Aside from battle effectiveness, followers are judged on how good of a friend they are when traveling with them, which includes their conversation and encounters with their surroundings and the Dragonborn. Followers provide extra muscle and companionship in the lovely in-game setting, following players through frozen waste, pine forest, or dank and deadly dungeon.Īlthough some followers shine brilliantly, others fall flat, especially when fighting against spell-casting cat-men and drunk, enraged barbarians. It’s difficult to doubt Bethesda’s huge fantasy RPG’s consistency and engrossing charm eight years after its publication, with most gamers still adventuring around the Nords’ homeland (minus a few bugs and horses being able to traverse at 90-degree inclines).Įvery rock, herb, and troll in the game has been meticulously detailed, and the game’s followers are no exception.
Skyrim is a tribute to how much time and commitment players and developers will commit to a game if they are genuinely excited about it.
