The Blades Recruitment - 3 Extra Permanent Followers? : V

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 5:43 am

To recruit followers, make sure that you have a companion with you when you talk to her. When you do have a companion, simply tell her that you found a recruit and then she’ll begin the initiation process. Give her at least three followers and then you can talk to Esbern. He’ll then give you quests where you and the new Blades member can hunt Dragons. This can be done as many times as you want!

I've always wanted more than 1 Followers. I initially thought the only part where you get 3 Followers is during Alduin's Wall Quest where you have to tell Delphine and Esbern to go with you to clear the Forsworn Camp then head somewhere else and you will get 3 permanent Followers. But according to this quote from JustPushStart, it is possible to get 4 permanent Followers after Alduin's Wall Quest by recruiting 3 to The Blades then ask Esbern to give a Dragon location and never go there? That way you would have 3 Blades and 1 Housecarl following you at all time as long as you avoid that Dragon location?

Also wondering about the Follower's Storage Capacity. Is it true for all Light & Heavy Armor Followers in all Patches that once dismissed then resigned, their Storage Capacity lessen as their Armor get duplicated?

Thank you

You can't get them as followers. They only arrive at the dragon's location and you can't do anything that you can do with a follower to them, not to mention they have NO immortality at all.

Awww, I was getting my hopes up

So you mean those 3 Blades will be scripted to walk to Esbern's destination only, right? Does this mean Mjoll The Lioness can die when she becomes The Blades member too?

IDK but they are still followers, but they now stay at Sky Haven Temple so other than living somewhere else, they would act normally. Yes, the Blades walk to Esbern's destination only

you can get 2 more followers by using undead thrall, hell, you could even enchant their armor like a real follower.

I'd really rather have human companions, lol. I'm a warrior, too.
What about the Carrying Capacity, does anyone know anything about this?

Your followers are limited to about the same carrying capacity as you --- that is if you 'share' with them. However, you know that if you drop something from your inventory and then ask your follower to pick it up, it doesn't count toward carrying capacity --- they can carry an infinite amount.

You know that if you do that in some places like Palaces and NPC homes it will change ownership of the items from you to the NPC who's pad it is? And then we'll see another thread about how stupid Bethesda is for selling people a broken game...

I'm not that far yet actually. Thing is I've just completed The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller and with the way Delphine acts I just didn't like her and ended up refusing to cooperate with her. Then I found out there are no more Dragons! So my character is really just living the happy life helping out town people while accumulating wealth. I just have no intention of moving on, as my understanding is after talking to Delphine and associating myself with her things will only get worst and Dragons will start coming back with no way to reverse it. So I got to thinking what is the point of talking to her now? Dragons have already stopped terrorizing towns, I'm already accepted by The Greybeards, my character is so popular being granted Thanes for so many cities, everything is as good as it can be! I'm not sure if the stage I'm in right now is "intended" by the developers? It already seems like the quest has ended for me and I'm just living a good life reserved for Heroes after their Main Quests have completed.

Yeah, I think that's one of the glitch, I'm trying to avoid doing it.
