 * coughcough* Rumarin

Although, yea, he's part of a mod (Interesting NPC's), but the guy is srsly the best follower I've ever had. Kinda takes away all of those depressive moments that most of the questlines have with his dialogue; he also makes you question your decisions for doing something in a few of the questlines, so he's a plus for character building. He can get a bit sarcastic, deflective and/or self-deprecating, so if your character is serious and you want to stay that way Rumarin really isn't the best option due to his personality. He has extensive dialogue tho', and a backstory with which without it he'd seem like some shallow jester (no, not like Cicero, never like Cicero). In terms of combat, if he has nothing on him he relies only on conjured bows and swords (calls himself a "bladebinder", someone who only knows how to bind weapons); his abilities are onehanded, archery, light armor and conjuration (but only knows 2 to 3 spells). He levels with the player and has no cap lvl. I also saw him fell down both Vilkas and Ria in a random encounter, using only a dagger and a lesser ward spell that he rarely--if ever--uses. Although, he has this tendency of rushing into battle, so he's not exactly the best follower for ranged mages and archers. Luckily, he's essential and tolerates friendly fire.

He has no morality whatsoever so he can attack and steal if you command him to. Curiously, he's not a mercenary and nor do you need to complete something for him to follow you. Just hire him and y'all set ready to go.

All in all, the guy is like this overgrown banana puppy that was let into a weapons cache.
