I think it's interesting that the most annoying Followers, Cicero, Mjoll, Spectral Assassin. The only follower who does that automatically is the Dark Dbrotherhood initiate. You have to Wabbajack him, or reset his level via console. Give her Uthgerd's Steel Plate armor, until you can get a Dragon Cultist's Anchient Nord, or Yamarz's Orcish. Go back in, say "Follow Me" and leave Riften by a different gate. Dispatch him quickly, anddescretely, dump his body in the lake. Before he finishes his response, travel through the door, so he follows you. Tell her to "Wait Here" by the dockside exit to the Blackbriar Meadery, and engage Aerin in dialog.

Usually the first 2 missions I do with her are Siege on the Dragon Cult, and The Cursed Tribe, which are far too dangerous for a Ducky too, so you kind of have to Assassinate him. He's also got a nasty habit of following us out to attack sabercats, or Dragons bare handed.


If she sees the body, she won't feel like talking, and never come adventuring again. I don't bother with style, just tell her to "Wait Here" (The Guardian Stones is a convenient spot.) and backstab her, or play William Tell. But only if I'm playing a Evil character. Which isn't to say I never broke Uthgerd for her shiny armor. Watch your step, don't jump, and draw your weapon early.Followers don't annoy me enough to kill them. Jumping, drawing your weapon, clanging armor, and even knocking random junk items around can alert them to your presence.
