Novice questions re Farkas/Followers

Recommended Posts

I'm on my first Skyrim adventure and have some questions about managing followers, centered around Farkas.

 

1) Upon starting the Companion Proving Honor quest Farkas replaced Lydia as my follower. I made the mistake of telling him I'd meet up at Dustman's. Can I change that (without going back) so he will follow me around?

2) Why doesn't Farkas have the same talk options as Lydia did,,,to exchange items, and release from service?

3) I made it half way into the Crypt, but found it too tough to get past. Why didn't he turn into a warewolf again? (I tried making 1-day pass - didn't help)

4) I decided to go get stronger armor etc before coming back. Went to Riverun and asked Faendal to follow me so I could have him train me and take the gold back, but he said I already had a follower. Quick traveled back to Dustmans to dismiss Farkas, but it was not a talk option. So, it appears I'm stuck with Farkas until I complete the quest yet I don't get to have him follow me around to help elsewhere.

 

Many thanks

1. Farkas cannot become an actual follower until the full completion of the Companion quest series. Not saying anything else as that as somewhat of a spoiler itself.

 

2. Farkas isn't your actual companion, but someone who's aiding you in a quest. After the quest is complete, you can go back to Lydia to reassign her.

 

3. He only turns into a werewolf (wow I said quest) once to kill those Silver Hand members who try to ambush you when you get trapped.

 

4. Refer to number 2.

A Warning though, if you ever do a Quest with him that involves DragonTooth Canyon to Kill a Dragon, theres a Serious Bug that makes Farkas stuck with you Permanently, since the Dragon is Never there and you cannot get rid of Farkas. :wallbash:

 

You can Fus Roh Dah him off a Mountain, then you will have a dragging Dead Talking Corpse with you. :mellow:

Just make sure you have saves before getting quests. Also, try finishing the Companions quest before going to Winterhold or getting any quest from the Winterhold Jarl. There's a bug in one of the Jarl's quests that breaks the game for the Companions questline.
