R.I.P,

Lydia, I was a low level and so when those bloody vampires cut you down I got the heck out of there. I think I went back to avenge you later. Then again maybe that was somewhere else.

Marcurio, You were absolutely my favorite follower, your magic made you beast, I killed that dragon priest in your honor Marcurio.

Iona, I sacrificed you to the Daedra, you annoyed me.

Dark Elf merc in Whiterun, I fought bandits with you on a shipwreck, then I pulled back my warhammer and smashed your skull in.

People of Markarth, I killed almost all of you and there may be 10 of you left.

First horse, two Sabre cats took you out and I hate you.

Werewolf in a cage, Because we were both werewolfs I let you out of that cage. You attacked me and I killed you.

Don't know why you can't kill her, I killed a guy in the inn payed off my fine and left, and apparently my follower killed Mjoll because I got a letter of inheritance.

RIP Dragonf***er, my horse.

One of the only times I used you, and every god damn a**hole in skyrim has to turn up behind my back to kill you. Ain't it a b****.

I don't often use followers. I had enough trouble not shooting farkas in the back while doing one of the companion quests, being an archer primarily.

Also, one person stealth is a lot easier than two.

To my dog Bosco.

I don't remember your actual name, but you were my dog. You managed to tank dragons, but one day I accidentally threw a fireball in your face because I thought you were a wolf in a vampire cave.

RIP Bosco

Being part of the PC Master Race no one can die since I control the powers of life and death.

R.I.P Eorland, The night before I seen a tip that sneaking behind and hitting you while you work would increase sneak and you wouldn't fight back. But before I could test it Heimsker or whatever his name was got annoying. So when I shouted him very, very far everyone attacked me. Yet you and Farkas stayed by my side the guards still cut you both down. But I killed those guards, and Heimsker. Never did test that tip...

Rest in Peace, Vorstag.

No seriously, stay dead. Nothing personal, you know, but I don't want to argue with you about the virtues of binding you to a post and sacrificing you to Boethiah.

I sacrificed Lydia for that one Daedric quest where you have to sacrifice someone at that altar.
I rode Shadowmere off a cliff and didn't bother reloading my save because his body landed in a river and began to poetically drift off towards the sunset.
I also took Faendal, my very first companion, into a forest about 100 hours into the game and killed him, because I needed the blood of a Bosmer for one particular quest, and didn't know of any other Bosmers at the time.

R.I.P Lydia, stolen horse, windhelm thane guy, hired merc #1, Hired merc guy #2, Kharja, stray dog, summoned flame atronach, summoned familiar, erik the slayer.

I have no idea how most of you died, guess you all just kinda sucked too much and decided to die, maybe i loaded you down with too much gear, i don't know. But what i do know is that you are all equally replaceable temporary packmules that i occasionally beat savagely as punishment for your very existence. i love you all, you will be missed and later forgotten.

Oh, since I'm seeing a lot of Shadowmere grief here: Shadowmere respawns 10 days after s/he[footnote]Female in prior games, male in this one, though Astrid supposedly can refer to Shadowmere as either gender[/footnote] dies, at the location of his/her death. So rejoice! Your nightmare steed is reborn!

R.I.P. Maurice. You never got to see the eldergleam sanctuary.

Granted, it probably would have been a better idea to stay back and let me handle that three-way fight between a giant and a dragon, but still, hell of a way die.

You annoying unarmed french bastard.
Who is this Maurice and where can I find him

Maybe I'll find out later... but how do all these companions actually die? I've had my low level mage's bacon saved dozens of times by Lydia. Though one of these days I may end her for constantly blocking doorways I want to get through...

And Shadowmere, really? That horse has been my stealthy assassin's trusty steed for absolutely ages and has yet to fail me by dying all over the place.

Oh sweet jesus mine feels more like a casualty list from a battle.

Lydia: Pissed off my ally Imperial Soldiers somehow during a fort battle
Aela: Accidental Giant Encounter
Farkas: Bandit arrows
Erandur: Pissed off town guards somehow
Uthgerd: Accidentally killed her with a Blizzard spell

Jordis: Lost him when wandering near Windhelm, presumed dead.
Brelyna: Lost her when doing the Final Quest, presumed dead or bugged.
Faendal: Lost him when wandering in the woods, presumed dead.
Hopefully Mjoll doesn't share the same fate as her fellows when Dawnguard finally comes to the PC....

R.I.P.

Sven, I sent him home from Solstheim to return to my estates and my family (He was my steward) while I was at Winterhold training at the college. I got a letter of his death 1 day later.



(I rage quit, didn't have a good save and lost a whole day of progress. Worth it)

The only person I've ever lost was Vilkas, and that was due to a poisoned sword from a Falmer Shadowmaster when we were exploring Blackreach. The poison effect ate through his essential NPC status and killed him. Luckily a patch was made to stop that from happening, though it listed it as a rare issue - which I find hilarious, since I had to reload when this happened three times in a row.

So no one in my game is actually dead. I've been thinking about getting a horse, but the risks seem quite high... instead, I have a random horse that drops me off whenever I fast travel and then wanders back to the camp near Dawnstar that I found it in. Other than that, I've also taken Lydia with me lately (after she's been sitting at my house ever since I got her, around 200 hours ago into the game) and I've also acquired the Steadfast Dwarven Spider. He's nicknamed Teapot.

RIP Aranea

You were awesome, but I should have known you couldn't take the same falling damage I could. At least I got my magic gear back that I decked you out with.

Next play through I'll be careful, promise.

R.I.P. Lydia. Fell through the trap door in the dungeon with the psycho fire mage. It was a good death though. Reanimated her corps with a little necromancy but one look at her with the burnt corpses mod and ... no ...no, no, no! That's not natural! So she died twice that day.
