They do get in the way sometimes. I still use Lydia, mostly to tank things in multi-mob situations, and she typically gets shot in the back when she runs in front of me. But even at level 32 with ~65 Archery, I get rocked vs more than a couple stronger mobs -- especially if I don't have room to kite.

Last night I ran the quest in the thieve's guild line where you and Mercer go after that Nightingale chick who killed Gallus. There was at least one pull that ended up with 6-8 Draugers, some melee some caster (with that damn shout/stagger they do), each which take a good 6-10 shots to kill (not using true shot pots or poisons). Mercer would tank everything until he's brought down then they just gang rape me. I ended up getting through it all eventually, but I can't fathom pulls like that solo.

Like those last couple screenshots of your Yoox... unless you're 1-2-shotting those skeletons, I dunno.
