integralx Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I can't seem to find a single mod which allows followers to die in combat, to me it's really an immersion breaker when they can just stand there and tank 4-5 enemies without dying. Anyone know of a mod or a console command which makes them killable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mortal, in the first playtrough i had lost (killed by a trap) the housescarl of breezehome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYchotic666Joker Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Honestly i have never had a follower die period. the only thing they do tend to do is fall to the ground for a minute or so then get back up, after they drop everybody ignores them and attacks me.

But I want them to die from any enemy so that I can't just use them as a punshing bag for all mobs without penalty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing i have hit and hit and hit then tons with many types of attacks from different characters. for instance the current one i'm doing is an alter pure mage and i knock lydia out almost everytime when i use my aoe spells. but she never dies.

But wasn't the point of this thread :) Again, anyone know if there is a way to make sure followers can be killed by any enemy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantGrrock Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just wanted to say that I have had followers die due to enemy action twice. I was kinda shocked both times. Walked up to Lydia's body and could loot her. She wasn't near me so I'm sure I didn't kill her either time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesapien Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah, the reason there are no mods is because it's not true and your experience could be glitch. When close to death, they go to one knee. If you're not there to distract the enemies, they may finish off your follower, or a hit by you may kill them. If this is not how it works for you, then there's something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a bit too brave for her fighting style and abilities; the fool who rushes in and easily gets surrounded so that we're both now screwed unless I do nothing to save her. I'm always role-playing the recurring scene with her jumping ahead to defend her hero.... "No, wait, Lydia, get back here! Oh, too late." Plans all out the window. Yeah, she's more of a doer.

arcanewizard Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 i think the system is fine, they can die, they aren't immortal, but if they died too easy, you have to be a babysitter if you like followers and so they need to be durable. if they died too easily it forces me to change my playstyle too much so its far better that they just go down to one knee for a bit.
