Some time ago, I played this game, called “Rogue Survivor”. One of its features was giving orders to followers, which was useful, specially when telling them to grab/not grab items around them, to trade/ not trade with other survivos, how to attack (cautious, coragerous, coward), and you could also use their skills to aid you, provided they trusted you enough.

I think it is easy enough to implement, and it would improve the npc by much.

That is one of the planned features of the NPCs, I think?  
The thing with them is that only recently they started to rework them, so I don’t think I’ll see that soon, but indeed in some time!

You can change rules of engagement (to a degree) already, so it’s a start. Yeah. NPC overhaul is young indeed.
