StayFrosty05 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 So who or what is your favorite Follower/Companion with a difference? Not counting Humans/Elves/Khajiits/Argonians, do you have a favored offsider and what's special about this offsider? Mines a Snowy Sabre Cat....ring summoned....his the only companion I use now....His specialness: Brilliantly powerful Tank and distraction, perfect crowd control....lets my Dovahkin sneak without giving him away, jostling him or sticking that nose where it shouldn't be found....looking at you Barbos.... :dry: ...not too bad at mountain goating with my Dovahkin (rock jumping down cliff faces).....And is a real boon and life saver with 'Skyrim's Monster Mod', 'Lush Grasses' mod and 'Sounds of Skyrim' mod...the cat can see/hear them coming....Oh, and Dragons concentrate on the cat. The cat does have his downsides too though...Things can get very crowded in tight spaces and it takes the cat forever to turn around or back out if things are tight...unlike Barbos though, the cat will try to get out of the way....if his really stuck yes the ring can come off for a moment, though the sounds this makes usually alerts any enemy that may be close by to your presence....Spriggans can take control of him (that one seems kinda hit and miss)....If he gets in the way of your sword and takes a few strikes, he will turn on you....Otherwise perfect... :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpestilence Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I don't see why this is in the Spoiler section... This isn't even an option in an unmodded game. The cat sounds cool, though. What mod is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cat sounds cool, though. What mod is that? The Mod: 'Summon Animal Pets" .... http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4034 As for the spoiler section, I figured in case anyone wanted defend the vanilla dog choices and debate their usefulness.... :happy: Edited May 17, 2012 by StayFrosty05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRavyn Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yes, this belongs in the Spoiler section, bpestilence, and for exactly the same reason that Frosty mentioned. My favorite (and only) companion/follower is Meeko, the poor mutt who used to live with his master in "Meeko's Shack" until his master died of a disease which isn't fatal (at least to the Dovahkiin). I have a soft spot for lost animals and Meeko really needs a home. Once you make him essential (with the console, of course), he's actually a very enjoyable follower. He doesn't seem to exhibit the annoying constant bumping that plagues so many other followers, and when I'm sneaking he generally keeps his distance -- totally unlike Barbas' obnoxious behavior. I think the next time I do that quest I'll kill that insufferable mutt, just to see what happens, even though I don't really want the hammer. Don't get me wrong. Barbas is a very valuable follower. He's invincible. Literally. He isn't even "essential", but is in godmode, and may be the only NPC in the game who is. Meeko, though, with a mod installed that makes him quiet, is a joy to have around. I like him so much, in fact, I'm considering making my first Skyrim mod a Meeko Make-Over, complete with a more effective AI and a user-friendly way to interact with him and give him commands.

I have to admit, I avoid Meeko's cabin like the plague... :sad: ....I have a soft spot too and can't say 'no' if I run into him, so I try not to....I don't want to over power my Dovahkin by having two exceptional followers and well...I'm a cat person... :turned: ....and just love my blue eyed fluffy and fanged boy to bits.... :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy8 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Dremora Lord! Love his rantings. All that "The challenger is me!" and "No match at all!" Hear it for about a month by now, and still not bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's another mod that allows you to summon Saber Cats and much more.It's called "Conuration Madness". One of my favourite mods, actually. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
