So reading on here and my own opinions of the new DLC and the Main quest bad guy Miraak, do you not think he could have been more menacing if they had implemented him killing in front of you one of your acquired followers and then spending time distracted finding a way to bring them back might not have only lengthened the DLC but make your fight with Miraak a ton load more personal?

just an idea for a then great game mechanic, i'll explain:

Ether a Quest from Neloth to help bring them back (Could be a dwemer device or telvanni magic)

OR (my favorite idea for it:




tell me what you think, I would personally have loved a growing battle between the player and Miraak, Like a bond Villain seems to some how make it personal with Bond and pretty much beat him but then in the end Bond finds a way (weird reference i know)

I dont want to be Neloth's Thrall

I bet Besthesda has thought of that and has implemented a way, maybe levels, so we can't get them. Try on essential characters and we'll see. I haven't got there yet, but I'll try as soon as I get the shout.

how would asking Neloth for help in resurrecting a follower/friend or even wife make you his thrall ..? or did you misunderstand my OP
