Yea that is true. Then should be changed to a companion you can call anytime, make her join your party. Because having her protecting my ass when i go i get a drink, is heavenly, also i feel like it was forgotten. The potential of the Companion is so awesome.
Swtor, Skyrim and so many games have companions. I feel like the adventuring fellow was only a test for Trust and it saddens me. I wish i could explore much more with my Fellow. Should not be left to the old days of trusts magic.
