Shift + C
What can the command do? With Shift + C you and your entire party of companions can switch to stealth mode. In this mode, you make little noise. Additionally, you can surprise your opponents in combat and attack them from ambush, as ideally they do not see you coming.
F1 to F4
What can the command do? With F1 to F4 you can switch between your companions in the party to react faster in critical situations.
G
What can the command do? With G you can split your group or bring them back together. This can be especially useful in fights or when scouting areas, as it prevents you from sending all companions into critical situations.
If you are engaged in a fight with 2 players, your separated members could support from ambush, thus having an “unfair” advantage over your enemies.
