acuratechman Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Can anyone tell me why when i outfit my follower with armor and a weapon, they only use their fists when in combat. So damn annoying. I cant get them to use the sword i provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 That's odd. My follower always uses the weapons I give him. Which follower is this and what weapon are you giving him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremeW5257 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I had the exact same problem. I ended up modifying the follower with the NPC Editor and just gave them Destruction Spells. At least they used that...until they ran out of Magicka. Eventually, I bumped up their stats with the console commands, so they never run out of Magicka or Health, so at least they would keep their distance from the enemy. It's not a perfect system, but currently I have 5 female followers and they all use Sparks Destruction spells, so they don't do much damage (since I''m playing on Master and have the Custom Difficulty Mod) but it looks cool when they surround a Giant or something and shock the hell out of it. They manage to distract it so I can go in for the kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpestilence Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Try giving them non-enchanted stuff. I have never been able to get Lydia to use enchanted weapons, with the exception of staves and the Axe of Whiterun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
