Can I have 2 followers in Skyrim?

As you embark on your adventure in the vast world of Skyrim, you may have wondered if it’s possible to have more than one follower by your side. In this article, we’ll delve into the details of Skyrim’s follower system and answer this question once and for all.

Getting a Party of Five (or More)

Direct answer: No, you cannot have more than one humanoid follower at any given time. However, you can have two companions in total, as we’ll see in the next section.

According to Bethsoft, the game’s developer, there is a hard limit of one humanoid follower (e.g., a villager, a merchant, or another NPC) per player at a time. This is due to the game’s design, where each humanoid follower has its own unique set of needs, behaviors, and interactions.

But what about the Daedric Princes? Well, they don’t count as humanoid followers and are exempt from this rule, as they are immortal beings bound to the Daedra rather than mortal inhabitants of Tamriel.

Special Cases

There are, however, exceptions to this rule:

• Animal companions: You can have more than one animal companion, such as dogs, wolves, or horses, as long as they’re all non-humanoid creatures.
• Atronachs: Summons, like those provided by potions or Daedric artifices, do not occupy the same slot as a humanoid follower.

Serana: A Compelling Exception

And then there’s Serana, the vampire follower from the Dawnguard DLC. She stands out as a notable exception to this rule. Serana can be in love with you, which affects her personality and interactions. To clarify: even if you already have a human companion, Serana will still join your party and remain your follower until her storyline concludes.

Flirting with Serana and Getting Married

There is a mod that enables you to romance Serana and get married! If you want to explore a deep bond with her, look for mod options that allow flirtation with non-romanceable NPCs.

Important Note: This does not change the hard limit on humanoid followers in the standard game, but rather introduces an additional plot twist through a mod.

In conclusion, while there are limitations to having multiple followers in Skyrim, there are exceptional cases and opportunities to have an expanded party with animal companions and atronachs. If you have any further questions, please refer to the in-game lore and guides provided in the game itself. Enjoy your adventure in Skyrim, and remember, having two followers is always more fun than having just one!
