Note that not all followers can be commanded, and some commands may not be carried out, either because they are physically impossible for your follower (such as picking a lock that is beyond their skill), or because they object to the command (such as being asked to attack a member of their family).īe warned, the guards will hold you responsible for any crimes you command a follower to commit!
While in the command state, you can tell your follower to:
Target your follower, then press and hold (if on console, select dialogue, 'I need you to do something.') to enter the command state. They help in combat and also carry excess inventory. Others might be ordinary townspeople inspired by your example who agree to follow you if asked.
Some are trained hirelings, mercenaries who will fight in exchange for gold. Followers are NPCs who agree to join you on your adventures.
