I'm new to the Elder Scrolls games, and Skyrim has really become a time stealer for me. I don't game much, but found this game to really svck me in.

But - I would love to see Bethesda add a command to followers - "Watch my back." where they would defend you from a distance, only getting into melee if you were getting clobbered, and why not ad an optional "voice" to your character.... hearing everyone else speak and reading your dialog is just a little less enthusiastic. They could have a few sets to choose from....

I'm sure there are other great ideas out there but the watch my back I really would like to see!

If you're on the PC, wait about 2-3 weeks after the CK gets released... you should get your wish by then.

Companions haven't been in other TES games to this extend. And what Hannador said, on the PC this is easily modded soon after the CK is released.

Dang i'm on xbox..... What is the big news?

Bummer. Get the next game for PC then.
Or even better, go get a gaming rig.
