I'm wondering if it's possible to make someone a follower through console commands. Not just any someone though... An automation. I'd like a Dwemer Spider Follower, but I want to do it without mods. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

I think you can set many settings for NPC's in the console. I think usually that's a risky way to do it though, can cause things to get buggy I think. I know you said you wanted to do it without mods but there is a mod that does allow you to build your own dwarven mechanicals to follow you.
