A few weeks ago I got the Follower Bug, and came on to this site for help. LOL no luck here of course. So next I called Bethesda's Technical support line. No luck there either. Anywho just about 10 mins. ago I was playing Skyrim, and I went to one of my Hearthfire homes to finish building it. I never got a steward for this house so I walked up to my house carl and the option came up to ask him to be my steward, so I asked him and as soon as I did a message in the top left corner of my screen popped up saying " Follower has left your side" after It made him my steward I bought things for my home and then asked him to follow me. AND HE SAID OK Let's GO!!! Whoooooooooo!!! he started to follow me and then I clicked on part ways. THE END!!! So if you have the Follow Bug and haven't made anyone your Steward at all 3 Herthfire Locations then PLEASE DO THIS and the Bug will be gone!
