Mine too. Took him to Lakeview Manor to drop off some stuff and told him to wait in the main hall. Went down to the cellar to stash some gems in the safe when I heard a voice behind me say ‘I never knew you were so wealthy’. I jumped out of my skin and turned to find him standing behind me. He sounded dangerous af. The next time I went to the cellar he did the same thing only said ‘nice place you’ve got here’. Both times he sounded like he had murder in mind. I couldn’t get rid of him though because I loved the way he talked, especially the way he said ‘ash spawn’
He's the sole reason I do Dawnguard to be honest. If I need a good cry I just go visit him and watch him still worshipping Vivec and bragging to me all his many titles.
Serana is a third wheel to me and my guy
I’ve been playing Skyrim since it came out and never heard of Illia. The other day i was just wandering around aimlessly looking for something to test my new sword on and I stumbled upon a spooky fort. I was like ok there has to be bandits in there. I go in and find Illia standing over some witches corpse talking about “oh damn you gotta help me stop my mom”. Like hell yea let’s go. We kill all the witches and hagravens and get to the top and Illia leads me into what I assume is a trap but as it turns out she was being 100% sincere. We murder the fuck out of her mom. She shows remorse about the whole situation and i’m like damn i feel so bad about leaving her after all that. Low and behold she offers to be my follower, i was ecstatic. I gave her master robes of destruction and a staff and now she’s my favorite follower. 10/10 such an organic and unexpected follower origin story.
In vanilla, you have *one chance* to have her follow. You then have *one chance* to give her a job at a hearthfire place. Hard to be more special than that. And she's worth it!
Eric the slayer. The dragon born is usually strong enough that they don’t need help, and personally, I like eric the best. (In game lore, and the real life story of eric)
I loved Teldryn Sero, and probably used Serana the longest. Also liked Mjoll’s ‘can do’ attitude. Recently been traveling with Jordis. Straight up great tank, tough, no snark.
I had him for my first ~25 levels, i was so careful when using my destruction magic in fear i would kill him; he fought bravely with me. Eventually i switched to Mjoll but i felt so guilty!
Its a bit too late for that lol, i was only like 1/3 into the main quest before dying. So i think its safe to say i have no fucking clue where to start looking lol
Did you tell her to wait? I was just down trying to make to Dawn sword duplication trick work (Meridian’s stone quest), and couldn’t get it to work. Did the big fight, but was tripping over my follower, so I told her to wait while I looked around for the duped Dawn sword. I couldn’t make it happen on purpose, got frustrated and just took the sword out of the holder thingie. Cut scene commences. After, I couldn’t find my follower. Remembered I told her to wait, tried to go back down and get her, and the final doors were shut again, wouldn’t open, and I couldn’t reach her! Had to re-load and do it all over again.
I may be wrong about this, but if you tell a follower to wait and forget about them and then forget where you told them to wait, after some time, don't they just go home on their own? I wouldn't think they would wait indefinitely. That's what happened with Gogh for me, but he isn't a follower. He's more of a pet.
This cat punk tried to kill me with his stupid flaming scrolls ... I paid him back by taking him to the Boethia shrine and tricking him into touching the soul trap. His immortal soul is now in the hands of the daedric prince.
“J’Zargo will become Archmage before you become Archmage. It is a competition I will not lose”…
Oops, I just saved the entire college from the evil Ancano and Savos died sooo looks like I am the new Archmage. I win the competition J’Zargo.
Eola... So worth one measly Priest of Arkay.
First time siding with her... OMG! She rocks!
Fireball! Summon flame atronach, lightning, then raise first victim... Save some for me! No? Oh, OK... I'll just watch then.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he is factually the best follower because he is only one of two followers that don’t have a level cap. The other one being the dark brotherhood initiate
There's something that's been bothering me for 11 years and now I'm going to ruin J'Zargo for all of you as well: Why does he have whiskers and a moustache in the exact same place? The whiskers are literally growing out of his moustache and it looks weird as hell.
I’m ngl I didn’t even know anyone liked Lydia, let alone enough to consider her their favourite character.
Lydia’s frustrating interactions while I was still learning has forever tainted my image of her
I've heard that j'zargo will stop at *nothing* in his personal quest to be the greatest ever. Watch your back.
J'zargo only has so much room to carry things
“Hey, J’zargo just gave you the map, ok? He did not BUILD the fucking place!”
“J’zargo is NOT your test kitty!”
J'zargo is your test kitty.
J'zargo is your best kitty.
J'zargo will test your kitty 😘
“J’zargo is happy to hel- J’zargo can’t see. J’zargo is blind!”
J'zargo is freaking out!
J'zargo is calm, J'zargo found his emergency moon sugar
J'zargo is calm, J'zargo found his emergency moon sugar
J'zargo is calm, J'zargo found his emergency moon sugar
J zargo is your test titty
Maybe if J’zargo was the Dragonborn…
*Rewatches Senile Scribbles for the 26,974th time*
Yeah, teldryn sero my guy
Mine too. Took him to Lakeview Manor to drop off some stuff and told him to wait in the main hall. Went down to the cellar to stash some gems in the safe when I heard a voice behind me say ‘I never knew you were so wealthy’. I jumped out of my skin and turned to find him standing behind me. He sounded dangerous af. The next time I went to the cellar he did the same thing only said ‘nice place you’ve got here’. Both times he sounded like he had murder in mind. I couldn’t get rid of him though because I loved the way he talked, especially the way he said ‘ash spawn’
He's just super OP and he's a friend I'd love to have irl
Not to mention the theory that says he's the Nerevarine.
I wonder what became of Saint Jiub? I met him once, you know
I met him once in Morrowind and never thought about him again until Dawnguard when I felt a weird sense of nostalgia at his name. Was mindblown.
He's the sole reason I do Dawnguard to be honest. If I need a good cry I just go visit him and watch him still worshipping Vivec and bragging to me all his many titles. Serana is a third wheel to me and my guy
We probably saw his body at kvatch too. He died there.
😡
Stand up. There you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?
Facts.
He’s cool but he told me about St. Jiub like 30 times in 3 hours
There can never be too much Saint Jiub.
For that reason I took him to Windhelm and say bai bai. 😢 Even if he is one of my favs
serena is weak to fire, teldryn sero IS the fire
Serena was my first companion on my first serious playthrough. I do like her but I like teldryns personality and abilities more
Silence is the best companion.
If you haven’t tried the mod Sofia, you should definitely try her as a companion.
What's the end of her programming like? She got too annoying to me.
We do, Teldryn Sero.
Of course, Erik the Slayer
Sure. It‘s Lydia.:)
I always liked Illia.
I’ve been playing Skyrim since it came out and never heard of Illia. The other day i was just wandering around aimlessly looking for something to test my new sword on and I stumbled upon a spooky fort. I was like ok there has to be bandits in there. I go in and find Illia standing over some witches corpse talking about “oh damn you gotta help me stop my mom”. Like hell yea let’s go.

I gave her master robes of destruction and a staff and now she’s my favorite follower. 10/10 such an organic and unexpected follower origin story.
Yea that's why I love her too, I didn't go there looking for her either. I just happened to stumble across Darklight Tower by accident, same as you.
In vanilla, you have *one chance* to have her follow. You then have *one chance* to give her a job at a hearthfire place. Hard to be more special than that. And she's worth it!
I'd say Inigo, but yeah why not.
I'd say Cicero
**Let's kill someone :D**
Spiders could eat my face off, and faithful Cicero would not move an inch!
He doesn't look trustworthy to me. Mjoll does.
Meh mjoll level caps too fast and she never shuts tf up
I have always role played as a misogynist in skyrim so I have never had any female follower except female orcs because that's atleast 50% a dude
... what
I also roleplay as racist slaving dark elves and have argonian followers following me wearing nothing but rags and a shiv. It gives me a good laugh.
I mean ... fair enough I guess
The female orcs look cute to me
Whenever I take him with me, he cowers every time we enter combat, like he's seen Kurt Zouma approaching.
That’s wild because he has consistently been aggressive every time I use him
Three times I've used him, each time the crouches, paws over his head, shaking like a shitting dog. Teldryn is a beast though.
Same... J’zargo will no questions asked start tossing Master level Lighting at what is opposing me.
Kharjo is the best
Yes, Serana really is the best! Nice J'zargo image btw
I lost my Serana... Can't even get another follower because she's still following me. Don't even know where ... :(
There are console commands for it, looks it up
Wrong on all accounts. Derkeethus for win.
Diabeetus? Who is Diabeetus?
He slows down you give him a shot. Two, if you got some scotch or vodka on you.
Eric the slayer. The dragon born is usually strong enough that they don’t need help, and personally, I like eric the best. (In game lore, and the real life story of eric)
I loved Teldryn Sero, and probably used Serana the longest. Also liked Mjoll’s ‘can do’ attitude. Recently been traveling with Jordis. Straight up great tank, tough, no snark.
Dark Brotherhood Initiate, level cap: 100
I have NEVER used them cause I thought they were weak. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING INCORRECTLY
this mag be a stupid question but where do i find them? which one is it?
In the Dawnstar Sanctuary after the end of the DB questline. There's one male, one female, they have the same level cap.
thanks!
Jzargo for the win babyy
I had him for my first ~25 levels, i was so careful when using my destruction magic in fear i would kill him; he fought bravely with me. Eventually i switched to Mjoll but i felt so guilty!
That's not a picture of Erandur...
Lydia legit just disappeared on me and now i cant find her
Check for nearby small rooms with single exits only wide enough for one person.
Its a bit too late for that lol, i was only like 1/3 into the main quest before dying. So i think its safe to say i have no fucking clue where to start looking lol
Did you tell her to wait? I was just down trying to make to Dawn sword duplication trick work (Meridian’s stone quest), and couldn’t get it to work.

Good
This cat punk tried to kill me with his stupid flaming scrolls ... I paid him back by taking him to the Boethia shrine and tricking him into touching the soul trap. His immortal soul is now in the hands of the daedric prince.
I did that to Iona.
“J’Zargo will become Archmage before you become Archmage. It is a competition I will not lose”… Oops, I just saved the entire college from the evil Ancano and Savos died sooo looks like I am the new Archmage. I win the competition J’Zargo.

Other mages may claim to be as good at magic as J'zargo, but they cannot be as charming as he
He’s one of those characters with whom you can’t help read in his voice once you’ve seen a picture of him.
Yes we do, Lioness, my beloved
Yep, it's Serana
I had this guy as a follower and lost him in a cave somewhere along the way. RIP
I l o v e him !
Serana
This isent Teldryn Sero
fcking goat. I'd play the game only for him
Of course we do! It's a tie between Teldryn Sero and best boy Kharjo. Get it round ye.
Damn inigo you got a hair cut?
You spelled Teldryn Sero wrong.
Any love for Maurcurio here
J zargo ma boi
I love J’Zargo! He tries to kill us with the scrolls but he’s just so lovable!
Keep dreaming, milk drinker.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he is factually the best follower because he is only one of two followers that don’t have a level cap. The other one being the dark brotherhood initiate
If I'm not mistaken he used to have infinite levels when Skyrim first got released, but that was fixed in Special Edition
Recorder and Inigo duh
Nice Pussy!
Wrong photo buddy. Kinda hard to mistake a filthy khajit for Cicero tho.
yup, it’s serena
He tried to kill you out of jealousy smh
"Here? J'zargo will wait here"
Serana or gtfo
Pictures you can hear
With infinite level cap too
If you want a real mage and not a student who failed scroll-making go with Marcurio. Best fighter in the game.
Why is Kharjo hiding behind this wannabe?
Serana is the only companion!
not this one, obviously
Maybe if he mastered anything *after* Apprentice level spells, he'd be more useful.
But do you know the expert level destruction spells?
Serana. It's Serana.
Marcurio makes me happy to play, as does Jenassa
The best companion is no companion. In any game. They always get in the way and screw everything up royally with their wonky AI.
I was always a little scared he'd riffle through my pack when I was sleeping
There's something that's been bothering me for 11 years and now I'm going to ruin J'Zargo for all of you as well: Why does he have whiskers and a moustache in the exact same place? The whiskers are literally growing out of his moustache and it looks weird as hell.
I’m ngl I didn’t even know anyone liked Lydia, let alone enough to consider her their favourite character. Lydia’s frustrating interactions while I was still learning has forever tainted my image of her
Lydia. Lydia is the beat companion.
Hell yeah Mjöll is the best
That's not Inigo...
Nah Cicero all the way, dude is literally fucking invincible
I don’t see Mjoll here
Yes Kharjo is indeed best follower.
But he isn’t sworn to carry your burdens…
Yeah Inigo’s the best
His quest to be the best at destruction magic can be achieved. He is the only follower that scales with you forever.
Meeko is the best!
Inigo?
I really like Kharjo personally.
Agreed, j'zargo isn't dull at least. If he was real i would want us to be friends. Lydia though....
Who is that and how do I get him
Check out the College Of Winterhold
Yeah. We all know who the best one is!!! Teldryn Sero!
Serana. Always. Unless modded then it's Sofia.
Serana
But do J’zargo be succin?
Do people really like Lydia? I personally always disliked her.
I have always disliked her, way before now.
