I was wondering, do all NPC's level to your current level now? Because I have had Faendel since level 1, I am now level 15, and he is still kicking ass with Imperial Light Armor....not to mention a Frost Dragon just attacked Angi's Mill ( or Anga?) anyway, it attacked the mill and those three workers kicked its ass, not a single one of them got downed. Playing on Master.

If they do, Im pretty happy, because that means I dont have to go companion hunting every 10 levels.

Followers have been leveling with you since the 1.6 patch.

I didnt know this. do they gain new perks.

Sweet baby jesus banana jamma! Are you serious? I was -not- aware of this at all. But what about the townsfolk now, because I noticed as I level up, they are getting better weapons. For example. When I first went to windhelm at level 3 , Niranya (sp?) had an iron dagger, and now at 15, she has an orcish dagger. And like I said, these 3 mill workers killed a frost dragon, without my help.

That would explain, if they do, why faendel was kicking my ass when he turned on me cuz i accidently hit a guard with an arrow >_<.
