So who is the best. I had Lydia but she is pitiful, has a measly 186 health and no matter if i try the console command of disable enable, it does nothing. Not to mention i'm SSSOOO sick of her stupid response when you ask her to carry things. Just about as irritating as listening to a dog constantly bark over and over.

Who is the best person that preferably wears heavy armor?

The chick in the bar in Whiterun is pretty tough....she throws a mean punch.

Nice i'll check her out.

Awesome i'm from Calgary too

Lol hails from Forest Lawn mate.

Barbas the talking dog.
Hands down the best tanking companion because hes effing immortal and has a small hitbox so its harder to accidentally blast him.

However get ready to get constantly pushed around by him and have him jam doorways. Freaking annoying -___-

Dude in marath or whatever. The little port town. You have to brawl him, but he follows. Though he is the same as Stenvar. Heavy/2h

The orc guy is a good tank in heavy armor. Ghorbash the iron hand.

In order to make the enable/disable console command work with her, you need to send her home (take all her equipment first).
