I was thinking that it should be some followers that really stood out to me and have good values. So that throws out all the mercenaries, and since I want the housecarls to guard my house, I wouldn't want to use them either. Just wondering which followers you guys chose and why? And if you have any suggestions for me as of which ones "deserve" to be blades for outstanding qualities. I already chose Mjoll from Riften since she seemed one of the few honest people in that terrible, corrupt city.

Cicero

Choose people you wont be adventuring with. They like to stick together in a tight pack when fighting dragons, when one yields... the aoe from the dragon breath aimed at his freind 2 inches from away finishes em off.

He'll certainly make it ... .. .... ... um... lively?

I chose Mjoll as well, plus J'zargo and some orc lady near Markarth whose name I can't recall.

ill chose everyone more the merrier but i was wondering do they keep the armor u give them if so im making dragonbone 4 everybody new uniform

I was the under the impressions that they eventually wear blades armor. Not sure when though, perhaps when they start the missions? I'd love to know what armor they wear as well.

They wear Blades armour as soon as they get to Sky Haven. I chose Mjoll and Lydia, plus Cosnach from Markarth. I only chose Cosnach because I couldn't think of any other followers at the time; I think it's pretty funny now to have a drunken buffoon in the honoured position of a Blade.

Or at least, I did, until I killed him for Boethia.

Illia, Anneke the Crag Jumper and Uthgerd the Unbroken

There is this thing called punctuation.

You can only add three people.

They use Blades armor, cause they're in the Blades. Hence the Blades armor.

I choose a beast a man and a mer, just to not be rascist >.>

All nords because in Oblivion I cant remember them being any other than imperials.

Odd. Mjoll didn't change her armor right away when she got there. I'll check again.
