lazyskeever Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 In Oblivion NPCs that were marked as essential would simply enter a temporary ragdoll, impervious to harm if theiri health reached 0. What came to mind for me was that this mechanic could be used on NPC followers if you prefer to play without risking their death. In vanilla Skyrim, followers will simply kneel when they are near death and enemies will completely ignore him/her. But they can still be killed by you which can get extremly annoying (for example their hitbox still acts as if they are standing up, which has fooled me many times over when trying to shoot enemies behind them). I think a cool alternative would be to make your follower unconscious instead and remain a ragdoll for the duration of the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
