Skyrim followers guide

In Skyrim quest npc can be a follower, even could be married to have few beneficial features.
There are two bugs/unpleasent things.
1. Though no matter is it a quest npc, follower or a spouse - they still can be killed by a friendly fire or a falmer.
2. Followers don't lvl up with you: their lvl is determined the first time you met them. Means it is a good idea to save the follower you like most for the end-game (like housecarls of some cities).

[ixthUA]

@XxcodynahxX they are where they belong - jarvaskr for companions, magi colledge for apprentices, taverns for mercenaries, houses for housecarls. if you forgot something - check skyrim wiki for followers location.

I lost my follower and he doesn't show up in any of the guilds or anything does anyone know how I can get rid of him?

Does anyone have the slightest idea why my follower won't follow me into buildings? When I get through the doors, after the loading sequence my character spawns inside of the building, but she just stays outside.

@ytsibyer followers will use daedric bow if you remove any melee weapon, their default hunting bow and give them loads of arrows. When they run out of arrows - they will summon their favorite hunting bow.

Bro how do you check the Npc's skills? Can you tell us what commands to use? I tried using getavinfo on a npc but failed. All I know is that disable/enable command thingy. Appreciate if you reply bro kk thx.

Yeah the hunting boy is getting annoying,tried the removeitem command on it but utgerth the unbroken reequips the damn bow later afterwards... I'm trying the ebony bow because someone said daedrics bows are not recognizable by npcs.

@ytsibyer getav/setav. uesp wiki seems to have too many errors.

@ytsibyer Disable/enable makes game to reinitialize npc, but not all npc can lvl up - some has low lvl limit. Also if they have 100 skill - they still don't have a single perk, so you may also consider adding perks to make them combat capable. Also don't forget to remove hunting bow each time you get a follower, cause it is their favorite weapon (until they pick iron sword from nearby bandit and use it instead of legendary daedric bow).
