So today, we’ll be narrowing it down a bit and pointing out the best of the best as we look at five more special followers you shouldn’t ever let go in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

    One thing you missed about the Rieklings: You don't have to chose one as a companion. If you run the quest to become their Chief, then just leave without taking one along, a whole group of them will randomly show up when you are in a big fight, and join in on your side. I've had them show up during a fight with a dragon, and inside a dungeon in a boss fight. It's pretty funny when they are all hooting at me and each other.

    I thought I helped the Nords, but somehow, I ended up with Stinky as a follower. We had many adventures together, but he disappeared when I went back to the mainland and eventually I forgot about him. Several trips back and forth to Solstheim later, I was out in the wilderness when a strange Reikling ran up to me. I pulled my weapon, but he didn't attack. Imagine my surprise to realize, after all those years, it was my very own little friend, Stinky!

    Kharjo was always my go to follower, however in my latest play through I’ve been doing a quick save only run, and made a mistake and quick saved after a big fight. I realized that he wasn’t by my side and searched around. It turned out he had died during the fight. So naturally, I picked up his armor, and took it home. I placed it on a mannequin, and placed the gold I inherited from him, along with the letter, in the chest just underneath. It never felt right to have another follower beside me so now I’m a lone wolf.

    Finally some Marcurio love. He's been my favorite (non-mod) follower since my first playthrough. I still have him with me in this modded playthrough, but we have Inigo with us as well. He's hilarious, and as you mentioned in the video, his AI seems better than most followers. Also, he's a candidate for marriage, or you can make him a steward at one of your properties.

She just about became the gods damned protagonist when she was downed by the troll, I was about to be killed and she stood back up just in time to kill it as it was swinging the killing blow at me. Needless to say, she was the first character I married in the game too.

      Lucien was pretty good when I used him, but I got annoyed by him saying his dialogue (half the reason you'd use him in the first place) in the middle of a forced cutscene so you can barely hear it for most of the story-related stuff, or far away from you because he has fallen behind and can't auto catch up like AFT-compatible followers can, or just as you are hitting a load door so it gets cut off.

First she's wearing a Alik'r Hood as long as you don't give her headgear, looking incredibly cool; and (as long as you don't give her a shield) she's dual-wielding scimitars and becomes quite powerful with her attacks. She allegedly goes down in boss fights earlier than Lydia because she isn't blocking, but I really haven't felt any of that - and she makes just so much more damage.
    I was searching for a Dwemer ruin during the "Lost to the Ages" quest, got attacked by a dragon and some DB Cultists at the same time, fought them off, then went searching for her and discovered that the fight had awaken Krosis and while I was busy fighting the Cultists she just took care of Krosis by herself

    Once you become chief, you can get randomly helped by rieklings on Solsteim. If you recruit a warrior from them instead of the meadhall, they'll use two handed swords instead of bows, making them much better in melee. They also can equip light armor, so with enough skill in smithing and enchanting you can make them as tough as any human follower. I found two meatsheilds to be handy for my squishy mage character, right up until someone hit someone else and we had our own civil war. Never did forgive Lydia for murdering our little buddy...

      If you want to know the difference between Rieklings and Goblins, just look at the Goblins in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and you try telling me that looks like a Riekling

    Marcurio is far and away my favorite follower. He's hilarious and he's fucking kick ass. I don't think he's over confident, just very self-assured.

    One amazing thing about Reiklings is that when you get into combat, at least in Solstheim I haven’t tried in Skyrim, they can summon one or two allied Reiklings to join in the fight spawning in from basically no where, so you get 3 followers for the price of one! Although the others that spawn can’t carry things and won’t continue to follow you.

    I LOVE Karjo. He’s really funny and he runs axe and shield, like me. It adds to the adventuring part of it.

    Riekling Warrior with a great sword was an awesome tank for my cleric run!
