It's when the humans start sprouting tails that I'd worry.
I will not google any fanfic about human/elf/argonian/khajiit four ways.
Fanfic? This is the Elder Scrolls. I'm pretty sure that fiction is already in a book ingame somewhere. Make sure not to read the Lusty Argonian Maid... That one is just a bunch of double entendres. The really horrifying one was only in I think Daggerfall and got censored in later games by "imperial censors" (in The Real Barenziah or whatever). Cat dude on elf.

Must Find!
I just like Argonians. I really wish they'd take the Morrowind models and update them, though Skyrim is a huge improvement over the ones in Oblivion.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

The only character I've ever gone through all of Morrowind (base game plus both expansions) with in one run was a spear-using Argonian in Medium Armor who joined the Legion (So it's not difficult to see why I wasn't particularly thrilled with Oblivion!). I think I used that one rad Medium armor set intended for beast races, whose name I can't remember offhand, along with Aerelorn's Combat Enhanced, which let me do fun things like lodge my spear in someone's chest for an instant kill, albeit at the cost of disarming myself until I could retrieve my weapon.
Edit: Ah, the First Guard armor! It was this stuff: So cool.

Must Find! The copy of Argonian Maid i found was in a small cabin, which got crushed into a pulp by a huge tree that for some unexplained reason just fell on it. Crushed along with the owner. While the said owner was apparently perusing his book.

Hop into a cave, kill a couple of undead and I'm hacking away at a live person before I realize it's Lydia and she has popped out of the ether after being gone for the better part of a day. We then proceed to kill everything in the cave but the moss on the walls and exit.
On getting back to the outside world, Lydia then says, "Oh look! A cave! I wonder what's in there?" Nothing, Lids, because we just murdered the hell out of everything that WAS in there!

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I've not dragged a companion along on any adventure yet (almost level 30, killed about 15 dragons), except for that guy who wanted to accompany me to the ancient tree and got eaten by a dragon or something along the way. Maybe I should try again...

Ditto and ditto. They'd just get in my way.

I had Lydia up to level 28 (used mostly to carry loot) but she had an odd habit of getting between mobs and my fireballs. Most of my quickloads were because of her being accidentally killed by me, so I ditched her along with a fully enchanted legendary set of dragonplate armor, which was useless on her btw. Now I craft dragonplate and enchant it for profits since I play a pure mage character and have no use for it, so I don't have to pick up any loot from the dungeons. Except the stuff I'm going to disenchant. Edit: I'm at level 34 now and doing much better without her. I've done the Winterhold and most of Whitereach and Markath quests. This game is huge. Made me stop playing the Witcher, I will have a really hard time going back to playing that game after finishing Skyrim

I gave Lydia a bow and some arrows and she never was in my way again. I don't know how effective she is with it but shes little more than a pack mule anyway.

Lydia picked up a firebolt staff during our travels (entirely her own idea, she looted it off some corpse without me even noticing) and for a while was happily setting my targets on fire for extra damage, then chopping them down with the sword she'd hold in the other hand.

She's got the dremora-summoning daedric artifact staff (Sanguine Rose or whatever) in my game. She apparently loves that thing, I get demons coming in to help me on the lamest stuff. Two random wolves, better summon up a demon to help! Also something seems to have duped it, she has 2 now.

I can't bring myself to hire any other companion. She's a pain in the ass, but she can carry an ox cart worth of loot and she compliments my dual blade soooo well.

What about that feisty woman in the Whiterun tavern, the one you have to brawl for a 100$ and then she wants to be your follower? I didn't take her, but I'm curious to know what's she's like. It would be great if they gave them a bit of personaity, I would die for a follower that kind of hates you (for beating her) but respects you (for beating her).

She's pretty cool for what little I've used of her (she also has the advantage of starting the game with a set of armor three tiers higher than you can get off the bat). Basically Lydia and Jenassa (the Dunmer archer in the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun) are kind of bores, but most followers I've seen are at least interesting personality-wise.

I enjoy Jenassa, but then again I am playing a Dunmer. The best so far with her was when we walked into Lost Knife Cave killed the two guards and then entered the waterfall atrium, I said woah, with her following up with the same comment.

The best thing Lydia says is when i try to push my way past her and through some exit she's blocking -- after a few seconds of that she does a little "Oh." as her small AI brain catches up with my actions, and then she sort of moves aside. Sort of.

This game needs animal followers. Basically ones that don't talk and that you can jump and shoot over.
Edit: Looks like there are! Maybe I should go hunting for one.

Stumble on a burning house with a charred corpse. In the corpses hand? A scroll of summon flame atronach. Also...I'm closing in on 200 screenshots

I bought a dog for ~500 gold. Then as I was leaving the stables where I had just purchased the mutt, three bounty-hunters appeared out of nowhere and attacked me. The dog protected me with his life until I could headshot the three bastards with arrows. Literally. He died while doing it. It was a 20 second short friendship, but I will always remember him. Whatever I was going to name him, that's the name that I will never forget. Hypothetically speaking.

Also...I'm closing in on 200 screenshots I was exploring a random broken down house while in stealth, "Oh, wait something sees me?" I turn around and there's a Dark Brotherhood assassin stuck on the other side of the fence with what I would assume is the dumbest look ever. Oh, and the three hired goons that were sent for me after robbing some kids chest in their house, priceless.

I'm currently on daedra-related quest which involves dragging along a free dog. It easily makes Lydia a saint in comparison -- Lydia is passive-aggressive when it comes to being pain in the ass. Meantime the dog constantly, actively tries to hump me and pushes me around, whether on foot or on horse.

None of them have much personality to speak of frankly. Little hard to convey with their 5 lines of dialogue each (if you're lucky).

If anything the dogs are MORE in the way. Weak! Ah well, followers seem completely useless right now anyway as a 2h/Heavy brute. I was hoping subsequint playthroughs as mage or thief with cranked difficulty might see some uses for them besides holding your shit for you. I guess there are enough of them that you can treat them all as disposable but I always have trouble doing that. Nothing makes me rage quicker than having my path blocked by dumbshit pet AI.

I find that when I'm thiefing it up is when they're the least useful actually, I'm in light armor so I can carry a lot of loot, and they aren't around to set off traps/get caught etc.

I actually never used followers at all with my rogue character. They don't fully understand the idea of snipe/hide/snipe.
