This is a list of NPCs and creatures that will at some point or another follow you and may fight at your side. These actors follow you, rather than you following them. Thus, you may be able to use them as allies outside of the quests they are supposed to be involved with. Some of them are essential, some are not and their death may prevent you from successfully completing their related quest. By equipping them you can increase their usefulness. Some of these actors respawn, so you do not have to be careful about them getting killed while fighting at your side. However, respawning characters have their inventories reset and cannot be equipped reliably, as the equipment will disappear.

Characters marked with a yellow check mark are essential at some times but not others.

Everscamp After acquiring the Staff of the Everscamp three Everscamps will follow you. They will not fight unless a Command Creature spell is cast on them, they respawn quickly and they mostly get in the way.

Equipping Followers

One limitation of NPC followers is that they generally have mediocre equipment. And since NPCs never repair their equipment, it can become useless after a few fights. Most followers will pick up the best quality weapon available in the area when they start attacking, so all you need to do is drop a good weapon in front of them at the start of a fight.

You can add other items to your followers' inventory by reverse pickpocketing, but only if the item is zero weight. A few zero weight clothing items are available, and can be made more useful with enchantments. The best way to acquire armor, however, is by taking advantage of the permanent bound items glitch; a zero-weight version of any Bound Armor or weapon can be created this way. Enchant armor with effects like Fortify Attribute or Shield; add effects like Shock Damage or Absorb Health to a weapon. Your ally should automatically switch to the best quality item in their inventory, and will therefore equip your enchanted item. If not, fast travel or entering a new cell may be necessary.

Notes on Equipping Followers

  • Giving your allies equipment with 100% Chameleon can greatly improve their survival rate. Make sure you have Detect Life available so that you can find your allies after they have donned your special equipment.
  • If the ally you want to equip sleeps, when they wake up they will put on their armor based on its placement in their inventory list alphabetically.
  • PC users can use the additem and equipitem console commands to give their followers any piece of equipment and make them equip it.
  • Respawning followers will lose their equipment under certain conditions.

Notes

  • If you have eight followers and try to acquire a ninth, a message will pop up saying "You have too many followers." This will continue to appear every so often, but does not actually affect your game.
  • Maintaining a large entourage may cause problems in that followers can hit each other in combat and end up fighting one another.
    • Due to the nature of their attacks, followers with ranged, or area of effect attacks appear to be particularly vulnerable to this sort of behavior. Like the player however, melee-based followers must strike each other 3 times before turning hostile to one another.
    • 100% Chameleon will prevent this behavior, as followers are incapable of retaliating against invisible attackers.
    • PC users may also use the Console to increase the Disposition between followers.
  • Some followers can be given commands like Follow, Wait, or Go Away. These include most generic respawning followers. Others always follow you around, regardless if you want them to or not.
  • Some followers will not follow if you are already being followed by someone in the same faction. Others will replace the current follower from that faction.
  • Spells and effects like Command Creature, Command Humanoid, Reanimate and Summon spells technically make characters and creatures follow you for the duration of that effect.
  • For a list of followers added by the Shivering Isles Expansion see Shivering:Followers.

Bugs

  • Some followers may unequip their weapon, and refuse to reequip it. This applies to the Knights of the Nine followers.
