I restarted a game after a long time not being able to play and thought this time I would use some followers for variety. The "problem" is that I play as a mage/sorcerer/conjurer so as soon as I got my first fireballs/chain lightning I was afraid to use them in case I damaged my followers and killing my horse. Especially the horse has this unhealthy tendency to attack anyone and everyone who even looks at me sideways. I admire it but it also tends to get in my way and then drop dead...

So i dismissed Lydia and retired my horse in Whiterun to munch away at hay happily. Does anyone have the same problem or do you guys not worry about this. I especially don't want to get a boundy or any crime stats as my character does not want to get a bad rep
