Every Skyrim fan and the methods for obtaining them

Fans of Skyrim might be anything from important plot points to tough guys with powerful fists, each having a specific role to play in your journey throughout Tamriel. We are thus here to assist you in finding and hiring the ideal partner, whether you're searching for a combatant, a romantic partner, or someone to carry your belongings.

However, if you're searching for a partner, you might also want to look through our guides on Skyrim marriage and Skyrim houses so you have a place to call home and raise a family (or a place to put all that stuff your follower forced you to carry; we don't judge).

Everything in our Skyrim followers guide is as follows:

Everyone who follows Skyrim

The list of all Skyrim companions, their locations, and the conditions you must fulfill in order to enlist them as your new friends are provided below. Prepare yourself for a lengthy read—there are about one hundred followers.

The mandatory tasks listed here may need choices. It should go without saying that you should never choose to reject a Skyrim follower that you would want to accompany you. For instance, if you murder Cicero during the mission The Cure for Madness, you certainly cannot have him as a follower—that is, unless you want to utilize Skyrim modifications to bring him back to life.

Equipment for Skyrim followers

By just conversing with your follower, you may exchange items. Simply ask them to carry the better equipment if you want to give it to them. Although you can't make them use it, Skyrim friends often make use of the better goods in their inventory.

They may also be used as a kind of mule ("I am sworn to carry your burdens," says Lydia sourly). Once you give them all of your bulky dragon bones and other items, you may resume moving at full speed.

My follower in Skyrim vanished

There are many fixes you may do if your Skyrim friend vanishes:
  • Find a new follower, ask them to join you, and then go back to where the original follower lives to find them and recruit them again
  • Fast travel to your last destination
  • Sleep in a bed
  • Restart the game

Over the course of over a decade of playing this game much too often, I can say that the first of these alternatives has always worked for me. However, the other possibilities serve as good backups.

Can a follower of Skyrim pass away?

Except for the necessary ones, the majority of your Skyrim friends may perish if they are not in your company. Be cautious if a combat breaks out in a location where one of these followers isn't actively supporting you.

Once allies are on your side, they won't pass away quickly. Instead, the follower loses all ability when their health is too low. They will no longer be targeted by the adversary, yet they may still perish in this situation. To prevent them from being caught in any AoEs or crossfire, you must relocate the combat away from them after they are disabled.

However, you have the ability to manually eliminate your following. This implies that you should use caution while swinging. I'm not proud to say how many times I have murdered a follower while using a ranged build myself. Just remember to save often if this is causing you a great deal of worry.

All of the Skyrim followers, friends, or anyone you want to name them, are right there. With Skyrim maps, Skyrim cure vampirism, and Skyrim creation club guidelines, we have even more.
