I'm tired dragging Lydia around as a companion and I want a new one. But I don't want to get rid of her until I find a new companion.

So I am wondering if I have to "fire her" before I get a new companion, or can I just get a new one while she's still with me? How does that work?

And witch companion is the best?


Thanks!

There are going to be tears, that much I know.

she goes to your house in whiterun all companions goto where u find them the best is whoever u meet last cuz the lvl stays same when u meet them so whoever meet at lvl 50 will be strongest

Tell her to leave and she'll wait for you at the Jarl's place. I replaced Uthgarde with Lydia and she (Uth) went back to the tavern where I initially met her. Still had the option of inviting her back too as long as I didnt have anyother companion at the time. Later, when a quest partnered me with someone else Lydia went back to the palace. Further down the line while on my way to the court wizard's store, I ran into her relaxing at the feast table, showing off her new Orcish Greatsword to some dude whose daughter was only able to forge common steel.
