Too easy to accidentally kill your companion when hacking away at structures

[Duane Johnson]

I had a water-bonded dog as my companion. I was “force attacking” stone repeatedly to cut my way through the mountains. I had left one scene and entered a single square of a new scene (imagine only mountains visible, except for my character in the sole carved out region), and there was no room for my companion in this new scene. As soon as I had destroyed the next stone in front of me (holding key down, on key repeat) the dog entered the scene right where I’d been hacking at mountain, died, and then I was cursed by all clans and societies for breaking the water bond.

It would be ideal if the same sort of “repeat safety mechanism” as I’ve seen elsewhere in the game were in place here to prevent me from killing my companion accidentally.
