Another problem with the two Dark Brotherhood followers is they are so generic that their inventories are set to reset periodically. So any gear you give them will get deleted. I lost Chillrend that way once.

There's more to people preferring Lydia than her just being many players' first follower. All followers are influenced by the hidden stas of Aggression, Confidence, Assistance. Lydia's Aggression stat is set to _Aggressive_ so she attacks a lot more in combat, her Confidence is set to _Foolhardy_ so she will fight until knocked down, and her Assistance is set to _Help Friends & Allies_ meaning she'll quickly rush close to your side if you're in trouble. Taking these hidden stats into account, Lydia is _by far_ one of the best followers available to the player.

@@Joffie69 Health absorption on hit is indeed terrific for longevity, but health regen on armor piece is one of many effects that- for some reason- Bethesda decided just wouldn't work for followers. For followers, the increased health regen from enchantments is only active _outside_ of combat. During combat, it essentially just turns off. Stamina and magicka regen effects function fine, however. And amusingly, followers don't have their resistances capped so a follower _can_ achieve 100% magic immunity through their enchantments which _does_ remain active in combat. By endgame, I once had Lydia fully decked out in hand-crafted ebony equipment, enchanted for stamina regen and full magic immunity. Pair that with a health absorption ebony sword, she could go toe-to-toe with the Ebony Warrior himself and put a _damn_ good fight lol

For me it's not even that, though all that is a solid reason. It's because of everyone in the story, she's the one who would logically be there for all of it. She's a simple person, a good person who takes her new position in life seriously yet isn't afraid to backtalk a living dragon to their face from minute one. Everyone else treats you like a living legend, Lydia treats you as her boss and a friend.

Fun fact."Farkas" means wolf in Hungarian. His brother's name, "Vilkas," also means wolf in Lithuanian. And while we are at the Companions, Kodlak Whitemane, Kodlak's name resembles the word "vukodlak" or "vlkodlak" which means "werewolf" in some Slavic languages such as Serbian, Croatian, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian.

Cant top Lydia. There I was, 12 years old, and the story is just getting juicy. I’m hailed a hero of the biggest city I’ve seen so far, by the most fatherly character I’ve yet met, and then he basically says “and I’m assigning you a new partner for your journey. Lydia! Get over here! You two will be spending a lot of time together.” It was like starting a new TV show, where the show’s protagonist gets a brand new partner in the pilot, and everyone knows it’s the start of a beautiful friendship.

That Day Lydia and others became just Mules to me - only Faendal somewhat has my respect for beeing at least a good Steward and synegizing with the Huscarl well when it comes to fighting.

I will NOT take this shade against Vorstag. He's legitimately one of my favourite followers. He may be a bit bland on the surface, but that's part of what makes him so great in my eyes. He really feels like a typical mercenary - which I find to be oddly rare in Skyrim. And, once you start travelling with him, you will notice he has some neat quirks to his character. For instance, he'll display in interest in ancient technology, such as that which went into the building of the ancient Nord ruins and, perhaps more interestingly, that of the Dwemer. His fascination with the Dwemer, paired with his proficiency with heavy armour (despite what he starts out with) along with his skill with archery and one handed make him a good fit for Dwemeri kit, too. Another thing I love about him is a line he says when exploring caves, where he says something along the lines of "Gods willing, we'll find some treasure in _this_ cave!". I'll end this off with a story from when I was travelling with Vorstag. I had come across a witch fort, with *many* witches patrolling the outside, and practically right off the bat I had been completely immobilised by them, leaving Vorstag to fight the horde of witches on his own. When I had managed defrost from the spell that froze me in place (mods), I saw that Vorstag was covered in blood, in the middle of a pile of the witches' corpses, having soloed them all. I generally find him to be a fun follower to have around, and I think you folks here who have bothered to read this far should give him a chance.

I always go with Erik the Slayer. Even before I knew the IRL story I liked him for his enthusiastic personality. The fact that he’s a tribute character makes it all the better. Also with a good two-hander he hits like a truck, and I swear he seems to activate the kill animations more often than other followers I’ve had. It’s not uncommon to have him just instakill an enemy the second their health drops. Only downside is that he blocks… A LOT, and since he’s best at two-handed weapons he can get stuck just standing there with his guard up.

And it always makes me roll my eyes. Same as the other enshrined cancer-victim in the south end of Fallout 4's Nukaworld DLC. It just comes across as shallow virtue-signalling on the part of Bethesda. Maybe when I get cancer I should contact Bethesda so I can become an NPC in TESVI. I mean most of my family are probably going to die of it sooner or later. Maybe I can get all of us in there. Maybe if we all try hard, we can get the game populated entirely by cancer victims.

@@SotiCoto I share your hatred of shallow virtue-signalling but I'm puzzled as to why you think Erik the Slayer is an example of that? His last significant wish was to go for a tour of Bethesda and his knowledge of their games impressed them to the point that they let him play a test-build; it was clearly very meaningful to him and you just know that he would've been wishing to live to play the release build at least once. In recognition of how much their games reached him (which has got to be a pretty touching feeling to know that your work has influenced one so much that their dying wish would be to come see more of it) they permanently depicted him in Skyrim and now his story is known to the vast majority of elder scrolls fans. Shallow virtue-signalling would have been a tweet or something from the Bethesda account acknowledging his passing. Proliferating his memory in the minds of hundreds of thousands of players, creating meaning for some who took him along as a companion and made new memories with him in the game, I find that to be anything but shallow. I'm sure Erik would have been honoured by it if he was here, and at the end of the day what matters most is what he would've thought of it. How can you signal to a person that isn't alive anymore? That was actual virtue I think.
@SentientMeatloaf1
@SentientMeatloaf1 9 ай бұрын
@@SotiCotocome on. In order to virtue signal you actually have to signal it. The only place you find these facts are little factoid videos like this. It’s not a secret, but at the same time there are no signs posted in game or pop up windows that explain the meta story as you’re trying to play the game. This is the furthest thing from virtue signaling I’ve ever seen and we need to stop lumping in actual acts of genuine kindness with the shallow “I have the correct beliefs” dog whistles that virtue signaling actually is. Just because one can twist the situation to seem like it by being as pessimistic as possible, doesn’t mean one should.

She also comes from a noble house Telvanni, so if you also want to marry a girl from aristocratic family, that's Brelyna.

One unfortunate thing about Farkas is that when he joins you to retrieve the fragment of Wuuthrad, when he shapeshifts into a Werewolf, he drops his Skyforged Steel Greatsword. After that moment, the game defaults him to an Iron Greatsword, severely crippling his damage output. You can pick it up yourself, which can help if you're a Two-Handed build (but you get access to a Skyforged Weapon upon completion of the quest), but you can't trade it back to him since he's assigned as a temporary companion.

I just love how insane Marcurio’s destruction magic gets. He starts throwing exploding fireballs before you’ve even seen a dwarven sword on a playthrough and it made me laugh until I cried when I first saw it.

@@Minka-ot9xl Really? Happened to me every time in the last version I care to get. I had an Edition that had several Creation Club mods integrated into it, most notably a stupid Survival Mode option that you can turn on & off on the fly. I say stupid because you are constantly in danger of hypothermia freezing and Fire Spell or a BURNING torch only temp delay, NOT STOP, the freezing and yet somehow food made with rare fire salt can stop hypothermia for a longer time. A FRICKING NAKED FLAME except for inns and certain settlements cannot prevent freezing. Stupid. Anyway the version also had the Saints and Sinners mod.

My go-to follower would be Marcurio, I had him and Serena follow me for a while. I have a soft spot for Marcurio, I mean he is good looking and great at magic and I like his dialogues. Me and Macurio found Serena and I never bothered to take her to the castle so I could have two followers. It was good idea so I could harvest more dragon souls. I was at level 20 and my sneak skill 100 when I came out of Helgen :) *I am an apprentice wizard, not a pack mule! Oh very well, but make it quick* *If these ruins frighten you, take comfort in the knowledge that I am here* *Do try not to set off any traps, will you?* Are three of my favourite dialogues from him.

Me and Marcurio are literally best friends. I hired him my first play through and he’s been with me everywhere. He’s came with me in all of the college of winterhold quests, Dark brotherhood quests, theives guild quests, half of the main quest line. And he is still with me. He’s only died once and it made my heart drop because me and him were fighting forswarn and I accidentally hit him with a fire bolt. I loaded my last save. Anyway, he’s a great follower I think he should be in S

Kharjo is the best companion. Period. He's the only one who gives a damn about YOU. While he will be happy to get his amulet back, he says right up front that he doesn't want you to be hurt or killed; he values your life more than his own interests. He also has a funny, friendly personality that adds to any playthrough, is easy to find, and is well equipped from the first (level-appropriate) moments he is with you. Mechanically, he can be given (or will pick up) and will use magic staves. He's a good archer if you give him a good bow. He's a tank that does well with sword-and-board one hand weapons, very good in heavy armor. Download a mod to break his low level cap and you have the most S-tier of companions.

Can we just call to attention the fact that this guy is calling Dunmer "Bosmer"? Edit* 1:55 Beleval 100% looks like a Dunmer not a Bosmer, but it turns out she is indeed a Bosmer, so I'm actually wrong in this instance. To be fair, the lighting in Fort Dawnguard is absolutely terrible. Honestly, the hair should have been a dead give away that I was wrong.

I'm an extreme introvert, that almost never goes outside or socializes and I have more followers than Starfield. That being said, I LOVE that you can have even the most worthless NPCs as followers, it adds to the ability to role play and really make the game yours. I've hired coznak as a "follower" despite being terrible, because I was RPing as a Miner and crafter in the city, and hired him for "protection". They all serve a purpose, even if they aren't fleshed out and deep.

I agree. Since most of the followers are rather bland, you can project anything you want onto them. This is perfect for Roleplaying. I travelled all across Skyrim with Cosnach. And when you mod the game in order to make it more challenging, a Cosnach is better than no follower at all. My favorite folloower os Gorr, a Redguard former Arena combatant with a taste for horkers.. He's added in the interesting NPCs mod. There are plenty more interesting followers in that mod. I highly recommend it.

My early game adventures with Faendal are always the most memorable moments of the game in any playthrough. When I’m at the most vulnerable in the game it feels like me and Faendal against the world, especially during my legendary survival playthrough. Seeing Fondle constantly in dougdougs videos also contributes to this appreciation.

@@shinymainespoon Yes, and all the other Altmers are either Thalmor, or no fighters. I think, it makes sense. For one because Skyrim is so far away, its in the other Side of Tamriel. There are plenty other lands, a high Elf could go to. Secondly, Summerset is ruled by a Nazi Regime. So every fighter is in the army (Thalmor), or died trying to defend his home. So there cant be a lot of Altmer fighters out there, and If one desertet, He may ended somewehre outside the influence of the Thalmor. Maybe Hammerfell.
