I started off having Faendal following me. He has now died but when i try to get someone else to follow me they say i already have someone with me. Ive gone back to where he died to see if he had regenerated but he is still just lying dead on the floor. Does anyone know how i can get rid of him? This is very frustrating!!! cheers

Same exact issue. Any help would be appreciated

Exactly, there are a fair few other threads on this issues. However none of them have answers.
