Is the amount of followers limited?

PC players can use the console to allow more than one follower at a time. After obtaining a follower, the PlayerFollowerCount global varable is set to 1. Setting it back to 0 will enable you to obtain another follower.

To set PlayerFollowerCount to zero, open the console (default ~), type in set PlayerFollowerCount to 0, hit enter, then close the console ~.


The game limits the amount of followers to:

  • One recruitable follower
  • Unlimited quest followers. People who will follow Dovahkiin untill a specific task is completed.

If you want to expand the original recruitable follower limit the mod below solves the problem:

Extensible Follower Framework

Extensible Follower Framework is a mod that allows up to 100 Dovahkiin followers. In the following picture 16 of them are chilling at Breezehome, Whiterun.

Main features

  • Recruit up to 100 followers at once
  • Follower commands are executed via menu rather than dialogue
  • Followers stats (combat, skills, magic, etc) can be displayed
  • Followers mount horses
  • Followers can "collect" or "harvest" items
  • Followers can "relax"
  • Followers outfit can be edited
  • Followers stats can be "updated" via the "Train" command
  • Followers can dual wield
  • Followers can be assigned to be "Default", "Protected", or "Essential"
  • Any available command can also be applied to the entire group at once

Isn't the game too easy then?

Not exactly. Keep in mind attacking and bleeding are key factors to level up. That means you're still very vulnerable to strong attacks but still won't waste your time dueling boring enemies. This mod has a greater level of awesome against multiple enemies featured by war mods.


I had a pretty big party rolling down the land of skyrim. Riding the immortal horse Shaddowmere, find Barbos the immortal dog (just don't complete the quest and he follows you to the end of the game).

At one point in the main story you get the option to travel with Delphine and the other blade Esbern, who summons 2 Atronaches. I found a hunter whose friends were torn apart by bears, give him a potion and tell him you'll avenge his friends (don't finish the sidequest) and he follows you till the end of the game. Master conjuring to get two Atronaches plus your follower using a staff of the familiar and bam: 11 man party:

  • Hero (you)
  • 2 summons
  • Follower
    • His summon
  • Horse
  • Dog
  • Hunter
  • 2 blades with one summon.
