These NPCs often want you to do something for them at first quest rewards, compete a quest for the NPC, or even beat the NPC in a fist fight to get them to follow you. These are companions that will travel with you into combat and whatever odds and ends you do in the Skyrim world. Throughout the game, you are going to come across NPCs that have a ‘follow me’ speech option. Note: this has nothing to do with the “Companions” or fighters guild. The game has a companion system to have traveling partners, animal companions, and someone to come home too after exhausting day of dragon slaying. Fellow Nords and ladies, has trudging through the tundra of Skyrim become lonely? Do the numerous dragon skeletons not offer the sort of companionship you desired? Skyrim is massive, why go alone? Am I alluding to a sort of co-op or multiplayer in Skyrim – sadly no.
