safety. That's just like real life. You don't see SWAT teams going on more 911 calls with a child in the backseat. Maybe?

Clerics get a party buff that helps in both the above situations.
