In a comedic video, a Skyrim enthusiast explores the limitations of utilizing ten followers at once in the game. Although the game's followers are intriguing characters, it's not always feasible to have them all in action simultaneously.
Each follower in Skyrim possesses unique attributes that make them valuable companions. While some excel in close-combat fighting, others bring an element of entertainment to the journey. For instance, Cicero, the jester, may not be the most formidable follower, but he adds humor to the game in contrast to more serious companions like Aela the Huntress. Ultimately, players seek different qualities in their followers depending on personal preference, and Skyrim offers an array of options to choose from.
A humorous video clip shared by Redditor Ebony_Phoenix showcased the drawbacks of using more followers than intended in Skyrim. In the clip, the player is blocked from going upstairs due to the presence of all their followers, leaving them helpless. This issue is not uncommon, as the base game only allows for one follower at a time and even they can cause obstruction. To enable multiple followers, players have to resort to using a Skyrim mod, but this clip serves as a warning that it may not be the best idea. Some thread participants suggested using a mod that disables follower collision to solve the issue, while others proposed using the Fus Ro Dah shout, although this may create more problems.
It will be intriguing to witness the approach Bethesda takes with the follower system in The Elder Scrolls 6. While Skyrim's followers were commendable, Fallout 4's followers were arguably superior, and it's impressive to see the developer strive for improvements in this fundamental aspect of the game. While some fans may want to see the return of certain Skyrim followers, a fresh start could potentially bring more excitement to the franchise. The challenge lies in implementing a system that allows for multiple followers without detracting from the overall experience, but if executed properly, it could elevate the level of interaction between characters. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is now available on various platforms such as PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
