Hi.

I am just starting out on my first game and have met my first potential follower Faendal at Riverwood. Are there any guides how best to use followers or control them?

Thanx

Nope. It's a pretty simple system.

They can die, so watch out.

They can be commanded to do things, like go places and open doors.

They can store/carry some of your items.

Anything they do, you are held accountable.

Some followers are better at certain things than others.

Here's a link for anything else: http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=skyrim%20followers&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uesp.net%2Fwiki%2FSkyrim%3AFollowers&ei=fZ7UTuKhKcOcgwfDvP2sAQ&usg=AFQjCNHNoaYEoeIIS-AOQVeclL8ysqXbxA&cad=rja

can they ride horses? or how they keep up when you do that?

They cant even keep up when you sprint, its annoying. They need to give them the Dr Watson teleport method.

Faendal will also train archery so add him as a follower, train up, open his inventory and get a full refund

Thanx guys
