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

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.

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.

It’s not uncommon to have him just instakill an enemy the second their health drops.

@@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.
@SentientMeatloaf19 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.

Brelyna is my choise. No matter how low your health if the enemy won't be able to reach you, but mostly important, I choose this dunmer girl because of her personality. She is cute, shy, elegant, kind, has a great voiceover and also really love to discover everything, especially dwarven ruins. She also comes from a noble house Telvanni, so if you also want to marry a girl from aristocratic family, that's Brelyna. BTW, a very few people know that all students of the College have unique phrases while you travel with them during the College storyline.

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.

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.
