StaceyPowers Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Do you ever put off finishing a quest for a “temporary” follower to try and use them as a “permanent” one? For example, I did this with Barbas in Skyrim once to keep him around as a tank. And now I’m doing it with Mazoga in Oblivion since I like her personality and the game feels less lonely with a follower.

Reality vs Adventure Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Only pets or beasts I can tame. Any other just flops around in my way. But I guess if you have a follower with benefits...that could be an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was great for this. You could have Martin Septim, the Adoring Fan, the Knights of the Thorn, among other quest NPCs who might consist of powerful spellcasters to mostly light-armoured guard-types. I don't do this for very long because the NPCs might blow my cover in stealth, or I'm too conscious that their quest needs doing and finally give them some respite. I do so enjoy summoning creatures or pets though, it makes single player RPGs all the more bearable. ^^ StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I can barely recall permanent followers from games. If I have to name someone I'd like to keep around forever is Mona Sax. Max Payne 3 really should've starred her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 This is a tough one because I don't usually travel around with temporary followers in Skyrim. Honestly, now that I think about it, I typical don't really care for them because I know they won't be sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's only going to be a follower that really adds good input for me that would be worth my keeping for a long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
