I love Mjoll the Lioness but she talks too [censored] much

do you have to say something every 30 seconds?

J'zargo is great but I don't like the cockiness remember Otto from Rocket Power? Same thing just a mage

Brelyna Maryon keeps hitting me during combat mainly with her staff or flame atronachs

discuss....

Lydia. My time with her involved a bad attitude, blocking doors, and death.

Barbas - Fourth Wall breaking pusher of Heroes over cliffs.

Serana - "What do You need?".

Serana. I hate pretty much everything about the querulous cow.

see, i just don't take followers anymore..

I use Derkeethus and he is NOT annoying.

He keeps his distance.

Follows the same path as you most of the time (FYI: if you take a path around a trap trigger, he follows it so he stays off traps like you).

His sneak is quite high (I caught him using the higher leveled perks in sneak). This also doesn't count enchanting his boots, like I did.

He is a good shot with bows and a good shot with magic (if given staves).

He is very quiet (rarely says much unless I provoke him to speak).

He's essential so no worries about him dying or losing him (essential characters teleports to you when changing cells. Non-essentials do not, it seems).

He doesn't attack unless he is spotted (so both you and him can sneak around the enemy just fine. Done it b4 myself plenty of times).

etc...

Now as for followers I did found annoying... Serana and her resurrection spells. Lydia. Barbas. Etc. A lot of obvious ones.

I recently did the Dawnguard quest in the Forgotten Vale and discovered you could have Serena "wait" at the beginning and then she would appear only at the end for the cut scenes, etc. I was so happy. So much nicer alone in the forgotten vale than with Serena summoning every living thing and yelling all the time. I like my peace and quiet when I kill stuff.
