Not in the base game, but there’s a mod that allows just that. This will save time and resources, but make gameplay a bit more difficult. Having said that, a similar follower can also be effective, as you can allow them to use your equipment as you upgrade to better variants. Whereas if you’re a warrior, loving being in the thick of a fight, a strong-ranged follower is a good option. So if you’re an archer, or spellcaster, you’ll want a follower who can front-line for you, diverting attention while you deal damage from range. You’re best choosing one that compliments your weaknesses. You can even marry some followers, which will grant the Lover’s Comfort buff upon sleeping next to them, increasing skill gain rate by 35%. They can be made to carry items for you, outfitted with different weapons/armor (depending on the follower), and unlock various conversation options. What are followers?įollowers are NPC characters, who follow you on your adventures and assist in combat. They all have different stats, different preferences for equipment, and different ways of acquiring. With over 70 followers available in Skyrim, finding the right one for you can be tough. Every Skyrim player needs a loyal follower by their side, it’s one of the many features that adds to the fun gameplay and immersion of the Elder Scrolls world.
