Companion Quests & Recruitment

Discover all the followers in Oblivion! Learn about permanent companions like the Adoring Fan and temporary quest allies, and how to recruit them.

Alright, let's talk about companions in Oblivion! Having someone watch your back can make a huge difference, whether you're exploring the deepest dungeons or just wandering through Cyrodiil. These allies are called 'Followers,' and they can join you on your adventures. You can even give them simple commands like 'Wait,' 'Follow,' or 'Go away.' Most followers aren't 'essential,' meaning they can actually die. But don't worry too much; most of them will respawn at their original location after a while, unless they're one of the Knights of the Nine. ### Permanent Followers These are the folks you can ask to join you, and they'll stick around until you tell them to leave, they die, or you dismiss them.
