One thing you missed about the Rieklings: You don't have to chose one as a companion. If you run the quest to become their Chief, then just leave without taking one along, a whole group of them will randomly show up when you are in a big fight, and join in on your side. I've had them show up during a fight with a dragon, and inside a dungeon in a boss fight. It's pretty funny when they are all hooting at me and each other.

[@nefariouspixelblood8514]

its a double negative, and yes it irritates the crap out of me. his grammar is shit, but his videos are good... so i try to ignore his moments of ignorance. unfortunately his moments of ignorance are in all of his videos... i think he does it intentionally to get the intellectuals like us to bite, so best just to grind teeth and ignore anyway.

[@callmemaggie8024]

YES. Marcurio getting the respect he deserves.

I almost always use Kharjo as a follower. I love him so much. It's just sad you can't marry him in the vanilla game. Him, Jzargo and Serana are my go to followers.

[@B92LG]

I just stumbled upon maybe my new favorite early-game follower: Rayya, the Housescarl of Falkreath. First she's wearing a Alik'r Hood as long as you don't give her headgear, looking incredibly cool; and (as long as you don't give her a shield) she's dual-wielding scimitars and becomes quite powerful with her attacks. She allegedly goes down in boss fights earlier than Lydia because she isn't blocking, but I really haven't felt any of that - and she makes just so much more damage. I was searching for a Dwemer ruin during the "Lost to the Ages" quest, got attacked by a dragon and some DB Cultists at the same time, fought them off, then went searching for her and discovered that the fight had awaken Krosis and while I was busy fighting the Cultists she just took care of Krosis by herself

Well, technically...I think Rieklings do eat humans albeit more out of necessity. They seem to eat anything they can get their tiny grubby hands on to.

[@thornwalker8970]

Kharjo is also very special in that he can... TRAVEL IN TIME During the flashback in which the dovahkiin learns the shout dragonrend, there’s a possibility that Kharjo travels with in the flashback too 😂 I don’t know if it’s only Kharjo that can do that or if any follower has a chance to time travel but it was the only time I ever saw it and it was epicc

Marcurio is a badass, I recruited him when I was already quite the high lvl, back then it automatically scaled to my character's level. Dude decimated everything.

[@helantopia]

Does he have a level cap or is the like J'zargo?

[@slysheogorath3122]

I use inigo on all my playthroughs. Love that little guy

I sometimes go with Inigo too. He's funny.

[@cubaris]

Kharjo!! I love him :'D I always choose him as my follower!! I wish he was a marriage candidate tho

[@zent8324]

mods are your friends! i used relationship dialogue overhaul to marry him (and j'zargo), it works swell

[@yikesandsuch]

marcurio has been my follower in every playthrough since the game came out. he and shadowmere always start fighting though 😂

[@trevorclaus1432]

@TheEpicNate315 Something funny I have experienced with Kharjo that I didn't see mentioned: Whenever I have Kharjo with me and drops to 25--30 percent health. He will put away whatever weapon he is using and outright bail, running until the fight is over, at which point he will walk back. Seeing this makes it especially funny when he declares to dead enemies "What a coward, didn't even put up a proper fight"

[@lakotaradke4009]

I love watching your videos Nate! Please keep up the good work

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Vigilance is my favorite companion. I always get a bit sad when I accidentally fireball-murder him to death trying to kill a drauger.

[@kazannakutz5404]

You would think they would learn their lesson after the first few fireballs to the back of the head but they still run right in front of you

Hello Nate. I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Been waiting for this one.

[@Styxintheriver]

I LOVE Karjo. He’s really funny and he runs axe and shield, like me. It adds to the adventuring part of it.

[@MartynWilkinson45]

Once you become chief, you can get randomly helped by rieklings on Solsteim. If you recruit a warrior from them instead of the meadhall, they'll use two handed swords instead of bows, making them much better in melee. They also can equip light armor, so with enough skill in smithing and enchanting you can make them as tough as any human follower. I found two meatsheilds to be handy for my squishy mage character, right up until someone hit someone else and we had our own civil war. Never did forgive Lydia for murdering our little buddy...

I bought a dog from Banning once. A few minutes later it ran in front of me while fighting Nimhe and I oneshot it with a fireball.

[@stressedtwentyfourseven875]

I'm so glad Nate listed Kharjo. He's been one of my favorate followers since I started playing Skyrim as a kid. It's funny now, but then it was very comforting to have a fluffy cat kicking butt by my side.
