I love followers. I love Lydia.

But.... what other video game characters do you think would be good followers in Skyrim?

Marcus Fenix(gears of war) would put a smile on my face.

He couldn't use a lancer, but I could see him with a sword.

Charon from FO3. I miss Charon so much. I found love for Ghouls because of him

Link and Lara Croft. They know how to climb.

Chell, from portal. Screw climbing!

Minsc

Commander Sheppard ^^
Indiana Jones (so i don't have to mess with Puzzles and stuff)

what.. no glados?

then no cake for you.

but all of our commander sheppards are different

The cake is a lie!

Liara T'soni, biotics are awesome

Edwin Odesseiron & Viconia DeVir

OR

Leliana & Tali

liara was my CMDR sheppard's lover

Mario! That little guy would have an extremely high magicka, considering all he does is shoot fireballs!

indeed.

Hope you gathering herbs and such in Skyrim, I heard he has a problem with mushrooms.

this is for you:

i love the reference to black mesa(half life for those that haven't played)

Oh yeah I know the lyrics by heart, love that song.

How about Thane from ME2? Or Wrex. Thane would have all the sneak skills plus a mastery of acrobatics in oblivion terms. While Wrex would bash in any skull possible...

I'd love to see a mod add Watson from Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (with the scary music).

Oh how I miss my good ol' buddie Charon *sniff* we went everywhere together and watched each others backs.
I would give him a crossbow and some heavy armour, then take him with me to push that Lydia off High Hrothgar.

The Harlequin from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood would be a good companion to have with me on assassination missions.
I'd imagine he would get along well with Cicero and his constant silence could make for some good sign language/mime conversation.
Which I picture to be a lot like the dialog with Christine Royce in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Dead Money.

Another decent follower would be Wrex from Mass Effect. You could play out he's an argonian subspecies, vengeful against dunmer slavers. Heh.

There was a Viconia-mod for Oblivion IIRC. If someone make one for Skyrim I have to by a new pc.

Viconia. I miss you so much!

(Even though you ditched me...)

I got the ultimate:

Lilith from borderlands. phasewalk would kick butt!!

Oh I feel your pain. Where's my good old Ghould pal? He destroyed with his shotgun, and even though he decided to just drop my unique mini-gun in a random ditch, and lose it forever.. He was still my friend!

another John Marston.

If for nothing else he would teach me how to have my horse come when I whistle.

Roman, from GTA IV. "Hey! Dovahkiin! My cousin!!!"
