Whenever i used the hold position command it will not activate for one character but only for the entire party. Additionally, the command lasts about 1 second and then the party breaks command. How c...

The last DAI patch was released in Oct. 2015. Nothing has been changed since that day, and by all reports nothing will ever be changed as all patching and updates stopped at that point.
So anything that was still broken at that point, is something to be lived with and or modded if available on PC. Sorry, if this isn't what you like, and I personally would have loved another years worth of patches, but that isn't how most game cycles go now. I can only think of a few non-mmo/service style games that have had a longer patch period than about a year from release.
So if you see a bug, come here and see if you can find a work around, or maybe go to a mod site and see if you can find a mod, otherwise....you just kinda have to deal with it. Sorry, if this isn't what you want to hear.....
Oh no, I realise that the patches for this game stopped coming out a while ago, I'm just annoyed and disappointed that it's a mechanic that was never fixed. Especially since some of the puzzles in the game requires that "hold Position" functions in order to properly solve them.
@halloweenchild13; Yes, some of the puzzles do require that your Companions "Hold Position" in order to activate certain items. And it's a royal PitA to have to keep issuing that order to the rest of the Party when your running around with the one you're controlling... But it does work, and it allows you to complete the "Dead Hand" puzzle. (I assume that's the one you're talking about.) I've done it that way about a dozen times. Never like it, but always get through it. 🤒
[EDIT: There will be no further "patches" to DAI, so no sense in continuing to whinge about this issue. Simply employ the workarounds and get past it.]
- @ThandalNLyman See my above comment. As I said there, I am well aware that the patches stopped coming for this game years ago, it's just a shame they left a crucial mechanic broken, maybe they fixed it at some point but a different fix/patch broke it, I don't know, I'm not a dev. I'm just expressing my disappointment rather than frustration. As for workarounds, I am currently trying one that works for 90% of the time before the AI decides to reset, It's frustrating but I'm dealing with it.
Not "crucial", since we're able to complete the quest without any patch. And again, there will be no updates from the devs.
